popa_bar_abbaParticipant
Yes, but you don’t need to transfer bitcoins into the banking system, since you can use them and move them and transfer them all within the bitcoin system.
Unlike cash.
But bitcoin is a stupid scam anyway, and will fall apart right soon.
popa_bar_abbaParticipantCharlie: Benjamin Franklins are also great for drug lords and unsavory folks laundering money.
Yes, but the reason money laundering exists, is that it is quite hard to do anything with your huge piles of franklins, since you can’t deposit them in a bank. Unlike bitcoin.
popa_bar_abbaParticipantDoes he have ruach hakodesh?
popa_bar_abbaParticipantDY: you just cut the gas line after an hour. duh
popa_bar_abbaParticipanti heard he has ruach hakodesh and can tell when someone is trolling on ywn.
popa_bar_abbaParticipantOr maybe, they are a scam for americans set up to look like a reputable european business.
Amazon is an american business–do they take european credit cards?
September 3, 2014 12:49 pm at 12:49 pm in reply to: Does Rabbi Shalom Arush have Ruach HaKodesh? #1030535popa_bar_abbaParticipantMany others attribute his denials to basic honesty, and not wanting people to think he’s a crackpot.
popa_bar_abbaParticipantHave anyone here ever been the guy in this story?
popa_bar_abbaParticipantEfsher a mitzva tantz for the male posters?
popa_bar_abbaParticipantBetter to be a patent troll.
popa_bar_abbaParticipantA griddle sounds like it would need libun gamur. Put it in a self clean oven on self clean, for an hour.
popa_bar_abbaParticipantYou’re an idiot. You were born an idiot. You’ll die an idiot. Your mother was an idiot. Your father was an idiot. If there was a prize for idiots, you would come in second place.
Why not first place?
Because you’re an idiot!
September 2, 2014 12:52 pm at 12:52 pm in reply to: Do people with Ruach HaKodesh exist today? #1031108popa_bar_abbaParticipantMe!
popa_bar_abbaParticipantMyturnatbat: that is terrible advice. The point of dating is to get attached and let yourself become vulnerable. A sad consequence is you often get hurt. But if you stop playing the game, you can never win.
popa_bar_abbaParticipant3. Generating business (attracting clients) is the key to not having a boss. Not having a boss is generally a prerequisite to doing part time high quality legal work
Fakert. There are the people who bring business in, and the people who do the work. If you want to do the work, don’t spend your time bringing in business.
As far as low level/high level–as you get more senior, you do more high level work.
August 31, 2014 2:56 pm at 2:56 pm in reply to: Why Can't Women Get Modern Smicha and Become Rabbis? #1071677popa_bar_abbaParticipantDoes anyone know which is the best place to buy kugel in Williamsburg? I like kugel a lot. How about tzibbilis kugel? Do they sell that also?
Does anyone know why the shaatnez checking place is in Williamsburg? Isn’t that like a yuppy neighborhood where yuppies from manhattan who are not yuppish enough to live in manhattan, live?
Also, why are the wedding halls in Williamsburg?
Why do people need to get married in a wedding hall? I’ve read the entire first mishna in kiddushin and it says nothing about wedding halls. It says that you can marry a woman on three roads: The silver road, the paper road, and the coming road. I assume the silver road means you are on your way to being rich, and the paper road means you are on your way to being learned. But what does the coming road mean? It is the road for people who are already coming back. It means you can marry a woman when you are old and she thinks you will die and leave her all your stuff. Is that how you all read it?
Does anyone know why we eat honey on rosh hashana? Some yeshiva or another sent me some honey.
How much do you think it costs to buy a house on your own island? If you have a house on your own island, like, why should anyone care what you do on it? Like lets say you just want to play world of warcraft all day.
Does anyone know what this thread is about? Becasue I thought it was about why women aren’t allowed to go to modernishes simcha’s, like a simchat bat, or yom haatzmauut.
popa_bar_abbaParticipantWhat app are you referring to?
Ignorance is no excuse.
popa_bar_abbaParticipantI knew all that, but it is not my minhag to reveal such sodos.
popa_bar_abbaParticipantIt was free!
popa_bar_abbaParticipantI happen to recall a certain nonsensical pizza shop in midtown that only has square pizza. It is pretty good.
popa_bar_abbaParticipantThe first kosher pizza shop in the world opened in Jerusalem in 1847, opened by the grandson of a talmid of the gra, named Moshe Kucheloffen. They made Venetian style pizza.
popa_bar_abbaParticipantDY: Any operation of this sort would definitely rely on outside funding anyway.
Besides, you think Hashem doesn’t have enough money in his wallet to support both?
popa_bar_abbaParticipantI don’t think I agree.
That assumes that the functions of two kiruv operations would be redundant. But the same way that the people who walk in today are not redundant of the people who walk in next year, the people who walk into one are not redundant of the people who will walk into the other.
There are plenty of communities with more than one kiruv operation, and it is always good.
August 24, 2014 4:50 am at 4:50 am in reply to: Overprotective Parents in the Brooklyn Jewish Community #1029424popa_bar_abbaParticipantMy wife says this is the creepiest thread ever.
I think I’ve posted much creepier ones, though. I was joking in those threads.
August 24, 2014 4:49 am at 4:49 am in reply to: Overprotective Parents in the Brooklyn Jewish Community #1029423popa_bar_abbaParticipantI sure wouldn’t want my kids hanging out with a disturbed counselor.
popa_bar_abbaParticipanthttp://www.theyeshivaworld.com/news/editorial/201380/false-accusations-the-withholding-of-a-get.html
I think it is appropriate if necessary to combat unfair tactics used by the other side.
