that was the impression i got also
a man of honesty and integrity (pretty much)
of course i dont follow news and politics
but thats the impression he made on me
and im usually pretty hard to fool, when it comes to “impressions”
i believe my wife would rather not use a liner, though we do sometimes
something about poisonous plastic residues leaching into the food.
personally i say if you cant taste it, it doesnt exist.
thanks for the advice
wolf what do you mean use some water? between the pot and the liner?
making sense of things
is that an inborn human need or is it a learned quality?
lets discuss that
and be sure to stay on topic
cleaning the cholent pot
yes lets discuss that
anyone care to give their explanation as to why topics often get sidetracked?
“From what I’ve found out, when someone signs up on Shtyle they have to give them the password to their email account. This should be a red flag warning that something isn’t right. One should NEVER give out passwords. Any place that demands it cannot be 100% legitimate and should not be trusted. I know that many people like it and see no problem with handing over their information, I suspect they will live to regret it. As you surmised, they used your password to access your online email addresses and are sending out invites. At best this is plain rude, They will probably continue to do this for as ling as they can, First; change your email password so they can’t get anymore addresses. This may invalidate your account with them but I’d call that a small loss considering their behaviour. Second; if you really want to join places like that. Create an online email at “Live.com” or “Hotmail” but DO NOT create an online address file with it. As for what has happened already, I’m afraid all your friends may have to change their email addresses to stop it completely. In the interim they can set up a rule in their email to send anything from Shtyle.fm directly to the deleted items file and make sure that it is set to empty it upon exiting. If they are work addresses then hopefully their company has a good IT person that can stop the spam in its tracks. Third; get yourself the best anti-virus/anti-spam/anti-spyware software you can afford. If you are not sure, ask a professional tech. Someone like a Geek Squad person. For the future, be suspicious. NEVER give out any passwords or personal information on a social network site. Treat your web browsing as a walk through a mine field. Or the same way you would a phone call asking for a credit card number. That may sound paranoid but sadly that is what the net has become. There is no way for you, the user, to know what is going on or who is on the other end.”
oomis im with you 100%
whatever sean connerys accent is
we function, decide, and think based on probabilities
the quoted said scientifically impossible not i.
a measure of how small he thought the probability to be i imagine.
there is a certain probability hat the army ants in africa combine their minds into a vast consciousness and have directed the movements of the celestial bodies. but i dont accept that as a valid scientific theory
there is some oil and sugar in it but it is mostly protein
stem?
i just use whatever ground up stuff comes in the bottle
not much of a gourmet i guess
personally i never use basil
it always gives what to me is a somewhat unpleasant licorice like flavor
i find oregano is a very nice substitute for basil.

There really is no place in the New York area where non-tzniut women are not seen.
well sure.
but i used to go to games years ago before i was frum. i dont need to describe the many hundreds of exceedingly innapropriate things to be seen in any direction one would turn (ways of dressing that would have meant arrest and jail time 100 years ago), and the foul language from all sides. of course this was years ago. things have probably improved by now.
and to bring a yiddshe maidle to such a place!!??
part? um dont you mean whole?
“May not a future generation well ask how any Scientist, in full possession of his faculties and with adequate knowledge of information theory, could execute the feat of cognitive acrobatics necessary to sincerely believe that a supremely complex machine of information, storage and retrieval servicing millions of cells, diagnosing defects and then repairing them in a teleonomic Von Newman machine manner, arose in randomness – the antipole of information”.

i really like that quote, though i dont claim to understand it.
however i always had a problem with probability (even before i was frum). i was never quite convinced that it was a real thing (though a useful concept im sure)
i cant put it into any better words than that because i really dont understand probability or my intuitive objections to it.
maybe you could shed some light on that quote, if that wont ruin it.
that reminds me of byron randall
byron randall was the name of an online friend when i used to spend a lot of time on a photography forum a few years ago.
just a few days ago i was trying to remember the name of a friend of mine from about 30 years ago. his first name was also byron. i still cant recall his last name. and ill tell you why. everytime i bring the name byron up into my consciousness, immediately randall pops up along with it. i am completely unable to recall any other last name that goes with byron except randall.
and there is NOTHING i can do about it. byron randall is stuck in my mind forever, and it prevents any other byron from coming up in my memory.
now i know thats not an exact parallel, but just gives one some indication about how perfectly harmless things can enter your mind unwittingly and prevent other things from entering.
the Mussar seforim speak about this. the more a Yid takes the World to heart, the less room there is for HaKodeshBorchu. and im not even beginning to talk about the pollution and damage from shmutz
“I do not want to believe in God. Therefore I choose to believe in that which I know is scientifically impossible, spontaneous generation leading to evolution.”

well perhaps because it is assur for a Jewish male to go to unecessary places where he will see non-tznius women
or perhaps because there is all sorts of nivel peh being spoken loudly.

R Moshe Feinstein said that all cow’s milk in the US is considered Cholov Yisrael, so there’s no extra benefit to drinking the one that says it on the bottle.
he didnt say that
he said cholov stam in the us was mutar, not that milk in the us is cholov yisroel (and many Poskim hold his Psak was limited only to certain circumstances existing at the time he made the Psak, many hold it still applies))
i dont know exactly pashuteh
its pretty well know
i think its actually in the Chumash and Rashi
maybe someone else can tell you the source
in general in the whole world real happiness comes from accomplishing, growing, improving, creating, and nothing else.
however even this happiness is short-lived and superficial. but it causes happiness because it comes from the deep inner desire to come close to Hashem that was implanted in all men when Hashem blew the breath of life into us from Himself.
only without the Torah the drive to accomplish becomes woefully distorted and manifests itself in building businesses, climbing mountains, flying around the world, yoga, meditation and self-help books.
i would add that Simcha comes from accomplishment in growth, on the path to perfecting oneself in the eyes of Hashem and coming closer to Him
yes
