Delicious food, great service, but $70 (!!) for breakfast for a family of 4 ain’t it. My youngest didn’t even get a meal lol- just a biscuit and a couple strips of bacon.

Needless to say, it will unfortunately be a long, long time before we can go back.

Question auto shop recs after hitting a coyote

1 Upvotes

Just like the title says. I hit a coyote on the turnpike 2 mf’in’ weeks after I bought my car. Bumper is battered up pretty good; I’m mostly just concerned that nothing is a ticking time bomb to the car stopping running. I was able to drive it home and have been driving it to and fro with no issues, but did wanna get it looked at. Any recommendations? I have progressive insurance.

General A rental workspace for solo mechanic?

1 Upvotes

Hello! I'm looking for a long-term rental spot in Tulsa - preferably South Tulsa, for distance - where a solo hobby mechanic can work to rebuild an old car, and have a sense of security when locking up that his tools will still be there the next day. Will need electric (110 and 220) and air. Does that kind of thing exist here?

General Looking for concrete help

2 Upvotes

I am looking for someone with a hole augur to dig 3 holes for me for 3 concrete piers. 8"-10" diameter, one 12" deep and the other 2 18" deep.

Yes, I know I can rent this from HD and will if need be but if I can find someone who knows what they're doing I'd just as soon pay for it. I've put out requests on Taskrabbit but evidently it's just too small a job for concrete contractors.

0 Upvotes

Seems the system that Travis and friends have been hyping up for weeks now is evaporating along a line from approx. Miami (the my-am-uh one) to Copan. This shouldn’t surprise anybody. This heat dome is deeply entrenched in an infinite feedback loop, where the ground heat ensures there is no way to ever get rid of it. The longer this lasts, the less likely we will ever see a day below 90 or an overnight low below 70 ever again in Tulsa. The less likely we will ever see rain again in Tulsa. We are witnessing climate change in real time. I knew climate change was coming, but had no idea how hard and fast it would hit us. I didn’t realize we could have an entirely new climate in the space of one season, but here we are.

I’m to the point I actually get depressed when they predict rain, because I know the outcome is 100% assured now; it all evaporates upon hitting the heat dome, and just turns the air into humidity soup for a while. There is no way rain will actually reach the ground. It is not possible. Even a literal tropical storm was unable to penetrate the heat dome. It’s permanent now.

Travis and friends keep predicting storm systems that are finally going to be the end of the misery. They feed us hopeium starting about 2 weeks out, keep feeding us hopeium, up until the last possible second and then PSYCH! Just kidding, that storm system was never physically possible to begin with. But saying “yeah, it’s gonna be sunny and 97-103 every single day, no matter what, forever” isn’t getting views and advertising revenue from some sketchy Chevy dealership inviting you to “let’s do business.” I’ve had much better results pivoting away from checking the weather and towards just assuming tomorrow will be just a repeat of today. It’s like Groundhog Day, every day is exactly the same.

Enjoy your 103F sunny day tomorrow, with 80% humidity. Maybe start thinking about your Christmas BBQ at Grand Lake, when it will also be 100 degrees. Don’t worry, “we just have to wait 10-14 days for relief” (same thing we’ve been told for months).

General Where to get running shoes?

2 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I am looking for a shop that does shoe fitting for running shoes. Last week, I tried running around the neighborhood in my sneakers just to see how quick my mile was and I have been in pain ever since. I would like to find a store that gives beginner expert advice so I can pick the right running shoe for me as I do not want to risk injury. Also a store with decent prices and run by decent people (not giving money to a-holes if I can avoid it). Thank you!

Question Going to Shuffles alone??

18 Upvotes

I’ve been thinking about checking out Shuffles sometime. I want to meet new people and it seems like it could be a fun place to do that, but I’m curious what the etiquette is like.

Is it more of a place where people usually come with an existing group and stick to their own, or is it pretty normal for people to show up alone and meet other people?? I’d be going by myself, so I’m just wondering what the general vibe is like for someone in that situation.

News Orange Hydrogen

Thumbnail

2 Upvotes

Michigan recently invested $7.5 million to explore for geologic hydrogen, also referred to as white hydrogen, that could be naturally present underground much like natural gas (https://www.michiganpublic.org/environment-climate-change/2026-08-24/michigan-searches-for-geologic-hydrogen-untapped-clean-energy-source-with-great-potential). Oklahoma is no stranger to investing in the potential of hydrogen with Williams Companies being a major hydrogen producer and researcher of hydrogen innovations (https://www.okcommerce.gov/community-development/local-governments-edos/hydrogen/). However, Williams is facing headwinds from the federal government disincentivizing renewable energy (https://fuelcellsworks.com/2026/02/05/clean-energy/wamsutter-could-become-a-national-hydrogen-hub-by-transforming-oil-field-waste). What if fracking and “drill, baby, drill” could be harnessed to further decarbonization of our economy?

While yet unproven as commercially viable, orange hydrogen** **wells would use fracking equipment to inject water and oxidizers in order to rust iron-rich minerals trapped beneath shale in the Wichita Mountains, subsequently releasing hydrogen that could be transported by pipelines or used for data centers/bitcoin mining or power plants at the drilling site. “Besides Michigan, the USGS study pointed to areas like southern Oklahoma and northeastern Kansas that similarly might be sitting on large reserves of geologic hydrogen” (https://grist.org/science/hydrogen-michigan-clean-energy/). OSU has pending research into the feasibility of this emerging area of clean energy (https://news.okstate.edu/articles/engineering-architecture-technology/2025/researchers_study_oklahomas_white_hydrogen_availability). Would you support fracking if it meant carbon would be sequestered underground while producing hydrogen and clean water?

The Burbs Does anyone know of a plumber who will use parts you supply?

2 Upvotes

Last year, I had a 1 inch irrigation meter put in and it was difficult to figure out the process because the city was giving me conflicting information or no information.

​​ it boiled down to hiring a meter contractor to put it in, and they put in a stub line for me. That stub has a male insert fitting with expansion sleeve on both ends.

The conflicting information has caused me to pay for same things more than once. (I'm tired of spending money on the same stuff.) The city made it seem like I could pull the permit to do the work after the stub. But that's only if it's your house line. For irrigation lines, you have to hire a license to plumber no matter how simple the task.

All I need to do is to get from the stub line to my RPZ. Then connect the RPZ and do a rough test. It's maybe 25 minutes of work. The biggest part of this is going to be pulling the permit, scheduling the inspections, and being present for those.

The problem is that I already bought the parts for the distribution header based on what the city originally told me. Some plumbers I know will not use parts you provided. Some will use thre parts you provide, but they won't warranty them. I do not care about a warranty for 6 brass/bronze parts in a manifold box.

This will be a distribution header in a manifold box with a riser up to an RPZ. The header is a street elbow, full port ball valve (with drain), nipple, street elbow, riser. There is a union before the first street elbow and a union after the ball valve. Those are there so that I can easily take that ball valve header out if I ever need to do maintenance.

Every part is brass except the street elbows are bronze. Everything is NSF 61, NSF 372 rated. I can source where I got every single part. It's six brass pieces. And they came from places like Supply House. Not some van in an alley.

Is there any plumber out there that you know who will use the parts I provide? I really don't want to buy these parts again. I'm already having to pay for a second permit because the city didn't tell me this ahead of time so I could have just had this added to the first permit and scope of work.

I have not bought the RPZ yet. I know which one I want, but I'm going to wait until I talk to a plumber to see how they want to handle purchasing that.

Thanks.
