Stupid radio reports.

ABC radio news did a report in which they described "explosives used for bomb making". As if this was distinct from what other kinds of explosives? This was at 5:04 am today.

Is this like bullets used for shooting? What a bunch of hyperbolic dipshits.

In addition to the usual construction and mining uses, explosives are used for welding: Introduction to Explosive Welding


Of course, I don't really expect journalists to be very familiar with any of that.
