I don’t have to read the second half of his words, the first is damning enough. He’s saying that sorry, we lied to you, a disease which now damages one in 36 (up from one in 10,000) which we still continue to deny has been aggravated by the insane vaccine schedule, we hid the data. But hey, keep pumping that poison into your kids. It will only harm one in 36 kids. Are you believing this stuff??
Ok, now you’re just showing that you don’t understand how math works.
That you readily admit that and still choose to vaccinate is your choice.
I don’t readily admit that, I’m just debating you on your own terms.
I just don’t have to agree with it.
That’s fine. Just stay away from my kids. And everyone else’s kids for that matter. Thanks
Just wanted to post the quote from William Thompson:
“I regret that my coauthors and I omitted statistically significant information in our 2004 article published in the journal Pediatrics. The omitted data suggested that African American males who received the MMR vaccine before age 36 months were at increased risk for autism. Decisions were made regarding which findings to report after the data were collected, and I believe that the final study protocol was not followed.
I want to be absolutely clear that I believe vaccines have saved and continue to save countless lives. I would never suggest that any parent avoid vaccinating children of any race. Vaccines prevent serious diseases, and the risks associated with their administration are vastly outweighed by their individual and societal benefits.”It’s mind boggling to me that all the people referring to the first paragraph completely ignore the second paragraph.

Nice to see the yeshivish accent finally rubbing off on you 😉
Have you looked into Bnos Popa?
Are there any chabad people in the Coffee Room?
You know what would stop you from craving gluten-free stuff? Stuff with gluten.
Compare them side-by-side and you’ll never go back to gluten free.
From the reference point of the man standing in the middle of the train, he is standing still. Yet the strike that hit the front of the train still reaches his eyes first
In less than one second? That would mean light is travelling faster than the speed of light in train man’s reference frame. That’s impossible.
I think this is what Avram is saying, and I think it works out:
The discrepancy is not in when the light hits each observer’s eyes. Train man will see two lightning strikes simultaneously and platform man will see two lightning strikes simultaneously.
The discrepancy is in when each observer sees the light hitting train man’s eyes. From train man’s reference point, the light beams from both strikes hit his eyes simultaneously (that’s why he observes the strikes as occurring simultaneously). From platform man’s reference point, the light beams from both strikes do not hit train man’s eyes simultaneously. In other words, platform man sees the strikes occur simultaneously, but he does not see them reaching train man’s eyes simultaneously.
Gosh, some people, I tell ya
I’ve been thinking about it more, and I’m having trouble with the train example.
First let’s take a simple case: Light travels 186,282 miles per second. Let’s say I’m running in a straight line at 1000 miles per second, and lightning strikes exactly 186,282 miles ahead of me. How much time passes (on my watch) before I see the lightning? The answer, I believe, is exactly 1 second, because light travels the same speed in every reference frame – that’s Einstein’s chiddush.
So now the train example. To make it simpler, lets say the train is 372,564 miles long (2 x 186,282 miles). The guy on the platform sees both lightning strikes simultaneously after 1 second – simple. But why doesn’t the guy on the train also see them simultaneously? Why is it different from my case? Is my conclusion in my case incorrect?
If whatever message you want to get across is not worth the few seconds it takes to type it, it’s probably not worth saying at all.
I have one question that no one will be able to properly answer. Who decides who is and who is not the “Gadol”?
What do you think the purpose of this thread is?
“Yes, but the man on the platform will not see the strikes at the same time. This should prove that it is not only movement which can change your perception.”
.
Well of course his position in space also affects his perception. If you and I are both standing still at different spatial distances from an event, we will observe that event at different times. Einstein’s chiddush is that speed also affects perception.“Also, if the man on the train had super long hands and one was in front of the train and and the other in back, he would feel both strikes at the same time.”
מהיכא תיתי?
I was thinking more about the train mashal and i don’t get it. Suppose the man on the platform was not at the middle of the train, but closer to the front. He would also see the strikes not as simultaneous, but rather he would see the front one first because it’s a shorter distance. this should prove that the train example has nothing to do with the train moving.
In your case the two men would still observe the events differently (i.e. different intervals of time between the two lightning strikes) due to the fact that the train is moving.
anyone know what a wormhole would do and how you can make one?

