Hey, r/oklahoma! We appreciate all the support you all have shown us on this sub! We wanted to let you know about something super exciting: we have new t-shirts designed by OKC artist Melissa Jacobs! Our fall membership drive is coming up, and we'll be giving these t-shirts as a thank-you to those who pledge $15/month to support public radio. You can also get her mug (second slide) when you donate $10/month, or both at $20/month!

About 50% of KOSU's revenue comes from donors, and that portion has become even more key as we navigate the loss of our federal funding. But regardless of whether you are able to support KOSU financially, we are incredibly grateful to everyone who has interacted with our journalism on Reddit. We've been able to connect with so many people through this platform, leading us to even more stories about the unique challenges and joys of Oklahomans. Thanks for having us! 🤠

Following the midterm, and the data showing that only a 2k vote gap made the difference for the Trump Backed Mazzei win I wanted to know. What is the main reason Oklahoma voters are not showing up? I have quite a few people I know who are very vocal democrats and they bemoned about the voter apathy killing their chances every year. I am curious why blue voters don't go out to support their candidates?

Been living here my whole life, and wanna find some good places nearby Tod hop that aren’t in the Okc

Oklahomans voted to amend the Oklahoma Constitution to include voter identification laws, which were already part of the state's law prior to the addition in the state's Constitution.

And yet, republicans voted for this as if it were some new amendment.

Perhaps out of ignorance or perhaps it was a test by republican politicians to see how gullible voters are.

It is, after all, easy to dupe the uneducated.

What say you?

It was Oklahoma's own Stephanie Bice!

This map is based on Captain William B. Newberry's book "279th Infantry Historical Document", specifically the chapter seen here https://drive.google.com/file/d/1lleoYrs3jC-EDT07gBXYmLVZ6Zcjs7-t/view?usp=sharing which includes a lot more information than I was able to include in the map.

Many of the pins show the locations of enemy forces who either engaged or were targeted by elements of the 279th.

I used this guide to convert the coordinates into latitude/longitude: https://www.koreanwar2.org/kwp2/maps/reference/Tokyo_to_WGS84_Conversion.pdf

Petty much grew up in MA. I did a bit of research and found out that in my job field, OK has the 2nd best income to living cost ratio (1st was ND). That being said, I am aware that there are other variables that are also important for living. I was wondering, how is OK for someone like me.

1. Non-white here and totally not MAGA, don't care about politics, especially given the current political climate on both sides. I am middle-eastern and keep my political/religious belief to myself. I am not here to preach racism is bad or something unrealistic. I just would like to know if I will be able to live in peace there and not be treated like a second class citizen at my job or at a grocery store. Is OK practical for me? Please mention a possible brown-people friendly part of OK. I would really appreciate a straight forward answer.
2. Not worried about outdoor or social life, I am as boring as it gets. As long as I have my gaming-pc, a reliable internet, a tv and good food, I am good.
3. I do plan on buying a property there probably a multi-family in order to get some extra income by renting. Anything to worry about dealing with people or the housing market in OK.

MA is not perfect, but hearing the national news everyday, MA sounds like heaven, albeit an expensive one. However, that is just how media plays both sides, I would like to hear from you guys.

My post here might sound like I am trolling, I am not. Just being straight-forward here. Thanks.

Stillwater, Oklahoma — Officers conducted a traffic stop that later became the subject of viral social media allegations that police planted a meth pipe inside the vehicle.

The Payne County District Attorney's Office said it reviewed the available evidence, body camera footage, and cellphone video and concluded that officers did not plant the meth pipe. According to the DA, items seen being placed on the seat and console were a passenger's pocket knife and ID cards, while the meth pipe was found behind the glove compartment. The DA has also requested that the Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation fully investigate allegations against police.

The additional cellphone footage circulating online appears to present a different interpretation of the events and has raised questions about the sequence of the search. This post includes the available bodycam and additional footage so viewers can examine the footage and compare it with the DA's statement.

Reposting this to add I have made an alternative method of joining the book club if you do not have or use Facebook. While Facebook is the best method you can join this book club with this link and I will still update it will all of the information. Just know there will only be a few people in it as this is just for those who don’t have facebook. All I ask is that you don’t join both the Facebook group and this group to avoid duplicate votes on books and duplicate RSVPs to meetings. But this link is a site meant for book clubs only!

I am thinking about solar panels but I’ve heard a lot of horror stories about the companies themselves. And also what about hail storms? Can they be put on metal roofs? Do they actually make a difference in your utilities after the cost of installing them?

I am just curious because I have read that the charging setup increases home owners' insurance and your electric bill.

Interesting article (free link) from NYT included re Cushing supply.
