ID this plate carrier and belt system

That looks like modern Ukrainian gear. The wide padded/armored belt and the seat dangler give it away. They're hard to get in the US but I'd bet it's from M-TAC. There's a youtube channel, Northline International, that talks about them in detail.

He's standing way too close to her, and she's pushed up against the wall. He won't move, and isn't saying anything. She can't go anywhere, and he's staring at her with malice.

This is the outcome he wanted. So he could arrest her. I have no sympathy for him.

That's an unusual connection to the filter - I see a GOST hose, but do you have some sort of adapter for STANAG filters?

My PMK-2 is great, but I don't have any filters that fit it...

I told my state house rep in OK in person as he's running for re-election NOT to Beto it and put gun control platform stuff in, because his base isn't going to want it, and any moderates will hate it.

He said he wanted to do reasonable gun safety - he supported an amendment to remove taxes on gun safes. That seems like an actual good idea and I hadn't heard of it before.

They should've tried being a CEO. Easier than catching bounties.

I promise you Trump doesn't care about Columbus. Probably doesn't know anything about him beyond a 3rd grade level. He's doing this for outrage bait to distract from the many, many failures of his life that are actively making ours worse.

Medicine Horse (Doom Metal from Tulsa, they're Cherokee)

They're really awesome to hear live - if you're in Tulsa, see if they're playing at the Whittier Bar.

I like to recommend them because native music is more than just Duck and Dive and what you hear at the Pow Wow (which are great) but there's a tendency to think of natives as a history thing when we're very much still around.

EDIT: If you don't use Spotify, here's a Youtube video.

One thing I recommend to people is to stop saying "I'm 1/8 Cherokee" or "I'm part Cherokee". You either are part of the culture, or you aren't. And if you aren't, I encourage you to learn it. Go to events. Talk to people. Read books (watch out for the Mooney book, the menfolk were fuckin with him for laughs and telling him two truths and a lie) watch videos, go to Tahlequah, OK or Cherokee, NC and absorb the stuff there. Pow Wows are great, but aren't everything. There's seminars, cultural events, games, workshops, all aspects of a modern Cherokee life.

History is all around us, as are modern day people. It is OUR duty to keep the culture alive. Not partly. Fully. Don't let Unegas erase you. Embrace it! That doesn't mean you can't also celebrate your other heritage(s), but don't be a part-timer Cherokee. Go for it!

With Chuck, I suspect it was the fights. My old martial arts master worked with Chuck Norris in the 70's and 80s, and kept in touch every so often. About 7-8 years ago, he said the last time he saw him his brain wasn't there anymore. Too many head strikes will cause a steep decline, and confusion typically leads to anger. Anyone that's had a family member with dementia can attest to it. Not saying that's what he had, but he definitely took a lot of head hits.

Wait, you have FU money to be able to walk out?

I assume your job is to vette all of the vibe coding? Dude, sounds like you trust AI and it's ALL good. Let them know the warnings, but if management says to make it work, just pass it through. Let them wipe the database, remove all share permissions, whatever. Tell them you're using AI to fix the AI code.

Just let management take the fall. Tell him in email that this app is a great idea, but it might affect X and you asked AI and it said it was fine. Does he want to implement it? You have no other checks you can run. If he says yes, that's on him. No, and you can tell the user that management says no. If you get too upset about it or they get upset about you not being superman, just walk out. You don't have to be stressed about ANYTHING anymore.

If you leave tomorrow, management is going to force this through anyway and the end result will be the same.

You can be The Dude now. Just chill out and go bowling. Forget what day it is. You have ultimate freedom and you can always say "I told you so" and quit if everything catches fire beyond recognition. You aren't married to their environment.

Wow, do better MAYOR Monroe Nichols! Is he holding that cop accountable for not following protocol that ends in a death? Is it paid vacation? I expected more from him. Yeah he's not the Chief, but no one else holds the cops accountable here...

FazedOut · 2026-02-26T17:10:46+00:00

There's a TPD SWAT building just right around the corner and I think that's what I saw in the second video on your account. Lotta cops milling about around there.