All generalizations are bad.
How about this one:
All generalizations are bad.
There is a similar concept which is actually observable.
Gravity affects the passing of time just like speed does. If an astronaut goes to outer space with a very accurate clock, while leaving an identical clock on Earth, when he returns there will be a small discrepancy between the two.
Huh?

זכין לאדם שלא בפניו
A talmid chochom should know that
It is prohibited to give a gift on Shabbos. Klahr halacha.
You can have a third party be zocheh the gift on behalf of the host before Shabbos
If someone mailed me a handwritten thank you note after having been a guest for one shabbos meal, I would immediately assume that the person was neurotic.
I can’t speak for anyone else, but I personally have plenty of other sources of bittul Torah to be concerned about before this.

No, Joseph. You’re misunderstanding me.
The point I’m trying to make is that the Yidden in Eretz Yisroel are following Halacha by not allowing a woman to leave the house without explicit permission from a man.
Doesn’t seem like an efficient use of space.
Ok here you go:
The American system is terrible because it shows respect towards women, whereas women are supposed to respect men, not the other way around.
Happy now?
How is the system in Eretz Yisroel any less “adopted from the goyim” than the system in America?

Eh, I’m not buying it.
Privilege of working as a waiter?
*headscratchingemoji*
As far as I know I’m also the youngest one here. And the oldest one here. I have no idea how old anyone is. For all I know everyone here can be the exact same age as me.
Meno so we should all be sheep and follow
Glad that we agree
Why is the customer responsible for the salary level or compensation level of employees at a business he’s only a consumer at? Logically that’s entirely the responsibility of the business owner, not his customers.
Maybe you’re right, but once there is an expectation that people will tip, and salaries are set based on that expectation, it is completely improper not to tip just because you don’t agree with the system.
Maybe every employee should get a tip? Maybe the cashier at a grocery should get ripped as well
Maybe you’re right, but that’s not really relevant to this discussion.
The fact is that waiters’ salaries are based on the assumption that they will be supplemented by tips. This is not the case with other employees.
The prices of kosher food leave less money for customers to tip
Worst argument ever.
The tip should be factored in when you figure what you’re able to afford.
If you believe that someone deserves a tip, not giving it to them just because you spent your money elsewhere is selfish at the least.
Also just a side point about tipping: that extra few dollars means a lot more to the waiter than it does to you.
Hishtadlus or hishtadlut?
They’re heavy
…find it obscene to read about the too frequent episodes of fraudulent activity among some mosdos to actually inflate the rolls of those eligible for welfare…
Wait, are we talking about receiving welfare or committing fraud? Those aren’t the same thing.
This was NEVER the yiddeshe model in the alte heim…
They also didn’t eat tofu chulent in the alte heim, but that doesn’t seem to bother you.
What does this have to do with davening?
I was once at a pizza place that served breakfast, I ordered eggs, the guy touched the cooked eggs with his gloved hand, put the eggs on my sandwich, then licked the glove.
I still ate it.
Has anyone here even gotten sick or noticed a difference in the pizza because the workers behind the counter didn’t wear gloves?
To each his own.
There is a widescale issue of school bus drivers driving with their flashing lights activated while they’re driving rather just when they’re stopped to pickup or discharge children.
I have never, ever seen this. Why would they do that?
Though I have seen drivers refrain from activating their lights and stop signs so as not to inconvenience other motorists.
Well the buses can stop at an angle to prevent cars from passing, but then people complain that it’s illegal blah blah
The sushi one Ive seen more in Israel than the US
So you’ve seen it at least 3 times?
coffee addict,
This is word for word from the pamphlet “and it’s not just any mitzvah that you protested against. You have to know that the mitzvah of milah is one of only two mitzvos in the Torah for which you get kareis for not doing. It’s a very important mitzvas asei if he refuses to let himself be gemalt then he’s chayav kareis and hereyou were refusing it, you didn’t want any part of it
Honestly I have no idea what that last sentence means (it seems to be missing some important punctuation/words), but I’m pretty sure it doesn’t say that you get kareis for regretting having had a bris milah.
