NIST still maintains their Telephone Time-of-Day Service at (303)499-7111 and their Hawaii service at (808)335-4363 . Both my computer and phone were accurate to within 1 second on their default settings.
They also play a 440Hz signal 23 times a day so it’s useful for instrument tuning but to get the best signal you need a non-VOIP POTS line.

What’s wrong with that? Are hot dogs and liquor excluded from Maaser Sheni?

The Star-K uses 600 Centipoise (cP) as the cutoff point. SAE 40 motor oil is about 600 cP if you want to do your own testing.

Is it legal to drive a car with no working horn?
Not in New York
New York Vehicle and Traffic Law § 375. Equipment
1. (a) Every motor vehicle, operated or driven upon the public highways of the state, shall be provided with adequate brakes and steering mechanism in good working order and sufficient to control such vehicle at all times when the same is in use, and a suitable and adequate horn or other device for signaling, which horn or device shall produce a sound sufficiently loud to serve as a danger warning but shall not be used other than as a reasonable warning nor be unnecessarily loud or harsh.It is interesting to note that horns are addressed in paragraph 1 but turn signals aren’t discussed until paragraph 18

… when co-pilot calls out “rotate”. That’s the “point of no return”.
Rotate (or Vr) is defined as “The speed at which the pilot begins to apply control inputs to cause the aircraft nose to pitch up, after which it will leave the ground.” I think what you really meant is V1 which is defined as “The speed beyond which the takeoff should no longer be aborted.”
Point of no Return, or the proper term “Point of Safe Return” is a completely different concept.

In the chassidic groups of Ropschitz and Tzanz, they made a brocho of Shehakol on potatoes all year, but בורא פרי האדמה on Pesach. I don’t get that one at all.
Ashkenazim make a Brocho of Borei Atzai Besamim on myrtle leaves all week long but say Borei Minai Besamim in Havdalah. I don’t get that one at all.

What’s the issue some shittas have with Chabad mikvas that they hold it isn’t kosher?
No one holds that it’s not kosher.
The only issue I know of is that the Mikvah is located below the Bor Tvilah so it’s impossible to verify that the water in the Mikvah hasn’t been displaced by dirt.

The story I heard about Rav Yakov Kaminecki is that he was giving a class explaining the reasoning behind each minhag. When asked by a student what he does, he responded with “what my father did”.

I decided to look up the quote and found that it was never said by Aristotle, it is from Will Durant as a description of Aristotle’s philosophy. Apparently a retiring football player mistakenly thought it was Aristotle’s quote and mentioned it in his retirement speech and since then it has been attributed to Aristotle.

