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Do not cite the deep magic to me, product manager, I was there when it was written.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! 🤩
Hey @TruthSandwich this poll showin out of 8,4K people, at least in the fediverse, almost none of them are far-right, and 36% are far-left... If its in a poll it must be true /s

Thanks for that - you are right, I have no problem at all with Trans people so long as they don't jump down my throat for expressing my opinion.
I don't really have a need to put up with a pile-on over this, or indeed anything else, so I simply block anyone who gets in a strop - I'm here to enjoy myself not to be attacked by hysterical objectors to what I say!
I was hoping that this would be a more reasoned and measured place than the Vulture site - I was wrong!
