    Re subsistence hunting: I live in an area where it is quite common. The majority of subsistence hunters I know support gun registration and expanded background checks. As a gun owner I have no problem with registering my weapons.

    Try your local walmart or shop Amazon (if you like sending rich people to outer space). If you’re not looking for a status watch with a tourbillon movement, a simple Timex could work. A Timex Weekender is only about $38.

    How the heck can he be ‘the most acquitted person in this country’? Gotti has him beat with three. I’m sure there are other criminals who have also been acquitted. Acquittal doesn’t mean innocence.

    I seem to remember Hillary testifying under oath for hours and never taking the fifth. The former president once claimed that those taking the fifth were guilty. I’ll wait a few beats for the maga apologists to claim he was joking.

    I live in that other state that doesn’t have self serve. We have no shortage of attendants, our unemployment is still around 4%. Of course we don’t have stations with 12 pumps in my area either.

    AAQ, I want to back up a bit. The FSLA was enacted into law in 1938. Both of my parents worked as children prior to this law. By the time it was enacted they were both adults.

    Republicans refuse to address school shootings in any practical way. They have a long history of resisting comprehensive background checks or limiting the sale of weapons that are typically used to slaughter our school children.

    AAQ as I stated earlier, I can’t rationalize child labor like you do. My own life experience leads me to far different conclusions.

    I have very strong feelings about the weakening of child labor laws by states. My mother started to work in the sweatshops at the age of 7 as a immigrant child. By the time the FLSA was enacted she was an adult. The was long before ‘woke’ became a dog whistle for the right.

    The question I have is will the Jewish owner of the business file charges against the Jewish kids who were part of the melee? Would he testify against them if the PD chooses to file charges?

    Do your schools teach the holocaust per Wiki? I sit on the curriculum committee for my local public schools and we used numerous first person sources as well as some well accepted histories of the third reich when we adopted a holocaust studies curriculum years ago. (FWIW my local public schools do not permit wiki to be cited.)

    lakwhut, point of information: The majority of wood grown for pulp (paper applications boxes, tp, paper plates etc) come from plantations. Timber (alder) is grown on plantations and cut and replanted based on the end use. (For the purpose of plywood and construction different strains of alder are planted and harvested at different times.) Timber for pulp and building are managed renewable resources. Plastic never goes away. If you hate paper straws so much invest in some silicone ones or stainless steel.

    Joseph, the man has two charges against him. Frankly if I had a child and a man physically led him out of a building I would fully drop kick him in the crotch. Yid or no yid. Frankly I’d prefer to be wearing Doc Martins when I did it, but hell I’ll sacrifice my Manolos. I’d drop him first and wait until he was done puking to hear his excuse.FWIW you are not the arbiter of what is legal. Now go tend to you wifes. LoL.

    Again, he basic issue is the person in question did not have permission to touch this child. There were plenty of men around to escort him to the door.

    As previously mentioned, you do not touch other peoples kids regardless of your perceived needs. This wasn’t a life or death situation. There were plenty of men present to accompany him. FWIW he still has two charges pending.

    CS, there is nothing in evidence to support your claim that ALL charges were dropped. Some charges were dropped. According to the ADAs office these two charges haven’t been dropped, PL 260. 10 01 and PL 135.05 00.

    Menache, this was a child. A child cannot give consent to an adult. There appeared to be any number of adult males he could have asked.

    For the record, not all charges were dropped. This individual should know not to touch any child without their parents permission (unless a life and death issue). Ergo I think there may be more to this story. There were adult males there who could have walked with the purported perp. Something is totally off about this story.

    Libraries are funded by municipalities and sometimes some state $$. Communities can protest this funding on a local level if they disagree with catalog choices. If you don’t use the library, their content shouldn’t impact you.

    Lostspark, you’ve got me drooling!! I’m off to the market for some minor shopping and I’ll be sure to pick up a jar of herring. I put some red onions up the other day to pickle them, perfect on a herring sandwich.

    I love this thread. My grandfather owned a corner shop and was well known in our town for his pickled herring and corned beef. The brine recipe for beef survived after his passing and its what I use today. The herring recipe was lost to the ages.

    In later years a Swedish friend took me to meet the fishing boats in San Pedro to buy herring and taught me how to pickle herring. Alas, fresh herring is not available here in the PNW so I haven’t pickled herring in 31 years.

    Lostspark, I’d quite forgotten the Russian way which was my mothers preference. I’ll invest in a jar of pickled herring this week and will give it a try. My mother included caraway seeds in her recipe when she was frying the onions. I will never forget that fragrance. TYVM

    I bought a chia head of former president at Big Lots a year ago as a gag gift to a friend. I’m sure I paid less than $5. A few weeks later I get a call from my friend who tells me I got ripped off. The head only grew green hair, not the orange rats nest he usually sported.

    Shiduchim was not a part of my family’s culture. As related above, women and men met organically, at simchas, community events. My husband and I met during chemo therapy. In my community boys and girls were permitted to play and talk with each other and learn to communicate with the opposite gender from an early age. One of my brothers married a woman he met at my cousin’s shabbos table. Another cousin was introduced to her future husband while working in a family members business.

    1 it sounds like you don’t have much experience with vote by mail. I’ve been voting by mail for decades. One year after hand surgery my signatures didn’t match and I got a text, phone call and email telling the same. It was a simple matter providing an exemplar and signing an affidavit.
