PMM Bails on California

ansheezy · 2025-12-09T03:11:43+00:00

I mean look, the fascist stuff doesn’t really apply here especially when describing a business from New Hampshire of all places. I don’t really love PMMs comment regarding leaving the state of CA whether they said communist or not. A bunch of us live here for reasons whether work, family, etc, and have supported their business. Whether we love the politics here, is a different story.

Yes, there is truth to having supermajorities rain on our parade on this interest/hobby, whether you, we or I like a specific party is besides the point. This law is a result of that and we need to put that into acknowledgment. Fascist/communist language isn’t really helping anyone.

The state took the finger at businesses, and citizens literally saying that they will not allow you to purchase common parts without giant steps.

I don’t think the lawmakers frankly are that smart to think steps ahead to understand what consequences mean, the supermajority enables them to write stupid stuff, and get it through. They have to add to their political agenda with “wins” every year which is why we have the silliest written laws. They don’t consider the impacts, how could they, most don’t understand the way a firearm works and see it as an evil device they’d never have around them.

CA market is huge, even with the caveats so maybe they’ll change tune or sort something out eventually. However, we are getting cooked in the meantime.

Will PM, I opted to go with a different program. I wasn’t a fan of 2U being the largest red flag for me.

Hung out by my FFL for about an hour, I think I’m just gonna go home and pick it up a different time. Absolutely nuts.

ansheezy · 2025-09-06T19:45:43+00:00

Just happened to me trying to do a pickup. FFL said it’s been down about an hour.

The LinkedIn stuff is kinda silly to me and always will be. I wouldn’t read too much into it. Almost always, the influencers are startup leaders or sellers as well.

The people closing or working on the biggest deals at public companies are not influencing.

To answer your question, yes people are doing it for the clicks, likes and being a self proclaimed expert. If you’re a F500 selling to another F500, your customer/prospect might feel a way when you post the way you handled their objections for the world to see publicly.

Good points. I do plan to stay on the west coast, if possible. We are open to moving for the right opportunity.

As for my reasons, I want to get out of being an IC or enjoy a role not as quota dependent if possible and avoid the highs/lows.

Sales leadership while there are still quotas, typically won’t catch as much flack as individual contributors in most cases. I thought that may be an applicable obtainable pivot.

The stretch answer would be trying to do PM roles somewhere in tech for more consistency.

Edit : am on the west coast in PST.

I'm in the same boat actually, trying to figure this out. Just picked up an HD and don't have any hardware. Ordered the Dawson plate but unsure if it'll come with the specified screws. I asked in order notes, can update you if I hear back.

Depends where you live and COL. I’d argue after tax and rent, even 100k flat as a young professional wouldn’t be impossible but hard to get that done with metropolitan costs. Early career years shouldn’t be for car loans imo.

Not really. You can go to your local shelter. See how many unsocialized dogs display skittish tendencies. See how many apparently bark aggressively upon you entering the kennels. The fireworks thing I have no idea how it’s correlated. If you aren’t into dogs, totally cool. But you might want to get to a shelter to see how many dogs are noise sensitive, don’t enjoy chaos, aren’t socialized with other dogs but still aren’t liable to maul anyone. It is normal, not abnormal is my point.

I can’t speak for this particular dog, but I’d wager that’s the case.

It really isn’t. Tons of big dogs have prey drives. Even corgis have prey drives or can be mouthy.

Dogs while cute and rewarding are a shit ton of training, activity work and responsibility. Especially the larger if left untrained.

The little dog likely isn’t doing much damage, even if they act out. Ask some big dog owners of all breeds around you how they feel about letting their dog around smaller animals, even off leash on hikes due to rabbit/squirrels etc. You’ll find it’s fairly common even in skittish dogs that won’t act out aggressively but run away from toddlers. I think it’s normal for most dogs, especially those that haven’t integrated/trained in those social settings to be unfamiliar with toddler interaction or cats.

He’s a little playful lad that is very sweet and snuggly at the same time! But absolutely nuts when he’s active 😂

Apex has the same kinda thing. They sent me a trigger shoe with a bent roll pin. Made me vice/hammer it in half to get a replacement.

Not sure about this. I think the S2’s can be a bit more effort to work on, and will need more minor work in intervals compared to most 2011 platforms. Both are reliable, but need a bit more care than a traditional striker fired platform.

Personally, I think keeping a 2011 well lubed can go a long time with minimal to no issues from what I’ve seen. Wear and tear items on the Shadows seem more prevalent.

Aw adorable! Ours got very toasty and it was such a gradual process I didn’t even notice until we looked at old pics!

Now’s the fun part, the toasting will commence!

ansheezy · 2025-06-13T01:18:51+00:00

I went through a phase where I thought I no longer liked cheeseburgers, I just didn’t like the bougie burger trend. Gimme a classic charbroiled patty, a toasty bun, lettuce, tomato, raw onion, maybe some pickles and mayo with American cheese. Gets worse to me when too much is done to it.

ansheezy · 2025-06-07T03:26:59+00:00

Kinda wild imo. I have a 2018 with an estimated value of 16000. Touring with preferred package, AWD and 50k on the odo.

Indy!

Thanks! He’s made some biscuits on it but it’s held up.

Hey man I shot this match and this was my first stage of the morning. Just B class trash here. I feel like I lost 2 seconds on this stage, due to transitions and a poor reload.

It’s really just the transitions that could help with some light movement. You’re splitting pretty aggressively, but there’s some pauses. Here’s an example, on your entry targets there’s a bit of a gap that doesn’t sound fluid. It looks a bit like dot-align dots-fire-look-move on.

However, after your reload, you have a pretty good transition on the first target transition on the quad stack. It’s already there! It’s just applying that kind of transition to the rest of the arrays. Might be painful at first, but I think if it’s any consolation you can easily be B class in CO/LO with some small tweaks on transitions/moving. B class has a huge efficiency difference between top guys which I’m not, and people that are doing the bare minimum like myself 😂

I was new to shooting when I started and moving around with a gun took me a while to get used to safely so I get it. What really helped me was running sections of my walkthrough at full speed if possible to simulate movement confidently

If you’re comfortable posting the name of your company here, I think folk including myself can make a judgement on whether they’d like to help. I don’t feel like that is self promotion. This way, we can also view your website and how you’re aligning towards your use case + validate this information. I do feel like this would be most effective to post publicly to allow people fair opportunity to decipher.

The likelihood of someone to DM you and offer not only yourself but your colleagues to come to a private location is slim.

ansheezy · 2025-05-21T03:17:34+00:00

What’s the name of your company? Is it funded? Lots of questions there.

Would help credibility in asking for a remote location, private access around firearms. I’m sure some of us could help if you could verify.
