When writing a CSS media query, is there any way you can specify multiple conditions with "OR" logic?
I'm attempting to do something like this:
/* This doesn't work */
@media screen and (max-width: 995px OR max-height: 700px) {
...
}

Use a comma to specify two (or more) different rules:
@media screen and (max-width: 995px),
screen and (max-height: 700px) {
...
}
From
Commas are used to combine multiple media queries into a single rule. Each query in a comma-separated list is treated separately from the others. Thus, if any of the queries in a list is true, the entire media statement returns true. In other words, lists behave like a logical or operator.

The quick answer.
Separate rules with commas:
@media handheld, (min-width: 650px), (orientation: landscape) { ... }
The long answer.
There's a lot here, but I've tried to make it information dense, not just fluffy writing. It's been a good chance to learn myself! Take the time to systematically read though and I hope it will be helpful.
Media Queries
Media queries essentially are used in web design to create device- or situation-specific browsing experiences; this is done using the @media declaration within a page's CSS. This can be used to display a webpage differently under a large number of circumstances: whether you are on a tablet or TV with different aspect ratios, whether your device has a color or black-and-white screen, or, perhaps most frequently, when a user changes the size of their browser or switches between browsing devices with varying screen sizes (very generally speaking, designing like this is referred to as Responsive Web Design)
