OK here’s a problem to see how good everyone is with this business
Here I have
1 + 2 + 3 – 4 + 5 + 6
Your job is to add parentheses () to the expression in order to get the smallest possible sum and tell me what it is!
August 10, 2014 7:42 pm at 7:42 pm in reply to: Girl I want to get engaged to wants me to change my Rabbi #1047121ari-freeParticipantSometimes it really is about style, not hashkafa. Some people don’t have EQ and say things that are taken the wrong way, even if they don’t mean it that way.
ari-freeParticipantA naturist only accepts what is usual and known to him. If you were to tell a naturist from 200 years ago that it is possible to have an airplane that flies and supports hundred of people, he would laugh at you. His rejection is not because of a deep understanding of how the world works. He really has no clue what is really possible.
ari-freeParticipantIf you want a scientific explanation, her body was probably rapidly fossilized or petrified from all the minerals dissolved in the warm water there.
ari-freeParticipantWe also don’t respond with names of Nobel prize winners, because we know they are Jewish.
ari-freeParticipantMaybe the solution is for everyone to become Satmar at 18, get married and once that’s taken care of, ‘convert’ all back to yeshivish.
ari-freeParticipantHavaya? (as in shem havaya)
ari-freeParticipantThere’s a big difference between accepting a ‘rationalist’ explanation as Torah vs insisting that everything must fit in accordance with a rationalist ideology or else it is to be dismissed.
ari-freeParticipantawww but they love you, they really love you
ari-freeParticipant“meno It’s unhealthy to be happy ALL the time “
I don’t know anyone who has that problem.
Most people are so far removed from being happy all the time that even if they think they’ve reached that level, they are really not even close.
ari-freeParticipantOf course there is a point…we have to have the right hargasha for what everyone in Israel is going through right now. That doesn’t mean you necessarily have to have a computer to know what’s going on, however.
ari-freeParticipantyes, but you get to eat meat during the Aseres so who cares
ari-freeParticipant(I doubt too much will happen on here, though…)
yeah, just more news about a war between Israel and Hamas… :/
ari-freeParticipantThe one good thing is that you really really look forward to Shabbos

RebYidd23 is such a superior person that we may waive the PEMDAS rules if he so chooses so that 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 X 0 = 0
July 29, 2014 1:55 am at 1:55 am in reply to: The correct pronunciation of "Expecto Patronum" #1066775ari-freeParticipantExpecto patronum sounds like something you would take for upset stomach and indigestion
July 28, 2014 5:07 am at 5:07 am in reply to: PAA's not-always-in-context Coffee Room Report Card Comments #1156495ari-freeParticipantPAA you know we all really love you
ari-freeParticipantMine was
“Practically perfect in every way”
ari-freeParticipantThink of it like…going to the Arizal’s mikva in Israel
ari-freeParticipantegg in ashes (Century egg) is a specialty of China. I’ll have the general tso tofu instead, thank you very much.
ari-freeParticipantmy Salmon teriyaki
salmon fillet with skin on
sesame seeds
poppy seeds
cayenne
soy sauce
Mirin rice wine
sesame oil
fresh black pepper
Optional ground orange and lemon peel
Broil fillet on both sides. I typically only broil the skinless side for 4 1/2 minutes so that you can cut it with a spoon. Not raw but not much more than that. But if you want to cook it well done, that’s up to you. The skin side should be until popped up and crispy. Maybe 3 minutes but watch so it doesn’t burn. It’s the best part!
Sauce
In a non stick pan, toast sesame and poppy seeds and some cayenne (not to be spicy but to balance the sweetness). Then put 2 part soy sauce for 1 part mirin and also a teaspoon of sesame oil. Add pepper and ground orange/lemon peel.
Cook sauce on high heat until it is thick but remember to be careful not to let it burn because of all the sugar in the mirin. Coat salmon with the teriyaki glaze.
(I will try to add more things to the sauce like crushed garlic and brown sugar and see how it goes)
July 27, 2014 3:35 am at 3:35 am in reply to: maybe we all should stop getting drunk on purim #1056705ari-freeParticipantOK I don’t know how much you drank over Purim but I would think you should be sober by now
ari-freeParticipanthmm maybe I should try rollerblading
ari-freeParticipant[Do Not Bump] This Thread
I agree.
ari-freeParticipantIf you are a policeman and not wearing a uniform, you’re not doing your job as a cop even if you know you have all the cop skills. People will think you’re on vacation and not able to protect them. By wearing a uniform, you show the world that you are here for them and ready to serve.
