Less than 1000 responsible gun owners? We're just making up numbers now?

Before he passed away, my kids' grandfather bought all his grandkids their first 22 rifle. Some of the cousins were still infants but he wanted to buy them something. He was a prolific hunter and marksman. My kids guns all lived in the safe until they were old enough to shoot them, and now they live in the safe when not in use. You can give guns to kids all day long, that's not the problem and the gun is not the problem.

Connect via ssh to my home server from work

Using a cli torrent client to download stuff

Decide I need a VPN.

Install VPN again from CLI

Run VPN which disconnects my ssh connection

Even when I get home, the server is headless so I have to locate a keyboard and mouse before I can fix.

In medieval England it was trendy to make nicknames by rhyming with a shortened form

Robert -> Rob -> Bob

Richard -> Rick -> Dick

Margaret -> Meg -> Peg

William -> Will -> Bill

All being pretty common examples. This was covered pretty early on in the excellent History of English Podcast

That will vary widely. Near me you can kill as many as you want, it's legal. Now why you wouldn't eat them is beyond me, since they are delicious.

There's not much reading involved, it's got a big picture of a deer on it.

Ooh I read the first one of the Steel heart books and it actually was pretty good.

I've got a 20ish year old C9 that's plenty reliable. I've cleaned it exactly once ever and it sends rounds down range just fine. It's accurate enough, and unless you limp wrist it, it doesn't have any problems cycling.

Is it my EDC? No. But for taking to the range and screwing around it can put holes in paper where I want them.
