That's the plan, basically. 1000 of 5.56, another 1000 of 9mm, but an absolutely stupid amount of .22LR for the Glock 44.
Shit's cheap, and fun to shoot, so I might as well just buy a truckfull of it.

Finally found time to take the AR-15 to the range and work with the instructor I've been using for the handguns.
Aaaaand while handguns are nice and all, this thing is the most fun I've had in a LONG time.
Of course I now have to scramble and decide how much ammo to buy before tariffs screw that up making this super costly (most of the cheap but not shit ammo is from SK, BR, and CZ, and even US-based stuff is made with materials from not-here).
But on the bright side, I finally got myself properly medicated, and holy shit is that fucking amazing. I've known I've had ADHD my whole life, but due the lovely bonus of also being bipolar and having a really really awful reaction to any sort of stimulant (even something mild like caffiene) it's always just kinda not been treated and ignored.
Yeah well, current pdoc wrote a script for guanfacine and it's like my whole brain suddenly just decided to make sense and behave itself. Stopped shit like leg twitches, and biting my nails, and running through crowds dodging people instead of walking a normal pace.
Also started finishing projects, being able to go to the store without a list and not forgetting a bunch of stuff, and generally just being a normal person.
Be careful, someone will be along shortly to tell you how horrible of a person you are for saying you don't think everyone on Reddit should move over.
(I agree, and would say that if we capture the good 5% of the Reddit user base and not the people who clearly have cognitive issues, we're going to have the best thing since uh, Reddit.)
I'm sorry, but is that porn or a Tinder profile?
....so I can get all the Pussy in Bio in one place now?
100% this.
If you did a venn diagram of 'Worst possible implementation' and 'What Mastodon Did' you'd just have a circle.
Don't let it connect to the wifi/internet?
I mean, sure, you have to do the SD card shuffle, but it'll guarantee you don't end up having to deal with this.
If you have a more advanced set of network hardware (which it doesn't sound like you do) you could add a firewall rule to block traffic from the LAN IP of the printer, or for something like Unifi, simply block internet access entirely. But, even then, if you screw it up now or in the future, surprise software updates will happen.
And they also had the turn-into-a-zombie plague event when Wrath launched, too.
As I recall, that mostly just made everyone rage because the assholes running around spreading it everywhere were just annoying the crap out of everyone and the general thought is they just needed to fuck off and find something else to do.
Or, basically, Covid.
CU and the lack of federal public funding for elections (by which I mean the state funds the campaigns of those who want federal offices) basically resulted in the US political class ending up fully in the pocket of the corporations.
That's what absolutely destroyed our ability to elect anyone other than what the corporate doners want, and thus you end up with nothing but corporate-friendly politicians, and thus a whole bunch of people who have no problem with facism and well, here we are.
I seem to clearly remember a story from the Bible about this, but perhaps they've simply skipped that part during their reading?
I had a discussion about using the Slashdot style voting rather than the Reddit style.
It not only has the additional tag, it has the max "upvote" display limit of 5, and the display code will expand and promote the best rated comments, while hiding the garbage.
I think comments on most forums would benefit from there being no 'big upvote' number to chase, as well as making the highest rated comments in a thread of say, 200, more obvious.

See, I've never liked that 'go back in time and tweak things to make a small change' line of thought. There's too many ways you can either make something worse happen (Trump gets drafted in Vietnam, but manages to spend the entire time as file clerk and comes back and now gets to hang the 'I'm a veteran!' flag on his hat) or it won't accomplish what you meant.
Basically, if you had a time machine and were trying to stop future events, there's really only one approach you should be considering.
