squeakParticipant
Thanks for sharing.
Joseph had the Berditchiv account on his profile for a long time, clearly hoping for contact. I know that he got in contact with some people that way.
squeakParticipantI ask kindly that only those who have something to share may speak to the group. Anyone who had nothing to share please stay quiet
Including shomrim. Thank you for your understanding.
squeakParticipantI have a B70, no issues, but I hate it. It makes terrible coffee, even when I use my finest roasts (old timers may remember I am a bit of a coffee snob). A $10 coffee maker makes a better cup.
Pros are that it’s convenient and quick.
Cons are that it’s expensive to buy the K cups, the K cups are pretty bad coffee, and that it’s quick. The brewing process is better if it takes time, not when water is forced through a hole in 30 seconds, so a drip brewer does a better job. Also, the biggest cup you can make is about 8 oz, more than that and it’s too watery.
The My K cup lets you put your own coffee in, so the expense is not a issue. But it is a pain in the neck to clean, and it doesn’t produce a decent brew. Also, you can’t put in more than 1.5 tbsp of coffee at a time or you will get a mess. So 1 small cup (8 oz) at a time, then you have to clean it before you can run it again.

squeakParticipantTo be fair, I think that would have always been taken seriously. Just no one believed it was serious in time.
squeakParticipantcuuuute
squeakParticipantThis forum has made great progress with trolls. You have to give credit where it’s due. A year ago I was not even allowed to call out trolls (my posts were not approved), and now the mods are acknowledging the problem. Give it time, bro.
My name is 95 and I have a trolls.
November 20, 2011 12:47 am at 12:47 am in reply to: Does anyone else view the occupiers as traitors?? #828202squeakParticipantIt seems liek a good idea, but at the end of the day nothing they are trying to do will solve any of their personal problems. That’s the thing to keep in mind.
So, liek, they can keep whining about all the problems with this country, and maybe even be right. But even if they manage to enact change they are still going to have to actually do something for themselves to change their own life. The best ROI comes from working on yourself.
November 20, 2011 12:28 am at 12:28 am in reply to: Putting Btguy's excellent suggestion into practice #828716squeakParticipantI think we need a group therapy session for Joseph’s victims… it will serve 2 purposes.
1) It will be cathartic
2) It will illustrate to those not victimized what he has done.
Maybe I’ll start a thread.
squeakParticipantUhhh, no.
squeakParticipantCan someone address the difference in the sifrei torah themselves? The word “dakkoh” in Ki Tseitzei is spelled differently in the ST of sephardim and ashkenazim. A misspelled word in a ST is a pessul. Is it apropriate for one to use the ST of the other?
squeakParticipantOneofMany,
Exactly.
November 17, 2011 11:11 pm at 11:11 pm in reply to: Modern Orthodox people (and sometimes Popa) are stupid #1041211squeakParticipantWho said atoms were always round? I think it is mathematically impossible to make certain shapes, like squares, out of round pieces. I’m not aware of any natural squares in nature, so we can’t prove that atoms were round before say, the pyramids.
November 17, 2011 11:07 pm at 11:07 pm in reply to: School Busing on Thanksgiving in Lakewood #834766squeakParticipantI accept that you disagree, but may I state that it is quite obvious you have a child who depends on the busing service?
squeakParticipantyitaningwat-
I’m sorry, but I disagree with you. It’s not for you to decide if its an insult, only the drivers can tell you how they feel. It most definitely is a question of sensitivity, and I think your replies underscores that. You are demonstrating a lack of sensitivity to their position. I might have the right to tell my employees to come to work over the weekend, for example, but it is insensitive of me to do so when they have a family wedding on Saturday.
You take for granted our civil rights, probably because you weren’t around before that. To call me ignorant is well, shall we say ignorant? At the very least its insulting, can we agree on that? Insensitive?
squeakParticipantThanks for the wb.
Of course its a word – am I in the habit of using unwords?
squeakParticipantJothar, we all know that contemptible can mean sick slangily, but you spelled both words wrong.
😉
squeakParticipantI find a sad irony in this. After all the work that went into getting the law to recognize our right to celebrate all our holidays and sabbaths without penalty, one would think that we’d automatically show sensitivity to the few holidays the goyim observe.
Offering to give the drivers a free pumkpin pie is just a slap in the face that underscores the insensitivity being shown. Imagine if your boss demands you come in on Rosh Hashana, and in response to your protest offers to give you a jar of honey for coming in. This is no different in their eyes.
squeakParticipantI just checked myself and its.quite false. Snopes focuses on the story itself conflicting with ‘facts’ and that everything in the note is anecdotal and no scientific evidence is presented.