It doesn’t seem likely to be Rav Reuven Grozovsky. By the time of his death, the New York Kosher meat industry was no longer controlled by organized crime. Additionally I don’t think he was a big enough threat for someone to put a hit on him.
All that is known is that he was in a hit-and-run and the driver was never apprehended.
Do they get oil changes?
Only if they have 4-cycle engines.
The small engines used in golf carts typically used to be 2-cycle engines. To comply with newer emissions standards many carts now use 4-cycle engines.
What makes you think that fruit from the first (planted) tree is Assur?
“Baal Hatanya V’Shulchan Aruch”
Do you mean: “Baal Hatanya v’Shulchan Aruch HaRav”?
No, the title is just “Shulchan Aruch”. Since it is being mentioned together with the Tanya there is no need to further differentiate it from Maran’s Shulchan Aruch.
With a single sink does it matter whether or not it can be Kashered?
Anyone know the zip code? It’s in the Mekor Baruch neighborhood, in Jerusalem.
If you’re sending from the United States, it’s better to leave the postal code off. Some sorting machines may mistake it for a domestic zip code.
We’re getting contradictory stories here. Did the stores want lower wholesale costs or higher retail costs?
To the public they claim they want lower wholesale costs but that doesn’t make sense. (Imagine them saying “Expenses have gone up throughout our operations so publishers need to lower their prices”)
Family relationships can be complicated. I know of someone who was a BT and had a brother who was going to get intermarried. her mother told her she had better be at that wedding or she was going to get cut off
So did Donald threaten to cut off Ivanka if Jared wasn’t Mesader Kidushin for Eric and Lara?
Start with regular grains and grow more using only CY milk. Eventually the non-CY portion becomes Batul. (How many batches you’ll need to go through is a question for your LOR or Kashrus agency.)
No, it’s in North Carolina, just outside of Raleigh.
Checking a Mezuzah should be less expensive than purchasing a new one (assuming that you are dealing with the same scribe in both cases).
Once a thread is derailed can I go back to the original topic?
The NY Times article has the following:
What we should be discussing is whether one should be allowed to create their own religious beliefs or if only the existing established beliefs should be protected.
Back to derailing the topic. Once someone asked me to help them make a case that vaccinations were against their religious beliefs. I declined.
Izhbitza is Radzin. And everything I know about Radzin (at least how it’s practiced today) has nothing to do with Open Orthodoxy.
And he is the Rosh Yeshiva. Says so on all the documents. Rav Aaron Kotler, CEO. CEO (in America) means he is in charge, no matter who gives or doesn’t give shiur.
Would you say that Richard Joel is the Rosh Yeshiva of RIETS?
If you hold the titular roshei yeshiva of BMG to be “Gedolim” (one is on the “Moetzes Gedolei HaTorah”), then the Gedolim approve of the development.
Do you have any information regarding any Gedolim without a potential financial interest?
Most states eventually sell the contents of safe deposit boxes at auction. The proceeds are handled like abandoned accounts.
Probably would have been better to use gofundme.
He’s looking for a single sponsor to share the celebration, not a group of sponsors.
The story specifically used a Samaritan because they were at odds with the Pharisees. He could have used as an example an Israelite who wasn’t worried about becoming Tamei Meis but chose a Samaritan to make a point.
It’s sometimes labeled “short ribs”.
It’s butchered differently. Flanken is cut perpendicular to the bones, if it’s just labeled as “short ribs” it’s likely cut English style which is parallel to the bones.
What your butcher does will likely depend on the season and day of the week.
There is no such thing as taking back anything on the internet, Someone saved it and has it somewhere
It’s on the wayback machine.
I read in other places that there were questions if some or even most of the story was false.
The YWN article stated:
MA, There are religious Jews in other time zones as well. The site is up but there’s no shopping cart or checkout available. (I’m not sure about order history.)
Chabad’s website is completely inaccessible which can be inconvenient if you’re on the west coast and need to find last minute details on the local branch.
There have been a number of splits and mergers since then. Ralston’s cold cereal trademarks (most notably Chex and Cookie Crisp) were sold to General Mills when they exited the retail market. Today Ralston’s cold cereal lineup is pretty much limited to foodservice and private labels.
I still think the Americans were very cruel to the Indians.
It wasn’t one-sided.
It is interesting to note that Declaration of Independence contains the following:
He has excited domestic insurrections amongst us, and has endeavoured to bring on the inhabitants of our frontiers, the merciless Indian Savages whose known rule of warfare, is an undistinguished destruction of all ages, sexes and conditions.
It was made by Ralston Cereals. I don’t know who was behind their “KD”. They made a number of interesting themed cereals but many of them had marshmallows and don’t have the “K”.
Joseph, Once selected as an elector any interference from the state on the elector’s vote would be subject to federal laws.
About kashrus it’s hard to say anything. The Soncino group were graduates of “Jews’ College of London,” definitely not yeshivah-grade people. They kept Shabbos, but ….
If you have Hashkafic issues with the Soncino press, I’d suggest you say away from anything from the Romm publishing house.
Does anybody know which tape has Rabbi Avigdor Miller tz”l’s view on Thanksgiving?
I’m not sure if you’re still looking but it is on tape #529. I think it’s in the Q&A section, not the main speech.
All I am saying is that there is no way for the publisher to know if the ink is or isn’t soy or vegetable based. The only one who knows is the manufacturer and the publisher doesn’t buy it directly from them.
Even if the publishers buy ink through a middleman they still know who the manufacturer is and have the necessary SDSs, not having SDSs is an OSHA (and possibly fire code) violation.
Save the safety tips for a different time, or keep it private.
No, now is the best time for safety tips. Isolated safety tips are usually ignored.
While what happened this time is definitely a freak occurrence, the design of this cubby (and many others like it), leads to items falling out.
My quote was from the organic gardening blog
Maybe that’s why people who insist organic produce get a bad reputation.
I couldn’t find that blog but I traced your quote back to a Pakistani article. While I can’t vouch for the inks used in Pakistan, the inks used in the USA are safe to compost.
Did Starbucks change the formulation of the Caramel Drizzle?
The Spring Valley code is quite clear.
It shall be a violation of this Article for any person to consume any alcoholic beverage on any public land or shopping center parking lot within the Village of Spring Valley or to have in his possession any open container containing any alcoholic beverage for the purpose of consumption of the same on any public land or shopping center parking lot within the Village of Spring Valley by either himself or another person.
Interestingly, Public Lands is defined as “Any highway, street, sidewalk, lot, park, playground or shopping center parking lot in the Village of Spring Valley.” yet they explicitly included the wording “shopping center parking lot” in the law.

Question please: Do the ice cream scoopers not need to be immersed in a mikvah with a bracha before use?
Immersion is only needed if they are owned by a Jew. Utensils that require immersion but haven’t been, cannot be eaten from directly but don’t make the food unkosher.
As mentioned, in NYC Rabbi Mehlman ONLY certifies the DD part of the store and NOT BR.
How does that work with the BR utensils? A KOA certified DD location I know of does not sell any of the non-certified BR flavors.
Geordie613 is right. The Telshe Yeshiva belonged to the community, not the Bloch family. The American Yeshiva was a new Yeshiva that followed the same path as the original.
