–

Are they permitted by the WADA?

How early can next year’s pruzbul be done – immediately after Rosh Hashana?

You can but there’s no point, it only covers existing debts and previous debts are already covered by this year’s pruzbul (if you made one).

I’ve never got a good answer to why there are so many laundry detergents but so few hand soaps with a hechsher.

YW Fan – The least you could have done was change the wording so it isn’t so obvious you copied it from elsewhere (my guess is Wikipedia).

Where did you get those numbers from?

To answer your question, I would never sign a contract for $250/wk.

This isn’t the forum to determine who is the proper owner of the jewelry, It boils down to whether the gift was conditional or not.

One thing I can say is that double payment is only required in cases which can be best translated as burglary, not robbery or extortion (and only when found guilty by a Beth Din).

catch yourself – ticketed cars don’t normally get towed unless they are specifically in a tow zone.

In most municipalities, cars blocking traffic can be towed regardless if it is a tow away zone.

It doesn’t pass my smell test. Is there any enforcement on the agreement? If they appreciate more than $50 can the straw buyer simply not follow through? And if they don’t appreciate the straw buyer will probably be stuck with the coins.

The US Mint has a good idea of what the demand for numismatic items are and unless limited by legislation can produce more.

I wonder why I don’t see gallon containers of Chalav Yisroel in local stores. Consumers might save money if gallons were sold and this might encourage some to use it.

It would just make any spoilage issues worse. Most consumers wouldn’t buy the gallons, however WIC beneficiaries would be compelled to get the gallon size driving families that aren’t Makpid on CY to switch their WIC benefits to CS brands.

Why would you value the recommendation of someone who doesn’t always drink beer?

The ones with the stickers are from ???? ??? ????? ?????, which sounds like there’s a special production which is personally supervised.

But is anything done differently? He already stated that they are Kosher Lemehadrin. Do the stickers have any additional claims that are absent in the letter?

To me his claim “They are Kosher” is as trustworthy as “I was there and they are Kosher”.

there’s no problem of dina d’malchusa in the above situations where the law exempts fair use copying, as previously described.

Fair use is to help determine if what you are doing with the work is primarily using or primarily copying. All of this is irrelevant if you don’t have the rights to use it.

There is a specific law that washington needs to be on the $1 bill. All the other bills could be changed

I couldn’t find such a law. Although there are quite detailed laws when it comes to coins, all I found on paper money design is the following:

I do not think it’s true that people have the right to their own pictures. A picture of yourself isn’t you. I have the right to take a picture of what I see. If what I see is you, I can take a picture.

There is no right to take a photo in a private venue.

It’s hard to argue privacy when there over 500 guests

Most concerts and sports events are also private venues regardless of the number in attendance.

My big question is regarding restaurants that will not allow any outside food due to kashruth concerns but the bottled drinks they serve aren’t covered by the establishment’s hechsher.

1) Can another guest’s outside non-kosher food affect the kosher status of my food?

2) Can another guest’s non-supervised drink affect the supervised status of my food?

I never said I wanted to eat it, I actually refuse to eat Foie Gros and I have no desire to eat locusts. But who am I to tell someone else to eat

I’m surprised that veal was discussed quite early in this thread but it took so long for foie gras to be mentioned.

What use is the random-factor, if it is a certainty that one pulse will connect? It must be mathematically guaranteed to turn the light on, or else it wouldn’t sell. If so, does it make any difference at all that some pulses won’t go through?

My answer for this question is going to be based more on electronics than the halacha.

It seems to me that the randomness issue is simply a red herring. Computers don’t act randomly they simply follow instructions, you can see this in just about any programming language’s random function if you generate random numbers starting with the same initial seed value. What computers can do is simulate randomness to a user that doesn’t have access to the seed value. Therefore if you write a program to generate a series of random numbers those numbers are predetermined and not truly random. The next logical step is that if the switch’s wait cycle actually ends, it was predetermined to end, just that the mathematical formula to determine if and when is too complex for a mere human to know if and when it would in fact end.

BTW, I did read the patent.

Almost every city in America has local speed limits around 35 mph.

This is no longer the case, The larger cities have mostly lowered their default speed limits to 30 and some (like NYC) to 25.

Now, is any pizza made with oil and eggs? No, it is not. It is made with probably a tablespoon and half of oil per cup of water. And no eggs.

Normally pizza does not contain eggs, but eggs can be used to make the dough ready quicker. Maybe they were using eggs last night.

I still don’t see what difference eggs would make that the toppings wouldn’t

How do you determine the nationality of a car? I can easily make the case that Saab and Volvo are Chinese and Jaguar is Indian. If you insist that you are correct than you’d have to agree that the BMW SUVs are American (and the Lexus RX is Canadian).

(is the calculation about the age based on when the CD player was invented, or when it first became popular?)

When it became available for purchase.

My rav told he that Rav Soloveitchik z’tz’l ate such cheese.

No, what R’ Soloveitchik allegedly ate was a new variety that had never been manufactured with animal rennet.

The accelerometer (or more likely the gyroscope) is used to predict when the user is about to look at the screen allowing it to conserve energy when it’s not being looked at.

I haven’t done enough research into fitness trackers to discuss that aspect.

This is a conversation we can have any time past, present, or future. The vast majority of songs are what I’d call fun songs, songs that aren’t meant to and won’t pass the test of time. When we think of old songs, we primarily think of the good ones because the bad ones have mostly been forgotten. Even today’s songs most will eventually be forgotten and a few quality ones will be remembered for future generations to talk of the good songs of the 2010s.

If you hashtagposter can wait until 2023 to get from EWR to Brooklyn, you’ll have a simpler time, as they are commencing to build extension for the Path train to Newark Airport in 2018, and hope to have it running by 2023.

By that time, the fares will have increased.
