☕ DaasYochid ☕

Many digital-panel air conditioners (e.g. Friedrich) have built-in timers that let you program on and off times over the course of 24 hours.

Unless I misunderstand your needs, this ought to suffice for Shabbos, no?

The advantage of a mechanical dial is that the a/c will come back on if there’s a power outage.

Parked on the wrong side of the street.

So what’s this week’s?

rosesharon,

What are you doing here? Get back to your assignment! ?

Just kidding, good luck.

My personal minhag each night is to count twice (I say the bracha only once.). I say HaYom Yom Echad LaOmer. HaYom Yom Echad BaOmer. I know that, in truth, one is yotzei either way, but for two extra seconds each night, why not be yotzai both shitos?

I do the same, based on a recommendation I once heard from a certain rov. I wonder, since as you mentioned, you’re yotzei either way, if there’s really a point. Isn’t it comparable to R’ Chaim’s esrog shailah (if you have a m’hudar with a shailah on the yichus and a m’yuchas which is not so nice, take the nicer one first, since once you’re yotzei, you can’t add hiddur.)?

I just looked back at all my posts on this thread, and I think they are quite reasonable.

I thought so too, but that might just be because I’m familiar with your style.

I think they mostly only control if it for example theres a blackout/brownout

Which is on the hottest days of the year, when you most need it.

Moderator, you can remove my post and let someone else have a chance.

Yes, but I’ll leave up popa’s agreement

You’re not really paying attention to what I’m saying.

I think popa did pay attention to what you’re saying, you just didn’t agree. You’re entitled to disagree, by the way.

Oomis, I think you are defining kedusha as anything which you agree with. Many people, though, specifically use the term to refer to separation from ta’avos, and more specifically, for tznius/gender separation issues.

If you know, then it’s definitely assur according to one of those shittos. If you don’t know, then both shittos would mattir it.

RESTORED

42,

You’re still a figment of your imagination, just like you were last week.

DerechHamelech,

That’s what I thought, but that point was seemingly made without sarcasm. I reread it, and now I see how you were using sarcasm for that part as well.

Had you not meant your point about kedusha being in moderation sarcastically, I would have asked you how you understood the S.A.’s use of the term “me’od me’od” when referring to separation of men and women.

They are trying to save energy to prevent a blackout, so they wouldn’t want to turn it back on.

Yes, only central A/C.

they can send me all their money, jewelry, cars, etc. they won’t be needing them.

Why would they waste their time on that, since you wouldn’t need it either? They could use their time much more wisely by removing their furniture tags!

i knew that but usually that doesnt happen

besides i figured you would be polite and not change it so i dont look like an idiot

On the “like button” thread you wrote “I agree” within my edit window. You practically wrote me a blank check, but I resisted temptation. 🙂

not very funny i guess

It was for the people who got it.

No they’re not. You just have to read it with the right inflection. Try using “sarcasm” while reading all four paragraphs.

I didn’t say they were contradictory, I said they seemed so; I wanted an explanation.

The sarcasm seems to end in the last paragraph.

I went to a very frum High School in Brooklyn in the seventies. Loads of girls got nose jobs during their school years, and the Hanhala didnt blink. Nor did any of those girls go Off The Derech.

That just shows that getting a nose job only makes some girls go off the derech. ?

Seriously, it is a real issue, and someone must certainly ask a shaila before doing it, and not fall into the trap of saying “it must be okay because other people do it”.

???????????????????????????

There are many people in need of jobs iin todays market. Perhaps they should look into nose jobs :<)

It might be attractive, but it doesn’t pay well (unless you’re the surgeon.)

I received an email from “Yeshiva World Sponsors” with a link to the following:

http://www.oorah.org/auction/2011/shlomo1a.html

a “Like” button doesn’t just tally up how many people agree, but it also shows the names (usernames) of who agrees. And you could only hit it once.

If so, I agree that there is some value to it.

Like when I ruin your jokes, or like my (sincere) compliment?

*don’t like*

Here’s why:

Many of us here in the CR are familiar with each other’s worldviews, so who agrees is more important than how many agree (I’m assuming that a *like* button merely tallies).

I generally won’t post a simple “I agree” or “I disagree” unless I have something to add to the discussion. On most every issue discussed here, a poll is not very important to me; if I hold a certain opinion, telling me that 77% of the people in the CR who chose to vote disagree with me will not change my mind. A thoughtful comment might.

????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

As an aside, is their any veracity to a *like* button, or can one person hit it multiple times and skew the numbers?

You’re better off not talking to people about who you’re going out with.

s2021,

I hope you took my joke in good humor.

My favorites were always chess and Stratego (does that date me?).

My standards of modesty preclude my having this type of discussion in a public forum.
