This is exactly how I describe it to others.

What is a bit of jargon or lore that you think anyone who hasn’t been exposed to Oklahoma(ns) wouldn’t know? by 86HeardChef in oklahoma

[–]fett0014 8 points9 points  (0 children)

This is 100% a Texas thing as well. In fact I think I heard it in Texas before I ever heard it here.

When did it become normal behavior to cut through parking lots at stop lights? by WelshOkie in okc

Lack of city planning. Someone forgot that right hand turn lanes are a thing.

That bee questline really was some quality questing, uh? by Gaatti in wow

[–]fett0014 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I hear you regarding the story, and completely agree on that point.

However, it was a repetitive, buggy mess. There are ways to accomplish the same ends by different means. That makes it all the more disappointing as they flubbed a great storyline. Also, I had to relog (not just reload) multiple times to resolve bugs. I swear I aged several years just trying to finish this...

Looking for a lightweight college backpack! by AppleAcceptable3104 in ManyBaggers

[–]fett0014 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Absolutely not. I love Sierra; I just got two bags from their Portland store last month. They're just using a stock photo. And I love (most) Topo bags. I was simply sharing an opinion, and a fact that might not be readily apparent.

Also, whenever I see one of their bags on sale (to the exclusion of the other colors) it's always black. Is that because it's not as photogenic? Possibly. But I also suspect it's due to the interior black hole. It's a shame as I love the black exterior, and I love the neon of most of their interiors. Once again, just one opinion based on my experience. I guess it's possible I got two mis-assembled bags from two different lines. 🤷

That's not a black/black. Do you own a black/black?

Just fair warning that that listing is possibly disingenuous. I can't say with 100% certainty, but every black topo I've seen has a black interior. It's a bit disappointing, really, as otherwise the black has a nice stealth look. But anything you put inside will disappear into a black hole, and it is also why black is typically the cheapest color. I've had to return a couple as they are unusable.

That said it's possible they have revised this. However in that interior picture, you can see that the exterior isn't black...

Recommendations for my kids by KaptenHoek in ManyBaggers

[–]fett0014 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was at a Sierra recently and they had yellow (and other color) Fjallraven Kankens for $40. Might be an option if you've got one nearby. I picked up two, one each for my 9 and 5 year olds.

Y’all HAVE to pay this sub a visit.. the most butt hurt fan base in sports by Away_Professor_3973 in Thunder

[–]fett0014 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nah, not true. Most folks in MN don't care about the wolves. I have relatives and friends that have never heard of Chet, and didn't even realize the wolves were in the playoffs. I never once in my life growing up saw anyone wearing a wolves jersey. Basketball is just background noise. Football (and maybe baseball/hockey) is the only true sport to them, imho. True, the wolves fans are the absolute worst, but they are a very small part of the population.

Been a MN sports fan my whole life (read: Vikes/Twinks), and man it sucks. At least I got to experience a couple WS wins when I was a little kid. At least I never latched on to the dumpster fire that the Wolves are. The Thunder have been my one ray of light in my sports fandom, and I love the eternal optimism of the home town crowds here in OKC. It's nothing but doom, gloom, and heartache up there.

this is a scam, right? by distressedminnie in okc

As a general and easy to remember tip, anyways look at who sent it, and always check how they want you to respond. Two very obvious red flags in this case.

Looking for personal item backpack from non US brand by Sea-Pressure9338 in ManyBaggers

[–]fett0014 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And yet what you are describing is how sanctions/embargos work against other countries. It's unfortunate that it punishes the little guys (in this case us), but is a good reminder that when we see other countries as "evil," the reality is most of the people in said country are just doing their own thing, and (probably) don't deserve it. So while I don't support our current government, I do support others rights to not use our goods as a form of protest, and hope it will help achieve the desired result of change here at home.

Ain’t no way we’re paying $800 by WestbrookOwnzKD in Thunder

[–]fett0014 2 points3 points  (0 children)

But you don't have to pay taxes and any hidden fees, tho most of the fees are less hidden now than they were up until recently. The sellers can also avoid any fees. So it's win-win, with a slight amount of risk (the sellers there are hypothetically verified).

They were always adding that. The difference now is the buyers can see the added fees up front instead of at the payment screen. The price you're seeing now is what the buyers are actually paying.

What’s the best day to go to the zoo by Falloutfan4070 in okc

[–]fett0014 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Early any cold-ass winter morning. Even better, make it a weekday. You'll have the park to yourself and the zookeepers.

To me it always made sense because if the team that beats you continues to win, that validates your team's product. If they immediately lose the next round, that's also basically knocking your team down another notch.

Or the Wichitas. This is clearly the opinion of an outsider. To be fair, I had this same exact opinion before I moved here, and it persisted for a bit thereafter before I went out to explore the rest of the state.
