It's like coming in to argue that a german shepard isn't a dog anymore once he attains german shepard status.
I'm not the one being obtuse.
Either the word "bomb" means a superset group that includes a subgroup set called "missiles", or it's not. I didn't start this pedantic thread with a snarky comment about the idea of a bomb going skyward pretending missiles aren't bombs for no reason.

A missile is a powered bomb?

SAMs are a thing.
So, yes, as opposed the specific example you created, and others.

I like to think this guy probably knew the pond in question was only a foot or so deep where he was - doesn't look very big. He might not have feared falling in.

>What should I say when I want to make a statement about all french people collectively?
In your question you literally just did it without saying the more dehumanizing "the French". So... "French people" by your own example. "All french people"... "Some french people"... just a few ways to not use "the".

I find it an indicator of someone's other ideas. if they say "republicans" but also say "the democrats", they really give away their hand on many positions without even knowing it. Maybe it's a dogwhistle and I'm supposed to pick up on that... but I think most don't know they do it, just part of their programming.

So in other words, fleas and rats. got it. I think which directly caused the infection with bites/feces is irrelevant.
I think we could also call it, "poor hygiene" or "general hygiene not sufficient enough to support the population of the world at the time".

The suggestion was two magnets, one on either side.
(also there are different types of SS, and some of those types are ferromagnetic).

>I suppose I could move the garbage disposal button to under the cabinet but honestly I'd rather keep it where it is and drill a new hole.
I know someone else replied this, but it's safer for that switch to live below the cabinet. Mine's easy to get to, you gotta open the door, and it's a standard room style switch.

I'm pretty glad you posted this. It meant the amount of time I thought "yeah, i should move the switch to above the counter!!" lasted only about 20 seconds.

>If I just measure according to the rotations of the spool being spooled onto, this wouldn't at all consider the spool getting thicker with the thread already on it.
Is the thread always the same thickness?
Measure the thread some other way, wind that thread onto the spool noting how many turns it turned, and use that from then on.
Run some tests with thread of known length -> "X turns does what I want it to do" -> Do it X turns from then on.

Think of what?
Think of a project and say, "this is enough power for a different country, but not our country"?

True (ie, arrows aren't bombs but are missiles). And I wondered if someone would mention this when I said the German Shepard thing.
It's also true that some missile are bombs, and some aren't. So far, we're talking about the ones that blow up. Of all missiles that are bombs, they're bombs (which is tautological).
No one claimed they dropped missiles that weren't bombs. Which... is kind of a case in point for the entire (totally absurd, lol) argument.
