The fatality rate (per miles travelled) for helicopter travel is a fraction of the auto death rate.
vs.
The fatality rates PER MILE TRANSPORTED via helicopter is significantly higher than that via automotive.
Can either of you cite actual numbers and a source?
The supermarkets will use a lot more boxes than they currently are. They charge for them.
My biggest question is: now what are we going to use to throw out diapers?CFLs are on their way out.
Where are you paying $8 a bulb? Even when they’re not on sale they’re more like $3.
I find that about 90% of them do last, and they use less energy than CFL, so you still end up saving a bunch.
Also they generally look nicer than CFL.
+3
So you think you should ask their advice, but disregard it if you don’t like what they tell you.
Just because it affects you doesn’t mean others’ opinions aren’t important.
Certainly don’t follow gadolhadorah’s advice; she thinks a bochur shouldn’t be “bullied” by what his parents and rebbeim advise!
Sometimes it isn’t.
Can you make a mechanically powered car
You mean a bicycle?
This was interpreted as his saying that it was necessary to plant Torah in America.
You deliberately interpret it in a way to fit your anti kollel (always with a disclaimer not to digress) agenda.
CY, how do you explain kapparos for children and even for an unborn child?
Women’s Schar Torah comes by their helping their husband and sons go learn Torah.
They also get schar for learning, so not sure why that’s relevant here.
Rav Soloveichik not only allowed women to learn Gemara but inaugurated the bet midrash at Stern College.
Fits in with his overall approach to compromise in Yiddishkeit because he didn’t think it would survive in its traditional form. R’ Aharon proved him wrong, which he reportedly ended up admitting.
Bad idea
I didn’t write the laws.
You may be misunderstanding them.
DY: Yaakov many 3 on the street in front of the driveway. But it is only illegal for someone other than the homeowner.
You can’t block someone’s driveway during the day either.
I is against the law to park in a New York City driveway overnight. While on the books I have never heard of enforcement.
That doesn’t make sense. Why would it be illegal to park overnight in your own driveway?
They’re just making sure we’re human.
So you think reading novels such as Fatal Judgement makes people go OTD?
I can’t tell if you’re being serious or not.
I have no idea which book you’re talking about, but you can’t generalize that all Jewish books (I mean the ones published by and for frum people) are bad because you found a small minority which you found problematic.
Same way you can’t generalize that secular books are okay because you found a small minority that are clean.
so you dont believe people are influenced by what they read. nice.
Of course I do. I don’t think happy endings are sending people OTD.
Contrast that to Jewish novels of today which as a relative who was off the derech told me ”are a guidebook for going off the derech ”
That’s a new one – I’ve heard of OTD people blaming their parents and rebbeim; never Jewish novels.
Frankly, that’s that’s utter nonsense.
The theory of relativity is Masechas Yevomos.
Nice.
Similarly, even though he surely is not an anti-semite, but he makes himself look like one.
Looks like one? He’s probably the most openly pro Jewish public figure we’ve ever seen.
Calling the cops won’t generally get the car away from the driveway any faster. Until the cops come, give the ticket, and then the tow truck coming, can take many hours. Chances are the car will be moved by then.
You are over-analyzing things.
Maybe you have commitment issues?Try telling a cop or judge “yes I was speeding but lots of people speed and get away with it, why shouldn’t I”
If the law is being selectively enforced due to a pre-existing bias, you’d better believe it is supposed to get thrown out in court.
If a 65 mph speed limit was normally not enforced until 72mph, but it was shown that a particular minority group was routinely given tickets at 68, wouldn’t you object? It would be legal abuse.
This is what’s happening here, but the bias is political not racial.
You realize that years of the tefilos in question were never made, as you were telling Hashem the wrong thing.
What exactly does it mean to not be yotzei Kabbolas Shabbos?
Personally, I don’t get this inviting divorced women thing. In our Chassidishe community the women who are divorced eat at their own family’s Shabbos seudahs.
There are people who don’t live in your chassidishe community…
There are plenty of divorced women who don’t have parents
1. who are alive
2. who live locally
3. who are frum
4. who get along with them
5. etc.Of course, Joseph is wrong halachically. There’s no reason the merchant needs to assume that the transaction is without the explicit or implicit permission of the husband. If he would want to challenge the transaction, he would need to prove that it was outside of their normal spending patterns and was without permission, which is nearly impossible to do.
