OneOfManyParticipant
I use fragments all the time. Well, not with reckless abandon…but complete sentences just don’t have the same oomph, y’know?
January 8, 2012 5:14 am at 5:14 am in reply to: Girls High School Curriculum: Maybe all the schools need to do this #870018OneOfManyParticipantjust me: I did read the post, and it’s that exact phrase that I take issue with. I really don’t think that girls should be shteiging all day. I just think that it’s utterly ridiculous to call napkin-folding and egg-roll making “Toras Habayis,” and let them take precedence over actual Torah. It’s very nice and all, but if a school wants to implement such classes, they should be strictly extra-curricular and non-mandatory. As cinderella says, a cookbook is usually quite sufficient.
than leaning how to read a RaMBaM.
But then parents spend $20,000+ for their daughters to acquire that selfsame skill in seminary? Where’s the logic, I ask you?
I had such a class in high school, by the way. It was called Home Economics, and we learned how to make swans out of apples. Oh, and how to make homemade pizza on a pita. Biggest time-waster of LIFE. And that was instead of a Physics class that could have gotten be ahead in college.
What AZOI.IS says about classes in how to deal with real-life issues is much more valid, in my opinion. It makes a lot of sense to incorporate such classes into Bais Yaakov curricula. (I had one of those classes too, and I liked it a lot.)
P.S. I learned how to check vegetables in Halacha class. My friends in other schools did as well.
OneOfManyParticipantOops. I read your post, but for some reason I didn’t see that bit. Sorry.
OneOfManyParticipantWhat about the midrash that says that each of the shvatim was born with a twin whom they married? I always wondered how they were allowed to do that…
OneOfManyParticipantlol, that’s funny…there are SO many bizarre synonyms for that word…
OneOfManyParticipantAlmost forgot:
Hashem’s four letter name = Tetragrammaton
?? ???? = perforce
OneOfManyParticipantHear, hear!
January 6, 2012 7:39 pm at 7:39 pm in reply to: Girls High School Curriculum: Maybe all the schools need to do this #870009OneOfManyParticipantI don’t understand why people keep on trumpeting this idea. Why should a girl waste her education on learning skills that she will spend the rest of her life perfecting? Which is more important, pretty napkins or a love of Torah (that she will pass on to her children)?
OneOfManyParticipantYou wanna know what I found out today? Google Chrome is also an OS. Go figure…
OneOfManyParticipantI really meant: why would you decide to major/pursue a career in something you don’t like?
OneOfManyParticipantI only take classes that I like. Why on earth would I be shelling out all this money otherwise? (Don’t say to make more money.)
OneOfManyParticipantFirefox history, pretty neat
*likes*
OneOfManyParticipantOoh, witty. 🙂
OneOfManyParticipantI can’t really tell the difference in speeds, though…maybe I’ll try it on a slower connection.
OneOfManyParticipantDoes that make me a da’as yochid?
OneOfManyParticipantNo, it’s like really inappropriate. I read the first couple of pages and I was like ?!
OneOfManyParticipantI love college, I really do. But writing five 10-page papers at once is a real killer… x_x
OneOfManyParticipantOz series = pink, fluffy, and bland
Wicked = awesome (disclaimer: didn’t read the novel and intend not to.)
OneOfManyParticipantThe principal was a teacher of mine in seminary. It’s academic, but more hashkafically oriented than textual. That’s all I know about it.
January 4, 2012 7:32 pm at 7:32 pm in reply to: Want to know the difference between us and them? #841968OneOfManyParticipantlol…I now know what “4:20” means.
OneOfManyParticipant*hears sounds of distant explosions* What was that you said?
OneOfManyParticipantWhat would happen if the gravity on Earth was suddenly turned off?
….In buildings, people would start floating gently upwards until they bumped into the ceiling. Outdoors, however (or in buildings with GIANT ceilings), things would start floating away from the Earth gently but eventually go much faster, as their straight lines took them farther and farther away from the circular path that the spinning Earth takes.
…In fact, the force you would need to hold on and keep yourself from flying away from the Earth is very weak, only about 0.3% as strong as the force of gravity (and even weaker away from the equator).
I think you forgot some emphasis.
OneOfManyParticipantGive it up, you Chromies…Chrome is going dowwwwn.
