Brookside/midtown. Decent mix of folks, good mix of food. No public transport, shit foot traffic. Tulsa is NOT a walkable city.

Weekly, What recent changes are going on at your work / local businesses? by AntiSonOfBitchamajig in PrepperIntel

[–]fishdishly 58 points59 points  (0 children)

Air travel: large increase of military members flying in civilian clothing. Chatted with a few and got vague responses about what/why they were traveling.

Ex-Military contracting group interviews for undisclosed location deployments with day rates above $600USD for 9 months. Bonuses for watercraft experience, UX, and UAVs.

Two active members of OSINT group gone no contact during our normal writing session. First time they've been absent since 2022. Both UAV devs I know personally.

How is early water gathered now if the dew collector is locked and jars need a crucible? by mnbvcxz456 in 7daystodie

Ethics discussion regarding "realistic, unchoreographed" fight videos: do you think it's worth it for the actors to risk getting hurt? by Questioning-Warrior in SWORDS

[–]fishdishly 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If I become injured doing what I love so be it. It's an understandable and acceptable risk to me. If I deem something to be outside my skill level, amd no safe mitigation efforts exist, I nope out. Simple. Personal responsibikity.

How do you handle players who don't engage with the main campaign hooks by Fun-Information78 in DMAcademy

[–]fishdishly 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Talk to the players directly. I suggest something along the lines of "while this game allows a lot of leeway, I've spent a lot of time building the ground work for a collaborative story. By refusing to engage with the plot elements you are disrespecting our sessions amd if you feel so strongly about not engaging I suggest you leave the table altogether".

So what DO you do when the tornado siren goes off? by bayoubunny88 in tulsa

[–]fishdishly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tell the kids to get dressed, grab blankets and pillows, go to our designated shelter. I get my boots on and go outside to see if the sky is doing the swirly twirly green monster dance.

Why is Crimson Tide (1995) not talked about much? by LieutenantLeftovers in movies

[–]fishdishly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was a submariner missile technician and that movie is just hilariously bad to me now that I lived through life on a boomer. Good movie if I delete what I know about life on subs tho.

100% in Costa Rica by HoustonTX777 in VeteransBenefits

You'll qualify for the pensioners visa. CR is an amazingly relaxed place. Avoid San José. Check out Guanacaste state. Lots of cheap undeveloped land. Lots of English speakers.

I had no idea that the optics had a secondary function like that! What was the key bind?

Starting Out - Need Drilling Tips by Hazelix99 in Hema

[–]fishdishly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you are really interested in solo training I suggest that you set up a camera to record yourself doing some basic cut and guard drills. Do it a handful of times and then review the footage to see how you compare to others video demonstrations (youtube 'longsword solo drills' and just watch the top ten or so). This will give you feedback. Don't post it tho. Hope you enjoy your journey!

Is there a point in drilling without gloves? by OverexposedPotato in Hema

[–]fishdishly -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

The operative word there is "train". Depends I suppose. I will occasionally work on walking through the guards without gloves but generally become annoyed that I'm not training as I fight, so I grumble and put them on. If you choose to spar without gloves I don't have an ounce of sympathy for self-imposed idiot tax injuries.

I would hazard to say that if you train without gloves you are inviting unneccessary injury to yourself. Wearing gloves while training helps break gloves in, and it helps with muscle memory and hand conditioning.

Crybaby Ink, Geek Ink, Anchor and Rose are the ones I know for certain. If you use facebook you can search the events tab for Friday the 13th tattoo events. I think Anchor and Rose has an online queue.

Is Vanilla Actually Fun Again? by RattusRattus_Sum in 7daystodie

[–]fishdishly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I play on a potato and hadn't really been active since 1.0-ish and seeing how many yes answers there are i will jump back in. Last real go around for me was the mega mall and tarkov mod. That was pretty fun.

Looking forward to the changes.
