That’s a lot of cholesterol!
Oh, and if you don’t speak Cantonese, you can just say stir fry.
Mod80-
Dolphins and bats? Do I really now.
If you want wavy walls, there are easier, cheaper, and more enjoyable ways to get them. For instance, try Maker’s Mark.
Darchei Noam, at this point it’s just grasping at straws. If you do get caught (the opinon of those with experience here is that it is mainly a matter of ‘when’), you have made a serious error that could come back to bite you later in your career (and there’s no way of knowing now how or in what way that could happen. There is a good reason why experts recommend never burning bridges (even if you’ve been mistreated and are resigning).
What seems to be unanimous here is that it does NOT PAY to lie on your resume/application UNLESS all of the following apply:
1) You have no religious ethics
2) You have no moral compunctions/ethics
3) You are applying for a low level, low visibility job (so being caught won’t have any immediate ramifications other than termination)
4) You are not averse to the risk that the incident will come up later in life (e.g. one of your future clients or co-workers at a future job is from that place and remembers)
5) (Most important) You have nothing truthful of significant value to put on your resume/application
A mentch with all these qualities I have no words to describe.

LAer, you’re about a day or so too late on that one. I tried it yesterday, and we discovered that the limitation has been lifted, which is in line with the authors’ reboot.
OK, now you’ve added a disclaimer that we’re only discussing US population. That’s around 400 million right now. Of which 2% is 8 million, which is more than triple the number of people living in Brooklyn (2.5 million).
Even at 98%, the number of Jews outside of Brooklyn exceeds the number within Brooklyn by a factor of at least 50.
There are roughly 6.6 Billion people in the world. Only a paltry few million live in Brooklyn.
By your estimate, 95% or 6.3 Billion are goyyim, and the remaining 300 million are Jews.
300 million is far more than the number of Jews in Brooklyn, even if Brooklyn is 100% Jewish.
ASF- I thought that place sold jewelry?
mdd- Are you saying I misinterpreted your statement: Did you learn the sugiya?(I suspect you are a girl).
And for the other example you don’t deny it, but make an excuse.
Bottom line, if you dish it out, be prepared to get it back.
Two examples in the last 5 minutes:
1. Right here, directed at me
2. In the Hashkofos thread, directed at PY
Wow that was low.
I am sorry that you are so sensitive. You seem to have no trouble accusing others of making things up.
<eyeroll>
MrBachur,
You are not meant to get it. The man is a British humour columnist. Note the seemingly superfluous “u” in the word. The words colour and color are actually the same, just the former is misspelled. But humour is not the same a humor. Only the latter is actually funny.
ICOT-
I could see having more than one version of C on a fiche, but putting fiche in C doesn’t make any sense.
Nice ghost!
I don’t know who you’re referring as “Mr. Miksilpliks”. I have nothing to do with the hat I’ve been given, I was just playing along.
She meant to say “mercie”
Memory? Are you kidding- it’s on my medical report describing the reason I needed a doctor to put my kishkes back in.
The real mystery is why Google can’t find your post. I know I hit all the right key words. Even a simple search with dr pepper basement doesn’t pick it up.
IOW, not a word in any language (except the language of certain kosher chocolate-boxes)

Personally, I think that “Blinquie” is tres elegant.
You meant “Blinqui”, n’est-ce pas?
Oh goodie. You’ve been practicing! I knew you were a prodigy.
Mod 80 will handle the color-coding.
FOR THE WIN!
Are you teasing me or testing me? You once told us a story that involved you and plumbing. IIRC, it was Chol Hamoed and you wanted to take the day off, but offered to do work from home anyway. Your wife asked your mom where you were when you got back from shul, and she said downstairs working, and your wife said something like, I don’t know why he’s doing it if he isn’t even getting paid for it…
It would be far more eloquent if I could post a link, but alas, my search skills have failed me on this morn. Anyway, you get the point – you are the CR plumber.
I guess it wasn’t the right audience for the thread I had in mind. I’ll condense it to a post, then.
I think it is more important that we make sure girls learn to drive before they start driving than to worry about whether that happens before or after marriage.
<sigh>
Are you also against people driving cars? Crossing streets? Those are also dangerous activities (, period) that frequently result in preventable accidents. No matter what we do, and no matter how much safety we teach, it would be safer if people would not drive or cross streets.
I counted you as the plumber. But you could do both.
ICOT for electrician.
