Which Nashville shooting?

RPG comes from Ручной Противотанковый Гранатомёт
Meaning handheld, antitank, grenade launcher.

An M203 or an mk19 is a grenade launcher. An AT-4 or RPG-7 is a rocket or missile launcher, firing a warhead.

Do you see what I mean?

A grenade is a fragmentation device. And yes these are technically grenade launchers, but they're specifically anti-armor, rocket or missile launchers.

Are you referring to an RPG-7?

To be clear, I'm not saying it's technically incorrect, but it's an old description. We don't call calculators adding machines anymore either.

Not a grenade. Why are these listed as such? It's an anti-armor weapon.

Nope, is apparently a superstitious thing, but I have a feeling it's roots are in some masculinity BS.

That looks more like an AT4 or RPG style weapon than a grenade launcher to me.

Then again he's maybe the best person to explain the hard work it took to move away from meth and focus his time, money, and energy on something fruitful.

I agree, but putting the time to make space and pull out study material has to have the value of learning enough. I do actually study regularly, but we can't pretend it doesn't require significant energy and dedication to produce a result.

I get the bad luck superstition, but handing someone a closed knife is just safer. The idea that handing someone an open knife shows more respect is stupid.
I've had someone hand me an open knife and accidentally stab me with it. The whole point of it closing is to reduce the risk of getting cut.

There's a really weird thing in the Southeastern US where people will hand you pocketknives with the blade out always and you can't hand it back closed. I don't understand it.

 

He prefers deep in the woods, but will settle for the bushes on weekdays.

I purchased an e-bike which was advertised as just needing the batteries replaced. The li-ion batteries had been sitting dead for months. Once I got the battery removed it was clear that was not the case. You can see the hole where the plastic melted from this component overheating on the board. The burnt one is the same as those in the center of this photo.

What is it and how do I determine the correct replacement?
