    in my opinion consumersearch is THE best online place for reliable, useful reviews,

    they incorporate consumer reports as well as a number of other sources of reviews and summarize and analyze the results

    in reply to: magazine ad about sheitels #724742

    maybe the incr before the edible was inadvertently left out

    no there is no danger of CO2 toxicity from too many plants

    n dini momoinois minhag hamedina takes precedence over halacha

    im sure you phrased that incorrectly, but of course nothing takes precedence over Halachah.

    if dinai mamonis follows the minhag medina then that is becuse that is the Halacha

    in reply to: The Riddle Thread…. #1069507

    and to correct you blueprints sound does not have to have a specific frequency, as opposed to specific subsets of sound such as a pure note

    in reply to: The Riddle Thread…. #1069506

    thank you blueprints for the correction.

    writing quickly causes many interesting phenomena 😉

    in reply to: The Riddle Thread…. #1069505

    agent

    if thats how you define sound then of course if no person is there (or other sentient being) then there is no sound, and there is no riddle!

    in reply to: The Riddle Thread…. #1069502

    so, agent, you are defining sound as the aural perception by a sentient creature of vibrating physical media, or something like that, correct?

    in reply to: The Riddle Thread…. #1069499

    define it any way you want, (although physics would define it as a vibration in a physical media, air in this case).

    if you define it such then yes it makes a sound.

    if you define it as perception then no it doesnt make a sound.

    it is a riddle that is neither profound nor meaningful.

    it merely depends on definition

    in reply to: Computer Question – Backing Up #726806

    im considering an iomego?

    icot

    tell me the truth

    if i told you i had a C drive with windows, all my programs and most of my data

    and a D drive with some photos stored on it

    and one day windows wouldnt boot (blue screen flashing on for 1/4 sec then back to bios), wouldnt load in safe or any other mode, not solved by windows reinstall.

    would you consider a faulty D drive as the cause?

    in reply to: The Riddle Thread…. #1069497

    dont want to sound gayvadik but i am well aquainted with that “riddle” and it does not have a solution. the answer simply depends on how you define “sound”

    either as a physical vibrational movement of air

    or as a perception by a sentient being.

    in reply to: The Riddle Thread…. #1069495

    the dimes becaause they are smaller thus more of them

    whats the other riddle?

    not the tree in the forest?

    that has no answer, it depends on how you define “sound”

    in reply to: Computer Question – Backing Up #726804

    for any geeks that are interested

    you might want to hear briefly about my computer almost disaster that prompted this thread

    briefy

    windowsXP would not load

    did a repair reinstallation, no better

    reseated the ram, no help

    went to an expert

    turned out, amazingly to me, that the D drive, which had no OS or programs, only storage for my pictures was corrupted, so windows located on the C drive would not load!

    who would have thought

    in reply to: Computer Question – Backing Up #726803

    not a consideration

    i have 2 int drives in a desktop

    320gig/500gig

    in reply to: Saved By The Bell #724497

    i think gavra was pulling some satire there

    in reply to: Best Modern invention/discovery by a Jew?? #725699

    yes dr salk of course

    in reply to: Computer Question – Backing Up #726801

    thanks icot

    so it doesnt seem too important for me then, at least not critical in any way; would you agree?

    1. easier doesnt concern me so much

    2. a consideration, but very minor for me, especially since i would probably keep any external drive in the same area as my computer

    3. i wouldnt use it for anything else

    4. same as 1. ?

    5. not applicable

    in reply to: Computer Question – Backing Up #726800

    the fire/leak i hear (a pretty weak consideration though)

    but as to the other answer and crdle answer:

    you still have an intact drive either way, just in a different location, the backup on which can either way be transferred.

    there must be something more fundamental, ext drives are so popular for backups

    in reply to: Saved By The Bell #724490

    saved by the Chasdei Hashem, so many times

    in reply to: Ladies would you consider homebirth? #782430

    well said nurse

    still i would strongly recommend against home birth.

    what is ideal is to have an enlightened OB backing up a good midwife in an enlightened birthing center/hospital

    in reply to: Ladies would you consider homebirth? #782425

    the only reason for not deleting the above post is because it is such a classical example of a twisted response to another poster.

    note how he puts words into sjs mouth that she never said, implied, or even hinted at (such as that medical personnel are always negligent)

    note how his angry response is far out of proportion to sjs calm friendly post.

    disclaimer: it should be noted that in general i am in disagreement with sj on almost every issue, as she well knows.

    but please lets try to argue with reason and mentchlikeit here

    in reply to: My Voice Will Not Be Heard Any More… #724224

    But then again, you could hypothesize lots of things

    exactly my point

    in reply to: New Word Game #1041615

    cave

    in reply to: My Voice Will Not Be Heard Any More… #724222

    OK, but perhaps, maybe you’re right. Perhaps I need to work on myself

    i didnt say that!

    i HYPOTHESIZED that POSSIBLY that is what Rabbi Miller, tz’l MIGHT say to someone who was bothered by the actions of people around him.

    in reply to: Ladies would you consider homebirth? #782413

    i was personally involved with home births for about 6 months, and hospital births for a year. i knew all the lines about the infection rate and c-sec rate in hospitals, the unfounded aggressive nature and surgical orientation of obs. all true. but i would never recommend someone to have a home birth, (almost)never.

