Well the only 2 people I was gonna rob... I guess I'll give up my life of crime and just go back to ethical piracy.

So I just joined a gun club in the city with a nice shooting range I can shoot at for free for a year now. I even paid extra upfront to bring my own bullets.... On a related note I bought a bulk pack of x1000 9mm parabelum and x1000 10mm auto.... shits about to get real!
If you havent already saw attached are the two guns im training on.
Hiring a software engineer in their late 40s:
Pros:
* Understands your stack better than you do after glancing through the repo for five minutes.
* Will rewrite said stack 2x as fast, and half as buggy if you let them.
Cons:
* Gives zero fucks.
* Knows we're not *really* like family here.
* No, seriously, absolutely zero fucks given.
Do not cite the deep magic to me, product manager, I was there when it was written.

@freemo @Hawk1291 That's odd about the 45LC. That was the first pistol caliber I shot and at 11 it wasn't uncomfortable. It was fired from a Single Action Army style revolver so all the mass was likely the reason.
Same day as I got introduced to the AR-15 in the form of a Bushmaster. I remember that both were oddly comfortable to shoot for an adolescent.
Oddly enough, I didn't like 9mm at first because of how quickly the barrel rises but it's just part of getting used to a new caliber.
Perhaps it is just based on my experience with long rifles. It's not love unless it leaves a bruise and a little tenderness the day after.
Man everyone was so worked up about how much recoil my new 10mm gun was going to have... yea it is obviously more than a 9mm but it was very smooth and handled well. I shot off 100 rounds today and it didnt hurt a bit.
Here is a picture of my new Kimber, and the target after a clip. I was definitely shooting a bit low but the clustering was workable. I was also trying to fire fairly quickly rather than take my time and aim, so I'd say not bad at 10 yards.
@freemo Beautiful! 🤩
I never know what to #write in this #introduction thing. Maybe because I don't really know who I am or maybe I'm a mixture of many things.
Anyway, my name is Gustavo and I live in #Jundiaí, the city of #grapes, in #Brazil. I am currently a #PhD student in #biochemistry and the #question I am trying to answer is:
Is it possible to use the knowledge of the #plant #circadianclock to increase the efficiency of #weedmanagement in #sorghum crop?
At the same time I trying to answer what is #time?
In between, I make #music and #dance to the #rhythms of #life. It's like @neilhimself says in his profile: "It is too late now!"
And that's it! I joined this instance because I like the #idea behind questions. @freemo seems to have created something special here. Thanks!
It will be a pleasure to meet you all!
