MenoParticipant
car or other motor vehicle
Motorcycle? School bus?
MenoParticipantUch not this again.
Someone should just make a table of ages which are appropriate to date/marry each other and sticky it to the front of the CR.
MenoParticipantSo it’s only worth it if you have a bunch of kids (I’m not sure the exact number, but it’s some number above the average). Otherwise it’s cheaper to buy life insurance.
But if all of the members have a bunch of kids, there wouldn’t be enough money in the pot.
So the only way this works is through donations (or people being convinced that it makes sense to join).
So basically it’s a tzedakah where the recipients contribute some and don’t feel like they’re receiving tzedakah (not that I have a problem with that, just trying to clarify what’s going on)
MenoParticipantSo the way I see it there are two reasons someone would become a member/contribute:
1) they can’t afford life insurance
2) they are doing it for tzedakahAlso I question whether this is an acceptable use of maaser money
MenoParticipantCan a terminally ill person become a member?
MenoParticipantWhat if someone wants more than $100,000 per kid?
MenoParticipantI have participated in The Ungame.
I wouldn’t say I’ve played it, as it is not a game at all.
MenoParticipantI make yogurt, but I am by no means a cheerleader, so I don’t think I can help you.
MenoParticipantThey didnt seem to understand wifi without internet is meaningless
But if you have wifi it is much easier to access the internet
MenoParticipantI thought Garfield eats lasagna

Could be a gorilla with a clear trash bag over his head.
Would that be tznius?

How?
MenoParticipantWhat will happen to Siegelman’s?

MenoParticipantThe reason they’re not doing vorts anymore in queens is because the street numbers are so confusing so no one ever shows up
MenoParticipantIs it worth it? You can get one for like 12 bucks when they’re on sale.
I think it would be safe to say that 90 percent of frum Jews have a slow cooker just for shabbos
MenoParticipantYou have to try it to understand it
MenoParticipantThat being said, for a lot (not all) of the jews that died in the holocaust r”l it was without question the best thing that ever happened to them and us…
Huh? How could you say that?

May 7, 2017 8:38 pm at 8:38 pm in reply to: Too much money on transportation technology; not enough money on teleportation! #1271308MenoParticipantYou are saying that teleportation is absolutely not in Hashem’s Will?
Who said that?
MenoParticipantI once saw a guy eating pizza with chop sticks
MenoParticipantI’m ignorant of everything I’ve never heard of, and I’m not ashamed to say it.
MenoParticipantI’ve never seen a wedding cake at a Jewish wedding
MenoParticipantBut does it make chulent?
May 7, 2017 8:39 am at 8:39 am in reply to: Too much money on transportation technology; not enough money on teleportation! #1270637MenoParticipantWhy is everyone assuming teleportation means flying?
MenoParticipantOooh I know..
Maybe they can make a robot vacuum that also makes chulent!
Or maybe just make a crock pot that vacuums the floor!
MenoParticipantWhat about oneg shabbos?
MenoParticipantWhat’s “Kosher” about the KosherLamp or KosherClock?
They solve problems that only apply to Orthodox Jews.
It would be silly to market an improved version of a robot vacuum as a “kosher” product.
Dirty floors are just as much of a challenge for non-Jews as it is for Jews.
MenoParticipantUmmm
It already exists.
And what would be “Kosher” about it?
MenoParticipantWell if your chulent is too watery, my first suggestion would be less water.
Other than that, the only secrets to a good chulent are this:

MenoParticipantOne of my co-workers just replaced his second monitor with a bigger one.
I was thinking of taking his old one and then I would have three monitors, but who knows what the color will be like on that one….
MenoParticipantI think I’m going to get myself a moderator and whenever someone tries to give me mussar I’ll just ask my moderator to remove it.

Also, what will happen when/if they fix the issue with links blocking posts below them? We’ll be left with a whole bunch of empty posts.
I have an idea. Maybe they should make it so when you post a link it blocks the post ABOVE yours.
MenoParticipantlost my sparkle,
“mother in law was shocked” ≠ “there must be an inyun to this”
MenoParticipantHey what was wrong with my math?
MenoParticipantHow do get to those numbers?
Well the average cost to educate a child for a year is $40K, and the average child is in school for approximately 50 years, so yeah, $2,000,000 sounds about right.
May 2, 2017 4:08 pm at 4:08 pm in reply to: Technology & Parents with 10+ Children (or any # with a long age gap in between) #1268005MenoParticipantMy parents had a toll-free number that I could call from any pay phone. I think I still remember it.