    on the other hand there are some terrible unnecessary things that go on with hospital births. for now the best answer is a compromise. a birthing center that is truly understanding of the process, a midwife directed birth, or an ob who has some sense, or a combination of all three

    but never a home birth unless absolutely necessary for some reason

    in reply to: My Voice Will Not Be Heard Any More… #724219

    besides i made it clear i was completely hypothesizing.

    probably you are right

    im sure Rabbi Miller, tz’l would agree with you.

    in reply to: My Voice Will Not Be Heard Any More… #724218

    i dont know why i answer your questions. you surely will pick the answer apart. i quite expected something along those lines.

    i was responding to this post of yours which asked me the question with the key phrase: disturbs his neighbor and prevents him from davening properly?

    i didnt know you were talking about a person davening like a freight train

    in reply to: Frum Jews and College #1073172

    a person needs zchus for the Rabbano Shel Olam to allow him to support Torah learning

    in reply to: My Voice Will Not Be Heard Any More… #724216

    i dont know how Rabbi miller, tzl would answer your question wolf.

    he might say no, under such circumstances a person should not daven loudly.

    i could also hear him saying to the person who is bothered, it is proper to daven loudly and if someone is bothered he needs to work on himself.

    i would guess that if someone asked a loud davener to please keep it down because it was bothering his davening Rabbi Miller, tz’l would agree that he should daven more quietly

    in reply to: My Voice Will Not Be Heard Any More… #724213

    people here are understanding “davening” in different ways.

    for example, youchie, Rabbi Miller, tzl was not referring to the silent Shemoneh Esrei, but to other areas of “davening”, particularly Pseulei D’Zimrah

    in reply to: Gefilite Fish Minhagim #1106377

    give the op a break

    minhagim has a specific Halachic usage

    but it is also loosed more loosely for “custom” or “typical behavior”

    in reply to: How to write an easily readable post. #725668

    popa i see your point

    in reply to: How to write an easily readable post. #725667

    that rule actually is ambiguous, even self-contradictory:

    “resembling english”

    “normal english”

    i prefer to interpret it more towards the first definition

    in reply to: How to write an easily readable post. #725664

    “rules” have a connotation of the implication of “required”

    you should have said “guidelines”

    in reply to: Riddle #723433

    im very glad to see you back

    “remind me if i forget” wonderful.

    in reply to: Riddle #723432

    you can put an axis anywhere you want

    but when you compare your position to the “position” of the virtual person im the mirror there has been a virtual rotation along the up down axis. of course there was no rotation at all just we pretend there is another person in the mirror and according to his perspective, his right is our left.

    forget the mirror, stand facing another person. you have the same perspective as far as up-down. also east west. north south, but right left are called depending on whos perspective. this is just a convention of nomenclature but does not represent any reality

    in reply to: Riddle #723430

    nothing is inverted

    its a matter of nomenclature

    up and down is the same however you rotate yourself through an axis going from your head to toes

    right to left only “changes” because we imagine the perspective of the person in the image, and change the nomenclature accordingly.

    in reply to: Falling in Love- a Jewish Concept? #724566

    thats a good question and deserves a good answer.

    so what do the Meforshim TELL us that it means?

    in reply to: Falling in Love- a Jewish Concept? #724564

    please…..read the title and the first few responses.

    no one is arguing that “being” in love is only a non-Jewish idea.

    read: “falling”

    in reply to: Falling in Love- a Jewish Concept? #724562

    wolf i think that quote and the whole thread have to do with “falling” in love, not “being” in love.

    in other words the question at hand is the concept of meeting someone for a few minutes, or just looking at them once, or going on a date or two and deciding you are in love with them.

    in reply to: Should a Yid own a Dog? Woof Woof! #1168818

    no-one told you what to do.

    if you want to have a dog, wonderful

    yes people have expressed their opinions here

    if you dont think those opinions matter you are perfectly free to disregard them

    this is a forum

    there are people who dont have your opinion

    in reply to: Should a Yid own a Dog? Woof Woof! #1168815

    thanks

    in reply to: Should a Yid own a Dog? Woof Woof! #1168813

    i thought it was 600,000 sheep?

    in reply to: Thank You Hashem for Global Warming #723058

    exactly popa

    but i did address this here

    http://www.theyeshivaworld.com/coffeeroom/topic/global-warming-1?view=all#post-183853

    and a little differently in other threads

    the temperature of the earth varies over times and there are variences within the variences and smaller variances within those, trends within trends

    to take an infinitesimal period of time and chart the trend during that time tells you close to NOTHING about the larger trend, and where that larger trend fits in the even larger trends.

    besides how do you measure the earth temperature?

    on the surface?

    a mile high?

    an average of all heights?

    the ground temperature, how many locations, which locations?, the ground temperature varies quite widely all over the surface of the earth. right now where i live the temperature near the lake and a mere 2 miles away is 10 degrees different.

    anything less that millions and millions of measurements many times during the day will be innacurate.

    the sea temperature, how deep in the sea, an average of all depths?

    what horizontal locations?

    do you average all locations or give more weight to some?

    average the ground temperatures with the sea temperatures?

    how about the ice temperatures below the surface?

    and the locations of measurement must be consistent throughout time

    do we have even ONE DAY with temperature measurements all over the globe horizontally, all over the globe vertically from the depths of the ocean to the heights of the atmosphere.

    to claim there is global warming is the epitome of stupidity, short-sightedness, and arrogance

    which the scientism of deep theory has always been guilty of
