also. he may well himself have been purple, seeing that his diet consisted of primarily purple food. ( like the salmon gets its color from ingesting certain algae)
“ I said Mr. Purple People Eater, what’s your line?
And he said, “Eatin’ purple people and it sure is fine.”his nonspecific answer without further mention of other parameters implies that he eats apparently any kind of purple people. the other adjectives apply to the eater himself. not a rigorous proof but highly suggestive.

both laws and manufacturing processes have changed significantly over the past few years. The issue is very complex and still in flux. many older psakim may not be relied upon anymore.
if you wish to be careful in this matter you would be best advised to contact the cRc. or at least check their website.
also, although all bourbons used to be free of sherry cask concerns that is no longer necessarily the case.
or you can of course rely on HaRav Miller.you want to know what modern “orthodoxy” is?
just look at thE OUs official policy statement in Rabbi Hoffmans latest discussion on YWN:
““It is the OU’s unequivocal position that support for, or celebration of, halachically proscribed conduct is fundamentally inappropriate.”
the support and celebration of blatant open homosexuality is:”INAPPROPRIATE” !?
is this the Torah of Hashem!?of course he left. his perception is that he was being force-fed a whole dangerous system of lies, absurdities and foolishness. if he was, then he was honest and courageous to leave, and of course he has an axe to grind.
It would seem that your Rebbe, tz’l, was a great Talmid Chochom, Leader, and Tzaddik. I wasn’t referring to him.
my impression. its only an impression. but its very strong. is that what is occurring here is that there are sincere followers who are revealing to us the drivel that they have been fervently and powerfully and cleverly inculcated in. they innocently believe it to be true and wish to share it.
then there are the cognitively intelligent leaders who are trying to shut them up because it has been geposkined from the top to present a carefully constructed facade of sheker to the rest of the world.personally, already in the previous threads my eyes were opened as to the foundations and nature of chabad. i thank you though for giving support to my new elucidated understanding. i always suspected as much but it is important that you and the others have confirmed it so clearly.
there’s some great advice here. but sometimes if you’re lucky you dont even have to call and ask if they are reliable. some kashrus agencies have a website you can check to see if they’re reliable!
for example:
“The Triangle K symbol is a patented and trademarked logo that signifies “kashrut” as defined by the most stringent of Orthodox Jewish law. The organization offers its rabbinical supervision and certification on any ingredient or product that meets the strictest criteria of what makes such items kosher.
Triangle K is a symbol of integrity representing the most trusted and reliable name in strict rabbinical food certification.”recommended by Rabbi Eliezer Eidlitz of Kosher Quest
if you’re doing this because you wish to please Hashem, then you are doing a most wonderful thing. be strong.
dovid i think you are not convinced because i suspect you sense a different reason. i think what you are sensing but not clearly able to articulate is the following. we who work on and have established some degree of Emunah are nevertheless in exile and steeped in the ways of the goyim. we sometimes forget why we do things and do them out of habit. we sometimes drift away from Hashem. we sometimes feel uncomfortable mentioning Hashem for fear we’ll look foolish. the other reasons and calculations given here are also true. but our humanness and lackings are always there also. maybe thats what is bothering you
you were wise to be cautious. the picture redleg described is extremely superficial. between a man and a woman the slightest raise of an eyebrow or a hint of a smile can cause an earthquake of emotion in the other person. the next time you saw this boy you would already have begun a relationship. we may not be cognizant of this, but our Chochomim know.
lightbrite. it is clear to me you have a very sensitive spirit. and a very open and accepting mind.
nowadays our understanding and sensitivity to the higher spiritual world has been deadened and hidden. trying to grasp it is trying to grasp Hashem. dont let the Yetzer Ha Rah stop you.
i think youre also selling chametz thats adhering to or absorbed into your dishes, pots, etc.
this one doesnt use filters. its about the same tircha as making instant coffee.
but yes k cups, 15 times more expensive and 20 times less versatile, are more convenient.
Clark’s nutcracker (Nucifraga columbiana) stores 22,000 to 33,000 nuts of the whitebark pine in up to 2700 locations over an area of over 100 square miles, and REMEMBERS where almost 70% of them were placed.(it may be that it remembers ALL of the locations,but some landmarks may have moved)
let me repeat that:
22,000 to 33,000 nuts in 2700 locations over an area of over 100 square miles, and REMEMBERS!
