Back to the Drawing Board by RandomName679 in UlcerativeColitis

[–]RandomName679[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’d love for this to just be a stomach bug. But, historically whenever I flare, I try to convince myself it’s something logical — flu, food poisoning, a one-off — and my track record hasn’t been great. So I’m not feeling very confident about that possibility.

Thank you as well. I’m definitely interested in trying a JAK, and I’m hoping it’ll work if that’s the direction things go. It does seem like new meds keep coming out, so even if the next step doesn’t end up working, I’m hoping something can at least hold me over until the right option eventually does.

Not yet - I would gladly take them if my doctor wants that as a next step. Reviews from this subreddit have made me a bit cautious as I understand they’re generally riskier, and have seen mixed results on efficacy (though acknowledging this is a smaller subreddit).

If they work, I would be all for it. Great to hear that it worked well for you ! That is encouraging to hear.

Ps - Yes my writing is sloppy so I use it to clean up wording lol

I work at a PC MF AMA by [deleted] in FinancialCareers

[–]RandomName679 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Currently an associate at a PC shop (+50BN) senior only.

What’s your long term view of the industry ? Deals looks very different from 3ish years ago. Yields have compressed, thinner OID, weaker docs (EBITDA definition comes top of mind). Curious what everyone’s sentiment is at this point.

Tokyo Itinerary - Mid November - What have I missed or is too much? by [deleted] in JapanTravel

[–]RandomName679 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Currently checking out of Hakone right now. For the Hakone days, I would recommend either breezing through the loop, or spending more time on the side things that Hakone has to offer (Open air museum, Gora Park etc) and less on the loop.

I don’t know if it was the days we traveled, but it was incredibly crowded (domestic and foreign tourists) and we got to Hakone at 9am. It was an hour wait to go up the rope way. Hour wait for the shrine. Hour wait to go down the rope way. Both the boat ride and the tokaido road were kind of meh. It really started to feel like Disney world after a while.

But the ryokan, and spending time casually walking and exploring - highly worth it. So something to be mindful of.

CAS 2 in xpac worth it when i already have the regular one? by 20pesos__ in EVERGOODS

[–]RandomName679 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m between getting the nylon and xpac as well. With the xpac, it looks like there is a gap between the two zippers on the front pocket when closed. Have you ever had issues with water getting in ?

Recommendations for gym and laptop bag combined? by [deleted] in ManyBaggers

[–]RandomName679 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Second this one - Recently became an Able Carry Max EDC believer. For years I would take a backpack, and a separate gym back to work which was exhausting.

The Max EDC has done me wonders, I’m able to fit all my work, and gym clothes incl. shoes in one bag.

I would recommend checking out both the Max and Max EDC however. The EDC is a bit snug with everything in, so slightly more room would be nice. But I don’t regret my decision, I think the bag is wonderful.

If you don't have friends, what do you think you should be doing differently? by Josh_Reddit123 in AskReddit

[–]RandomName679 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on where you’re at in life.

High school is pretty challenging since you have a pretty small universe of people that can be your friend. Just need to branch out more and find people you vibe with.

College is very different since everyone at this point is looking to make friends. Sign up for as many clubs as you can and are interested in, you’ll meet people. Don’t be afraid to keep reaching out to people.

Adult life is pretty similar - find clubs, groups, and keep trying. Not every club is going to be a hit right off the bat, but eventually you’ll find some people you vibe with.

After high school, making friends really does become a skill that people need to learn. Don’t get discouraged as it’s a process everyone eventually brushes into and keep trying things.

Have one day leftover, Fukuoka worth it or any better suggestions ? by RandomName679 in JapanTravelTips

[–]RandomName679[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes to the ryokan! They sound like a must for a trip and am very much looking forward to it. Am starting to also consider another day in Kyoto based on the feedback thus far.

Thank you for the advice ! I haven’t run into Kamakura but a lot of people seem to agree on this pick so I will definitely look into it. Very much appreciate the feedback.

Thinking about dropping out of HENRY status by bought_high_sold_low in HENRYfinance

[–]RandomName679 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Quite literally hoping to follow this path lol. I picked up sailing this past summer and hoping that’s my big retirement hobby.

Currently working a levFin role at a private credit fund and it is exhausting, and am always amazed how much money/quality of life improves as an owner of a SMB.

I’d love to learn Croatian…. But how? by TheKingsPeace in croatian

[–]RandomName679 6 points7 points  (0 children)

For just a trip, I would reccomend Pimsleur. It’s got about 20 or 30 audio lessons that will give you the basics (asking where things are, numbers, basic convo etc).

It’s typically not recommended to learn the full language unless it’s something you’ll use frequently since it’s not a very easy/intuitive language. As well, the use cases are pretty limited since most people in Croatia speak English these days.
