    you sound a bit hypocritical. Why is he good enough for a friend of yours but not for you?

    It’s actually quite common for someone to break off a shidduch and subsequently suggest that person for someone else.

    It’s not a matter of “good enough”

    Wait, so you were dating him before and now you’re asking if you should date him through a shadchan instead?

    a related question. does anyone eat a kizayis of korech for zaicher limikdash kihillel and another for zecher limikdask kihillel?

    Huh?

    I’ll counter your question with a question:

    Do the various shittos of k’dei achilas p’ras correspond to the various shittos of k’zayis, or were they calculated in other ways?

    how would you describe a girl like this? Someone who learns and always does chesed and keeps tznius very well and does not hang out with guys. Are they considered yeshivish?

    I would categorize that person as someone who learns and always does chesed and keeps tznius very well and does not hang out with guys.

    Again, please stop putting people in boxes

    once it’s moderated, there are already people reading it and the damage is already done, so the posters should be careful anyhow, so it wouldn’t make sense to say that someone wouldn’t be careful about what they write because they know they can edit after moderation!! At that point the damage has already been done!!

    This would be true only if people were robots.

    But people are not robots. They don’t through a whole specific thought process before posting. Rather they have a general mindset when posting. If there were no concept of editing a post, people would have a more cautious mindset when posting.

    I think that ideally we shouldn’t be able to edit at all, but for whatever reason, typos often become more visible once you see the post in the thread (maybe it’s something about the formatting).

    LU – So if it’s really that bad they can ask the moderators to delete it.

    I think if people don’t have the ability to edit their posts it will force them to be more careful with their words.

    Or, allow edits only until the post is approved.

    I understand the need to correct typos, but you shouldn’t be able to edit your post after other people read it, just like in real life.

    Columbia is a waste of money. If you’re going to be in the city, go to City College.

    Even if you’re from out of state it’s still a fraction of the price and they have an excellent engineering program.

    I’m a frum mechanical engineer and I am extremely happy with my career choice.

    I think most people just aren’t interested or aren’t cut out for it.

    One of the benefits of going to school in NY would be the ability to work out some kind of combination of yeshiva and college. Even if you don’t go to a formal yeshiva-college program, the mere fact that there are so many options will make it easier to work something out. I don’t know how easy it will be where you live.

    In most cases a Master’s in Engineering is a waste of time. Companies would prefer to hire someone with a year of experience over someone with an extra year of coursework.

    It involves zero dogs.

    That is not true. You can set it to bark like a dog if you try to access a blocked site.

    There must be an actual dog inside the computer barking. Otherwise, what’s the point?

    It may not be that simple. If you use OU’s product search online, you’ll see that a lot of their packaged juices and soups are actually OU Kosher certified.

    You’re right that it’s misleading for them to put an OU on their truck, but it may not be so simple to force them to remove it.
