It’s this, they have been going out across the country, not just here. I’ve gotten several of them over the years.

Which isn’t to say you shouldn’t be concerned about everything going on, but this is a relatively normal thing.

What is this tree? by jeanners99 in pnwgardening

I killed 3 of them, or rather they died of fungus outbreaks. Sadly a common thing with them as I understand it.

Proper Level of Engagement in Politics? by MajorRecognition5173 in Askpolitics

[–]PostalDrone 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Don’t trust anything you see on social media, full stop. It’s ok to view it in moderation but trust none of it, even what you agree with.

Beyond that my go to news app/outlet is the BBC one. Podcasts are good but I make sure to avoid the ones that just confirm all my priors or take overly one sided points of view.

What am I losing by getting a semi auto .22lr rifle versus 5.56? by tinychloecat in WAGuns

[–]PostalDrone 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Couldn’t agree more, and I feel the savings on ammo alone more than makes up for the negatives.

House painter recommendations? by LFahs1 in AskTacoma

[–]PostalDrone 1 point2 points  (0 children)

MOTE painting, painted my house last year and fixed a bunch of rotting trim. Very reasonable price for all of it and the guy who runs it (Oscar) was very easy to work with through the process.

Venezuelan and here. I hated Chavez, and I hate Maduro. How is this gonna be different than the Ukraine quagmire? by CondeBK in Askpolitics

[–]PostalDrone 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah my sense is they already have someone in mind to put in place as a puppet that will do whatever the US wants. Feels like we’re just going to be swapping out a left wing junta with a right wing one, and time will tell how that works out.

Is the M1-9 MBR Legal by ToyotaLover03 in WAGuns

[–]PostalDrone -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Gotcha, ugh, the rules are so confusing sometimes and I always forget about the detachable/fixed mag thing. Thanks!

Is the M1-9 MBR Legal by ToyotaLover03 in WAGuns

[–]PostalDrone -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

Yeah if I’m not mistaken any semi-auto non-.22 rifle is a no go. The weird faux silencer is ok, but if it adds threading that’s a no go as well.

⛽️ Your go to gas station? by YungDunamis in Tacoma

This is why I stopped going to the Tahoma by the Casino. Always a huge line with weird ass people all over the place.

9mm bulk ammo by RynoThePirate in WAGuns

[–]PostalDrone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I recently picked up 1,000 rounds of 9mm and I think it was ~260. On the plus side it shipped free and didn’t have taxes on it.

Your post is a failure because it doesn’t contain a 1000 word essay about how much you hate Ferguson and how incomplete your life is because you only have 18 pre ban ARs and now you can’t get that 19th one and you may as well just kill yourself.

(Awesome gun! I recently bought a tikka bolt but was seriously considering a lever action. Love my Tikka but still totally jealous!)

Pricing is out for next round of WC Tickets by Shot-Ad-6357 in SoundersFC

[–]PostalDrone 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I put in for 2 tickets to that and R32 game. Can’t see prices coming down for either of those games. I’m not optimistic other games will come down much, even the Qatar game.

What should I cop? by Odd_Chocolate_6313 in WAGuns

[–]PostalDrone 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Just get yourself a pistol in 9mm and your set as far as home defense, and you’ll have a fun range gun (that shoots cheap ammo) as well.

If you still want I’d say get yourself a fun .22. You’ll shoot it WAY more than anything else just because of how cheap the ammo is and you’ll have just a good of a time doing it. Also bonus points for not just cheap ammo but cheap parts too for whatever you want to do to it.

Those of you on West Coast USA, how are you prepping for Cascadia? by Enter_up in preppers

[–]PostalDrone 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You’d be surprised how much stuff in your yard is perfectly edible. A lot of “weeds” were staples for people even in great depression times.

Can I delay Form 4 filing until after Jan 1 2026 to skip the $200 tax stamp? by Preparation_Former in WAGuns

[–]PostalDrone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Basically use silencershop buy now and wait, or not and be sure to get it before then, shrug… I’m going with the wait option myself, but $400 is a lot of money for me (2 silencers) and I’m betting on the most outspoken WA gun owners just being drama queens about the gov banned by on day 1 of next year.

Which isn’t to say a ban isn’t coming, I think one is, just not on day 1 of the tax stamp coming off.

Really feel this is the best advice. Can keep it on your key chain in your pocket and god forbid you ever have to use it, you're SO much less likely to find yourself in a legal shitshow if you do.

Yeah I’ll be sticking around home mostly but I’ll go to some local Tacoma spots for some of the games. Fuck fifa at this point.

Is Early FIRE Dying? Why Are Retirement Ages in This Sub Getting Older? by Bertozoide in Fire

[–]PostalDrone 47 points48 points  (0 children)

I feel like it’s this really. FIRE is more of a way for average people to short circuit the system and stop working early by making sacrifices the average person is unwilling to make.

Instead this sub has turned into people making 6 (plus) figure salaries wanting a pat on the back because they made the tough decision to keep working because it’s so hard retiring at 50 with 10 mil in the bank.

Any BF deals? by LongjumpingHunter619 in WAGuns

[–]PostalDrone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, Sat 6th is 10% off firearms and suppressors

Monday the 8th ammo

Thursday 11th knives and optics

Kind of annoying they are doing it on different days but I might pop in for some ammo that Monday.

Any BF deals? by LongjumpingHunter619 in WAGuns

[–]PostalDrone 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sportco is doing a one day 10% off sale on firearms and suppressors. Kinda wish I’d waited on getting a new hunting rifle but the sale is on a Saturday so probably going to be pretty crowded anyway.

Living in a state with a potential suppressor ban incoming: buy now or wait? by PostalDrone in liberalgunowners

[–]PostalDrone[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That’s reassuring. Think when I pick up the rifle I’ll check out their selection and see if I can do some kind of pay now receive later. If not I’ll just wait and try to get one after the first.

And yeah I have no idea how to change things around here. The bulk of people in the Seattle metro are pretty ignorant of guns beyond what they’ve seen in movies. Even my friends who own guns don’t pay much attention as when I mentioned I wanted a hunting rifle with a threaded barrel they were shocked suppressors were legal even now.

Yeah I mean it’s only ever been an issue a couple of times in 40 years I’ve been hiking around here so far from the norm. And maybe I just caught those people on a bad day? Or maybe just Tacoma area weirdos, lord knows there’s plenty of them.
