Right on man - I absolutely LOVE your documentary. I've lived here all my life and I'm 48 now and I think your video really captured a lot of the cool things we have going on in this city. It's honestly amazing the transformation we've undergone.
From the bottom of my heart - Thank you for your work!
I think the story of this transformation is quite interesting and unique and I don't think it's been covered by any documentarian. hint hint I would love to see you do another documentary on this story.
Here's a very brief review of what's happened but just know that this story is filled with political maneuvering, shady contractors, corruption and the rise of the "good people" over the corruption to create some amazing things! What is so amazing about this transformation is HOW we've done it.
The story starts with the collapse of Penn Square Bank back in the early 80s. It literally plunged our city into a deep recession that took a decade or more to recover. Housing prices plummeted, unemployment skyrocketed, business closed and we had strip mall after strip mall that were like 90% empty. The city was in horrible shape. The collapse was also covered in a couple of books. One named Belly Up and the other named Funny Money
The recovery didn't really happen until we realized that no one was coming to save us - we were on our own. If we wanted new things and a better city in which to live, we were going to have to do something about it because no one else was.
It all started with the passage of MAPS 1 in the early 90s, which imposed a 1 penny sales tax, for a fixed term. There were numerous projects identified and publicized but people were skeptical. We hadn't really been in a "growth" mindset for over a decade and were more in survival mode.
There were lots of people that said things like, "We don't need a ditch through Bricktown." and when people mentioned San Antonio's river walk, they still weren't moved. After all, our govt hadn't really done anything to help the citizens out so the pessimism was VERY high. Lots of people thought the money would be squandered or lost and we would be right back where we started.
They had good reason to think this way because way back in the 70s and 80s there was a massive urban renewal program pitched to the city where lots of old buildings would be knocked down with new ones put up in their place. Well they knocked down the buildings but never built the new ones. SOOOOOOO many people were skeptical.
But MAPS 1 passed and we were on our way!
We built a brand new ballpark for our AAA baseball team, we built the bricktown canal and purchased the boats - hard to believe the canal didn't used to be there. We cleaned up and damed the North Canadian river and renamed it the Oklahoma River, where those olympic hopeful rowers come to train. We built the Chesapeake Arena and revamped our convention center. I think there might have been a few more projects but I can't recall exactly.
Now here's the best part - we got all that new stuff DEBT FREE! Most cities issue bonds to build things like this but we paid cash for them. This is still something people from out of town have a hard time believing.
However all of that progress could have been derailed because of corruption and shady contractors. Once money started flowing into the coffers and projects were started, there were rumors of some seriously shady shit going on. It seemed to me, as an ordinary citizen, that it was quite possibly on the verge of being one big boondoggle. However there were a few people that stepped in and got it all straightened out. Men like Ron Norrick and many, many others took control and there was a MAPS oversight board created and the projects got back on track.
It was so successful we passed MAPS2 (dubbed MAPS For Kids) that paid for brand new schools, upgraded equipment in the classrooms and much, much more.
In 2009 amid the worst economic downturn since the great depression, we passed MAPS 3. It seems to be moving quite slowly but there is traction. This is amazing to me because at the time many people were worried about their jobs, Aubrey McClendon was the highest paid CEO in the nation and had made some VERY controversial moves, the OKC Thunder were on their way to OKC from Seattle amid many rumors of shady dealings, leaked emails and all that and the police officers were wanting MAPS 3 to provide some much needed funding for their future and many people thought we simply shouldn't be doing any of this when the economy has just crashed....but we passed it!!
We're now building a first class white water rowing facility, we're going to be putting in a light rail system, we'll expand the Myriad Gardens down to the river, build a new convention center and more.
I could go on and on but seriously - the story from the early to mid 80s up to now is one that a lot of people don't know about but it quite compelling.
Anyways - would love to see your documentary on that story!
I would suggest googling your models and seeing what the specs are, and comparing those to what's available today. My bet is that it's time to upgarde. I'm not a super tech-y person, but buying a new router (having bought my old one only 3 years earlier) made a HUGE difference for me.
As for your modem, make sure yours is DOCSIS 3.0 or better. In most situations, you want 8x4 channels or better, too.
