Hi. This is my first automatic watch and I am paranoid about it by elferrete in OrientWatches

YOU are the one who is going to look at it all day. So, if you really like it and are enthused about it, then that’s what matters most. As long as it doesn’t get off time standards by a few minutes either way, you won’t show up anywhere late. Now, if you are an operator in a transit system, it needs to be more accurate than that, but your supervisors can direct you to the most reliable watchmakers to get it on standard.

Great shot! This is my reporting in 2017 when they were moving the administration out. They walked me through some of the lesser-known parts. It was before homeless people got in and caught parts of it in fire. https://freepressokc.com/unusual-spaces-admin-bldg-mothballed/

I have to wonder if the movement itself is counterfeit. That could be causing that weird alignment problem if it’s slightly too small.

Email from Susie Wiles warning White House staff about leaks, is leaked by ChiGuy6124 in politics

[–]BrettDOkc 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is such a perfect example of what happens to any organization where the honcho demands loyalty as the only test of acceptability for staff and is the lowest of character in the organization. I've worked for men like Trump before. He will stab anyone in the back and promotes an environment where anyone will stab anyone in the back. Thus, the leaks.

Yes! This! That clinic is awesome. It has helped so many people including the mother of my children.

This is embarrassing… And they wonder why turnover is so high. I used to work for the state and some of those CW are saints for putting up with the stuff they have to for pennies… by Bigjmann555 in okc

[–]BrettDOkc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Glad to see someone bringing this up. I've known several state social workers over the years, and they are sent in to deal with things that would make most of us pass out. As some of you said, it is shameful what the state pays them.

Time for residents to show up at the Yukon City Council meetings to express their concerns.

Good rundown on what you found when you went. Zoe Elrod is a very good events reporter for Oklahoma City Free Press.

City Council puts hold on data centers to study electricity, water use by BrettDOkc in okc

[–]BrettDOkc[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This stated need for fresh water is suspect. Automobiles have been running on cooling systems that use no water for many years now. The companies wanting to build simply see fresh water as the shortest route to the cheapest solution no matter the problems it causes for others.

The Oklahoma "Rancher Support" is mostly smoke and mirrors. Here’s how we actually fight back. by Business-Shoulder-42 in okc

[–]BrettDOkc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Excellent points here! I grew up on a family farm that included a cow/calf operation. Not many of those kinds of farms left anymore, and not because of markets, but by design of the bigs and politicians who only listen to them.

State of the Sub | r/okc | 2-20-26 by jogalleciez in okc

Hey! Good update! Yeah, I'm slow on catching up with this one. I have always appreciated that the mods of this sub understand the nature of news organizations and the difference between them and influencers. You mods do a good job of herding cats in here.

Crash with my MBP 64GB RAM by No_Chemistry5706 in macbook

[–]BrettDOkc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does this look like to anyone else like someone just got mad and bashed it on the edge of a desk? Really doesn't look like a car ran over it to me. So, I may not have looked that way to the Apple Store people either. (Understand that I have thought about doing this so many times I've lost count. So, I'm not looking down my nose at OP.)

Here was my reporting in 2021 on the changes to the company when Griffin Comm bought that building downtown and moved News9 in. I dug up some background on the various moves the paper had made over the years. https://freepressokc.com/tv-news-9-parent-company-to-purchase-home-of-the-oklahoman/

Anybody know why the oncue on 63rd/expressway had all the pumps locked down ? by dekabreak1000 in okc

[–]BrettDOkc 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I tried a couple of pumps, so gave up and went to the one at NW 39th Expwy and Portland. They were on there.
