At least you found out before arriving at the hall.
$3 for seltzer? Ganovim.
It may be because this thread is so big, that the error is occurring? Perhaps best to start a Hangman II thread to continue.
What is the $3 fee for?
I should also add that Zenni’s additional options for the glasses are significantly less expensive than the competition. Getting thinner lenses (i.e. 1.61 or 1.67, etc.) or tinted lenses ($5) or Anti-Reflection Coating ($5) or photochromic or polarized lenses is significantly less than any other shop I know of, online or brick and mortar. (AR coating can literally cost about $50 alone elsewhere, tinting at least $20, etc.) And Zenni includes anti-scratch and UV protection free in all glasses.
They manufacturer the glasses in China, which is why it is so inexpensive. But the other companies also manufacturer their frames in China, although many of them still produce the lenses in U.S. labs.
Mod 80 & ICOT-
I just bought a pair from both Zenni and Coastal Contacts. Both are very good. Coastal Contacts seems to run a free pair offer quite frequently. (You can find their coupon code, and when it is running, on their facebook page.) It is, like noted above, free except for approximately $15 shipping. Zenni has glasses for $7 (and up through $45) which include both the frame and standard lenses. They add $5 for shipping. So the total cost with Zenni is $12. This is Zenni’s regular pricing available all the time.
It seems to me that while Zenni makes a decent glasses (both frame and lenses), the Coastal Contacts glasses are a better quality and perhaps a greater selection of fashionable frames (including the frames eligible for the free offer.) The limitation of Coastal is that you can only use this pricing offer one time (while Zenni is always available.) Also note Zenni can take up to two weeks to receive (usually closer to one week) while Coastal is usually under one week to receive.
As far as the thinness of the lens, Zenni offers what they call a 1.57 lens while Coastal offers a standard 1.5 polycarb lens. In theory the 1.57 should be thinner, but for whatever reason it seems that my 1.5 lens from Coastal is slightly thinner than the 1.57 lens I received from Zenni.
In short, they are both very good deals, but the Zenni offer is always available for any quantity while the Coastal is a one-time deal that you need to snatch when they run their (frequent) promotions.
The point you were getting at is that another name for The Internet is The Great “Escape”.
Also note, posting to this thread seems to always give a “Server Error”… bb-post.php
But it seems the post does get through.
While the current game has been dormant in an unsolved status for over a year, we need not worry since ICOT had the great foresight to build in the answer into the post. So even if ICOT’s memory would no longer serve to recall the word after this long a pause, we are not out of luck.
So adding in the following yet unfilled guesses to those previously filled in:
N by oomis1105 (last year)
S by simchallthetime (last year)
O by Tums (last year)
T by brotherofurs (today)
We have:
_ O N _ _ A T _ L A T _ O N S
(Sorry, can’t do the fancy ASCII graphics.)
This must have been the longest game pause time in CR history. Carry on.
YehudaTzvi: You were given a psak to not change. There’s no reason for you to continue wondering. Just stick to it.
BTW, I didn’t follow what you described about your mother’s side. They are geirim? If so, how does she have machzorim from Germany?
LITOVA:
Boys have the same exact problem. If they want to learn full-time but can’t afford to.
mamash: Why not do the same as your Rov does (daven Ashkenaz when not at the amud)?
Because America doesn’t need their help. They need America’s help.
You missed popa’s point apy.
“the minhag of our fathers is [equivalent to] Torah” (Tosafos ????? 20 beis s.v. nifsal). Pesachim 50 rules that a minhag is binding upon all later generations.
Do you think your concerns were not considered by the rabbonim? Do you think something changed in the modern era?
The difference is that the Gra instituted that, not you.
There’s no justification for such a mishmash.
Three bounces during Kedusha?
My previous point was about a girl who crossed the line.
Okay, but it (how I defined it) is how the term is utilized in the frum community.
Okay, if that is what is being talked about it makes a difference if we are talking about a boy or a girl. If it is a girl, she gets a different Kesubah and the Choson must know about it beforehand, otherwise the marriage (even if takes place) may be invalid retroactively.
The prime definition of an at-risk child, is a child is who is at-risk of going OTD. They are at-risk of losing their Olam Haboa.
What, exactly, is “irreversible”?
ovktd: Please explain and expand on your comment.

chsapiro: Why didn’t you try the crying routine? 😉
twisted: You have a right to take the smoker to beis din.
y4l: That’s incorrect. Rav Moshe always insisted on separate seating at his children’s weddings. At most of the weddings it was completely separate. At some the other side (mechutanim i.e. Tendler) had some mixed seating for their side.
The accused’s lawyers are third-rate nincompoops who have never tried a murder case before. Even the Judge criticized having such newbies try this case. They are about as cheap as they come. I also read somewhere they are trying it pro bono, probably to build up their own experience at the expense of the defendant. And in any event, everyone is entitled to lawyers, and the Judge said he would have given the accused free legal counsel with better experience, paid by the government, if he didn’t have these jokers already on the case.
You should have a problem with someone smoking.
Sam: That doesn’t answer my question.
Toi: What was your issue?
That addresses the legal aspect, but I still question the ?????? aspect.
Aside the ?????? issue, on what basis would a man be responsible for the criminal actions of his 35 year old adult son, in halacha or secular law?
Just to note, the excerpt on the YWN link above didn’t quote the full original source, which indicates the suit was also against the perp’s father.
It’s like when the Yidden were Olah Regel three times a year. A Chosid goes to his Rebbe.
How is it permissible to take the father to ??????? (I’m not talking about the perp, rather his father.)
If there was tanayim, there is a legal obligation to get married.
Sam: Why would the halacha be different in Eretz Yisroel than in America?
The name for Tehilim is now “Chaim Reuven Dovid ben Chava Leah”. The name Chaim was added.
Do you want babysitters to bring up your children? Or do you want to bring up your children?
Is this that neighbors tree that you warned him about 2 years ago?
Does Kabeid Es Avicha V’es Eemecha apply to in-laws?
While it’s assur to hold one’s wife’s hand in the street, I haven’t heard a source why one can’t hold one’s daughter’s hand in the street.
Perhaps an adult daughter is different.
