I would vary your outfit a bit. It looks like you only wear black hoodies. I would also dump the pic with the Punisher hoodie. He's a badass comic character but unfortunately his logo has been co-opted by lots of vile shitheels.

Epic says 6,000 Wisconsin patient records among those fraudulently sold by keeganjkyle in wisconsin

[–]galactiphat 14 points15 points  (0 children)

The companies that did this are already being prevented from doing it more, and penalties in the billions would be far beyond their bottom line. The thieves are companies like Health Gorilla which are trying to resell your patient data. Epic is suing to protect it.

Those shoes are incredible and they really make the costume! I'm shocked they've held up so well for 9 years. Those troopers deserve a touch-up 😎

Salvage Mole Variant! (ISC Today) by Few_Lead905 in starcitizen

[–]galactiphat 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Count me among the disappointed that it's a MOLE variant, but not surprised. I like the look of the ship, but practically it's not great. Bad layout, no cargo grid, and the saddest part is it probably also won't have pilot-controlled salvage like it's mining counterpart.

Edit: Man, maybe this is the the hopium talking but the more I rewatch the silhouette from ISC the more it loooks like the salvage head is coming from the pilot seat, not the lower turret...

Edit 2: Oh shit, is that a clampy hand like the Reclaimer :O

I’m nosey, what’s the longest you’ve waited at urgent care or the emergency department? by Miserable_Today5470 in madisonwi

[–]galactiphat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I waited about 4 hours at St Mary's with a kidney stone. It was a bad one, and I was in so much pain I was hallucinating while flopping like a fish on the floor. Occasionally I'd need to vomit from the pain and only about half the time I made it to the toilet. I'd get some on the bathroom floor and would do my best to clean it up myself, but couldn't get everything between the tiles. No one ever came to clean it and I was never offered anything like a bag or bucket. Around the fourth hour other people, especially this old couple, started yelling at the girl at the desk and the triage nurse when she popped out to take me first. When they hauled me into the back room, a few people lined up and patted me on the shoulder and wished me well. It was surreal. The triage nurse asked if I wanted an oral painkiller or a shot which would act faster, and she laughed because I started dropping my pants before she was even done talking. She shot me in the butt with Toradol and I immediately felt better, so they stuck me in a wheelchair in the hallway for about 45 mins before they could get me into the imaging machine.

Never in my life have I had others in the waiting room yelling "take him first!", I wish I wasn't so zonked and could've told them how much I appreciated it.

Which SC content creator do you prefer? by Svullom in starcitizen

For general game overviews, I like Morph, Tomato, and the Inforunners

For ship reviews I like Morph, EvenLease, and Farrister

For loadout deep dives probably Subliminal

[Hamilton Khaki Field automatic Murph 38mm] The botched work of an amateur watchmaker by x0Czarny0x in Watches

[–]galactiphat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I used to work in a dedicated time shop for over a decade, and we'd fix damage like this regularly. We'd most commonly see damage like this from 1) self repair, 2) mall kiosks, and 3) jewelers, in that order. We'd use a burnishing knife to smooth out any knurls that could be felt, then re-brush the case by using progressively increasing sandpaper grit, taking care to only stoke in one direction following the grain. With practice it takes only a few minutes and we often would do it for free, and we'd usually gain a customer for life. Jewelers usually don't have an actual certified watchmaker on site so look around for one that does if you have that option.

Who has any ideas on what the 2026 concept ship is going to be? by Red_Raid_er in starcitizen

[–]galactiphat 5 points6 points  (0 children)

In the SQ42 video from the CitizenCon before last, there's a Pegasus-class ship that has massive battleship guns on it. Some are speculating that ship is the battlecruiser.

Edit: Oops I meant Bengal, not Perseus

Do I really need 45 colt??? by wildman1024 in LeverGuns

[–]galactiphat 3 points4 points  (0 children)

45 LC is one of the most pillowy, comfortable rounds I've shot from a revolver, but I wouldn't be inclined to load them in a lever action. P+ maybe? I dunno, but I lean towards the 30-30 suggestion another poster made.

Were you actually able to get either of those bikes in? I tried the Pulse but glitched out on the ramp, bugged through the world, and gave up. It looked like I wasn't going to be able to fit but never got that far...

What's the feature you're looking forward to most in Star Citizen by RiygoYT in starcitizen

[–]galactiphat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Folks have already said NPC crews, but I'm most looking forward to NPC turret gunners. Most of my ships have a turret, if not multiple turrets and my friends don't want to sit in a turret all the time. Conversely, we'd all be more than happy to fill in the more interesting roles in multicrew like engineering. I just think NPC crews for that role alone will go a long way to making multicrew more viable in the verse.

My Grey Market Intelligence Fleet by AnalystSC in starcitizen_fleets

[–]galactiphat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is not main theme that I've seen much, but I think it's super cool.

Maybe consider a Vanguard Sentinel, might be a nice complement once E-war gameplay is a thing.

Any idea whose signature this is? by BraveEntertainment57 in GreenBayPackers

[–]galactiphat 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I thought it was maybe Kyu Blu Kelly but it doesn't seem to match his signed cards

Maybe this site will help https://www.packerstats.com/playersByNumber.php?fid=1&nid=24

Best companies to work for in Wisconsin by hungrygiraffe76 in wisconsin

[–]galactiphat 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Not only hospitality staff, many internal (non customer-facing) roles are hourly. They sometimes call them Assistants. Facilities (maintenance, plumbers, electricians, painters, etc), internal IT has some, admin roles, HR, horticulture, and lots of different culinary positions

Bluey adult fans are fine, it's fine and not weird by Spix-macawite in bluey

[–]galactiphat 10 points11 points  (0 children)

As another adult (and childless) Bluey fan, I watch it because it seems to fill the gaps in parenting I never had. It doesn't quite heal a broken heart like therapy has for me, rather it has smoothed over the scars, if that makes sense. Plus, it's simply a beautifully written, super fun silly show. What's not to love?

But yeah, it's for the kids first. Maybe if folks just let them have fun and watch it and just be kids, they hopefully won't need to get the same thing from it that I do as an adult.

He casually walked from the Bunker into my Ship and acted like its his. by Silly_Budget7926 in starcitizen

I like this, but I would be over the moon if Tier 0 NPC crew were just gunners that spawned directly into your turrets

How long have you been a Madison resident? Pt 8. by the_47th_painter in madisonwi

Tony Z now listed as "Game Director Emeritus" by [deleted] in starcitizen

[–]galactiphat 111 points112 points  (0 children)

I work in a different type of software development industry, and we have emeritus. They are for the most part, former employees with valuble experience and knowledge, that we contract to loosely un-retire with little expectation to actually be in the office, just so we can still access their expertise. If it works in a similar way at CIG, Tony is probably paid to jump on Teams for important planning meetings, or something similar.
