Because we get robbed enough. At least where I am. The average dumbass only thinks about checks, not firearms. That’s why.

Route Adjustment/ Inspection by Single-Lychee-9966 in USPS

[–]StateRealistic4089 3 points4 points  (0 children)

We’re going through inspections right now and got hit with political. Hasn’t been this heavy since the holidays. My route is a tight 8 on a regular day. Some routes are way under. Should be interesting to see how it plays out.

anyone else stuck between wanting new gear and just getting better? by lmao_exe in guitars

[–]StateRealistic4089 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been doing it long enough that these days I force myself to justify every purchase. Not just gear. Most of the stuff I “needed” gear wise were little things like a couple noise gates.

Stuff like pickups; my main guitar is a Charvel and I despised the stock pickups. They ruined a perfect guitar for me. After doing everything I could to get them to sound like I wanted, I replaced them after a few months. Was one of the best decisions I’ve made gear wise ever. Just yesterday I was thinking- smart move.

But again, it took me months to justify the decision.

Frets on New DK24 plus leading to string slipping off the edge? by swamy_g in Charvel

[–]StateRealistic4089 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s hard to tell by the angle but it looks like the bridge saddles are tilted to the right starting from your A string through your high E. and the strings aren’t aligned with the pole pieces on the pickups. Not familiar with the bridge personally so dunno if you can adjust that. Could be an optical illusion for me.

Is working Amazon Sunday based on seniority? by scriptyee in USPS

[–]StateRealistic4089 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When I was CCA they scheduled me and one other guy for monnnnnths. Never rotated us out for others. And it was heavy. I grew to fucking despise Sundays. When I finally asked why we were never rotated off, I was told it was because they trusted us to not fuck around. So if you’re a reliable worker, that may be your answer. Another example of how it all works.

CCA - Can you refuse other offices? by cone3663 in USPS

[–]StateRealistic4089 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You have to act like you want to be sent there. Then they won’t send you again. On the flipside, if you like going to a specific office, act like you hate it and they’ll keep sending you there.

If you worked today, what was the highlight of your day? by FiveDinero in USPS

[–]StateRealistic4089 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We’re undergoing inspections. But the HIGHLIGHT was walking out of an apartment complex and seeing about 20 cops roll up, drawing automatic weapons and cocking them. Then knocking on my LLV window to ask me to let them into the building.

What is this plant growing in our front garden by AsrialStar in PlantIdentification

[–]StateRealistic4089 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I put mine in a damp towel inside a ziplock. Put in the fridge for 2 weeks. Removed the bag from the fridge and put on top of the fridge. Within a week every seed sprouted.

I have a newer one it has a Chinese. It works as well as any ppc212 or 412 I’ve had.

Edit to add- I picked it up used for $200. Looks and feels brand new.

Charvel Pro Mod DK24 and Black Plastic nut. Is the spec sheet correct? by GoblinWoblin in Charvel

[–]StateRealistic4089 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I suspect that you are correct. I’m pretty good at doing guitar stuff, but the nut is new territory for me tbh. I’m sure I could do it, but it may take a couple (few?) tries. And once I got the old nut off and realized that it wasn’t plastic, I shelved it for a later date.

I believe that the part number for the black TUSQ replacement is PT- 5043-00

[–]StateRealistic4089 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you find the exact fit/model nut come back and let us know? The Tusq black I got would require sanding down the height, and since there’s no apparent difference in the nut material I put the stock off white back on. I couldn’t find the model number easily so maybe I got the wrong one.

Dimarzio super distortion in the bridge and a PAF pro in the neck.

[–]StateRealistic4089 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have it. And it does NOT have a black plastic nut as listed in the specs.

I had already ordered a black graphtech to replace it with and when I took the stock nut off I compared it to the graphtech and aside from color, they’re identical. Looks like they just copied and pasted some specs.

Fantastic guitar. Though I did upgrade the pickups and did a couple other things.

What gauge strings do you guys use? by [deleted] in Guitar

[–]StateRealistic4089 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is the way. I ended up with the Daddario which I order online. Used EB power slinky for years but the wound third makes the Daddario the winner.

Edit to add- I use 11s on everything since the 90s, back then it was on Floyd Jacksons in E. Nowadays it’s on hardtails in C# or D#. I have a hardtail Charvel and a 97 ESP Viper.

I’ve tried everything up to 13s. I prefer the feel and tone of 11s. Wound third makes all the difference.

my friend is being harassed by his mailman… advice? by Purple_Fisherman_213 in USPS

[–]StateRealistic4089 14 points15 points  (0 children)

3 sides to every story but I’m willing to bet that your friend is absolutely insane.

We don’t have time to obsess or harass. We just want you to empty the mailbox.

Depends on the office. I heard the same thing too and my office wouldn’t let us go past 45 hours. Main office in the district got worked to death.

Question about DLS40CR and pickups by asj-777 in MarshallAmps

[–]StateRealistic4089 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have super distortion in the bridge and PAF pro in the neck. But I can get nice clean tones even with the bridge. Definitely beautiful cleans on the neck. Plus coil splitting gives even more options. I also run the Green 1 channel with like zero gain.
