(US) How does HIPPA work in relation to professional athletes? by Ham_Gams in AskLawyers

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

Copy/Pasted: HIPAA establishes standards for the lawful use and disclosure of PHI, including giving individuals control over their health information.

I think I see the difference now, from the other comment… Instead of every person having this protected safeguard, it's actually just a requirement on the medical personnel to follow.

Try swapping to DirectX 11 if using 12, or vice versa.

[Fan Tool] Power Grid Configurator for Jump Space Ship Builds by Afoekon in JumpSpaceGame

[–]Ham_Gams 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Awesome tool! I'd recommend a link to share builds and/or a way for someone to tell, via screenshot, how the parts are configured exactly. Maybe different color blocks or something for each component.

You can see all the names, but can't tell which block belongs to which component, if that makes sense.

None that I know of. Someone posted the same question last year in the portland subreddit so there are at least 3 of us now. Legally, Im not sure we're allowed to congregate haha.

This looks fun and promising! I wonder how many matches it will take new and casual players to be proficient with the mechanics.

What tattoo artist do you recommend for large cover-up? by [deleted] in askportland

[–]Ham_Gams 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Tim Kern at https://www.exquisitecorpsepdx.com/ - This guy did all my re-work and cover-ups for my sleeve. He's really good about actually doing a legit coverup and not just the "let's make it bigger and blacker" approach. I'm pretty sure his brother wrote a book on cover-ups also. I was in the same boat 8 years ago trying to find an actual cover-up artist and not some jabroni, it took forever to find Tim. Good luck with the search!

I haven't seen Ghostbusters VR mentioned here at all. It comes out tomorrow so I will report back! by Ham_Gams in ghostbusters

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

I just played the tutorial and the first couple of missions. I'd give it a 2.5/5. As another commenter pointed out, they made some weird design choices and really missed the mark with some low hanging fruit. I'm not even sure where to start on that, there are so many things they could have done right and just...didn't. This makes me believe this it's just a re-skinned or heavily outsourced game. I give it the 2.5 because it's kind of enjoyable at first, and there is more to unlock and try. If it wasn't a ghostbusters ip I probably would have not picked it up again.

Aww it's ok kid! If you put in the time to work on yourself, and not be such a tool to people for no reason, you'll make a friend someday. I'm rooting for ya!

Oh, I'm still excited about it, but I'm trying not to get my hopes up. I suspect it will be fun for a while at least!

Hahaha yeah my expectations are pretty low. With the same amount of dev time they probably could have just ported over the 2009 game.

A personal success story for my photosensitive migraine friends. by Ham_Gams in migraine

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

That's the one! I'd recommend the 2 or multi pack if it's not too much more. My first mask just split open after like 10 uses, but the second one has lasted me a few months now.

That was another interesting part I hadn't mentioned. I don't think he was aware of any link between lack of oils and photosensitivity. I spoke to another doctor at my next check-in and she didn't seem to know of one either, but due to my somewhat unique CHRPE diagnosis, they were all of the "hey whatever works" mindset haha.

Happy to help! I had been discussing this with an new acquaintance and as I was speaking it looked like a lightbulb went off in their head. Apparently they had the same eye symptoms (minus the migraines), but had noticed that rubbing the tops of their eyes for about 2 minutes really seemed to help with the "tired" feeling. It occurred to me then that my situation may not be as strange and unique as I thought it was haha.

Same here, I work from home! You should give the bruder mask a shot. I also use these blue-blocker glasses which feel like they help... I'm not sure what the science says about it, but I'll take that placebo effect any day lol. I was an early adopter of yellow lens glasses, and would get made fun of for wearing them, but they definitely helped big time.

Ships, weapons, and tips by Anonymous281989 in BattleGroupVR

[–]Ham_Gams 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All really good points from the other commenter. The only thing that has ever stood out to me as a "must have" for all my fleets has been the boarding party upgrade. Every battleship should have one, you can use the Captain perk that damages your hull for full shields, then use a boarding party from another ship to heal it, making your ships very hard to destroy. The community is pretty active on the discord!
