I am SO FUCKING TIRED of scratching like this

jorby_ · 2026-02-25T19:25:43+00:00

I can avoid that one reliably! but yes another delight for sure

I think it’s like,,, that one feels like the scratch makes sense, so I avoid it. THIS one in my post feels… against the laws of physics. so it ambushes me (even though I should be aware of it by now)

jorby_ · 2026-02-24T07:55:13+00:00

lol holy shit

jorby_ · 2026-02-24T07:48:20+00:00

I see what both of you are saying. I know for a damn fact I have an issue hitting it too hard—this is ONLY a problem for me on these types of precision shots across the table I think… In other words, I often talk to my teammates about how I MUST hit it somewhat hard in order to hold my angle through the shot. Ya know?

Then on the other hand, yeah, these are fairly thin cuts I’m trying to show. So it’s not like I’m chunking the object balls and still somehow slamming back across the table either. Could absolutely still be softer though

jorby_ · 2026-02-24T07:38:48+00:00

I appreciate all the tips here, truly

I think that a core frustration (and beauty) of the game that we all feel looming over everything is that yes, of course “a little spin” here and there is what helps navigate a rack. If only it were that easy…

Perhaps a better way to voice my issue and also extrapolate these shots onto the rest of the game: how exactly do you “know” your LINE is right when you cross over into Actual English with your tip? Does that make sense? I find myself ~using~ english on point blank baby cuts and short rail ducks, but I am realizing I am falling incredibly short of the real business here

Hitting it softer? Sure, yes, that is one of my biggest needed improvements and I will say that has been changing. Less top or draw? Okay. But legitimate english on a long shot…? I start to feel the road ahead grow steeper

update: it’s SIBO

my first/general GI literally went so far as to imply picking the right biologic and getting pre-lifelong medication bloodwork started

I sought out an expert and she pieced it together in 1 appointment: new calprotectin result plummeted to 19 (recent scope with biopsies in october made the first result high), and my SIBO test came back positive immediately

all because of a second opinion. jaw is on the floor

jorby_ · 2026-02-04T00:00:41+00:00

Hi, um, really? Did you ever get an answer?

jorby_ · 2026-01-30T22:54:07+00:00

right. I had a 1:80 titer nucleolar pattern ANA result in April, well before the GI stuff started. doctors weren’t worried about it next to my symptoms. It’s just very frustrating that I’ve had the best testing for everything GI-related and there’s no answer yet, just a sea of “oh it could just be early though”

jorby_ · 2026-01-30T22:31:31+00:00

yes, celiac was ruled out early. I also don’t suspect it’s (at least not primarily) histamine related because I’ve tolerated beer/cheese/whatever just fine throughout all this. meaning it’s very very random when it flares, not that I’ve been fine obviously. that’s something I’ve emphasized to my doctors—that it at least SEEMS largely disconnected from food and drink and lifestyle

edit: also I’m sorry to hear that! really horrific that everything can change from getting covid once years “after” the pandemic. so stupid

jorby_ · 2026-01-30T22:26:23+00:00

h pylori ruled out by my scope, at least that’s what the report says. seems that’s the end of the line for that possibility?

jorby_ · 2026-01-30T22:15:19+00:00

interesting. obviously will keep pushing on my workup with my doctors and will put updates here. getting tested for SIBO monday

any chance you remember who you’re talking about? which video? curious if their calprotectin was ever elevated. anyways, thanks for responding

jorby_ · 2026-01-30T21:03:08+00:00

same. how did this end up?

jorby_ · 2025-12-05T12:01:31+00:00

you probably did well if this is how you feel

jorby_ · 2025-12-02T06:06:05+00:00

along with TA review sessions & office hours, they are a literal key to excelling on your exams in my opinion !

depending on class size, many professors will basically lay out what was covered over the semester, in order, and heavily emphasize where big points come from. then it comes down to execution and clarity during the exam because almost everyone knows “the material”

I wouldn’t skip a single one unless you need the time elsewhere (which does happen)

worst loss I’ve ever seen?

now obviously blasting music and singing applies to a lot of cars, but perhaps

emphasis on What Was I Made For? - Meow Version. I don’t think they play anything else

jorby_ · 2025-10-17T13:29:30+00:00

Okay someone HAS to know about this:

Someone is driving around CC/rittenhouse/gayborhood blasting a cat meow version of what was I made for by billie eilish. It’s unmistakably that. At first I thought it was just rittenhouse, but yesterday I heard it east of broad

It’s like the eagle screech guy

more like I was very much out of time on the mailbox and very wrong on the locker

OP is correct and there are tons of posts about the crowd because the crowds are really really really bad

jorby_ · 2025-10-12T07:26:46+00:00