OneOfManyParticipant(Of course, the whole planet would have disintegrated as well, so you might not notice.)
“…it would probably have been a great satisfaction to her to know that in a minute and a half or so he would suddenly evaporate into a whiff of hydrogen, ozone and carbon monoxide. However, when the moment came she would be too busy evaporating herself to notice it.”
tee hee
OneOfManyParticipantThanks for all the help, everyone! I’ve been really thinking about what I want to do with my college career, and I’ve decided transfer (sorry, estrapade). Now I all have to do is get in…:S
OneOfManyParticipanti am not speaking to a group of physicists
With Pegger here, I’m not so sure…:)
OneOfManyParticipantI am. Hee hee hee.
OneOfManyParticipantThen what’s happening on her browser makes no sense.
OneOfManyParticipantThat’s not her problem, though. That just will give her the top searches starting with whatever she typed in. She wants it to autofill from her history. I think her problem is that her history is somehow set to wipe after every session.
OneOfManyParticipantalways runs with scissors fast: See, all these Chromies can’t even help you…just switch to Firefox and all your problems will be solved. 😀
By the way, do you really iron with spray starch? ‘Cause I tried that once and it was gross.
OneOfManyParticipantWell, it’s too complicated. So there.
OneOfManyParticipantBah. 😛
OneOfManyParticipant??? ???? ???????
Thank you, sixth grade morah. 🙂
OneOfManyParticipantHeeeeeey! You can do that on Firefox too!
OneOfManyParticipantWhy would that make a difference?
OneOfManyParticipantI find Chrome confusing, for all its prettiness. But to each his own. 🙂
January 3, 2012 12:35 am at 12:35 am in reply to: Chemistry/Biology/Physics/Biochemistry/Math #841637OneOfManyParticipantBecause everything else is also moving.
OneOfManyParticipantThe weird thing is that it DID work a while ago (but I only tried it to see if I could, so I didn’t keep it). Now it suddenly isn’t.
chocandpatience, did you change yours the same way?
OneOfManyParticipantpopa, what about just me’s friend’s case? Where the ex formally agreed to pay a certain amount, shutting her out of government aid, but then wouldn’t pay up? How is she supposed to get the money?
OneOfManyParticipantThey’re trying to wean us off. 😛
OneOfManyParticipantLol, nice…
But it’s STILL NOT WORKING. DX
Mods, can I appeal to you? I’d love to be “cubic,” if that’s possible. If you want, you can even leave the subtitle so I won’t be tricking anyone. And if you decide that this is all just dumb and ignore this, I won’t mind. 🙂
January 2, 2012 9:42 pm at 9:42 pm in reply to: Why did Shnooky wait 25 years to get Bar Mitzvah? #841124OneOfManyParticipantI was wondering THE EXACT SAME THING. But then I realized that Dr. Middos has a time machine, so anything’s possible…
OneOfManyParticipantWhat’s with the separate login, anyhow? I distinctly remember not having to do that! Is my mind just playing tricks on me? (Is this post going to get deleted?)
OneOfManyParticipantYou probably have your history set to clear after every session. Do you have Firefox?
OneOfManyParticipantWell, it doesn’t even work anyway. >(
coffee addict, how did you get them to change yours?
OneOfManyParticipantEh? Where did the whole thread go? Now it doesn’t make any sense.
OneOfManyParticipantYour extreme example is realer than you think – little random me even knows a case eerily similar (B”H resolved).
It’s kind of ironic, really. In order to even out the playing ground, women gain the sympathy advantage – which they in turn use to abuse the men. But I guess it’s inevitable.
OneOfManyParticipantFirefox: Click on the Firefox button, click on Options –> Privacy –> Location Bar, set to desired option.
Chrome: Dunno. You probably should just switch to Firefox.
IE: Definitely switch to Firefox.
OneOfManyParticipantHmmm…do you happen to know how financial aid/merit awards work when you cross-register?
OneOfManyParticipantLol…I’m one of those strange people who has contradictory interests, yet is too devoted to them to give up one set for the sake of the other. If I transfer, it’ll be to an engineering school, and then it’s bye bye B.A. 🙁 Hence the quandary.
I think I’m gonna ask my school if I can cross-register with some other school, so I can get the classes that might actually be able to integrate the two majors. Or if they’ll just grant me the silly dual degree.
