Two options:
1. Stop doing homework. Quit the plays. Forget about dieting. Your life is now simple.
2. Marijuana. Your life is now simple.
PBA: How about just numbering your reason instead of typing it into each post. It is unnecessarily redundant and a waste of valuable bandwidth. Since you only have 2 reasons, it should be easy to keep track. Just say A or B, or 1 or 2, and we’ll know. You could also post a link to the OP with the two reasons if you want.
Eat all 4, and you are guaranteed to have eaten 1 of each
Has it been so long since they sold the London Bridge (yes that really happened, Brooklyn Bridge TBD) that British consider the current London Bridge to be “the” London Bridge? Some of us still remember when it was replaced.
And a gift to the US? Ha. When have the British ever given us Yanks a gift? The only one I know of is a bust of Sir W. C., and that has been returned.
No… this is broken telephone.
You make a very sensible point. I enjoyed reading your post.
This is why it pays to be well versed in statistics.
For example, imagine a mouse is being chased by 9 cats and gets cornered. A simple-minded mouse would turn into a quick snack. But the enlightened mouse would realize that statistically he is 90% cat and 10% mouse, as are his pursuers.
Another example that helped me (just to prove that squeak <> mouse) personally. I went to a kiddush where there were 15 bottles of decent mashke. If I were to take a shot from each bottle I would have quickly become drunk and been carted off. Luckily, I noticed that most people were not drinking at all – I counted only 15 people out of about 100 having drinks. So we were each able to easily drink 15 shots, knowing that we were only consuming 2.25 shots, statistically.
I made it home, though I have no idea what happened to the others. I must have blacked out for a bit.
Simple. In his hand he holds four pills, two of which are 100% blue and two are 100% red. Statistically, this is equivalent to all four pills being 50% blue and 50% red.
All he has to do is consume two pills before the lights go back on and he has had the statistical equivalent of 1 blue and 1 red.
Helpful: and what about you alter-egos- why do they post?
Dr. Pepper- thanks for linking that post, I got to see 80’s plunger comment that I missed before and had a good laugh.
We already had this thread, do a search.
ETA: Found it.

Me too. His articles always brought me a chuckle or two. Not so much the content as the content
most especially since EMTs in a restaurant don’t help anyone.
Hourly employees are probably treated differently, but most salaried employees are governed by a) the need to complete designated tasks promptly and b) an acceptable use (of company resources) policy. So long as neither a nor b are violated there should be no grounds for discipline or disapproval. Despite that, it is still best to make sure that your supervisor won’t have a problem with your useage because a disgruntled supervisor can make you miserable even without grounds.
ICOT-
I’ve only ever converted VHS to DVD by using a professional’s services. He asked me to certify that I own the rights to reproduce the material and did the job. I paid around $25 for each one.
I experienced no noticeable loss of quality.
If you are an A/V DIY guy or if you have so many tapes to convert that there is a lot of money at stake, I would recommend that the quality of the transfer is only as good as the quality of the equipment. I don’t know what you paid for your equipment, but my experience is that with technology there are two classes- consumer quality and professional quality. Even the highest end of the first class does not compare to the second class. But price-wise there is a tremendous difference.
With absolutely no actual knowledge, I would guess that your equipment is consumer quality, and not the best either. I am basing this on the USB transfer. A high-end converter would definitely use HDMI.
In Canada prices don’t matter, because merchants accept Canadian money for some reason. Hasbro sells Canadian Money very cheaply so it’s really not worth the effort to save a few percent

SJS- is that as good as a video tape? It’s a first hand recount.

