Let's say I would like to bring a lady friend to a firing range and shoot some guns at things (preferably not each other). Neither of us has ever fired a gun before. Any suggestions for what to do, or what kind of classes to look for?
NRA has a basic pistol shooting course that's cheap and teaches you not to be a dangerous moron.
If it's just a thing you want to do on a lark, though, I'll bet the nearest gun range can hook you up with rented guns and range time. Mine even has ladie's night.
I went to a local range and shot guns
there was zero oversight
like yep, here's your gun and bullets
no instructions about not pointing at other people or keeping your finger off the trigger etc
Pointing a loaded gun at someone who also has a loaded gun is usually a self-correcting mistake.

Nothing pisses me off more then when we as an I.T. Department send out a very basic email addressing an issue, avoiding the use of any technical words or providing unnecessary information. Simply stating "This is a thing, we will be by to see you about it." And we immediately get 30 emails "OMGWTF WHAT DO I DO? DO I NEED TO COME SEE YOU?"

Airsofters tend to be terrible at getting this idea.

The other great one is when you send out an idiot-proof email with step-by-step, screenshotted instructions, saying "you are going to need to do this shit; save this email." And then every time it comes up, the people involved ask you how to do it.

If you typed as fast as Sonic, you'd make a few mistakes too, Winky.

Yep. Both of these things. Every time.
every person who doesn't like an acquired taste always seems to think everyone who likes it is faking it. it should be an official fallacy.

I sent out a warning about viruses a few days ago and I immediately got about 15 phone calls asking if they had a virus.
By the 3rd I was just answering "No you do not have a virus, this was just a precautionary email because of incoming email our spam filter was picking up on" and hanging up.
not a doctor, not a lawyer, examples I use may not be fully researched so don't take out of context plz, don't @ me

I don't mince words anymore. Each of my replies starts with "As I clearly stated in my previous email,"
Thank you for the suggestions. There's an NRA range pretty close by and I'll stop by sometime to ask for advice on what kind of courses they have, but I figure doing research ahead of time is always good.

She's not an American, so if she gets injured shooting Obamacare she'll just be shipped home and they'll patch her up for free with her communist healthcare system.
And this isn't a date, just two people shooting the shit (and the targets lol gun pun). I was interested in going and I remembered she brought it up a while back so I asked and she's still interested.

There hasn't been a decent, popular sonic game since the mid-90s. How does this aesthetically-challenged religious kid even know about sonic to shit out these comics?
Thousands of hot, local singles are waiting to play at bubbulon.com.

I usually stop caring if people can't be bothered to read. If it's brought up in my reviews I'll let them know that 15+ calls and 5 minutes a call as I try to calm the fucking person down and explain what my email mean means I lost a lot of productivity in the day. Especially if it interrupts my work because two people call the first 10 minutes, then another, so on and so forth, I practically don't get any work done at all that day.

This is one I never bitch about, because I don't want people clicking "okay" on things they shouldn't be. I'd rather be getting called into offices a few extra times a week for a thirty-second conversation that "no, that's a genuine update," point, than have people click through "okay" to install things they really shouldn't be.
And it's really weird how naturally, like, probably most of the people on this board can spot spam sites and tell malware programs from healthy programs just by looking at them, without even thinking about it.

Do you really not know about the massive furry community that has congregated around Sonic?

It's only the handle basically that was 3-d printed. Most of it is steel, and not 3-d printed.
