Contemporary common usage is what defines a word for the period.

It's quite common when someone gets fixated that they know what the problem is when they don't.

I'm sure they'll have some sealing mechanism or heat-sealed. I'm pretty sure such a bag will not be designed with an volatile/reactive glue in mind.

The bag material you require is made from polyethylene terephthalate, which is low odour and antistatic.

Is there a simple acid-alkali indicator test the OP could get to test if it's acidic?

If you start with 22000 genes, and in each generation backwards, it halves until you are left with one gene shared, your identifiable genetic relationship with that line ends. in about 14-15 generations. This is how I understood it but could be wrong. Assuming a gene is some indivisible unit of heredity.

I happened to read not long ago that ordinary plastic is permeable to gas, and electronics that need to be stored for any time gas-free are put in that metallized plastic stuff.

How do you know it's the glue? Gas exchange can occur through the plastic if left long enough.

OK.

Yes. I think you move through the fairly quickly to start but gaps increase. Bob Hope of getting abover Supernerd... it's in the hundreds of thousands I think.

They are based on no. of posts.

Eh? Enthalpy said, to which I assumed you was replying: "For an energy source as polluting as uranium fission"

Locally it's pretty hardcore.. I read just yesterday, after Dounray reactor is dismantled, the land won't be usable for 300 years or so.

I thought we were on about lost the second election. Quite possibly... hopefully.

I must have remembered wrong. Probably said only been three in the last forty years, starting with Ford, then Carter, HW Bush

I think it goes, as mentioned here many times, that there are serious, systemic-societal issues there, which sets the US police forces up to where they are today.

This is the problem with routine arming of officers, they can become complacent/lazy and fall back on their weapons in all stop situations. I also think it alienates the public on a general level,, rendering them more inaccessible and less personable in routine situations.

Yes, the outcome of a lot of US police interventions seems predestined to come to a violent conclusion.

They can also bring in officers from outside a force to review the events.

Yes, in less dangerous situations. I specifically mentioned 'armed police'. If they are present and there is a risk to life, they will take out those people out if they do not quickly comply. That's policy, as far as I'm aware because they have to make split-second decisions. The protection of the general public is paramount.

On a sobering note, mentioned by some election statistician, a sitting President hasn't lost their second election for forty years...

It is a normal part of the sleep pattern for your body to be relaxed/paralysed whilst asleep. It is waking up before the muscle relaxants have dissipated that is the issue. It could be something mundane, like being too hot in bed or nightmares that causes a person to wakeup too soon.

In the UK, if you shoot at someone or have a knife in the presence of armed police and don't follow their instructions, you will be shot dead.... telling you to disarm iimmediately is as much 'de-escalation' as you are going to get. Those people there are asking too much, especially given the prevalence of firearms there.

This makes my head hurt but that would be a non-sequitur with your second statement, which I agree with... without evidence. By 'is a function of' I mean it is 'dependent on' or 'arises from' something else. I could be using 'function' in a different/non-standard way to you.
