    ps if you didnt understand my previous post ill put it in “normal” human terms. your riddle was somewhat ambiguous (that means that it lends itself to more than one understanding)

    in reply to: The Riddle Thread…. #1069227

    of course i am a prodigy

    your phraseology was minimally rigorous at best

    in the future please email me your “riddles” so i may correct the verbiage before you give us prodigies a headache trying to unravel your intent.

    that person was in second place before, or after, you overtook him?

    in reply to: Hashkofos & Apikorsos #699674

    thats up to you

    maybe this will make you feel better:

    it was on tape 176 in the e series, 112 minutes into the talk, following a question on whether one can read the Jewish press.

    in reply to: Hashkofos & Apikorsos #699672

    i do that a lot.

    he said it in the question session at the end of one of his thurs night talks

    somewhere in the first 200 talks

    sorry cant be more specific

    in reply to: Hashkofos & Apikorsos #699670

    I think the difference is that by Sodom Hashem clearly said this was a punishment, but by the Akeida He simply stated it as a tziyvuy.

    basically what Rabbi Avigdor Miller, tzl said in answer to that same question posed to him

    in reply to: Should the caveat ask "LOR" be obsoletd? #698832

    no blinky

    this is too important to take a chance on any misunderstanding.

    people might think you mean to consult your “youth hostel”

    or “young husband” or even “Yitzchak Horowitz”

    in reply to: Should the caveat ask "LOR" be obsoletd? #698829

    I think the vast majority of people will consult the same person no matter what you call him.

    i actually used to consult a well known Posek but since someone once wrote to “ask your LOR” i now go to any local orthodox Rabbi. i always take everything literally and do whatever some stranger on the internet tells me. thats why i agree that this is a very important issue.

    thats why we really should change it to: YLEIHQTGAPITPAOHIWYHTSSAWPATYAH

    im sure we can stop everyone in the world from using this archaic and easily misunderstood “LOR” if we decide the matter here

    shall we take a vote?

    great point, okay, from now on everyone please replace LOR by: “YLEIHQTGAPITPAOHIWYHTSSAWPATYAH”

    your local expert in Halacha, qualified to give a psak in the particular area of Halacha in which you have this specific shaila, and who Poskins according to your ancestral heritage.

    “Your Personal Halachic advisor” as you suggested if far too nonspecific and could be interpreted in different ways. I think with my suggestion there is no room for misunderstanding.

    There is a case of a clearly military order of knighthood for women. It is the order of the Hatchet (orden de la Hacha) in Catalonia. It was founded in 1149 by Raymond Berenger, count of Barcelona, to honor the women who fought for the defense of the town of Tortosa against a Moor attack. The dames admitted to the order received many privileges, including exemption from all taxes, and took precedence over men in public assemblies

    contains glycine

    could be by ingesting glycine you could become an apikorus:

    “The detection of glycine in the interstellar medium has been debated. In 2008, the glycine-like molecule aminoacetonitrile was discovered in the Large Molecule Heimat, a giant gas cloud near the galactic center in the constellation Sagittarius by the Max Planck Institute for Radio Astronomy. In 2009, glycine sampled in 2004 from comet Wild 2 by the NASA spacecraft Stardust was confirmed, the first discovery of extraterrestrial glycine. That mission’s results bolstered the theory of panspermia, which claims that the “seeds” of life are widespread throughout the universe.

    im really not sure what you mean to imply squeak, if anything.

    but whatever it is, as i said, i dont have the answer to your original question and was trying to do the best i could with some perhapses.

    i dont know the true status of Yiddish, and i highly doubt if anyone who posts here does.

    in reply to: giving children english names #699209

    Mod80- in that case, why didn’t you mention that psak back when we were discussing “Is Yiddish Holy”? Clearly it must be if what you say is true.

    good question. i dont know why i dint mention it, it didnt enter my mind perhaps. perhaps it isnt a proof of the Kedusha of Yiddish, i dont know the reason for the psak exactly. perhaps it is because Yiddish has entered into a kinyan so to speak of belonging to the Jewish People. perhaps Yiddish is Kodesh but on a different madreiga than “Loshon HaKodesh”

    these things are certainly beyond my little daas.

    in reply to: giving children english names #699204

    re: Zalman

    i had a personal shaila about my “Hebrew” name which is actually Yiddish.

    asked a Posek, he said no need to change it. a Yiddish name has the same status as a Hebrew name, even though much of Yiddish is absorbed from other languages.

    that’s why this is a “yo-yo” diet

    it works like this:

    you identify your relatives *kin* that have mental *complexes*, and are thereby very *sad*

    you spend as much time with them as possible thus making you lose your appetite.

    thus the name sad kin complex

    good question yanky.

    perhaps one should ask a shaila from a posek, and not rely on his own limited logic and feelings

    “i skipped high school”

    not me

    the state wouldnt allow it

    but they let me teach the advanced high school physics course instead of attending as a student.

    the students couldnt believe that such a knowledgeable 10 year old was actually cool and not nerdy!

    in reply to: The Riddle Thread…. #1069166

    oh okay

    sometimes it hard for me to understand the workings of simple minds.

    i guess ill just stay out of this discussion then

    in reply to: The Riddle Thread…. #1069164

    dont you think that is a bit oversimplified, doctor?

    actually squeaks question would best be asnwered by a method of solving a set of linear equations that me and some of the boys at MIT have been working on:

    A system of linear equations is homogeneous if all of the constant terms are zero:

    begin{alignat}{7} a_{11} x_1 &&; + ;&& a_{12} x_2 &&; + cdots + ;&& a_{1n} x_n &&; = ;&&& 0 \ a_{21} x_1 &&; + ;&& a_{22} x_2 &&; + cdots + ;&& a_{2n} x_n &&; = ;&&& 0 \ vdots;;; && && vdots;;; && && vdots;;; && &&& ,vdots \ a_{m1} x_1 &&; + ;&& a_{m2} x_2 &&; + cdots + ;&& a_{mn} x_n &&; = ;&&& 0. \ end{alignat}

    A homogeneous system is equivalent to a matrix equation of the form

    Atextbf{x}=textbf{0}

    [edit] Solution set

    Every homogeneous system has at least one solution, known as the zero solution (or trivial solution), which is obtained by assigning the value of zero to each of the variables. The solution set has the following additional properties:

    1. If u and v are two vectors representing solutions to a homogeneous system, then the vector sum u + v is also a solution to the system.

    2. If u is a vector representing a solution to a homogeneous system, and r is any scalar, then ru is also a solution to the system.

    These are exactly the properties required for the solution set to be a linear subspace of Rn. In particular, the solution set to a homogeneous system is the same as the null space of the corresponding matrix A.

    [edit] Relation to nonhomogeneous systems

    There is a close relationship between the solutions to a linear system and the solutions to the corresponding homogeneous system:

    Atextbf{x}=textbf{b}qquad text{and}qquad Atextbf{x}=textbf{0}text{.}

    Specifically, if p is any specific solution to the linear system Ax = b, then the entire solution set can be described as

    left{ textbf{p}+textbf{v} : textbf{v}text{ is any solution to }Atextbf{x}=textbf{0} right}.

    Geometrically, this says that the solution set for Ax = b is a translation of the solution set for Ax = 0. Specifically, the flat for the first system can be obtained by translating the linear subspace for the homogeneous system by the vector p.

    This reasoning only applies if the system Ax = b has at least one solution. This occurs if and only if the vector b lies in the image of the linear transformation A.
