Is whether the general public should have access to weapons, not about the choice of means for law enforcement to kill somebody. And I believe it has been debated and answered plenty.

As a consultant and bespoke solutions provider for anything ranging from managed networking solutions to full-stack bespoke application development I spend a substantial amount of time on the road, together with my loyal backpack (which also enjoys trekking and hiking with me) and a Pelican case where I pack my gear, including but not limited to laptops, routers, power adapters, cables, tools — you get the picture.
The backpack, weighing in at an average of 10-15 kilos (~20-30lb for those of you loyal to the Empire), so it spends most of its time on the floor of public transit vehicles, airports and venue floors, inevitably absorbing generous amounts of lifeforms spanning all domains, in addition to stale bits of food and drink which guests inevitably leave behind... Likewise, everything comes back home at the end of the day, sometimes dumped in the nearest patch of unoccupied floor space, which is usually in the vicinity of my bed (I live in Hong Kong, so there's not much room anyway) or on any of a number of bits of furniture, including the bed, depending on the day:-)
Given my personal interest in biology (particularly immunology, latest developments anti-viral and anti-microbial agents and how it all works I couldn't help giving some introspect to what must be a very complex ecosystem permeating the fabric of the said backpack.
Assuming most of us don't tend to subject our bags, backpacks or suitcases to washing, at least as regularly as clothes, my conclusion is that a lot of those lifeforms, including all sorts of pathogens, including non-endemic ones, especially if you're a frequent traveler — does anyone have an idea whether there are potential health risks involved with being in constant contact with tools and bags that carry them...
For instance, I rarely wash hands before meals (unless it involves the use of bare hands to put food in my mouth) and I always walk barefoot around the house, where guests as well as myself sometimes walk around in my outside shoes as well.
I've been getting recurrent flares of Helicobacter Pylori induced gastritis and stomach ulcers, and I'm wondering whether there is more making its way inside our bodies from what could be an overly laid back approach to personal hygiene given the above...
Advance apologies for not being more concise in asking the question — but at least there's no FA to read;) What's your take and thanks!
At the mind-boggling 110,000 pph (interesting choice of units for measuring a quantity of gas, btw) I don't know if this will be the atmospheric version of the Deep Water Horizon...
There would probably be less damage overall if you'd just bought it straight from Gazprom...
Sad:(
I mean, they can peek billions of years into the past to the edge of the visible universe, image nebulae and supernovae, figure out that this start has in fact several layers - but we never see a direct fucking image? What's the catch here?!
Everyone, as in EVERYONE, would be better off without the War on Drugs.
I'm sure you all know this...
