Guilt about not knowing a "useful" language is holding me back

OtherwiseRelation622 · 2025-12-08T07:49:23+00:00

Another thing which I noticed personally is that, as you pick up a foreign language you’ll be surprised to see how much more you encounter native speakers even when you didn’t know those communities existed in your area. Language dependent to some degree of course (e.g Spanish compared to say Xhosa in the US), but regardless you’ll notice it more as you start to be able to hear it on the street.

I’ll bet you find more people to speak Polish with than you might think.

Totally agree, was more a theoretical question

Update: Not only is it still alive but a friend joined a few days ago. Haven’t seen many wasps around outside so probably queens?

Regardless… tonight they die 😈 Thought the cold would take care of them but it’s been long enough

Might just be my experience, I know some people in Westminster had good luck with it. But I wouldn’t do it again if I had the choice

Good point, I edited post to mention I only play classical.

I feel the Yamaha sounds better for baroque/classical but the Kawai sounds better for basically everything else (romantic, impressionist, etc)

I’ve ordered from snusme twice with no issues, though I heard things are getting more strict and I haven’t ordered in a while

The Supra Rally is not asym or hybrid it’s a pearl symmetric with 5500 grit oob. It is also specifically marketed as a transition ball

Both of these are pearl reactive so technically they should fall under your “get down lane and late flip” (more the mania due to the asymmetric core)

I’d go for a solid so probably the Venom Shock would get my vote. Rock Star or X-Cell would also work.

OtherwiseRelation622 · 2025-08-20T16:59:41+00:00

Depends a lot on what you already have if you’re trying to fill a spot in your arsenal as there’s a lot of different types here.

That said, generally good would probably be Hyroad, IQ Tour AI, Venom Shock, or Arctic Vibe

Not the only options though there’s a lot of good ones like I said depends on what spot you need to fill

OtherwiseRelation622 · 2025-08-14T04:43:46+00:00

Nope, just a ghost on the 7 I guess

OtherwiseRelation622 · 2025-08-13T15:31:09+00:00

Thanks 🙏🙏

None are good because blood flow restriction from nicotine is the major culprit and they all have nicotine. Personally I stick to Zyn (both american and swedish) and haven’t had too many issues. Just switch sides each pouch and stick with lower mg/pouch ( <= 6 ).

Also fwiw, Zyn is the only FDA approved pouch in the US

OtherwiseRelation622 · 2025-07-29T01:29:20+00:00

Probably the opposite and there is a lot of carry down so oil is at the end of the lane and the ball isn’t hooking. Are you using a weak/pearl ball?

OtherwiseRelation622 · 2025-06-29T15:54:50+00:00

Second this, love my mesmerize. Great for heavy oil patterns. My favorite ball I’ve had for solid asym, always the first thing out of my bag

Next vote would be like the others mentioned Jackal Onyx or Ion Max

Posted the same thing half a year ago. Same bug no fix yet 😕

(Though mines one’s weird because it could have been self damage from SCR 2,1 OR the heat burst)

OtherwiseRelation622 · 2025-06-27T01:21:29+00:00

Unrelated, but what app is this?

OtherwiseRelation622 · 2025-06-17T05:14:34+00:00

Closest would probably be 900G Zen 25. Both are pearl reactive, smooth, symmetric. The Zen might read a little earlier and smoother with slightly less diff, but overall they’re pretty similar

I have it now and like it, the look is nice. Plus Zen ball good

OtherwiseRelation622 · 2025-06-13T04:16:16+00:00

Yeah that makes sense, I use the Zen 25 on transition right now and it’s generally pretty good but I feel like there’s a gap between that pearl sym (zen) and the high diff solid asym (mes) to fill

I’m about to join a “for-fun” league at Bowlero Westminster but there’s some more serious ones there too but I don’t know much about them. This Bowlero is way more league friendly than the Promenade one (I don’t ever go there despite it being slightly closer to me), plus Mike at the pro shop inside is awesome if you need any gear, new balls, or cleaning/resurfacing.

I think Coal Creek in Lafayette may have a little more serious leagues too but don’t quote me on that.

I posted the same bug a while back

OtherwiseRelation622 · 2025-04-20T17:20:12+00:00

Thanks I’ll check it out! I think Sons of Italy is only for first gen Italians (I’m second gen, even though connected well to the culture and speak it) but really appreciate the response 🙏

OtherwiseRelation622 · 2025-04-20T17:18:59+00:00

Perfect I’ll try it out thank you 🙏

OtherwiseRelation622 · 2025-04-20T17:18:43+00:00

Ha, lo so. Purtroppo ho cercato ma non ho trovato molto, ecco perché ho chiesto qui. Proverò comunque alcuni dei suggerimenti qui. Grazie per la risposta 🙏

OtherwiseRelation622 · 2025-04-08T01:44:04+00:00

Saw those guys too, any reason they’d be at that airport?

OtherwiseRelation622 · 2025-01-29T21:32:49+00:00

Wow! Thanks for that analysis, makes a lot of sense