The same is true for a yeshiva guy. Nobody wears a hat in the privacy of their own home. It’s only for outside, to make a public statement that we are here as representatives of the yeshiva and that we are not on vacation.
ari-freeParticipantKids are forced. They didn’t vote for Hamas and those who did were probably threatened with death.
ari-freeParticipant“Though you hear the buzz whenever mosquitoes fly, it’s not actually caused by the wings beating against the air. There’s an organ at the base of the wings which scrapes and makes the sound when the wings move.”
ari-freeParticipantThere are lots of non Jews who support Israel. They are also banned.
July 22, 2014 11:55 pm at 11:55 pm in reply to: Kerry: U.S. will provide $47 million to help humanitarian situation in Gaza #1024496ari-freeParticipantWe all know this will go to build more rockets and tunnels
ari-freeParticipantBecause everyone drinks coffee when they talk about nothing important
July 18, 2014 8:34 am at 8:34 am in reply to: 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 – 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 x 0 = ? #1125445ari-freeParticipantIsn’t that the problem with Chrishianity? They believe 1+1+1 =1
July 18, 2014 3:22 am at 3:22 am in reply to: 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 – 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 x 0 = ? #1125443ari-freeParticipantWell, there is a mitzva to know that Hashem is echad and if you think echad means 2 or 3 because you just undid math…please check out the AZ thread.
ari-freeParticipantShe should’ve left one intact and placed a tiny hammer in the hand.
ari-freeParticipantNow someone asked an interesting question about pi. We all know it’s unpredictable 3.141592653589793238462643383279502884197169399375 1058209749445923078164062862089986280348253421170679821480865 13282306647 blablabla
But if we take it forever, would we be able to find say a million 9’s straight in a row, billion 8’s…every possible combination of numerical string?
ari-freeParticipantAmiga style would probably do very well in Israel.
ari-freeParticipantapushatayid “With the recent (in the last 1-2 years) decision by shadchanim to request photos along with shidduch profile the non “supermodels” are already behind the 8 ball. “
That may be but the shadchan is still looking at other factors before making an advisement. Whereas in a speed dating situation, not only will looks become the primary factor, you will have the not so perfect looking girls in the room feeling like the kids that always get picked last for the team.
ari-freeParticipantInfinite monkeys banging on infinite typewriters will end up with an infinite number of broken typewriters.
July 16, 2014 9:07 pm at 9:07 pm in reply to: 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 – 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 x 0 = ? #1125439ari-freeParticipantThe reason why this is hard for people is because while they aren’t mathematicians, they use calculators and cash registers to add things up as they come, all the time. “I have $1. I make $1 and I add it up. Then I spend one dollar and I subtract 1. Eventually it looks like 1+1-1+1+1…” They don’t wait; they calculate right away.
ari-freeParticipantIt would mean that girls that aren’t supermodels wouldn’t even have a chance. A looks first system would be a disaster.
July 14, 2014 9:23 pm at 9:23 pm in reply to: 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 – 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 x 0 = ? #1125436ari-freeParticipantPEMDAS is just a cute way to help you remember the rules. Like SOA CAH TOA for trig identities.
ari-freeParticipantIt’s one thing not to eat meat but to say I won’t wear tefilin because it comes from a shechted animal, I won’t have mezuza, I won’t have anything to do with writing a sefer Torah…that is a big problem.
July 14, 2014 1:51 am at 1:51 am in reply to: 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 – 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 x 0 = ? #1125433ari-freeParticipantSince there are no parentheses you multiply first. That is what ORDER of operations MEANS.
ari-freeParticipantMaybe some people should read and listen to what R’ Avigdor Miller said about democrats
ari-freeParticipant12) US out of Iraq in accordance with agreement Bush signed with Al-Maliki.
13) US *not* in Syria.
ISIS is in Iraq and Syria. Success!
July 13, 2014 10:18 pm at 10:18 pm in reply to: 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 – 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 x 0 = ? #1125431ari-freeParticipantnotwhouthinkiam That’s like saying if you have a book without a table of contents, go back to the end of the book and read backwards to the beginning.
ari-freeParticipantYeah we have a treaty with Russia. Russia gets to take over Ukraine and we get to lose our protection. Lovely
ari-freeParticipantugh don’t tell me Michelle is going to run…
ari-freeParticipantThe disease that shall not be named is actually a real disease.
ari-freeParticipantPlaygrounds are free to make up for the lack of climbable trees in the area
