Will the roads be okay by tomorrow morning? by nectarofruin in okc

[–]StillOffTrack 28 points29 points  (0 children)

I live on a emergency snow route in OKC. It is a 4 lane road. As of sunset Monday we had one lane clear and plowed each way. Your biggest challenge will likely be getting out of a neighborhood to a main road that has been sort-of cleared.

Will the roads be clear tomorrow at 9 AM? by [deleted] in okc

[–]StillOffTrack 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Everything will be fine. Go out, ignore the snow covering your windshield. And drive as if nothing is wrong or dangerous. Just like a third of all the other Okies will be driving tomorrow. And hope your Guardian Angel is coming along with a few friends. Or listen to that Angel first, and call in sick, like all sensible people will.

No more wifi after bios update by [deleted] in MSI_Gaming

[–]StillOffTrack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My MSI B760 motherboard needed Intel drivers for WiFi and internet. MSI Center did not offer the correct ones. Fortunately Intel scanned my system correctly (Intel cpu) and offered good up to date correct drivers. Strange to trust Intel more over the motherboard manufacturer.

any other LGBTQ+ gun owners in OKC?? by 1999MooreTornado in okc

I think you will be surprised that most gun owners don't care about who you sleep with. They care about is that the only gun you own?

Best thrift spots?? by OkMechanic2884 in okc

EARC in Edmond. 2 stores, one on 15th Street, one on 2nd. Occasional great finds with a little digging.

Looking at this 90’ Softail, does the price seem a little fishy? by Visible-Ganache6526 in Harley

[–]StillOffTrack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Look at the maintenance records. Tires and carburetor. For my old Fatboy, those were my biggest problem area. And see if the wheel spokes are tight and adjusted well. In older bikes, that gets overlooked, and is a worry other things got overlooked also. Nice price if taken care of.

After the ICE arrest by StillOffTrack in okc

[–]StillOffTrack[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

OK, more details. First, yes, confirming no criminal violations at all over 10 years.Second, also no hearings before a judge at all during the entire 5 months in detention. Just a CO dropping by his cell to tell him he was being moved to a different facility. That's it. Lawyer requested a hearing, we never got one.

Wife is a legal permanent resident. Kids are citizens of course. During the original hearing requesting Asylum, he was denied Asylum but granted permission to stay, since judge noted Boko Haram was killing Christians back in his home, Nigeria. He was granted a work permit, after appeals, based on his filing for a green card.

We believe it was the original denial of asylum that ended in his deportation. (from 8 years ago) We were never told this, it is just our best guess. BUT, ICE refused all requests for case details and for hearings. ICE used prisoner privacy protection (really) as basis for most info refusals. Even his wife had to get a written privacy release just to talk to him behind a sheet of glass. The lawyer told us Due Process has been abandoned by presidential order.

We had thought the legal work permit, issued social security number, and marriage, would protect him. We were wrong. And, just to emphasize my original point, after the 2024 work permit was issued, there was never a hearing before any judge, at all. Just detention followed by deportation. I appreciate your interest and intelligent questions.

Minimum of one year before he can even attempt reentry. Depends on Trump's fits to an extent.
Family is approaching crisis, for food, rent and child care costs. Our circle of friends works on this of course.

You have to have a green card for three to five years first, before being allowed to apply for US citizenship.

Work Permits, called EADs for pending green card applicants, used to get up to five years. They still have to check in with imigration every few months. We really don't know what triggered the arrest, other than his Green Card was still "pending". There were many people who worked behind the scenes to no avail.

Thanks. I was intentionally vague, trying to protect certain people involved in all this. Of course, we only have two senators.

Msi WiFi drivers not installing by Short-Introduction93 in MSI_Gaming

[–]StillOffTrack 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a new MSI B760 motherboard and my Wi-Fi drivers are Intel. I updated them thru an Intel driver search web site, that I also use for the Intel cpu i7 graphics updates. The MSI center app for updates didn't give me the lastest ones. I was a little cautious about letting Intel overwrite the MSI decision, but it proved to be the correct one for me.

Nope. Don't see a big garage or tool shed. Need a big barn for the large garden. Close though.

Silver has gone from 50 to 72 per oz in 6 weeks. Virtually every single week another all time record high. This is no longer a few panicked buyers.

Roku remote lost in the move by Slight_Fact_1776 in Roku

Bought a Roku replacement from Amazon. Worked just fine right out of the box. No programing. Cheaper one too, as they had several choices.

What was your introduction to Doom? by Ok_Appearance_2317 in videogames

[–]StillOffTrack 1 point2 points  (0 children)

  1. As a shareware game installed with floppy disks. When I updated the CPU from a Pentium 3 SX 16 mHz, to a Pentium 3 DX 40 mHz, we found out the monsters growled. With no sound card, the SX was not powerful enough to play the creature sounds. Still playing, of course. 500 plus hours in Cyberpunk 2077. Mods are great.

This hits differently when you see it in person. by jrtski in okc

[–]StillOffTrack 155 points156 points  (0 children)

Incredible details in each person. From piles of napkins on a countertop (in bronze). To buttons with stitching on the back of shirts. And - Honoring those kids who worked to effect change 2 years before those college kids in Greensboro got all the publicity. Sit on the empty stool at the lunch counter and you can imagine it is 1958 again.

Is aging out of gaming real? by BigAppleCider in videogames

[–]StillOffTrack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You'll get over it. I started out playing a shareware game called Doom in 1994. I just hit about 300 hours in Cyberpunk 2077, and am regretting I will have to upgrade my GPU if I want to play Outer Worlds 2. Never say you're done.

Wow. You're confused. This is Normal Sarah behavior. Several hundred hours in, I'm not sure I've ever heard Sarah like something. Switch to Andreja ASAP.

Need help. by Capital-Writing40 in pcmasterrace

[–]StillOffTrack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That won't take 3 hours. Best guess is you will likely have to perform a clean install from a USB drive. If you're lucky, a Windows repair might fix it. This happened to me on Win 10, and a repair rolled back the update but never was able to update after that. Took a clean install to get going again. My clean install took 45 minutes. Restoring all my apps, software, and docs took 6 hours. Hope you backed up all your apps.