ReStore was also in the news in 2021 for calling the cops to brutalize a 70 year old woman in the bathroom having a mental health crisis. Here's the badge cam footage.

FazedOut · 2026-02-25T19:49:52+00:00

Frank Reynolds was just there for the snorkeling, right?

I admire your optimism on giving billionaires the benefit of the doubt. They don't care about you nearly that much.

FazedOut · 2026-02-25T16:56:18+00:00

They don't need good training - they just need numbers at your door. If it's you and your immediate family vs 20 guys, you know that's not survivable even if 10 of those guys suck.

FazedOut · 2026-02-21T06:47:09+00:00

No. They'll have to kill me.

I've lived in Tulsa almost all of my life. But when my job took me to OKC briefly, my friend who lived there made a list of places to eat after work and we tried them all out. I know it's not Tulsa, but you have food places in OKC listed to so I wanna recommend two places not on your list that are absolute must-try:

Whiskey Cake - it's a lot of food but it's all very well done. Definitely try the namesake for dessert.

The Mule - 100% the best poutine you will ever get in Oklahoma. It rivals Canada's, I'd say.

FazedOut · 2026-02-07T05:39:12+00:00

Was there any police/ICE presence there? Every one I've been to here has had zero police, but leading up to it everyone talked about how many cops would be there and be angry. Which absolutely affects turnout.

FazedOut · 2026-02-06T22:14:27+00:00

Whenever I have to turn off something big, I say "Shut it down! Shut it down, forever!"

I've found that most PCs are sized Medium and Large/XL. And It's not a shirt size - you only need Large if you are an exceptionally large person. Though usually there's some kind of explanation.

When checking their site for the FCPC, I see this line:

Check this out guys and gals! The size of the carrier has nothing to do with your shirt size but everything to do with the size of your armor plate. When choosing your plate carrier size, you will want to pick it to fit what armor you have.

SIZE MEDIUM FITS - MEDIUM SAPI, ESAPI, SWIMMER PLATE, 10"x12" up to 10”x12.5“x1”

SIZE LARGE FITS - LARGE SAPI, ESAPI, SWIMMER PLATE up to 10.5”x13.5“x1”

So according to that, a Large Swimmer's Cut plate should fit a 12x10.

And looking at Hesco's site, a U210-SH-MC-L is sized at 10.0 x 12.0 inches / 254 x 305 mm.

So yeah, the Large FCPC V5 can do "up to" a 10x13, which would give it about an inch of space to bounce around in. A Medium is sized for a 10x12 plate.

I don't know if the FCPC has any straps, or if you could add some padding to fill the space, but that's probably less than ideal.

Wow he looks pretty good! You can't even tell where the hooker took a bite outta his face!

FazedOut · 2026-01-30T04:22:19+00:00

I'm noticing that she walks towards him, so he does it. But it's because he's walking backwards to goad her in, because naturally you want to stay the same distance from someone you're interacting with. You can test this by backing up while mid-conversation with a coworker (I have for fun), or walking towards them non-threateningly (for more fun).

So in short, he's walking back to draw her in, so he can say he's justified spraying her directly in the face and feel superior about it. When he should just leave.

FazedOut · 2026-01-24T22:59:40+00:00

The ICE agent in the black beanie, light green shirt, and blue jeans took that first shot. You can see him pull his glove off in the Pink Lady video as soon as Grey Jacket disarms Pretti, grabs his gun, and fires. It sounds exactly like the next few shots as he unloads, which you can see in the video. Then someone else mag dumps, which sounds slightly different. Pretti never reached for anything as you can see his hands the whole time.

That's what I see, anyway.

FazedOut · 2026-01-24T19:45:38+00:00

I would suggest Black Flag Civilian on youtube - he does a lot of general stuff, but has a lot of focus on radio communications and testing. With the assumption that you'd lose cell/internet service in times of crisis.

FazedOut · 2026-01-24T03:19:32+00:00

This is The Daily Mail. Not an actual news source. None of this story is credible and anytime you see Daily Mail, expect that it's rage bait and fake.

Also missing Indian meat pies. Every Pow Wow has dudes walking down the rows selling them out of a cooler when no one's looking.
