It is by no means sufficient that an officer should be capable. …
He should be as well a gentleman of liberal education, refined manners,
punctilious courtesy, and the nicest sense of personal honor. …
No meritorious act of a subordinate should escape his attention,
even if the reward be only one word of approval. Conversely,
he should not be blind to a single fault in any subordinate.
-John Paul Jones, September 14, 1775,
from a letter to the naval committee of
the North American insurrectionistsIs there a way to respond to each post separately?
No. : (<e>I wish there was a book of stories of people on medicine who got married.
There’s no tension to a story if you know the outcome, and I
don’t think anyone wants to read 20 similar stories in a row.
(“Boy and girl get married” isn’t a very compelling storyline, either.)Nu, Joseph?
(The double post was because I wasn’t seeing my posts go through.)Why are you surfing in public?
Because I often have access only via a public network.
Wouldn’t it be better to be in public, anyway? (“Before a man sins…”)There is a shadchan, Mrs. Chava Most, whose focus is
on shidduchim involving people with issues of any kind.I was going to post a time-travel joke, but you didn’t like it.
Nice one. I laughed out loud in public. : )
I found myself trying to convince family members that
the campaign was a joke (last week, before the video).You can actually be alright when you leave, but have more of
the alcohol you drank enter your bloodstream along the way.
(Thanks, NoiseVerb.)Many if not most charities are associated with some religion,
and are not required to state so in every ad campaign.True, but it’s probably safe to assume that those charities don’t
focus on giving specifically to people of their religion, and don’t
have the explicit goal of getting people to practice their religion.A 3rd thing – those charities probably aren’t using
their funds to provide religious services (etc).Aren’t all recipes by non-Jews for meat/poultry associated with tarfus?
…wear a shell under a sleeveless dress (that
besides lacking sleeves is otherwise tznius)?I’ve seen objections stated to that sort of thing.
Differences between these cases – you’re still wearing that
same article of clothing, but you’re not still eating that food.
(There are also arguments to be made about original intentions.).

.(Don’t take any of this too seriously.)
I’m pretty confident that those actually are Rav Miller’s
words – I think I’ve seen or heard them before.(Test post)
…tell my parents right away with the first pregnancy but it’s okay to tell later on
with the others since parents are worried at first about potential fertility problems.Is the window before people worry about fertility problems so short now?
I think username prompts are generally assumed to be for screen names.
I heard a story a little while ago of a sleeping person’s finger
being used to open a phone.And no one responds to LessChumras, of course.
Joseph, why would the principle change?
(The number is already better – why would how much better matter?)Rav Avigdor Miller quoted Rav Yerucham Levovitz (the Mirrer Mashgiach)
as telling the men of the Mirrer Yeshiva that they could not understand
the greatness of their grandmothers (or was it great-grandmothers?).Joseph, why would the principle change because
of the numbers being better than in the first case?Are you still here?
There’s probably not enough information available to us to determine
whether there was in fact an issue of yichud, so no comment from me.No, but it might be a sign of being someone who doesn’t care
so much about material things (or doesn’t have much money).Why? Isn’t “It’s dangerous and has to be used only as needed and
with great care” still the opinion of the majority of rabbonim?Do you know how cloning is done?
(Your clone would not be “considered you.” That should be obvious.)
Does freezing it kill any bacteria present?
Do people really expound seriously on the literal meaning of Chad Gadya,
which is not held by anyone to be something that actually happened?
(Also, the chain isn’t necessarily explainable in terms of wrong or right.)Plus, all the songs on STEP IT UP, how can I get them audio?
By buying them the usual way. The game is not meant to include
the songs, the total cost of which is probably more than the game’s.Thought police.
“Foodie” seems a bad translation of “garg’ron.”
Emphasis on your last 4 words.
I’ve seen videos in which parents ask their toddler this question
and the child responds by putting the 1 man on the track with
the others and running them all over.Wrong world.
You can try asking Google.