I have others, but I’m waiting for them to bait the hook.
Right. It’s like buying a lottery ticket. When it doesn’t pay off, you’re no worse off than before.
But this is not about chumros and kulos. Nor is it a situation where observing a mitzvah is a cause of sakana.
It is only bad practice that causes a sakana. Whether the bad practice is a result of ignorance or a one-time oversight, it makes no difference. The point is that instead of attributing the event to its cause you are attributing causality to the observance of YT.
ICOT-
I’m definitely wasn’t asking so that you would stop. I hadn’t noticed that you used quotes for everyone.
As far as choice #5 goes, I can’t reconcile that as your serious answer with respect to Emerson.
I like your out-of-the-box thinking for blinky’s riddle. The answer I would have given is that the second place runner is a suspect in a criminal investigation fleeing on foot. You are the law chasing him or her down. When you overtake the runner, you become in the position to place the person under arrest. But blinky specifically excluded me from answering the riddle.
How about a CR chessed project? I can think of specific people to delegate to.
What artchill said. Which is why you shouldn’t bother, even if ethics and consequences mean nothing to you.
Codswallop.
He is making it up as he goes along. Now it’s my turn.
Kol haro’uy l’billa ain billa me’akeves.
<sigh> Clearly you are not trained as a programmer. One character can mean the world.
(Especially if the character in question is “squeak”)
yes, you should have. In fact, the easiest would be if you just copy/pasted from my post in the jokes thread.
Explain “the link disappeared”.
It is supposed to disappear, and be replaced by a hyperlink with the title “LINK”
For example, LINK
Pretend this is your link: http://www.theYWN.com
In front of it, type
<a href="and after it, type
"> LINK</a>TIA again
Thank you for defending me, Mod. Let me add something.
I am somewhat torn on this issue. On the one hand, there are halachos that are based specifically on the point you are making. For example, the reason that we use a candle for bedikas chametz instead of an avuka (torch, which would provide more adequate light) is because using an avuka would create a sakana when checking inside small openings. Rather than risk someone setting fire to his home or not checking the small openings at all out of fear of doing so, the Chachomim told us to use a small flame.
On the other hand, some people are too quick to blame mitzvos for tragedies. There is clearly a balance between how much Chazal were willing to modify our practices to minimize potential harm and how much they expected our common sense to take over.
I agree that if people do not know enough about fire safety they should be educated. I agree that if a specific situation is beyond reasonable control of safety (e.g. kids that can get to a fire and there is no way to safeguard it from them, or a lack of proper equipment to cover an unattended flame) then perhaps an alternative that does not involve a hazard needs to be considered for that situation (e.g. no fire in that house).
But to say generally that the practice of leaving a flame on over YT should be ended? Come on. Education, Proper Equipment, and Common Sense are what is in order.
Unless the purpose is just to attack and aggravate shomrei mitzvos.
Mr 80- by any chance, could you enclose the link you posted in General Schmooze 3 in code so that it doesn’t mess up the page? TIA, and please delete this post upon reading.
No.
popa, you are out of line, reitzin un like that.
Dr. Pepper-
There are many possible answers. The most obvious one is triplets, as given by Mod 80. But they could also be quads or quints, etc.
Other answers include the possibility that both are test tube babies who were implanted into different surrogates. This would mean they both have the same parents, but since they did not share a womb they are not twins. The coinciding birth dates is a quaint coincidence.
Alternatively, they could both be clones. Their shared “parents” would be the donor cells they were generated from.
Or, you could be looking at individuals from parallel universes. One or both may have made the transition through a different dimension (though obviously not the 5th, or I would have noticed) to our world. Same parentage and birth dates are obvious in this case, but they couldn’t be called twins.
As I said, there are a myraid of possibilities.
Bluffing is a no-no
Embellishing is a given.
I think 10 is pushing it. Most men would never take on more than 2 or 3.
Mario Cuomo, Al Gore, wow. You sure know how to choose ’em.
ICOT, I’ll go with #1, thanks. Looks like I walked right into your trap 😉
Oh yeah! How does my dust taste, Dr. Pepper?
(Just to be less cruel, I’ll add that I know what yours tastes like.)
Except that the 1 and 9 should be reversed, but I’ll put that down to just a typo 🙂
Or you can post the ending on the Kiddush Hashem thread as a completely separate story. Only the mathematicians here will be able to put 1 and 1 together (this subset excludes me).
