Maybe transportable is a better term.
Don’t forget the Two Minutes Hate.
There’s also nothing mentioned about checking the p’ri ha’eitz for bugs.
Communism is against religion
So is democracy.brainwashed by communism and have no respect for Judaism
Which is closer to Judaism: Communism or Democracy?
The money is well spent if it helps us have a secular government that supports religious freedom and is friendly to Israel.
Let’s hope that she becomes the Democrat’s candidate. That will guarantee that the Republicans win next year. 🙂
Only if you are a Vulcan.
But even Vulcans experience Pon farr every seven years.
practicing violin until his fingers bleed
No pain, no gain.
You are required to spend all your money to avoid an issur…
What’s the source for that?
1. The surgical (sanitary) mask is a brilliant idea.
2. Air Canada staff will no longer greet ‘ladies and gentlemen’ onboard planes: “We will be amending our onboard announcements to modernize them and remove specific references to gender,” a media spokesperson for the company said.
Use phosphorescent materials in the pavement.
It’s ironic that a machine is deciding who is human and who is not.
Those are the left’s childish games. That’s not the way to win the 2020 election. He should stay focused on making and keeping America great.
I resent your implication that I am insane.
Oh, come on. We all know you’re insane. But that’s ok. Most of the posters here are insane.
Personally, I would either keep my hand by my side, or salute.
What’s scary is that in a few years there will be smartphone implants, and they will become commonplace.
What exactly should “our leaders” do that we can’t do ourselves? Anyone can step up and set an example to follow.
A violin would be a better choice because you can carry it with you and practice wherever you are. Pick up a cheap used one. You don’t need a course. Learn to play it by trial and error.

If you wrote an autobiography and it were made into a film, which actor would you like to portray you?What about a moose as a goose?
When I first became observant, I lived in an area where kosher meat was scarce, and I adopted the habit of eating meat only on Shabbos and Yom Tov, and eating canned fish on weekdays.
They seem to follow the ways of the mainstream media by publishing provocative articles that entice people to click on them.
Even the area Chabad shuls don’t chain the parking lots.
Do any Chabad shuls/houses chain their parking lots on Shabbos? That would seriously conflict with their outreach mission, i.e., welcoming Jews of all observance levels.
Your new neighbor, who knows nothing about Judaism, knocks on your door on Saturday morning, tells you his car won’t start, and asks you to drive him to an important job interview. No one else is available to do this.
When you politely explain why you can’t do that, is it a Kiddush Hashem?
Beans and Pasta
Put eight ounces of dried beans and eight ounces of pasta into a large pot, fill with water, and cook at a full boil for an hour.
The baby’s stomach burns at a cooler temperature than the hand.
How was this determined?
I’m sorry, but what is affirmative action a euphemism for? I’ve only ever heard it used in its most literal definition: a law requiring less qualified blacks/women to be hired instead of more qualified white males.
Isn’t that what makes it a euphemism? I’m using the definition, “A euphemism is a generally innocuous word or expression used in place of one that may be found offensive or suggest something unpleasant.”
Do you think it’s offensive to say “passed away” instead of “died?” Or, “took his own life” instead of “killed himself?”
If those are euphemisms, I think they fall into a different category than ones such as “affirmative action” or “undocumented immigrant”. Your examples use polite language, the latter distort the underlying meanings.
How about describing a bank robber as an “aspiring account holder”?
No one can figure out why some terms are more offensive than others.
Maybe that’s the point:
Put your opponent on the defensive by confusing him, and gain power over him by forcing him to accept your irrational demands.
“The Art of War”, by Sun Tzu@PracticalPost
Thanks for the “person first” explanation.I suppose other examples could be:
“troll” vs. “person who trolls”
“moderator” vs. “person who moderates”Yes.
The resources would be better spent on developing new technologies such as warp drives and transporters.
Isn’t the whole federal budget basically a Ponzi scheme?
Why is it ok to say “people of color” but not “colored people”? What’s the difference?
How do you visit a certain sub-forum? Say, “Controversial topics”, or “Catskills”?
You can click on the link to a sub-forum, if that link is visible on the current page. If I recall correctly, there used to be a page with links to all the subforums.
CTL is still upset that a certain deranged woman lost the election in 2016.
If the idea was to make it a struggle to learn, the gemorah would have been written in Hebrew, not Aramaic. Aramaic was the everyday spoken language of the people, as is English in the US
I think the idea is to study the teachings of the Tannaim, Amoraim and later commentators. Those teachings are best represented in a language in which they were fluent.
I would study in Aramaic or Hebrew if I could, but for now, I have to use English. Otherwise I’d have to spend a week on each sentence.
No one here says insulting things about the Rebbe. It is his followers that bring shame upon him.
That’s a very good point. I have no criticism of the Chabad movement as a whole. Some of its followers, on the other hand, while nice and mean well, behave like it’s a cult and indoctrinate rather than teach.
what is the conclusion?
This is obviously a matter of widely varying opinions. So the conclusion depends on who you ask.
None of the gardening stores near me even have airplane seeds.
But there’s bird seed, and birds are like airplanes.
The effect is much different when you’re at the controls and looking out the front windows, than when you’re a passenger in a back seat.
You won’t be pitching anything to them that’s not already being pushed (except for the beer part maybe).
Do they have those giant foam hands that you put on your hand or a stick?
She makes outrageous, provocatve statements to stay in the news. Just ignore her.

My knowledge of the Boeing 737 MAX issues is limited to what I’ve read in news articles.
My impression is that the problem was not the fault of the pilots. Having 10,000 hours of flight experience in Cessna 172’s would not have helped them.
Someone at Boeing had the nifty idea of having the airplane automatically correct a stall or imminent stall, which all pilots learn how to do very early in flight training. The stall correction feature malfunctioned, and the pilots lacked the specific knowledge of how to override the overly complicated automatic system.
@Captain
Why don’t you provide an expert analysis of why the crashes occurred, and who was at fault?a drone that will only do what its programmed to do
And often programming is faulty, Or unexpected hardware problems can occur.
Consider the recent issues with the Boeing 737 MAX.
In the case of a ground vehicle, there’s always a fallback option to shut off the engine and stop. That wouldn’t work very well for an aircraft.
I cut my own hair. The only problem is that I can’t find any of that blue stuff that you put combs in.