The seeds are usually buried in a hole in the ground that the jay digs just before depositing the seeds. One to ten seeds are placed in the hole and the caches are scattered over a large area.
The hole is covered over and then a leaf, stone, twig, or scrap of litter is placed over the hole to camouflage it. The bird flies away and will not return to the hole until it is ready to retrieve the seeds.
How Birds Remember Cache Locations
Multiple experiments performed with captive birds in Russell Balda’s lab at Northern Arizona University have demonstrated they can remember caching locations by noting the positions of stones, shrubs, and other landmarks in the area.
In the wild, nutcrackers will fly directly to a cache location even if the ground, trees, and shrubs are covered with several feet of snow, dig down to the precise location of the seeds, and retrieve them.
do a google image search for archer farms k cup. the ou is on the lower front of the box. i just tried it. happened to notice that the caramel and pumpkin had a hechsher. probably they all do. i didnt look further.
this is a useful technique for online food purchases
although previously i felt the kanois of MA was a useful counterweight to the deeply ingrained goyish perspective so ubiquitous here, at this point it is clear to me that his presence should no longer be tolerated.
dont know. sounds good though.
its not headquartered in your browser. removing it from your browser is just temporary. it will be back. run malwarebytes.
its not a virus. but its a powerful malicious adware program. you need to get rid of it. it didnt get by norton. it was downloaded and installed with your permission as part of a (semihidden) package deal that was bundled with some other free software you downloaded.
download and run the free “malwarebytes”. should get rid of it.
You don’t need a court.
We will judge you right here.
And we don’t even need evidence.
Supposition and speculation are quite sufficient for us to come to a firm negative judgement.
Just thought I’d point that out.
But in truth I think it won’t do much at all to solve the problem.
And I don’t think it’s nice.
I find it sad that shules would put people in danger by jamming cell phone signals.
They’re not putting anyone in danger. They are causing a possible delay in the response to a potential danger which is extremely infrequent.
Adaraba, they are trying to remove people from a very real, severe, and ever present eternal danger.
Well, technically accurate anyway.
I withdraw. ZD is correct. Sort of. They are illegal for individuals.
Although their use is generally overlooked, like jaywalking here.
Any organization can easily get a permit if they want but no one bothers.
So they tell me.
His ubiquitous Google finger finally finds something accurate.
I don’t know.
The cRc says: “RAISINS. Acceptable Without Certification. All domestic are acceptable even without a hechsher. Does not need to be checked for insect infestation”
StarK: Raisins. no checking required.
ChofK doesn’t mention checking. Just that they should be stored in a closed container.
What a most fine Brocha!
I can see you put a lot of thought into it.
Thank you.
As Zahavasdad pointed, the gedolim say what the askanim want them to say.
Shame on you both.
Me too.
So most of the comments regarding the us law aspect to the issue are moot.
Joseph, are these jammers being installed in Shuls in the us, where they are illegal, or in Israel where they are legal?
Sparkly, look up “ubiquitin”
I didn’t ask.
Although I did make an extremely funny joke.
That’s ok sparkly. The explanation is complex and on a need to know basis. And I don’t need to know.
Anymore.
“If you can draw a resonance structure, the lone pair is delocalized. If you cannot, it is localized.”
So the physical state of localization is dependent on my particular artistic ability!
That’s spookier than the double slit experiment!
Meno. Depends on the density of the rock.
Exaggerated case: Rock the size of an aspirin. Weighs 100 lbs. will push the boat deep into the water. When removed from the boat a large volume of boat ( say 20 gallons) will no longer displace water causing a lowering of the water level. This will be only minimally compensated for by an increase in the water level equal to the volume of the rock.
If you enjoy extreme cases here’s a potentially actual (though not practical) case. Take a teaspoon worth of a neutron star. You will need an extremely strong and massive boat to make this work. A teaspoon of a neutron star weighs about a billion tons. That would cause a ginormous lowering of the water level when superman lifts it up from the boat. But it will cause a displacement when thrown into the ocean only equal to its minuscule volume.
