Approaching his 25th anniversary on the court, he has made his rejection of such a role corrosively clear.

The result is that nearly all of Heller's humor, in both its corrosively satirical and impishly vaudevillian modes, is lost.

It's caused by the ethos of the modern university, which in the name of "critical thinking" encourages students to be detached and corrosively skeptical.

Faced with the unreason of corrosively competitive "tribes" — both states and sub-states — our nation stands little chance of achieving any sustained level of security.

It should also be obvious by now: if it takes a corrosively unequal future of work to maintain profit margins, maybe there needs to be a lot less profit.

Designing for Warmer Engagement It will take many years of study and debate to understand and to address the civic design flaws which help make social media so corrosively addictive.

The writing wasn't as seamless this time around — there were times when it felt as if the two were trying out stand-up routines on each other — but the best bits were still corrosively funny.

He wrote the screenplays for "Catch-22" (1970), an earnest but unwieldy adaptation, directed by Mr. Nichols, of Joseph Heller's corrosively comic antiwar novel; and for "Candy" (1968), which turned a novel by Terry Southern and Mason Hoffenberg — a riotous sendup of "Candide" set during the sexual revolution — into a leaden and star-studded bomb.

The fast-rising Ohio music journalist's second book of poems imports characters from, and jokes about, pop, rap, rock and soul ("The Ghost of Marvin Gaye"; "None of My Black Friends Want to Listen to Don't Stop Believin'") to animate his corrosively serious, hard-to-forget, lines about love, sex, hypocrisy, self-discovery, power, grief and violence.

A host of enablers have allowed the ugly face of Trump's racism to hide behind a populist mask, beginning with the Republican Party, which chose to make a luciferian bargain to advance their anti-choice, anti-gay and pro-business interests by boarding his corrosively populist bandwagon, and continuing with the media, both the right-wing platforms that have doggedly defended him and the mainstream ones that have, in John Avlon's words,"sugarcoated" Trump's toxic bigotry to date.

The President also asks for Maya's help in saving an African forest that is being considered for land development. During a dinner with the royalty of the forest, Maya discovers that the chief security for the President, has been corrosively been sabotaging the prince to sell the land and make millions. With Maya's help, the forest is saved.

Others are extremely rare in commercial use, such as scandium, lutetium, and thulium, and are therefore hard to source or are comparatively expensive. Some, such as caesium and fluorine, are too reactive and have restrictions on their shipping; others, such as gallium, react corrosively and very fast with aluminium (e.g., as structural material in aircraft). Some, such as phosphorus and iodine, are controlled due to use in clandestine chemistry.

However, Andy Gill of The Independent commented that "it's hard to tell whether the whiplash snares and crisp handclap grooves [...] are suited to [Blige's] needs here" and criticized "Blige's capitulation to R&B; cliché, with all women downtrodden and all men culpable, and a corrosively bling-driven worldview".Gill, Andy (February 1, 2008). "Album: Mary J Blige, Growing Pains (Geffen) - Reviews, Music - The Independent". The Independent. Retrieved on 2011-04-17.

Soviet small arms were usually of simple and robust construction, designed for use by poorly educated and sometimes poorly equipped soldiers. The SVT-38, in contrast, had been designed with weight- saving in mind, including its wood stock, receiver, and action. It was a gas- operated action with a gas-cylinder cup that was not readily accessible. It was complex by Soviet standards, and was not suited to handle corrosively- primed ammunition without frequent cleaning.

Military surplus .303 British ammunition that may be available often has corrosive primers, given the mass manufacture of the cartridge predates Commonwealth adoption of non-corrosive primers concurrent with the adoption of 7.62 NATO in 1955. There is no problem with using ammunition loaded with corrosive primers, providing that the gun is thoroughly cleaned after use to remove the corrosive salts. The safe method for all shooters of military surplus ammunition is to assume the cartridge is corrosively primed unless certain otherwise.

Lamproite pipes operate similarly to kimberlite pipes, except that the boiling water and volatile compounds contained in the magma act corrosively on the overlying rock, resulting in a broader cone of eviscerated rock (the ejection of this rock also forms a tuff ring, like kimberlite eruptions). This broad cone is then filled with volcanic ash and materials. Finally, the degassed magma is pushed upward, filling the cone. The result is a funnel shaped deposit of volcanic material (both solidified magma, and ejecta) which appears mostly flat from the surface.

Photochemical etching (center), compared to reactive ion etching (bottom) Photochemical machining (PCM), also known as photochemical milling or photo etching, is a chemical milling process used to fabricate sheet metal components using a photoresist and etchants to corrosively machine away selected areas. This process emerged in the 1960s as an offshoot of the printed circuit board industry. Photo etching can produce highly complex parts with very fine detail accurately and economically. This process can offer economical alternatives to stamping, punching, laser or water jet cutting, or wire electrical discharge machining (EDM) for thin gauge precision parts.

A manual impact driver with screwdriver bits and adapters Impact driver guide set with bits A manual impact driver is a tool that delivers a strong, sudden rotational force and forward thrust when struck on the back with a hammer. It is often used by mechanics to loosen larger screws (bolts) and nuts that are corrosively "frozen" or over-torqued. The direction can also be reversed for situations where screws have to be tightened with torque greater than a screwdriver can reasonably provide. Manual impact drivers consist of a heavy outer sleeve that surrounds an inner core that is splined to it.

Neil Spencer in The Observer wrote, "The air of reverence hangs heavily, with Williams's droll humour and proto-rockabilly style largely absent [...] An entertaining exercise, though of Hank's celebrated yodel there is, alas, no sign." Entertainment Weekly described the artist performances as "original melodies, some too wan for the strength of the lyrics, which range from the deeply romantic to the corrosively aggressive." The Daily Telegraph rated the album four stars out of five with a favorable review, saying, "It is rare that any posthumous release becomes an essential part of an artist’s canon, and the very simplicity of Williams’s oeuvre mitigates against declaring classic status for lovingly crafted yet essentially minor songs. But the album is a beauty, none the less, the care put into it confirming Williams’s exalted position in the tower of song".
