I prefer outdoor ranges when I have the opportunity but unfortunately geographically indoor ranges are more practical for me. Most indoor ranges will charge by the hr most outdoor ones are members only with long wait-lists.

I’m going to an outdoor range soon, looking for a good time to break in my first handgun!

Once I’ve e gone just to shoot a five rounds just to test something

I was mainly wondering about how many rounds are spent so I can get the best value for my time while I’m there. Maybe you have a membership, so it didn’t cost you anything for that visit, but only five rounds, really? I wonder what you were testing out, haha.

My personal pet peeve is just on the general quality available to non club members. If you aren’t a club member or taking a class your options are shoot from a booth or the boonies. Not many options to shoot from positions other than a bench or standing.

Yeah, I can get that. Especially if you’re at an indoor range, you’re really only stuck with a booth and targets.

These days I try to do a jog or a little hike before outdoor range days because I’ve got this (misguided) idea that any drill you can’t do while already fatigued isn’t worth doing.

I agree that being under duress or some kind of fatigue is probably an effective way to train.
I’ve watched some competition recordings and I like the idea of shooting some targets, then sprinting to the next position to shoot more.
Maybe at an outdoor range, shooting at some yard away, then turning 180 degrees, running some tens of yards away to shooting the same target more. I’ve seen a YouTuber do it, and I feel like that could be a common drill.

I’m about to start going to one.
I guess the tone of my post sounds a little too…corporate(?) 😅 Not sure if that’s the right word, haha.

If I’m being real, I just want a reason to shoot and go to the range 😂 Although you’re right on some points, having a gun doesn’t necessarily make you feel safer, its a liability if anything.

Of course, I didn’t think to take a class; was relying on the YouTube route, but I think it’s a better investment to check one out.
Good idea on throwing ear plugs under the ear muffs, I’m gonna do my research on that combo.
Also, Thanks for the note on getting an oversized range bag too. Most likely going to stock up later down the line.

I used PowerDeleteSuite when I cleaned my Reddit account out. It’s a Javascript Applet that runs in your browser. It supports filters too so you can choose which subreddits you don’t want it to touch.

I use WireGuard to access my home services and for net-forwarding when I’m outside.
To set it up, I followed this simple guide.

FreshRSS has been working great for me! It even has the ability for web scraping if you need it.

Also, I’d like to point out that Overleaf’s hosting and pricing options are quite reasonable, especially if you’re working for a university or institution: https://www.overleaf.com/user/subscription/plans

While I did take advantage of the free Overleaf Pro during my university days, I don’t have it anymore after graduating, and so I’m missing some features which their free tier doesn’t have.
By self-hosting I’m given better control, and all those features I once had before.

Also, the whole point of this community is to kind of avoid relying on third-party hosting, and especially paying for it too🙂

I checked the volumes that I included in the compose file, and looked for either a texlive, tlmgr or a package folder and didn’t find anything. I think it’s safe to assume that you would need to reinstall the packages if you recreated the containers.

This is a problem that I didn’t consider. I will try to make an update to my compose file that will keep the packages persistent.

Check above for the update!

There’s some tinkering with their docker-compose.yml to make it work. Here’s mine you can copy if you want to get it up and running. I don’t use nginx or any reverse-proxy btw. All data is saved in their own individual volumes which you can back up:

Some of my documents rely on certain packages which didn’t come with the Docker image. You will need to run
docker exec sharelatex-sharelatex-1 tlmgr update --self;docker exec sharelatex-sharelatex-1 tlmgr install scheme-full
so that you can render your documents properly if they utilize certain packages.

Optionally—since the full scheme takes about 8 GB and you may not need everything—you can replace scheme-full with a different scheme you can find by running
docker exec sharelatex-sharelatex-1 tlmgr info schemes
The i before any scheme name means that it is already installed.

Update:
Included a texlive volume to save any packages that were installed, so when recreating the containers, they will persist.

Throwback to Microsoft’s pre-Kinect project dubbed Xbox ‘Natal’ way back in the day.
Being younger, I—along with many—really thought that was the close future of gaming. In hindsight, of course it was all fabricated.
I’m not surprised by Google’s Gemini demo video either. The way that which the whole demo was narrated and played out made it seem too linear, too perfect.
