Well, that depends on if the somethings are discrete or continuous.
Good point.
But if you decimate something enough, eventually you'd need a particle accelerator to do further decimation.
Time for some thrilling heroics.

Spike's Bitches 45: That sure as hell wasn't in the brochure.
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
You can't completely destroy something by decimating it.
Can you completely destroy something? How are you defining complete and destruction?
You can effectively destroy some things by decimating them, I'm sure. Perhaps not an Apple laptop, if you're Israeli airport security. But other things. But complete destruction is a tall order at the best of times.

Trust my rage
Hmm, I think in the Army, troop=soldier. I mean, I see what you all are saying but in the Army context, troops are the soldiers, not groups of soldiers. I always assumed NPR and such were borrowing the Army usage.
Speaking of troops, Joe and I had dinner with two war widows, both moms, ages 20 and 27. I enjoyed having dinner with them but feel so sad for what they have been through.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Is there a Wondermark about Spider-Man and the semi-colon?

Btw, Stephanie, I'm glad your dinner turned out okay. I'm sure they were glad to be in a warm, welcoming home during such a hard time.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Okay, I'm back. Was I asleep? For a little while. Actually, kind of a long while. But that's not the point. The point is new hair! [link]
If that doesn't work, it's also on fb.
