They learned from Israel.  Who learned from Palestinians.  Who learned from Israel.  Who learned from Palestinians....  well, you see the pattern.

Who learned from us.

Our staunchest allies are telling us we are on the wrong side of history with this. https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2024/nov/23/the-observer-view-gaza-israel-icc-arrest-warrants-justice

Development & New Businesses / Drone Capital of the World

Last post by patric - November 21, 2024, 05:01:20 PM

(Director of Tulsa Innovation Labs Jennifer) Hankins said there is a likelihood that a new drone manufacturing facility will be built here.  "Most drones are built in Southeast Asia," she said. "By having one here, it's going to be huge.

Related: Some pictures from a Joplin TV station of the hazmat fire Wednesday. https://www.koamnewsnow.com/news/joplin-news-first/hazmat-fire-in-tulsa-largest-ever-tfd-drone-deployment-assisted-firefighters/article_0015eeee-a828-11ef-b89a-23c76a2d202f.html


The story mentions TFD operating a drone from the Gathering Place to monitor the fire:
"This was possible due to a groundbreaking waiver received by Tulsa Fire three weeks ago. It states the FAA allows Tulsa FD to deploy to emergencies using technology from several domestic partners, ensuring safety of the national airspace system and people on the ground."

How's that for indepth, clear reporting? ;-)

'KYIV, Nov 21 (Reuters) - Russia fired an intercontinental ballistic missile during an attack on the Ukrainian city of Dnipro on Thursday, Kyiv's air force said, in what would be the first use in war of a weapon designed to deliver long-distance nuclear strikes.'

Not surprising, there is a little Putin theatre involved:  https://x.com/KyivPost/status/1859556910371893394

Local Marketplace / Re: Buying beer online?

Last post by patric - November 20, 2024, 05:29:27 PM

Check with the brewery, they may have info on shipping to OK or a distributor in KS/MO/AR.

Waiting for a response...

There was a House Bill that just died that might have fixed this by allowing out-of-state distributors to sell in Oklahoma, but the in-state distributors didnt like the idea.  The term "anti-competitive practices" comes to mind...

I've also heard they are interested in possibly leasing space in the Coterra Energy building.  I guess we'll see.
