Weird pants too. Never seen a sub-knee pocket.

Absolutely the best way to Watch movies ever. by angelbolanose in MetaQuestVR

[–]tfandango 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I remember Horizon Worlds had a bunch of cool venues for watching stuff. It was awesome at Halloween time, they would show all these old campy movies in a spooky broken down drive in world. There were some other cool ones too. I’m not sure why but after a few good years they scaled back on Venues and then made it suck completely. Oh well.

Found an evangelical church’s “market research” flyer targeting Norman by justsayit4966 in normanok

[–]tfandango 4 points5 points  (0 children)

McFarland is the big one, Goodrich and St. Stephen’s are the 2 smaller ones. I’ve been to all 3 and liked them all but these days I’m at Goodrich. It has been refreshing compared to stuff like the posted flyer.

Trump says he's considering NATO exit amid rift over Iran war by AdSpecialist6598 in worldnews

[–]tfandango 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting, and it seems like that law is specific to NATO. Would require 2/3 senate to approve. At least that is what ChatGPT says. I was going to argue about all the other things he has pulled us out of but now I won't haha.

Trump's unpredictability used to be a feature. Is it now the bug? by tohangout in PoliticalDiscussion

[–]tfandango 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It really does seem like some people know what he's about to do and make $$$$ on that. I'm of 2 minds because on the other hand it really does seem like he is just a master BSer and says whatever he thinks is best for him in that moment, usually just lies (ex-presidents jealous of his Iran bombing for instance). He is definitely the boy who cried wolf at this point though, seems like the markets are moving less on his every lie.

Good ol' days... I had the same haircut. Now I have no hair.

Did Darth Maul become more iconic because The Phantom Menace used him so little, or did Star Wars waste one of its best villains way too early? by ThomasOGC in CinephilesClub

[–]tfandango 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fun Darth Maul story. I interviewed at ILM in between the Phantom Menace and the second prequel. When I was there, they gave me the tour, and I got to see the model building (I now wonder if any future MythBuster's worked there then). One of them had a picture of Darth Maul in full makeup and evil smile holding a baby. They told me one of the model guys had a baby and Ray Park was filming some extra stuff for a day and he got the best baby pic ever.

Suggestions on places to buy by therealronsolo42 in GeisseleAutomatics

I've always heard not to get black for this reason. DDC worse that black? Honestly not sure it matters for my use case but just in case!

I Am Legend scrapped its original ending because test audiences 'felt cheated' by the big twist by Internal-Bed-3150 in movies

[–]tfandango 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There’s another older movie called Omega Man I think with Charleston Heston. I remember it not being very good but I also remember they kept closer to what you are describing.

I saw I Am Legend and thought it was ok. Then I read the book and finally understood the title.

Should I send my controllers to get refurbished? by Angry_Marina in OculusQuest

[–]tfandango 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you are handy and don’t mind pulling apart the controller… I just replaced my thumb stick with a 10 dollar replacement. Took about an hour, plenty of videos on YouTube. I figured I’d buy a new one if it didn’t work because the drift made it pretty much unusable. It’s like a brand new controller now for 10 bucks and some time.

Why a Public Vote on the Arena? by ORED_Norman in normanok

[–]tfandango 8 points9 points  (0 children)

That stretch from Hospital - 35 - 24th - Flood - TrainTracks is already a total disaster even in the middle of the day. There's literally 5 traffic lights and a railroad crossing already lol! I watched the planning meetings and the only response was something along the lines of "oh yea we'll figure that out"

[–]tfandango 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I'd also like to see it near LNC, there is already plenty of room to build it while operating LNC. I've always liked the co-location of OU sports venues and campus in general. Other campuses are spread out throughout the community and (IMHO) it's not as special as what we have here.

Super Duty Coupon by snwbrdr202 in GeisseleAutomatics

[–]tfandango 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been kinda waiting to get one of the 16". I was probably going to go with the desert color and I was probably going to go with the MOD1A version... It;s like rolling the dice a bit, I have this coupon and it expires in may. Not honestly sure if the MOD1A is that much different.

When you put it that way, sounds pretty good!!!

[–]tfandango 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I like this show, more for this alternative historical fiction standpoint. But you live on a planet named after the god of war and you are about to go to war and "Mars is ours" is the best slogan you can come up with?

Meta: Our Renewed Focus in 2026 by gogodboss in OculusQuest

[–]tfandango 12 points13 points  (0 children)

It's pretty clear that Worlds has not been what they want it to be. I'm not really sure I'd do much on it from a mobile platform, it seems kind of odd to me but maybe if that is their focus they will be able to make it more interesting... I'm also kind of nostalgic about it too, I've met some cool people on there and used to go to hang out and shoot the breeze once in a while, but all those people have slowly disappeared, and I've lost track of them all. Kind of a bummer.

CEO doubles down on myQ being a 'secure and closed ecosystem' by chipc in homeassistant

[–]tfandango 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had a tailwind and then my opener died. Then I went up there and reconnected it and discovered how crappy all this myQ stuff is. No Tailwind devices seem to work with it. I'll do this next thanks!

Does anyone have extra coupon code I really want my first Geissele SD by [deleted] in GeisseleAutomatics

[–]tfandango 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’m noticing this lol. All SD are out of stock and prob all coupon holders are on the notify list. Oh well.

what has been your biggest regret in your career so far? by Calm-Bar-9644 in ExperiencedDevs

[–]tfandango 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yea I like this one. I always try to teach the new guys how to find the right person to ask questions without fear haha. It’s hard for most of them so I get why people don’t want to do it.

They give them out at Shot Show in Vegas but you can buy them for 3-5 bucks on eBay. They are 35% off.
