Yes, that M203 40mm grenade launcher.

I was in Iraq 2007-09. On one of our first patrols, a LT ordered one of his platoon members to patrol with a round in the chamber. Patrol went off without any problems, they returned to the outpost safely. Anyway, fast forward a couple of hours and this soldier was cleaning his weapons and accidentally fired a live HE grenade into his thigh. These rounds generally have to rotate about 8 times to arm before they can explode, so it just embedded into his thigh about 3 inches and stopped. Luckily, the Blackhawk pilot of the medevac had balls of steel and decided to fly him out with unexploded ordinance inside the patient. The grenade was removed and the soldier came back a couple of weeks later, just in time to get a field grade article 15 (punishment). If that round would have missed his leg and bounced around the room, the results would have been terrifyingly different.

The thing Musk is discovering, but without realizing it, is that deaths are recorded by states while Social Security is run by the feds. And these things don't work together. Administering births and deaths federally would increase efficiency but blah blah federalism.

I mean it's probably not going to happen for me anyway but I think I kinda want to have children. The problem is that I cannot stop thinking how selfish that is. What if my children end up hating their lives and wish they were never born? I really wish I never encountered anti-natalism.

Hello, my name is [Your Name], and I'm a concerned citizen calling from [Your City/State].

I'm calling to express my strong opposition to Congresswoman Claudia Tenney's proposal to make Donald Trump's birthday a federal holiday. I find it troubling that a sitting Congresswoman would prioritize such a divisive and politically charged gesture, especially when there are far more pressing issues facing our country.

Rather than focusing on the needs of everyday Americans, this move seems like a waste of time and resources. We need to be addressing real issues like healthcare, education, and economic inequality—not turning a birthday into a national celebration for a controversial figure. No other President has had their birthday made into a federal holiday, and Donald Trump does not need to be the first. Its high time to stop deifying our leaders.

I urge Congresswoman Tenney to reconsider this misguided proposal and to redirect her efforts toward solutions that truly serve the best interests of her constituents and the nation as a whole. Thank you for taking my call, and I hope my concerns are taken seriously.

Thank you, and have a great day.

I have something I need to tell you

Watch Bram Stokers Dracula or Egger's Nosferartu to see my point.

Both storied also suggest the young women were into the creepy vampire before they were of legal age. I'm not going to talk about the fact that Orlok is technically a corpse.