Plus if a doctor wrote this I would expect the big words to be medical terms that are relevant. The writer does not seem to onow that tinnitus is related to hearing for example. Also, asymptotic is a mathematical term – does not mean the same as asymptomatic.
squeakParticipantSomebody “snopes” this please.
squeakParticipantDone. You got me.
Which are the top 20?
squeakParticipantJust ate 2 sinos…. again. The 2nd soda went to a hungry person though. This is getting unhealthy.
squeakParticipantYou invite me this time.
squeakParticipantYou were more than the messenger, you were the witness, judge, and jury. When you use your subjective sense of righteousness to condemn the yeshiva world, you open yourself up to questions about your own character. If you can’t handle the responsibility, keep your mouth shut in the first place.
Where do you get the right to decide that your casual golf attire is preferable to formal attire worn casually? I’m with the yeshiva boys over you on this one.
squeakParticipantTHIS POST is the one I remember, did you mean a different one?
Hard to forget those fire and brimstone days…. though maybe it’s best to let sleeping dogs lie?
squeakParticipantcantoresq
Member
all the boys, from the chatan to his younger brother, to his friends, to a number of other single men there, all wore their shirt collars open with a tie (many of them in garish neon colors) bearing an over sized Windsor Knot and ending well above the waist band (where a tie ought to end). what’s up with this?
That’s rich, coming from you.

squeakParticipantI guess Dr. Pepper is back in his bunker, but this time was definitely not my fault. I know this was his type of riddle, so too bad.
The answer is, what is special about today is that its the last binary day in our lifetimes.
Now back to MY bunker.
squeakParticipantI cant believe no one seems to have learned shulchan aruch. That is where halachos are codified. For shame.
The mechaber says answer amein to your own brocha at the end of.a group of 2 brochos. The rama says only after a group of 3. The sephardic and ashkenazic minhagim follow accordingly.
squeakParticipantWhat is special about today?
Today is 63
Last year was 62
Ten years ago was 61
Eleven years ago was 60
Yesterday was 59
Ten days ago was 55
A month ago was 47
Need any more clues?
squeakParticipantYes. Just spill your guts here, like everyone else.
squeakParticipantI need feivel to confirm, and then you can pick the money up from our usual drop spot.
squeakParticipant6 months, wow. That must be a record for you.
October 16, 2011 5:21 am at 5:21 am in reply to: Why I can't I just walk around with a shaved head? #818813squeakParticipantIt is, outside of your fiefdom of Boro Pahk.
squeakParticipantAre you Bobby who lives in the red house? We’ve been trying to riddle out your social security number for years now!
squeakParticipantGezundheit
squeakParticipantIts a meet market. Not a meat market. Play on words.
squeakParticipant4 is deep in the middle of rush hour.
October 11, 2011 6:42 pm at 6:42 pm in reply to: Why I can't I just walk around with a shaved head? #818811squeakParticipantOr Lieutenant Ilia.
squeakParticipantMaking havdallah
October 10, 2011 10:10 pm at 10:10 pm in reply to: Dear Teacher, can you give us a little break?! #816699squeakParticipantYou should not be posing this to the readers of the CR. This is a question for YOUR RAV!
Whoops, wrong thread. I guess its OK to discuss this here even though its between you and the teacher, but I figured someone should give you flak anyway. Why is everyone OK with discussing this here but not with discussing halachik issues?
squeakParticipantNo, there is not much point in it unless you enjoy it. You won’t convince them, and others who read the debate will see you both as parochial.
squeakParticipantpopa, I disagree. You may choose not to follow German law by.staying the blazes away from that country. I’d even recommend that. But once you’re there you can’t opt out. Just like when you visited my house you had to take off your shoes even though you didn’t want me to see the holes in your socks.
squeakParticipantayc is right, mein herr. You show a lack of rachmanus to “yidden who tragically lost their neshamos to the iShmutz” by using one such infernal device. I know I certainly would never use a gas chamber for entertainment or for business, and if you feel that way about a computer but use it anyway…..
squeakParticipantYou spend afew thousand on an esrog? Must be a real yaalom
squeakParticipantSounds good. I’ll be dressed as a sheep.
squeakParticipantThe only one I have trouble with is b’phlillus
😉
squeakParticipantMe and you- mebbe we can throw rocks or something fun…
squeakParticipantYou know thats not the only.al chait…..
squeakParticipantI prefer to give the answer. It’s Barak. You see, back when I was learning Navi we understood that Barak was the husband of Devorah, and a valiant man – but not the shofet. That’s not what they teach anymore, at least not according to the poster I saw. I wonder when the new edition of Nach comes out…
squeakParticipantI’m machmir to not say anything in vidui that I didn’t do
Does that go for the al chaits too? I’m having this picture in my head of you running around to rabbonim being mezalzel them for the sake of your chumra.
