    DY, thank you for sharing. The milk in the photo that you shared has added Vitamin A.

    Here’s a glimpse of what provoked me to ask this thread’s question:

    “In the state of Florida, although local laws specify that the legal definition of skim milk is milk which does not contain cream, the state ruled in a lawsuit filed by the Ocheesee Creamery that skim milk which does not contain the vitamins found in whole milk falls under the definition of an “imitation milk product”, and cannot be marketed as skim milk because it is ‘nutritionally inferior'” (Wiki).

    If 1% milk doesn’t have added Vitamin A, is it still skim milk?

    Yes, something can be stupid without being annoying.

    What’s more, stupid can also be entertaining.

    I’m going with the professor is going off the incorrect sources, based on what I believe from Judaism here.

    The professor studied Latin, and he is an Old English anguage scholar. He is likely coming from a secular NT angle.

    Yesterday while listening to his audiobook, he was talking about mistranslations in literature can change reality.

    For example, mistranslating the ray of light coming from Moses as “horns” meant that for 100s of years, Moses was painted or created with horns*.

    Just see Michaelangelo’s Moses sculpture — by the time Michaelangelo created it, the mistranslation was caught and people knew Moses didn’t have horns, but Michaelangelo still depicted him with horns because he was following the traditional lineage of his predecessors’ (Professor D).

    Interesting, thank you DY.

    So the professor was talking about how the miracle came from the Greeks, which showed the Greek superiority.

    However, the event wasn’t a miracle to be attributed to Greek culture, at least not in the manner described by the professor.

    Omgosh!!! From Consumer Reports:

    Your sunroofs too! Eeks 🌞

    “An exploding sunroof might sound like a freak occurrence, but a Consumer Reports investigation has found that it’s not. These incidents have happened in every month of the year in every part of the country, in vehicles from all over the world; they have occurred on interstates, on country roads, and even while parked in driveways.” (CR consumer reports)

    Lol RebYidd23; I’m cracking up here… and perfect timing because it’s all cozy on my copper pillowcase.

    Btw, I brought the copper pillowcase to my dermatologist to check out. She said that there are studies that show how copper improves the skin, but copper is really expensive. It was the first time that she’s heard of a copper pillowcase, and it sounds “kind of gimmicky.”

    It doesn’t sound like Takes2-2tango is judging, just saying that the incidents caught his or her attention.

    Maybe saying “odd” may have sounded like it was saying that the occurrences happening in 6 months were more frequent (guessing that was the notion) than usual.

    Asking the question let Joseph step in and offer a clearer perspective.

    If true, then perhaps the reporting on the events was more frequent, but the incident rates of the unfortunate and unexpected deaths were still in proportion of the greater Satmar body of Rosh Hakools.

    Here’s one listed for $895, and it’s out in someone’s driveway! Solid wood antique. That’s a lot of money, and no assurances that the humidity or insects didn’t get to it. Where is it being stored in the meantime?

    Yes, I know that people buy furniture in garage sales and such. Just a lot of money, and I don’t feel comfortable knowing that the furniture, which I cannot wipe down like glass or formica, was chilling (or not chilling) outdoors.

    Am I the only one here?

    It was negotiable. The piece was priced higher, and the seller went down to $500.

    When I went to Chabad Hebrew school growing up, my Rebbetzin taught me that clowns have a very important tafkid.

    Clowns bring joy to the world. They are humble, and hide their faces. They invest their lives in making people happy.

    Now… don’t clowns throw pies?
