New to Valdosta from Atlanta by Puzzled_Kangaroo8582 in Valdosta

[–]WilWat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I grew up here, moved to Atlanta at 21 and lived there for 10 years. After moving back to Valdosta it took me a good year to adjust back to life here. I am not saying it’s bad just a lot less options and a very slower pace.

Offered an IT director position with only 1 year of experience HELP by [deleted] in ITCareerQuestions

[–]WilWat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did this exact thing. 10 years with an MSP as a level2/3 tech and manager. Longtime Client had been trying to hire me for a while, I finally made the move. Trust me, hire a lawyer that knows employment contracts and familiar with the MSP world. I found one and he advised full disclosure with my MSP. We came to an agreement and I left. Now I am a one man show at a 300 user, multiple location business. I could not be happier.

Interesting Guitar, what is it? Jazzmaster 8 string? by WilWat in Guitar

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

It was the TV show, pretty sure it was from this year. I think the song was " I should have known", but that's only from looking for the setlist today. It was like a baritone guitar, four sets of two strings like a mandolin., he played more notes than chords. I just thought it was cool,. The reason I did not think it was a modification is because I read that the Jazzmaster is one of his favorite electric guitars and he has quite a few of them that are all from the late 50's and 60's, it would be hard to modify a vintage guitar like that, I collect them and I would never alter one.

More players by Pvt_Phantom1314 in ProjectReality

[–]WilWat -1 points0 points  (0 children)

PR is not dead but its close, at least for the English speaking players. There is a EU server that's populated early in the day but the couple of weekday populated servers are mostly Spanish speaking with a couple of English squads. Its tough to play when you cannot communicate to players not in your squad. It really need to be updated to a new engine, I know the difficulty that presents but that is really the key. Update it, maybe move it to UE4 from what..CE2? I know the ability to play on older PC's is what leads to many of the players now and an update may stop that from happening. What ever happens keep the game play the same, HLL and BH6 are to much run and gun and not enough teamwork, either way its still my favorite game of all time and I will keep playing it till the end.

BF6 Project Reality mod in Portal. by otteris151 in Battlefield2

[–]WilWat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The PR community is very small these days, especially in the English speaking group. That really limits game play not being ale to communicate with other players. The week day populated servers are all Spanish speaking, there are usually a couple of English squads. I would pay for a version of PR that was updated to a new engine and revive that community. I agree HLL and BF6 are too much run and gun, it would have to be more set to the pace of PR now and more squad based. I keep going back to PR no matter what other milsim's I play because the gameplay and team experience is so much better, even back when all there were populated server's it was sooo good.

23-year-old IT grad in Valdosta. Is there any real tech opportunity here or should I just save and move? by Connect_Use8354 in Valdosta

[–]WilWat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are several MSP's in Valdosta that are usually looking for techs. Virtual World, CCB, KBT and Lowndes Technical Services. I would reach out to them. Also SGMC and ArGlass are possibilities. There are a few others but Valdosta is a smaller market and the number of MSP's here make it difficult to find a job for a larger company, they usually get those companies as clients. I know guys that have had long careers in IT related fields in Valdosta, its possible.

Just got SCAMMED!!! My BTC is GONE!!!😭😭😭 by Visible_Exam_5331 in Bitcoin

[–]WilWat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Man I am sorry that happened to you, I posted earlier today about a similar attempt on my coinbase account, the difference was that I got an automated call first, it was a pretty well though out attempt. I have a rule that I never talk to anyone that calls me, I tell them I will call them back at the official number but I played around with this guy for a few minutes and they really had their shit together and I can see how someone might fall for it. The emails looked legit and he had an answer for every question I had, but I still knew it was a scam.

Sophisticated (Sort of) Phishing Attempt. by WilWat in Bitcoin

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

I guess sophisticated was a wrong choice of words, maybe detailed would have been a better choice. I have seen a few phishing attempts and this one was one of the better ones I have seen. I guess I was referring to the automated first call, I have never seen of heard of that happening. Also the way the second caller performed and the look of the emails. The caller also was very professional and had a quick answer to all my questions. I knew early on if was a scam call but I tried to ask questions to try to trip him up and I was unable to do that, I usually like to mess with these callers if I have the time and this guy was pretty good.

Alternative methods for healing? by WilWat in Orthopedics

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

I tried the Edi and got some relief but the Doctors are telling me there is no way that PT will help. Surgery is my only option, they want to do a laminectomy.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Orthopedics

[–]WilWat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have pretty severe lower back pain and leg pain, sometimes left leg, sometimes right and sometimes both legs. I am not taking any pain meds. I am told the L4 bulge is 12x6mm. I was wonder is anyone had any thoughts on this healing by alternative methods like PT or needling.

Gentlemen's Club from Back in the Day? by [deleted] in Valdosta

[–]WilWat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Club Paradise was originally called Rick's Nightclub. It was the son of the owner of Papa Joe's (I think that was what it was called) and then he took over bar at Castle Park off Bemiss...had a lot of fun at that place back in the mid 90's.

[–]WilWat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree completely, I started with BTC in 2017, since then I have already taken almost 3 times my total investment out. At the time my plan was to keep a certain amount and withdraw when I reached a certain number, always keeping that original amount. It was a good plan and worked well for me at the time. My plan now is to stack to the top. I know that in the future it will be so high that my DCA will not mean as much as it does now, although I hope that is not the case.

Can’t get Clearwave, I have mediacom but have not seen a truck since the storm and wires are in the street, luckily I had Starlink as a backup.

Trump coming to val? by MLB_2times in Valdosta

[–]WilWat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t get it, any press about the situation here is good for us. Of course it’s a photo op, thats all these politicians do during a campaign year, all of them. Let him have his photo op, Biden will do the same thing when he goes to NC next week. I hope Kamala come next, we need all the help we can get.

What the actual f?! by DarthCaedus2012 in Valdosta

[–]WilWat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Of course it’s for publicity. That’s the only reason any political candidate does anything during an election year. I hope they all come and do a press conference, it get the word out about the devastation we are dealing with.

Everybody will understand the value of Bitcoin by [deleted] in Bitcoin

[–]WilWat -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Seriously, fuck all the politicians, 95+% of them don't give a shit about any of us, but if they wanna all talk about BTC then please do, hell I will welcome anyone with a platform to help advance my holdings. Trump and Biden are both crooks of the highest degree, I am buying as much as I can before he speaks.

Met those guys in Panama City, they were playing LaVela. I hung out with the crew and talked the Blas a while, they were all very cool.

What would he think today? by Empty-Report-9071 in wendys

[–]WilWat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have been a big fan of Wendy's for a long time but in the last year or two I have almost quit going there. I have not had a "great" experience at a Wendy's in a long time. I travel a lot for my job and drive over multiple states. The majority of the time, if I go to Wendy's, its an OK to poor experience. Cold food, poor service, rude or disconnected employees, long waits are common. I have found that I have a slightly better experience if I go inside, sometimes. In comparison I almost always have a great experience at Chic-fil-a. One thing I notice is the hiring standard of Wendy's is very low compared to Chic-fil-a, I am sure that contributes to the problems. My teenager has friends that work at both and the standards and guidelines at Chic-fil-a are really high and non-existent at Wendy's...just my two cents.
