According to Wikipedia:
“Climate models suggest that the ignition of 100 firestorms, each comparable in intensity to that observed in Hiroshima in 1945, could produce a “small” nuclear winter…the cumulative products of 100 of these firestorms could cool the global climate by approximately 1 °C (1.8 °F), largely eliminating the magnitude of anthropogenic global warming for two to three years.”
So yeah, I’d say probably not.
MenoParticipantIf you dropped four nuclear missiles on the planet Earth, would that not cause global climate change?
Probably not
MenoParticipantThanks, that’s what we did.
We were actually standing, and it was over the phone, but the idea is the same.
MenoParticipantIs attractive the same as a tractor?
MenoParticipantHarvey was also a dud, in comparison to the mabul.
MenoParticipantHow did your windows hold up?
September 12, 2017 8:54 am at 8:54 am in reply to: The Casualties of Yiddish in Litvishe Chadorim #1361566MenoParticipantIkr. Lol
MenoParticipantSorry, I was gonna give more details but I wasn’t sure which details people would consider to be relevant, and also I just didn’t feel like writing it all out.
The arrangement is that we bring our kids to the other person’s house and the babysitter watches all the kids there. We each pay based on the number of hours that our kids are there, but it’s pretty much a fixed amount per week.
I should point out that although the babysitter generally watches the kids at the other people’s house, there’s no reason she can’t watch our kids at at our house on any particular day.

Lol, sounds like their reading, writing, and grammar is really bad.
MenoParticipantIt’s actually pretty easy. You just type “stay” a whole bunch of times.

September 11, 2017 5:41 pm at 5:41 pm in reply to: The Casualties of Yiddish in Litvishe Chadorim #1361277MenoParticipantAnd that one cheider ULY has optional “English” after school witch U have to pay for and there they just learn how to read and write English
How much does it cost?
MenoParticipantI once saw a recipe on a bottle of Heinz ketchup for cookies made with ketchup and peanut butter.
MenoParticipantWhat’s app with WhatsApp?
Hahahaha I crack myself up
MenoParticipantProbably not. The pressure outside your window is the same whether or not your neighbors’ windows are broken.
Have a good shabbos. Hatzlacha
MenoParticipantThe strangest? By far?
MenoParticipantAh, so a person can have “sensory issues,” but a person can’t be “sensory”.
That’s what I thought.
MenoParticipanthence?
MenoParticipantHow could a person be “sensory”?
MenoParticipantAlso all the iPods and shmiPods
MenoParticipantThe word nuclear means “relating to a nucleus”.
Thus, both “nuclear family” and “nuclear weapon” are appropriate uses of the word.
“Nuclear hurricane” is not.
MenoParticipantThis one bothers me more than most.
Like when people put something in the microwave and they call it “nuking”
MenoParticipantCopy and paste onto your wall to spread the word
How would that spread the word? Also wouldn’t the glue leave a residue?
MenoParticipantParents who set a bad example by using apostrophes incorrectly
MenoParticipantWaze tells you about real time traffic and dangers in the road (Like Potholes and shredded tires). a Garman GPS doesnt do that.
I started using Waze for this reason as I thought it would be helpful. Over about a month of use I could not find one instance in which the warnings were actually helpful. I just found it to be irritating and cluttered.
The worst is when people report potholes on the BQE. I could be sitting in California and tell you that there are potholes on the BQE.
MenoParticipantI’ll hold my welcome until I see the folgers
MenoParticipantFolgers?
I only drink Folgers
MenoParticipantMy skin thinks it’s January.
Well then all the plastic bags and zipties in the world won’t help you. Your skin needs some type of psychotherapy.
September 6, 2017 2:07 pm at 2:07 pm in reply to: Is It Just Me, Or Are Frum Homes Becoming ‘Colder’ And More Like Offices? #1356786MenoParticipantIt’s because of all the technology the kids are using these days, like the ipods and the shmipods and the email
MenoParticipantInverted the taste?
What does an upside-down grape taste like?
September 5, 2017 3:35 pm at 3:35 pm in reply to: Is It Just Me, Or Are Frum Homes Becoming ‘Colder’ And More Like Offices? #1355411MenoParticipantI don’t understand the big deal. Trends change. Do you think the Yidden had carpeting and chatchkes in the midbar?
Why is any of this surprising?
September 5, 2017 2:55 pm at 2:55 pm in reply to: Is It Just Me, Or Are Frum Homes Becoming ‘Colder’ And More Like Offices? #1355162MenoParticipantIf you’re not happy with your house I’d be more than willing to take it off your hands.
MenoParticipantOr you can ask a third way:
Why do boys’ schools start a week early, while girls’ schools start a week late?
September 5, 2017 11:17 am at 11:17 am in reply to: Is Loud Music At Weddings Causing The Shidduch Crisis? #1354906MenoParticipantExactly!
Since the music is so loud, the guys end up yelling so that the girls can hear them, but the girls think the guys are just obnoxious, and they assume all guys are like that, and they decide to never get married.
Do I get some kind of shadchanus gelt for this?
MenoParticipantThey make standalone GPS navigation units. They were actually quite common a few years ago, and they still sell them. They are also useful in places where you have no phone service.
MenoParticipantWhat’s wrong with a quartz wrist watch? They’re more accurate than most mechanical pocket watches.
MenoParticipantAt my wedding my father walked around handing out ear plugs.
And then of course no one ended up needing them because the band was so awesome.
MenoParticipantHow about you start of by explaining what you think it is, and then we’ll explain why that’s ridiculous.
MenoParticipantMenoParticipantThis thread is WWIII
MenoParticipantGoldilocks,
Apples and oranges. One has nothing to do with the other.
MenoParticipantLowerourtuition,
This is completely different. This is not a typo. The number was deliberately calculated, typed, printed, and then placed on the water, and then it sat there for long enough to generate social media backlash. That’s four places where the “mistake” should have been noticed. I can understand one mistake, but not four in a row.
MenoParticipantDaasYochid has been a teenager for like 15 years
MenoParticipantLowerourtuition,
Do you honestly think an employee typed the words “$42.96 per pack” and placed it on top of the water without noticing that the price seemed a bit high?
August 30, 2017 10:37 pm at 10:37 pm in reply to: Would a live YNW Coffee Room get-together interest you? #1351788MenoParticipantWhatever
MenoParticipantiacisrmma,
I have no idea what you’re talking about. Are you telling me that the person who typed up those signs made an honest mistake by charging $42?
MenoParticipantAccording to Best Buy, it was one store and instead of putting the case price they multiplied the individual bottle price buy the number of bottles in the case.
I don’t buy it.
No one thought twice before putting a $42 price tag on a case of water? The signs were clearly typed up on regular paper, it’s not like someone made an error with the computer system.
MenoParticipantYou wouldnt complain if they were selling cases for $5
You would if you saw someone carrying the last 12 cases out of the store as you were walking in.
The free market does not take ethics into account.
In light of what Gamanit said, it would seem that the free market is the most ethical way of doing it.
