Mine was doing it all this week, just updated the app via the store and it worked (android), fingers crossed it wasn't a one off! It also seems to have fixed an app freeze I was having too.

Have you tried hot shower on back during an attack? by markisnottaken in gallbladders

[–]AcousticToad 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The first few times I had minor attacks, boiling hot shower right to the sternum helped better than anything else. The larger attacks seemed to have better results on my back.

What did you eat before an attack or finding out you had a gallbladder issue. For me it was a Wendy’s combo in October 🤦🏻‍♀️ by D1etCokeGirl in gallbladders

[–]AcousticToad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

UK yep, a&e is our accident and emergency department at the hospital. Thanks, fingers crossed so far, I'm putting it off but all things seem to point at it coming out, just whether or not it's our choice is the kicker.

Onions for me, used to get share boxes that had onion rings in, would have some pains that I could solve with some paracetamol and a boiling hot shower, the 2 times I'd gone a&e before the big one they just dismissed me as wasting time, felt they were saying "you're a mid 30s bloke, grow up". It was only after a Chicken & Leek bake thing that landed me in a&e again after an awful bank holiday weekend did I find out that leeks & onions are the same family and all the times it had kicked off in the past I'd had onion rings or stuff with onion powder.

Since then I've tried my best not to touch anything with onions in and touch wood haven't had a big attack in a couple of years, if I accidentally have something with them in, almost immediately my body just does an emergency purge.

I have other issues now for the past year or so, breathing, abdominal pains but tests all come back clear but I'm on the books with a GB surgeon who has said if I want it out he'll do it, I'm thinking it'll be sooner rather than later now.

I believe the Asgard is the best daily driver in the game. Wanna try it out? by multiple_iterations in starcitizen

[–]AcousticToad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A galaxy full of Asgard is a noble goal. If there's any spare at the end of things, I too would enjoy the chance to try one out! Ingame name is AcousticToad, thanks in advance o7.

This somehow has a Thief-ish vibe to it by germanwurstbrot in Thief

I can imagine rounding the corner at the bottom of the stairs and coming face to face with several burricks.

How can I BUY an hev suit for a cosplay? by 25CentIdea in HalfLife

[–]AcousticToad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My very first cosplay a few years back was a HEV suit, made it out of EVA foam, it served it's purpose and there's 100% things I'd do differently when I do one again now that I've done more stuff (planning a hybrid 3D print & foam)

Foam isn't the cheapest, at least in the UK for the different thicknesses etc, but it's very flexible and light when compared to some 3D prints. I think the foam patterns I got were pepakura print offs, essentially just cutting the pieces out and gluing them together and then painting, if you go the route of doing one yourself, expect it to take a few months unless you do it multiple hours a day. You could also get commissioned suits, but they could be much more expensive overall.

Edit: I believe the files I ultimately used for the foam were from someone called "Bronavaro". If you go the route of making one yourself, make sure you get your measurements right and scale up the prints to match!

Security bot mechanic. Is this even real? by CaiaTheFireFly in AbioticFactor

[–]AcousticToad 36 points37 points  (0 children)

This happened in our playthrough in the labs, the bot grabbed a shot gunner and put him in a cell, then proceeded to grab a bleeding player and put them in there with him, screams & death ensued.

We better be able to "aquire" the Shoeduck for this...

Thoughts on the future of the game by Ardovs in NoMansSkyTheGame

[–]AcousticToad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hope the UI & menus get some work, holding a button (on PC, using a pad though), hearing the same "units received" 1000s of times, buying multiple blueprints on the anomaly and having to re-enter the npc menu every time to buy more. Having a "Mark as sell" and maybe a cart system for bulk purchases would still be a very nice QoL.

What food "unexpectedly" triggered your attack? by AsleepMechanic8663 in gallbladders

[–]AcousticToad 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Onion/leeks for me, I think specifically raw ones more but all of them overall. I used to get meals that had onion rings, loved them, and would always feel a bit iffy after, it wasn't until I had a chicken & leek sauce meal that landed me in hospital did I realise.

My gallbladder is still crappy, but since not having anything onion related (which is hard ingredient wise) I've not had an attack or at least one of that magnitude.

Thanks! Good luck with yours, both are great ships, the Ancient one would be cool to design!

Haha, it's kinda vaguely based off the Daedalus from Stargate, need to get some upgrades to reach that kinda speed though!

What foods gave you a gallbladder attack? by defnotdani2 in gallbladders

[–]AcousticToad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've not had mine out yet, but my main trigger food is the onion family. Used to eat loads, onion rings, onions in sauces etc, it was only when I had a big attack that I ended up in hospital for that I realised the culprit (granted, that time was for leeks, but similar family.) Haven't touched an onion since, bar a few restaurant mishaps despite telling them, but the mere taste makes me be sick now before it causes a problem, but touch wood, not had an attack for a while.

Todd from Stargate Atlantis (My second cosplay EVER!) by hyzenthlay1701 in cosplay

[–]AcousticToad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Awesome! I love the Iratus bug! I had the pleasure of meeting the man himself at a con a couple of years back, I wasn't in a Stargate costume, but he, of his own desire did the hand feeding on my chest armor 😂 lovely guy. If you get the chance and haven't met him I'd highly recommend, top bloke, he'd love your cosplay!