This is the modem I have: https://www.amazon.com/NETGEAR-download-Certified-Cablevision-CM400-1AZNAS/dp/B0111MRLES/ref=pd_sim_147_2?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=A76TFGV21W579DWMC6BK&dpID=416Y7zgKuBL&preST=_SX300_QL70_&dpSrc=detail
Just based on age, I'm thinking yeah, probably time to upgrade. I can't seem to find solid data, but as my memory serves me, the average household broadband connection at that time was 5 or 10 mbps. Hell, when I got my first Charter package in 2012, the best I could buy was 30mbps (vs. 100 or 120 when I left in August 17 though I couldn't get that speed at my house). And I would think that the mid-market technology available at the time would have been created for that kind of output vs what we have today.
I'm not the one who brought Trump up either. But I did support the idea that non-opposing participation in that sub can and should be used as a tool for how seriously to take someone.
I know and love a number of Trump supporters. And while I might value their friendship and non-political opinions, you better believe I take their political views with one of these.
GPU and CPU you can buy on amazon that’s pretty basic. I’d get some really good high speed ram because ryzen loves to use that high speed ram for some reason, it runs really well on 3200+ ram.
Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4 DRAM 3000MHz C15 Desktop Memory Kit - Black (CMK16GX4M2B3000C15) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0134EW7G8/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_AdsIDbVDBCJFY
Edit: 3000mhz will probably suffice.
Scrolled through the replies, so I won't repeat what everybody else has said as they are all correct. But I didn't see anybody mention getting a Weather Radio. Here's the one I have (non-affiliate link, and not promoting anything):
https://www.amazon.com/Midland-WR300-MIDLAND-Weather-Radio/dp/B00009V2YV
You can set the alerts to cover not only your county, but those near you. I have mine set to alert on the counties to the southwest, west, and northwest of my county so that as storms develop I know what's coming. (Storms always track from West to East. And NORMALLY track Southwest to Northeast, but sometimes track from Northwest to Southeast.) When the radio alerts on a county that is west of us, I flip on the TV and start monitoring radar. The radio has a LOUD alarm so it will wake you up in the middle of the night if there is sever weather when you're sleeping.
TV channels to watch, 4, 5, or 9. Each one has pros and cons, so pick the person who is the least annoying to you. I flip between all three as their storm trackers are scattered all over the state during severe weather.
Also, if your the technical kind of person, get a scanner and monitor the Amateur (Ham) Radio repeaters. The storm chasers will use ham radio to report back to the National Weather Center in Norman. These folks are on the ground and will know what's going on before anybody else. You can normally find out about a tornado on the ground about 90 seconds earlier than they report on the news channels. Here's a good handheld scanner:
https://www.amazon.com/Uniden-BC75XLT-300-Channel-Handheld-Emergency/dp/B00A1VSO9M/ref=zg_bs_172530_1?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=4X5AMGKE7X3W7Z5NRNE3
The frequency to monitor with your scanner is 145.41. This is the WX5OKC repeater and is connected to a network of radio towers all over the state. This is the repeater that the Weather Center in Norman will monitor for updates from storm chasers, so it's usually pretty quiet except during severe weather. As an added bonus, the scanner will also pick up the different weather radio frequencies (pre-programmed), which can give you an update on warnings and watches.
Just go to Amazon and Search "Cable modem docsis 3.0" make sure and get an all-in-1 wifi router/modem. I got a 4 port, 2 phone line, wifi router/modem for like 27$ (128$ New!!!!) The cheapest one I'd purchase from the "used" section now is 33$ from Lyon's Electronics. I wouldn't trust the other lower priced ones.
https://www.amazon.com/TG862G-Telephony-DOCSlS-Wireless-Xfinity/dp/B008KRLZCW
You shouldn't have to upgrade unless you find you're always experiencing downtime or the speeds you're paying for can't be fully implemented due to your equipment being unable to operate that fast. Check router/modem documentation to see its max speeds.
This one has been very effective. It's hideous and can be seen from the street, but my day-sleeping husband isn't disturbed much anymore.
https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B01C3SOUKM/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
So, there are actually a couple of books about this that may be to your interest. You can either buy them (Amazon or Full Circle), or I'm pretty sure get a copy from one of the libraries.
Is this the movie?! I second Stinchcomb. But don't tell anyone because I like my secret.
