Sometimes I call my neighbors posing as Feivish and tell them that they won the Oorah auction, even though I’m not actually Feivish and they didn’t actually win.
It’s for simchas Klal Tisroel. They get so excited to hear from Feivish.
Avrohom avinu davened for anshei S’dom
Old story.
Yeah. Why would anyone want to hear about something that Joseph already knows?
I have no idea what goes into planning an event like this, but I would imagine it is very difficult to predict how many people will attend, considering the size of the venue and how infrequently the event occurs.
Yes or no answers only please.
You people are bad at following directions.
According the the Wall Street Journal, NYPD issued 630 citations for jaywalking in 2013
Joseph and chash,
What would have been an appropriate response by the police in this situation?
theres something called legal harassment, would you be ok for being ticketed for not crossing in the crosswalk?
Sure, if that’s the law
then having to identify yourself like in nazi germany?
Well how else will they give me a ticket?
lets be straight about this, a woman Jwalked, have you never j walked? or how about ever crossed the street out of the crosswalk or when the light was red to pedestrians?
I try not to, because as a driver it bothers me when other people do it, and because it’s the law. Though I have never walked away while a cop was talking to me.
Youโd really be fine with a cop ticketing you for that?
Yes
And demanding id, besides for being totalitarian, would you really be?
Yes. It’s happened to me before.
ok you guys are obviously just good cops who are upholding the safety and integrity of our city, sure, let me tell you my name and address?!
Well if you aren’t ok with that, then don’t break the law.
Now let me ask you a question: What if she were a driver running a red light rather than a pedestrian?
I was once blocked on the sidewalk by someone who managed to take up all three spaces
Why were you parked on the sidewalk?
Obviously you can’t see the whole picture just from the videos, but if a police officer asked me for ID (especially after breaking the law) and I just walked away, I would fully expect him/her to use force to stop me.
I don’t get what’s outrageous about the first one.
She was resisting arrest, and it wasn’t even particularly violent.
Are cops supposed to give tickets only to those who agree to receive them?
For thousands of years no one used penicillin or chemotherapy
Right. They probably thought penicillin and chemotherapy were a bad idea.
CTLAWYER,
I would assume your house is also more than 4.5 feet from the nearest wedding hall, so it’s unlikely you would have this problem anyway.
Put up a sign
There is a picture going around today of a package of buns containing the Luchos K symbol, with PORK listed in the ingredients.
It wasn’t a package of buns, it was some type of pork/mozzarella cheese product. It is very clear that the kosher symbol was put there in error.
What does “severity” mean?
Shouldnโt it be spelled ืืจืืืค?
It is
What about a cake of soap?
Now that sounds like something I want to try.
not if you have a deep freezer
It doesn’t even have to be so deep. Just deep enough so you could stand inside it while frosting the cake.

I saw one of these in the supermarket. It was $7.99 for two 1/4 lb patties.
No thanks, I’d rather have a beef burger with no cheese.
But it’s difficult to eat fresh raw tuna if you only have a spoon
All of these things are stupid. If you want to write something meaningful, write it clearly in a way that doesn’t require the reader to use arbitrary conventions to interpret it correctly.
a human with a temperature of 105 degrees can possibly survive, at least for a while. a body temperature of 110 degrees means you are about to die
What shaychus?
Anti-Vaxxers have asked CDC for 100% Vaxxed vs 100% Unvaxxed. CDC refuses. Why?
When I was 8 years old, I asked my parents to pay $40K to send me to astronaut college. They refused and said that I wouldn’t be able to be an astronaut anyway because I throw up whenever I go on the carousel.
Now that I’m older and wiser, I know that they were really lying and that they didn’t let me go because they didn’t WANT me to become an astronaut.
Milchig or fleishig?
What did you order?
What did he order?
Did he leave a big tip?There are too many details missing from this story to answer your question.
Ah, so now instead of the 15-20 minutes it takes to make pasta, it will take over 24 hours.
Thanks for the tip!
Iโm just making an interesting point
I disagree
In stores where it actually works well I almost always use it.
Same goes for gas. I just find it easier and quicker to do it myself than to wait for the attendant.
If that means fewer jobs for humans, I don’t have a problem with that. Why should a store hire a human to do something a machine can do?
Litvaks donโt give a brocha to grow in Litvishkeit.
I do.
We never wanted our children to share bedrooms or bathrooms
Bathrooms?!
Joseph,
He wouldn’t agree to be my shaliach unless I signed a shtar, because he doesn’t trust meMy Rov doesn’t trust me
So make sure your Rov has a backup.
Many Rabbonim ask you to give an estimate of how much chometz you have and specify where it is located (in addition to any other chometz you have)
The shtar that I signed gave the Rov explicit permission to appoint another shaliach.
Try selling your car to someone after already selling it to someone else, just in case the first person backs out. Let me know how that works out.
It makes more sense for the Rov himself to have a backup. If you’re really concerned, ask your Rov if he has a backup. If not then choose a different Rov.
Maybe everyone should just mind their own business.
By a pikadon the shomer accepted achrayus so he can’t tayna hamotzi mechaveiro alav haraya. Here you didn’t accept any achrayus.
…some CR posters like Meno and ubiquiten think I donโt need to return โ which is incorrect…
I’m waiting for a raya otherwise.
Think about it โ if I have a mountain of quarters and you drop your quarter into them, do you lose it โ because you canโt identify which exact quarter is yours?!
Well cash might be different, but if they were objects then I would say yes. Or at least maybe.
M’heicha teisi that she could she be m’chayev you to give her something without you aggreing to it? Bring me a raya. You’re good at that.
The zoo.
Duh.
She wants to take it back (any pound of meat in my pot) but I want to keep all the 61 lbs of kosher meat and give her back trief meat for her dog.
Let’s pretend she dropped a pound of kosher meat in the pot. Who says she could just take back any pound of meat in the pot? If I drop a basketball in your backyard, can I go into your backyard and just grab any basketball I find?
The burden is on her to prove that she’s taking back what’s hers. Until she can prove it, she gets nothing.
Meno, you say, ืืืืฆืื ืืืืืจื ืขืืื ืืจืืื.
Exactly my point. Let her prove that the piece of meat she’s taking is the one she dropped in.
If she actually could prove it somehow, then it was never actually batul.
She dropped a piece of meat in your pot, let her take it back.
So she can’t figure out which one is hers? Nu nu. Her problem, not yours.
This exact thing happened to me last week, so I said, “Excuse me Sir, your finger is in my soup,” so he responded, “Oh it’s okay. It’s not that hot.”
I just read that Beryllium is very toxic, so I would ditch that idea.
Seriously though, I believe the ones that are commonly sold in stores are galvanized steel (similar to the air conditioning ducts in houses, but thicker).
Based on thermal conductivity, melting point, and cost, it seems to be the most reasonable option.
Beryllium might be good too, though I have no idea where to get it.

So you’re looking for a yeshiva that is not really appropriate for your son just so he could be the top guy in yeshiva?
I’m no chinuch expert, but that doesn’t sound like a good idea to me.
Ummm…
Rampid?