“Soncino press has the only english translation of the Zohar”
Other than the 4 volume hardcover pritzker edition which Amazon lists as being published by Stanford university press. And the first volume of which used to be in my possession.
I quoted Feynman above. See my first post (I think).
I just found this one when he was asked about Relativity:
“….but after people read the paper a lot of people understood the theory of relativity in some way or other, certainly more than twelve. On the other hand, I think I can safely say that nobody understands quantum mechanics.”
Maybe you’ll tell me he wasn’t including Heisenberg’s Principle in these statements. I think he was but I have no definitive knowledge with which to argue that point.
” There is a rational explanation for the Uncertainty Principle and it is well understood among physicists. It’s just far to complicated…..”
Yes there is. But it has nothing whatsoever to do with what you brought as the explanation. It has nothing to do with particle interactions.
The explanation is as I stated earlier: an electron has no location or momentum to be pinpointed. It is as you pointed out a map of probabilities of certain behaviors that may be manifested at certain times and locations.
They understand this and the mathematical manipulation of it well.
But no one, not just us, claims to have a rational grasp of it. or explanation of it in terms of human experience.
And when it comes to the observers effect of the DS experiment, they only have a slew of vastly differing metaphysical highly theoretical constructs to even touch it.
I don’t wish to take up anymore time on this. It’s quite unimportant to me.
What is important is that Sparkly maintain her correct amazement at what Physics is constantly uncovering.
It is NOT logical Sparkly. It is NOT rational. We are at a COMPLETE loss to explain it. That’s my message to you regardless of what else you will hear on this thread or elsewhere. That’s what I would personally like to accomplish here.
Your misunderstanding is common. As you can see from zeros mistaken explanation of the Heisenberg Principle, which also has to do with “observation”. See my earlier post on this if interested
Yeserbius: up until you said: “The sensors give off photons (or other equivalent sub-atomic particles) which interact with the wave, forcing it to stop being a wave and start being a particle.” you were correct. You are positing that there is a physical element to the observation that is causing the particle aspect of the photon to come into existence.
Unless my understanding of the implications of the experimental data are flawed, this is not the case. When the photon stream is being observed, those particles that have NOT interacted with anything will exhibit particle behavior and characteristics, not only the sampling of photons that have necessarily undergone interaction.
When the photon stream in general is not being observed then particle nature is not exhibited in the end result on the screen.
In other words, it would come out from the DS experiment that IF YOU COULD observe each photon with ZERO interaction or influence, ( say by some form of mental telepathy or time shifting) STILL the observer effect would be present in full.
It’s not a matter of being confusing to understand. It’s a matter of it not admitting to any rational understanding, as our rational understanding is today. That why physicists themselves have turned to “metaphysical nonsense” to explain it
And you also aren’t claiming that: the Heisenberg Principle can be explained by the fact of the necessary interaction of particles that occurs during observation?
“I wasn’t talking about the double slit experiment.”
I see, so then you DONT have an explanation of the observer effect in the experiment?
Or if you do, can you please explain it again, or copy from a previous explanation? thanks.
I think you are correct Meno. Both in understanding what zero has said. And another reason as to why he is wrong.
zero, you are correct that the exact position and velocity (more correctly momentum) cannot be SIMILTANEOUSLY determined precisely for an individual electron, even theoretically. This is not because of interaction with other particles but because in their essential existence an electron simply doesn’t have a definite existing simultaneous position and momentum! It is a matter of probabilities.
I don’t claim to really understand this Heisenberg principle. Physicists are apparently unable to grasp it either though they can certainly describe and use it.
The “observation” that occurs during that particular aspect of the double slit experiment refers to photons that are gathered by a sensor. But the OTHER photons that “miss” the sensor are the ones that behave differently in a situation of observation wherein their fellow photons are captured.
The process of observation itself has no known physical interaction with the particles being studied. THAT is the wonder of the experiment.
And photons don’t hit or deflect other photons like little balls.
Meno: Zero meant that ambient photos from light sources in the room bounce off the photons and enter the eye or camera. He didn’t mean the eye emits photons. (although the eye does actually emit an insignificant amount of photons). Of course the observation referred to here is neither by eye nor camera.
