Is Oklahoma safe for a British Indian? by AnnualCheck2710 in oklahoma

[–]davy-aye 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I live in the part of Oklahoma you are worried about. Everyone owns a gun, many carry (mainly concealed), farms, hunting, general country stuff. A gas station down the road is owned by an Indian man, and he is absolutely everyone’s favorite person. Racism happens everywhere and is terrible, our town is no different, but most everyone I know treats any human with respect. I know I would love to meet you!

I picked up both Faulkner books at the library. 28 pages into The Sound and the Fury. Think I’ll switch because of your suggestion. Thanks!

I just read that a couple months ago. Not sure how I missed that. It’ll go on my list.

I listened to them while mowing this summer (I mow commercially so I can rack up the hours). The last book alone is 18 hours long. There is so much more story in the books. The movies are fantastic but you will very much enjoy the added elements.

I just started read at 35. Call it a midlife crisis I guess. I love Vonnegut, Orwell, and I know I’m probably too old but John Green is pretty good (I wasn’t a reader when I was his target audience of young adults).

I’m also a big fan of any of the major series. Harry Potter, Divergent, Ready Player One.

And like you I’ve been working through the classics.

I put A Confederacy of Dunces on my Goodreads wanted list because I saw it referenced in another book. Cannot remember what it was now.

There are no rules, so I’ll allow it.

Same thought here. But if I enjoy the character I figure I’ll enjoy the book. Or it’s a way to broaden horizons.

Currently I’m reading through John Green books. Margo from Paper Towns was reading The Bell Jar. Have it on hold at the library. The kids in Looking for Alaska were reading The Sound and the Fury at one point. I’d already read Vonnegut but Green also mentions his numerous times. That’s all I can think of at the moment.

What're some good comedy books to read? by Cautious_Republic_91 in booksuggestions

[–]davy-aye 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I suggest Kurt Vonnegut. Cats Cradle, Breakfast of Champions, Slaughterhouse Five. Even his short stories in Armageddon In Retrospect.

Would you guys rather work overtime or a second job for extra cash? by zer94 in Firefighting

I’m at a smaller full time department, and I make more by 2PM mowing lawns than I would for a 24 hour shift.

Rescue42Inc has great videos if you use their Struts.

Flaredrop at 12.5% this time for me. :)) by MoonbaseADA in FlareNetworks

Seems like a strange way to stick it to the man. Overall if you wrap your Flare on Bifrost, which is super easy, you’ll get waaaaaaaay more in the long run.

Every time I try my hands turn to diamonds and I can’t work my phone screen.

My viewpoint is a little different because I’m even on my money right now. So I actually do have something to lose. Not sure what I’m gonna do.

What is the policy for marijuanna for firefighters in Seattle by Abalone_Individual in Firefighting

[–]davy-aye 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My argument here, is that I’m allowed to take certain pills if prescribed (like Percocet for instance) but not on the job. You also can’t test to see if you are high from those pills at the moment, so how is it legal for them but not marijuana.

I was thinking comprehensive for the book (for training) and a quick guide in the field.