This is is all assuming she didn’t say איני נזונת ואיני עושה, in which case the whole thing doesn’t start.
I don’t know why YO feels the need to denigrate Ashkenazi minhagim.
Although I could probably take a guess…
When goyim see that yiddin beat thier own , what do u expect ?
That’s quite an anti-Semitic comment there.
AJ, only people like Joseph? Any mainstream frum Yid. However, not accepting their religious outlook doesn’t mean we do things to make them unsafe, yet that is what this board is apparently doing.
There is a different hechsher on schach which is not kosher l’chatchilah unless you put put it up in a very specific way.
The Eidah doesn’t go for such things, so yes, you’re better off looking for the Eidah hechsher even on schach.
Your anti-Ashkenazi bias is clouding your ability to think sensibly.
Matza ball – Hashem gave us b’chirat chofsheet. So an individual can make any decision they want. Though you can make the argument that any decision you make has been preordained.
No, you can’t make the argument that our choices are preordained, since we have bechirah.
Satmar vs. Lubavitch. Bobov vs. Bobov. Mitnagdim vs. Hasidim. Etc. Etc. It’s funny we never see this among Sephardim. Why is that?
Because most Satmar, Lubavitch, Bobov, Litvish, and Chassidim aren’t Sephardic.
Similar to the way you won’t find Mashadi vs. Tehrani among Ashkenazim.
I have no idea what goes into planning an event like this
Neither does anyone else here, but that doesn’t stop anyone from commenting.
Which leads to the question: are we supposed to love the people included in the brocha of V’lamalshinim?
Some of their clientele don’t have internet and I wouldn’t be surprised that this is the bulk of people that take the carriages
What is that supposed to mean?
Why, do you need to work at a yeshiva to have GroupMe?
GroupMe
Amazon prime is accelerating for anytime, so you are not mechaven for shabbos, and we have amira deamira from erev shabbos. the goy does it for his own benefit payed a fixed amount ahead of time should be mutar.
It’s muttar if the request can be fulfilled without doing melacha on Shabbos; normally assur if the request cannot be fulfilled without doing melacha on Shabbos (except in extenuating circumstances).
So for example, if you order something late Friday afternoon in the summer, so in order to deliver it by the 8 or 9pm promised delivery time, some melacha needs to be done on Shabbos, it would normally be prohibited.
DY, and a summer order on Friday where Amazon Prime guarantees next day delivery (or any time of the year when Shabbos ends after UPS/FedEx’s guaranteed delivery time)?
If it’s ordered late enough so that it can’t be delivered by the promised time without driving (or any melacha) ocurring on Shabbos, it would be assur barring an extenuating circumstance.
My point is that their compliance is far from 100%, so I wonder if that could be a mitigating factor.
Not really. The point is that you’re not allowed to ask them to do work for you on Shabbos. The fact that they won’t always listen to you doesn’t make it okay.
Even it is guaranteed, the person who brings the package to you is not the one you talked to, so this is an amira deamira before shabbos and by paying extra reflects a great need
If there isn’t actually a great need, paying extra doesn’t make it muttar. The Minchas Yitzchak said that not as a heter going forward, but rather as a limud z’chus for those who were sending packages for Shabbos delivery.
But if you order from Amazon on Friday with Amazon guaranteeing overnight delivery (or guaranteeing two-day delivery for a Thursday order), you know in advance that they are guaranteeing delivery on Shabbos.
If you order on Thursday for Saturday, they usually technically could deliver it before Shabbos, so their delivering it on Shabbos is “ada’ta d’nafsgei” so not a problem.
The same idea could be true in the winter even if ordering on Friday. They could start the process before Shabbos,band deliver it after Shabbos, and get the package to you on Motzaei Shabbos without having done any melacha on Shabbos. The fact that they might actually do melacha on Shabbos isn’t your concern in that case as well.
DY, you yourself said above that there is no garantee from the Post Office.
Right. The reason it’s muttar to mail an ordinary letter on erev Shabbos, even without there being a great need, is because you’re not asking for it to be delivered on Shabbos; not because it’s amirah l’amirah, which is only muttar in case of great need.
Also, the חת”ס isn’t mattir outright; he says אין ראיה לאסור כולי האי. It should also be noted that the case he was talking about was indeed one of great need.
