Young males with blonde deadlocks, gauge piercings in their ears you can fit a roll of toilet paper through, face tats and piercings in their eyebrows, nostrils and lips. That's who. That shit started back when I was in college. I was sure it would've run its course by now, but no...

Cranky old are free be cranky about anything but "Cranky old guy's"... I'll start: Don't you hate modern toothpaste tubes? You roll 'em up and the next time you go to use it, you have roll it all up again. It was better when they were made out of lead sheets...

Never finding my 10mm socket again
A few weeks back went to one of the larger gun shops in the metroplex for a particular item as I was close by and happened to remember I needed it. So in I go find what I need, shocked that it is 30% higher than I could have gotten online but get it anyway.
During this visit I do something I haven’t done in forever.
I wonder down the handgun aisle.
Holy shit. Had to be at least 30 different manufacturers with each having anywhere from 10 to 30 variations on display. I actually spent some time looking just because I haven’t in so long and what I got from it was it was mostly and “basically” 1911, Glock, steel, polymer and custom variants and then a sub class of micros.
It no wonder a new shooter would be overwhelmed by the choice's. Hell I would be even using my own advice as were to start with so many choices..
I am in a gun store and feel totally out of my element.

The drug commercials for condition XYZ that you've never heard of but when you look it up, maybe 1,000 people in the US might have the disease and the drug cost is $60k a year or more.

Too many choices is an odd thing to complain about. I like having options. When I'm shopping for something - especially a firearm, I really don't like being confronted with "well, here's the four you can choose from, and if none of them work then tough shit".
I've set up computers for lots of people with various disabilities. The amount of specialized equipment available is extensive. It's also heartwarming to see someone being productive, knowing that in another time, they would have been a permanent burden to their family just sitting in a room and waiting to die.
