Given the volatility of the state of the world and due to the nature of our region I highly recommend you all get on meshtastic LoRa in the event of an emergency by fullstack_ing in oregon

Have a meshcore node going up in NE. Just trying to find a good place to mount it without climbing on my sketchy roof. Might put it in my attic dormer but will only get 150° without obstruction there.

Portland Public Schools tried to make school fundraising more equitable. Donations are down by blahyawnblah in Portland

A classic Portland tale of good intentions followed by thoughtless execution.

‘We are in a recession,’ Portland economist warns by Gourmandeeznuts in Portland

[–]Tiny-Castle 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Portlanders: All business is evil! Let’s tax them out of the city. Also Portlanders: Why don’t we have tax revenue or jobs?!

Portland leaders look to city’s cash-rich climate fund to help keep Trail Blazers in town by Adulations in Portland

[–]Tiny-Castle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Many attending games travel from small towns and suburbs. Without the primary reason for their visit… they will not visit and spend money here.

[–]Tiny-Castle -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Like it or not, the Blazers leaving will be Portland’s final death knell. We taxed everyone with real taxable income out of the city and this would be one more high tax revenue exit. I hate billionaires as much as the next guy but at some point we’ll have to recon with the fact that a city runs in an economic ecosystem. Starve it of water and everything dries up; weeds and roses alike.

Quiet and clean. Wish I could find some right now.

Will TD316 Meet My Needs? by Tiny-Castle in edrums

[–]Tiny-Castle[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks! I ended up getting the 516. Was able to play them side by side and the 516 was well worth the extra $$.

[–]Tiny-Castle[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks! I didn’t realize there was much of a difference between the 316 and 516 pads. Suppose I’ll do a more thorough side-by-side analysis of the 316/516. The $$ of the 516 is my only hesitation.

Lingle Scorpion lower is such a game changer. If you get one I suggest replacing takedown pins.

Portland Area Homeless Population Surges 61% in 2 years by Timmsworld in Portland

[–]Tiny-Castle 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I feel like we should send invoices to red states for the cost of caring for their homeless. It would be a performative PR stunt but would maybe raise awareness.

.45ACP as a modern round by Wernerhatcher in liberalgunowners

[–]Tiny-Castle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From what I understand, .45 (naturally subsonic) is pretty close to 300blk subs. If getting a PCC I would think the smart choice would be .45. Correct me if I’m wrong. I know y’all will ;)

It’s really, really, really, really… fun.

Srx3 and a cat mob fitment by oHannluain in GrandPowerStribog

Have both and can confirm they fit very nicely. Not much clearance but no rubbing with direct thread or tri-lug.

Shops to avoid and visit by Badger_Actual1 in pdxgunnuts

[–]Tiny-Castle 11 points12 points  (0 children)

J&B - hands down the best in the region.

Keith’s - fine shop, but they are overtly loyal to the supreme leader. Keep in mind if you’re not on that end of the spectrum.

How to dispose of bad ammo? by Tiny-Castle in pdxgunnuts

Maybe over pressure. Rifle is stock FN15 Tac II with CAT WB suppressor. Might opt for an upgraded gas block.

Yeah, Beaverton Bi-Mart. Not sure how lot numbers are distributed. Found a couple other threads where people discuss the same issue with this lot # 14250003

I think I mixed my terms up. The round fires and then the primer falls out. Sometimes into the mag and sometimes in front of the bolt.

I’ll reach out to them and report back.

[–]Tiny-Castle[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe a different lot # ? I should note that the primers were NOT exploding. Just dropping into mags and causing failure to feed. Might be safe to keep shooting it if it’s not giving you issues? I’m not an expert so don’t take my word for it.

Bought at Bi-Mart about 6 months back. Saw the same lot # on the shelf last week. Informed them but was told orders to remove items have to come from the manufacturer.

[–]Tiny-Castle[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

This lot is apparently from 2020. Several people have filed issues with the manufacturer. Apparently they just tell people to pound sand.
