DMB: What kind of parents fail to make rules for their children in their house (as well as outside)?!
Schools have rules; and homes have rules in even more so.
Huju: The New York Times reported it multiple times. It didn’t call it Dr. Z’s protocol but rather it identified the medication cocktail the large number of hospitals across the US and world were using and stated it was what President Trump was promoting that didn’t yet have medical science proving its effectiveness.
I think it can be reasonably inferred that when a person can be subjected to the death penalty, he/she is no longer a boy/girl but rather a man/woman.
Would you refer to a 29 year old as a boy? Then you cannot refer to a 29 year old as a girl.
Tell that to Dean Baquet.
Dovid, check up the meaning of a boy reaching Bar Mitzvah and of a girl reaching Bas Mitzvah.
Huju, forget about what’s a “better answer”; the only question was if the answer given was correct or, if not, what minor correction was needed that it shouldn’t be incorrect — not necessarily “the best.”
Dovid, did I miss a comma?
Q: When does a girl become a woman?
A: By Jews at age 12.
WADR, MO rabbinic opinions generally carry no weight in the larger Yeshiva world.
Ubiq: Donald Trump is far far wealthier than his father ever was. His inheritance, whatever it was, wouldn’t on its own magically grow hundred-fold, as it has.
Charlie: Should the dating couple keep six feet away from each other the entire time, as you wisely suggest?
Avi: No. By Jews at age 12. By most gentiles at age 18.
Did employment become too stressful for adults?
Answer that and you’ll have it answer to the question in the title of this thread and OP.
What information must even be mentioned altogether during a shidduch? A permanently ingrown toenail? Lactose intolerance?
Only a Zoom date? What about a bshow?
Avi: I once told her, the self-appointed language enforcer, that it should be Haifa woman, as girl is an incorrect description of herself.
CTL: What’s the legal distinction between suing a State in state court versus suing an officer of the State in his official capacity?
When did Country Yossi stop reprinting the Coffee Room in every issue? They were doing it for years.
Bill Buckley was very well understood.
Yossi: Absolutely. And that benefit accrues despite and regardless of whatever the government or authorities did to contain it.
Burnt: sovereign bonds aren’t underwritten by any third party. And they sometimes default on them (Argentina, etc.)
There are many more older women than older men in shidduchim. At least according to the age gap theory. As such, given that there’s an overabundance of older women without good prospects, due to the demographic imbalance, it would seem the guys should have a comparatively easier time finding a zivug.
Hatzlacha
P.S. On a completely side-note, we’ve missed DaasYochid for a long while.
Phil: False. Montana has a much lower per capita cases of coronavirus than Israel. Montana also has a much lower per capita death rate than Israel (comparing the number of deaths against the total population.)
You had to take Montana’s tiny rate of infection against its total number of deaths (16 deaths in the entire State of Montana!) to come up with your meaningless comparative figure point.
Montana: 16 deaths out of a population of 1.069 million.
Israel: 235 deaths out of a population of 8.884 million.
You do the math.
js001: “for example, why would anyone care about an anonymous opinion on if america should reopen”
Why do newspapers (from the NY Times and WSJ down to your local newspaper) virtually all have anonymous Opinion/Editorials every day? As well as make political endorsements during elections.
Meshimer is excellent, flexible and very strong.
What publication is called Kichel?
What can NYC learn from Montana? Or from Canada. That’s just as relevant based on the criteria given in the OP.
Headline/titles shouldn’t have a period at the end.
Ubiquitin: Sometimes readers need to read a comment a second or third time to figure out what the poor writing was intended to mean. A large percentage of readers will simply not do so and thus disregard the comment and whatever point was trying to be made.
Some people stay funny despite a life full of challenges.
“anyways” is as much of an English word as “ain’t”.
Dovid: Huju likely missed class that day the teacher explained those points.
Yes. I think what I outlined above will still be in effect and observed as late as Rosh Hashana and well beyond.
huju: Are you implying that St. Francis Hospital’s clinical trial is therefore quack? And that the hospitals across the US prescribing this for COVID patients are utilizing quack medication?
There was a poster here some time ago named haifagirl who served as the YWN CR’s unofficial English Language Police Officer.
TLIK: Virtually all Yeshivos and Beis Yaakovs are conducting remote learning.
They’ll be a six feet separation between everyone in shul, the office and on the subway and streets. Everyone will wear face masks. No one will shake hands. Everyone will be washing with soap and water or hand sanitizer every 30 minutes.
CTL: Why would any State ever agree to waive sovereign immunity in any case against it (or for that matter against any city, county or municipality within the State, which effectively are all units of the State), if it could save itself from any lawsuits by not waiving it?
Additionally, regarding the OP here, is it not the case that when it comes to potential federal constitutional rights violations that a State cannot claim sovereign immunity? i.e. If a State outlawed the free press in the State, it couldn’t avoida lawsuit by refusing to waive immunity.
YM: Right. Refund for the dorm but not for tuition.
Explain how a) permitting some businesses to open for employees and customers but b) forbidding religions from opening their places of worship for ministers and congregants passes muster under the First Amendment to the Constitution.
Secondly, did New York even actually forbid places of worship from opening? Or did they just limit the number of people who can be there at the same time?
Why is the fact that the store is closed at all relevant to the halachic question? The question should be equally relevant about a regularly open store selling discounted gift certificates.
RE: A mod only moved it to Decaf today, Previously it was in another category, and hence unseen until now.
AJ: Did you miss the “FWIW”?
Charlie: You just contradicted yourself. You called Dr. Zelenko’s protocol “quack medication”. Yet immediately afterwards you admitted that St. Francis Hospital in Roslyn, New York is now conducting a clinical trial of Dr. Zelenko’s protocol.
I’m sure you’ll agree that a major hospital such as St. Francis Hospital would not be testing quack medication.
Additionally hundreds of hospitals across the United States as well as hundreds of hospitals across the world are now using Dr. Zelenko’s protocol.
Haven’t seen RY23 in quite a long while.
When people post to old thread that are NOT in the DECAFFEINATED COFFEE section, no one sees it.
YWN needs to fix this CR bug.
FWIW, the secular colleges and universities are not giving refunds as a result of the changes caused by the coronavirus.
n0m: How are you applying kovod HaTorah to a letter authored by the head of Agudas Yisroel, one of Klal Yisroel’s most important organizations, with the full backing and agreement of the Gedolei HaTorah on the Agudah’s Moetzes Gedolei HaTorah?