I went out on a date with a girl who insisted that I not look at her. It was the oddest thing. Apparently in her mind I was suppose to keep my head down the entire time. It was surreal.
From your telling of the story, it seems that you had a problem with being told not to look at your date (and she’s not even your wife!). You said, “It was the oddest thing”, and, “It was surreal” (not that surreal is the correct word to use).
Forgive me if I find your current position hypocritical.
Don’t bother calling, you won’t get to speak to her. A secretary is taking all her calls.
AinOhdMilvado-
Your story is rather ironic, considering your screen name 🙂
Ben Torah-
Just for the record, does ‘international’ mean ‘outside of Brooklyn’?
Here’s something important to know-
I throw TPS reports out the window.
Instead, knock down your cube walls,
strut about your office’s halls,
get a red stapler and learn to say NO.
Honestly, I don’t understand how Avraham Avinu knew the world was created by one G-d. Surely, he was vindicated – by no less than direct prophecy from G-d saying so. But absent that vindication, how are we to believe that he “knew” it, when all the best minds in the world in the next 4,000 years were collectively unable to “know” it.
I know every cheder teaches the story of Avram Avinu this way. I wonder if that is what causes people to seek “proof” for their faith.
blinky-
It’s true, it does become a blank post. But somewhere in mod-ville there is an OCD gene that is frustrated by blank posts, so one or more mods are actually compelled to delete it.
I thought I’d try writing another
word jumble, so you’d yell, “Oh brother”!
And though most limericks rhyme,
I didn’t have enough time,
So this one doesn’t.
For the price to rise,
there will need be strong demand.
Which won’t happen soon.
I don’t love math, I’m just baiting another poster whose posts usually liven up threads.
I think “log” can be safely interpreted as ln, but if you want to be a stickler, change the last line to “equals natural log cube root of e). ‘That was easy’.

A mathematician confided
You’ll get quite a laugh
If you cut it in half.
For it stays in one piece when divided.

A burlycue dancer, a pip
Named Virginia could peel in a zip;
But she read science fiction
And died of constriction

Null vectors have zero projection.
So you ask, “What can be their direction?”
They point any which way.
“That’s magic!” you say?
Not really; it’s just misdirection.

The Professor said, “Now I’ll tell you
A fact known to only a few
Men and women alive.
Two plus two equals five!
For large enough values of two.”
1.
A dozen, a gross, and a score
Plus three times the square root of four
Divided by seven
Plus five times eleven
Is nine squared and not a bit more.
2.
Integral t-squared dt
from 1 to the cube root of 3
times the cosine
of three pi over 9
equals log of the cube root of e.
Please don’t buy bad stock
On imagined advice, ‘cuz

Doc Pepper is too

The best part is when a mod goes back and deletes a number of posts that would otherwise allow the flow of “the story” to make sense.
In that case I am

and for that there’s the easy way, and the hard way. Or should I say, the hard way and the difficult way. So many double meanings.

Equating intellectualism with apikursus is quite unfair and misguided, but understandable. Some intellectuals/academics/philosphers are apikorsim, but not all.
The fundamental difference is Emunah. It is possible to both wonder and still believe that there is an answer that involves G-d. Those of us who do have questions and do not stifle them, but seek out the answers, are not apikorsim so long as we do not allow the doubt to lead to agnosticism.
As with any other example of relating to people, things look different to the people on the outside. So to non-intellectuals, it is just as hard to distinguish between the type of intellectual pursuit as it is for them to join the discussion itself.

I don’t believe that anyone is caffeine-free. The EPA just released a study showing that air contains as much as 15% caffeine, depending on how close the nearest Starbucks is. Tap water? Fahgetabowdit
and next year will there be even that?
I would assume that any florist in the NW section would deliver to GG regardless of where you are located. Off hand I can think of Blue Valley in Hendon, but really- google is your friend for these questions.
Oy. This year, there wasn’t even a token protest about a sports thread on YWN. Yeridas hadoiros?
If you are a NYer, then it’s simple. Stand on the outskirts of the frum community you currently live in, walk 5-10 blocks further and call it a new neighborhood for young couples. It generally has to do with affordability.
I thought the OP was asking about other cities.
Different date? How many dates do you think that guy was worth? Less than 5, I’d think 🙂