August 22, 2014 9:47 pm at 9:47 pm in reply to: What's your favorite restaurant in the NYC/Brooklyn area and why? #1029466popa_bar_abbaParticipantMendelsohns
18th and like 46 b’erech
popa_bar_abbaParticipantI don’t get it. Suppose there is a chabad and you also open a kiruv center. What is wrong with that?
Torah is not a competition. More is always better. If you are teaching torah and someone else also is, that is just more torah.
The people who like your teaching better will come to you and the people who like their teaching better will come to them.
popa_bar_abbaParticipantHey Yikk–who says? My info suggests the girls were starting later than that.
popa_bar_abbaParticipantI think there is a shidduch crisis for that generation also. I also think they did not have an age gap.
popa_bar_abbaParticipantI think it’s idiotic.
popa_bar_abbaParticipantAm I the only one who just didn’t understand the article?
The heading was “There is no shidduch crisis”, but then the article seems to imply that there IS a shidduch crisis. Is he confused? I certainly am.
Regardless, it looks like nobody here agrees with whatever he is saying anyway.
popa_bar_abbaParticipantVM: Still, you’d imagine that the greatest basketball player of all time would be good enough as a freshman to be on a high school team.
August 16, 2014 2:18 am at 2:18 am in reply to: Jew becoming a lawyer or judge -halachic problems ✡️⚖️ #1028091popa_bar_abbaParticipantI fail to see how drafting 200 page contracts goes against halacha in any way.
That’s what most lawyers do.
You should ask this question about doctors though.
popa_bar_abbaParticipantFirst, add an onion. Really. Just because you don’t know how to make doesn’t mean you shouldn’t try.
Second, there is no secret. You just need to make a decent kugel and then wrap it in parchment paper and chuck it on the top of your cholent.
Third, the secret is you need a drop of the horn of a Hungarian Horntail.
August 15, 2014 5:40 am at 5:40 am in reply to: In Austin the Orthodox rabbi is paid $100,000 a yr #1028567popa_bar_abbaParticipantNo, I wouldn’t be a rabbi for that money. Being a rabbi is a horrible thankless job.
Charlie: that is actually a very high salary for an orthodox rabbi.
August 15, 2014 2:40 am at 2:40 am in reply to: Why I keep up with daf yomi and all you mongeese don't #1027790popa_bar_abbaParticipantAppears I’m a mongoose.
popa_bar_abbaParticipantTar and feather him and ride him out of town on a rail.
popa_bar_abbaParticipantI’m 99% sure it’s a fraud.
popa_bar_abbaParticipantThat’s ridiculous. The “bully” in school is most likely being abused at home.
August 10, 2014 8:41 pm at 8:41 pm in reply to: Girl I want to get engaged to wants me to change my Rabbi #1047122popa_bar_abbaParticipantI had the opposite problem. This girl I ddint want to get engaged to only wanted me because of my rav. I told her to marry the rav.
popa_bar_abbaParticipantA person a river a bridge outerbridge
popa_bar_abbaParticipantWhenever I go on vacations, I’m patur from davening with a minyan. When I get to shomayim, they’ll ask me why I didn’t go on vacation more often. That’s a tayna I can live with.
popa_bar_abbaParticipantNo, it is the same. If its more than several dates, you need to tell in person.
Although, among the very yeshivish where I think they don’t ever “drop the shadchan”, I think it may be acceptable to break up via shadchan.
Zeh ha’klal, breaking up after more than several dates has to be done in the same format that you’d get engaged. If you would get engaged via shadchan, you can break up via shadchan. If you would get engaged via text, you can get engaged via text. If you would get engaged by ignoring her calls, you can break up by ignoring her calls.
August 10, 2014 1:16 pm at 1:16 pm in reply to: Girl I want to get engaged to wants me to change my Rabbi #1047106popa_bar_abbaParticipantI dunno- suppose after you were married your rabbi said something that offended her so much she couldn’t ask him shailos–what would you do then? Just say “I’m in charge of halacha and I say you will listen to him?” Thay doesn’t sound like a very good family dynamic.
Talk to her. Figure out what her concern is. Then come to a solution that both of you can accept. Think of this as an apportunity to see if you are both ready to be married to each other. If you can’t figure this one out, chances are you won’t be able to figure out what school to send your kids to either.
Also I agree with 42
popa_bar_abbaParticipantI feel bad for the girl that she had to date a sociopath, but, sure is better to find out that he’s a sociopath after 10 dates than after the wedding.
popa_bar_abbaParticipantHaleivi: Was the wall hot there?
popa_bar_abbaParticipantyikkum: See shach/taz beginning of 105 (I forgot which one discusses it).
popa_bar_abbaParticipantIf you want to be Machmir
IF? WANT?
How you talk!
Would you say “if you want to keep shabbos?”
popa_bar_abbaParticipantMy mechanic zogt az it needed a new wheel bearing today.
Also it needed a new wheel bearing today.
Those were two different statements.
The first was the reason for the second.
It made noise, and now it doesn’t, but I have no idea if there was just a pebble, or a loose nut, or the wheel bearing was going bad. But it needed a new wheel bearing, because that was the price I had to pay to get my mechanic to fix whatever it was that was making the noise. And I definitely needed to fix that noise.
So you see, my mechanic said it needed a new wheel bearing, and it did.
This is an important lesson for marriage. Your wife says she needs new shoes, and therefore she needs new shoes.
