These fine, honourable people whose boots I am not worthy to kiss
Is there an emoticon for vomiting?
It’s a great way of telling people how the average person/a person not 100% alert should drive down the street, while keeping everyone alive. That does not say that a better driver and/or an extra-alert driver need to adhere to such a suggestion.
OY! Am I going to be stuck here forever?!
Does this do the trick, LF?
Avram in MD:
But to suggest a safe speed along a street has no point?
How do you get out of here?
Polyfaceted isn’t a word to the best of my knowledge. Multifaceted is.
What would be the point of a speed limit that is not enforced?
BTW – speed limits on yellow signs are suggestions, but white signs are the law.
So you tell me, what’s the point of yellow speed limit signs?
Yekke2-100 mph sounds like way too fast. You sure it’s manageable?
Nobody’s going to admit that they give more
I guess you never read any Kupat Hair pamphlets.
WB Hashtag.
Avram in MD:
Are you contending that it is unreasonable to enforce speed limits?
Going 36 mph on a Brooklyn street is very unticketable. A speed limit underneath that is a great suggestion, but it most certainly shouldn’t be enforced. Now, if someone’s going 50, there’s what to talk about.
equipped with a camera taking pictures of speeding vehicles going over 35 mph and fining them.
For that sentence to make any sense, the speed limit would have to be 35mph. I do not believe I misread anything.
No, for that to make any sense, it would mean that the camera takes pictures of speeding vehicles going over 35 mph and [the city] fining them.
Without taxes, we would be missing much important research, such as what effect massages have on rabbits. (No, I did not make that up.)
This reminds me of a story that happened with the bachurim of Yeshiva R’ Chayyim Berlin. They didn’t like one of the staff there and they somehow had a hydrant. So every day they would find his car and put the hydrant next to it and wait for a cop to come. Once he got the ticket, they would take the hydrant away.
Honestly, as was mentioned a few times, a speed limit of 35 mph on a side street isn’t so unreasonable. Getting a ticket for going above that is unreasonable. If it’s a big street, the speed limit is unreasonable.
Avrom in MD-you misread the OP. He said you get a ticket for going above, not that that’s what the limit is.
They make things to put on your license plates that reflect the light so a camera can’t catch it. Or you could try blocking the DOT car with a dumpster or something.
I always wonder why no politician runs on the platform of minimizing traffic cops and tickets.
I don’t have a key so I’m using a hairpin instead.
I was on the 19th floor once. It wasn’t so bad. RebYidd23 was there too. RebYidd23 is nonexistent, according to his profile.

Pretty obvious, no? You have nothig to say.
Give them their own state and arm every citizen. Return in a week to find everyone dead and reclaim the territory. Anyone know Netanyahu’s number?
My, my, how’d you fish this one out.
I was actually trying to figure out what you meant by this:
http://www.theyeshivaworld.com/coffeeroom/topic/nope-not-going-to-start-it-this-year
and everybody’s busy debating the original topic
History repeats itself.
Its actually in the cr rule thread stickied on top; that you should check if there is an existing thread in the subject before starting a new one
The exact phrasing of the tile is, Before starting a new topic do a quick check to see if the topic exists So only things which come up quickly are included.
A reminder to put up a Brooklyn Eiruv?
The exhibits are probably in their own ??? so it wouldn’t present a problem, anyway.
I Beat DY to it.
Wisey-you’re right. It’s the ??”?, not the ???”?. See ???”? ???? ??? ??? ?.
PAA, if that was in response to Wisey, he wasn’t talking about kohanim in medical school (for which there’s absolutely no ?? to be ????, as ??? is ???? ??”?) but for anyone, and to not be ???? ?????? ???.
It’s a ??’ ???”? ????”? if we pasken that ???? are ???? ???? and we’re ?????.
if they’re ???? ????? it should be ??????, no?
So naturally you have a kos ready for him all year round.
welcome back rebyidd23 I sorely missed you.
Welcome aboard Divrei Hayamim.
In a kuntreis on t’filla from R’ Yonassan Ebber (I think that’s his name) he quotes many as saying that the purpose of t’fillah is to remind ourselves that everything comes from hashem and that we need him to provide our needs.
uh, cij, you forgot me too… or maybe you didn’t want to state the obvious?
google Tuv Taam – Klalei Taamei HaMikrah
I never used it but it looks good
no kitniyos=more meat consumption=more animals killed
the pm”g I quoted before is in eishel avraham 296:11
I can only apologise for the lack of thought that went into the above question.
You anticipated it, did you not? You said it might be obtuse.
I simply found it amusing that of all my activity on this forum in the preceding week, that one sentence was picked up upon.
Well, it was the only amusing one semicolon capital p
Congratulations on your achievement and the thoroughness that went into this monumental work of fiction. Perhaps that was laying it on a bit thick.
No that was a ruddy brilliant way of saying it. You are most kind, guv’nor.
It was a hilarious story, and I enjoyed it very much.
gee, thanks.
Or, as those from the other side of the pond you referring to the English channel? Or the Atlantic Ocean?
Y”T kiddush is also d’oraysa, acc. to a p’ri m’gadim, I don’t remember offhand where.
Whenever a yid is mentioned in the goyish newspapers….
it’s not only the goyish papers
No, I was referring to having to bend down to pick things up, travelling for hours to arrive at a destination, rubber duckies, and basketball on the ground.
(acc. to many, k”l is a birchas haro’eh, so lichorah there’s no problem in making yourself unable to be m’kayyeim it)
woops. I got mixed up. They quote R’ Isser Zalman Meltzer as saying it’s a birkas haro’eh but most sources indicate otherwise. (don’t ask me for them; I’m just repeating a shi’ur I heard once, but basically, the mg”a says K”l is a mitzvas aseih shehazman g’rama, so he obviously doesn’t think it’s a birkas haro’eh [which is actually where R’ Meltzer is quoted as having to come to argue] snd a shu”t nodeh bihudah regarding interrupting kri’as m’gillah to be mekadeish the l’vana, so obviously it’s not a birkas haro’eh, or he would’ve just said to not look)
I understand my way better than yours, but you’re right anyway. Tur 426 says to dance toward the moon and say, etc. (dif. nusach there, BTW)
sirvoddmort, yes.
and that did come across as obtuse. semicolon, capital p
yekke2, what?
