It gets complicated, because the rich have more options for sheltering their income.
@RebYidd23: Exactly.
Search for “portable oil-filled radiator”. They’re relatively efficient. But for a large room, you’d probably need more than one of them.
It’s a reaction to the left’s continuing efforts to control what people may say or think.
In view of a recent Daf Yomi, I think the Moon would be offended by this topic.
Discussion topics like this one make me wonder what people who aren’t observant Jews think if they come across this site.

Iyov 19:26Doesn’t Shmiras Einayim conflict with being a “light unto the nations”?
Going to a non-all male gym is forbidden by Jewish law.
My understanding is that it’s a fence, not a law.
For me, the difference is:
Out of Town is where I am. In Town is where I am not.
That won’t happen, because:
1) Too many liberals support Israel.
2) Israel is important to the U.S. military-wise.The Art of War, by Sun Tzu.
Here’s another option. Get arrested frequently. You’ll have the opportunity to observe the driving from the back seat.

It’s possible for a wind gust to flip a plane. I don’t know if the “swamped” analogy applies to planes.
Light planes have to be especially careful when landing or taking off behind large, heavy planes, because of “wingtip vortices” produced by the big planes.
Here’s a specific example:
Suppose an airplane has a stall speed of 48 knots, and there’s a headwind of 60 knots. The plane doesn’t have to fly at 60+48=108 knots to keep from stalling. Since the plane is inside the air mass that’s moving at 60 knots, it only has to fly at 48 knots (indicated air speed) relative to the enclosing air mass. To an observer on the ground, though, the plane would appear to be flying at 48-60=-12 knots, i.e. it would appear to be moving backwards at 12 knots.
a plane needs to faster than the wind to keep up airspeed so that it won’t stall
That’s not exactly how it works. The airplane is “inside the wind”, so it’s relative airspeed that matters. Actually it’s the “angle of attack” that determines when a plane stalls.A brokerage service that lets you sell your share in the World to Come for cash.
The guys controlling all this need your taxes to pay their salaries, so that won’t happen.
Was it a towered airport or non towered airport
Yes 🙂
I flew in and out of lots of airports. Some had FAA control towers, some only had FBO’s monitoring the radio, some had neither.
@Cessna172
Thanks for the info. In that case, I could fly, but not legally. But the typical passenger would not know the difference. 🙂
I flew out of an airport other than FRG. 🙂
Joseph, I think that car accidents are much much more common than general/private aviation accidents. When I served as chief of police of a large city for eight years, we had to respond to tens of thousands of car accidents, but only a handful of airplane accidents.
(One of the above statements is false.)
Another thought occurred to me.
I haven’t piloted an airplane for decades. But as far as I know, my private pilot license is still valid (they don’t expire). If I renewed my medical certificate, which only requires a visit to a doctor, I could legally get in a Cessna 172 tomorrow and fly it. That’s assuming that the owner of the airplane didn’t require taking me for a checkride.
That’s one difference between private vs. commercial aviation. There’s far less oversight by the government. It’s up to individuals to verify that the aircraft has been properly maintained and that the pilot is competent.
@tgsm
Because statistically, car accidents are much more common than airplane accidents.Suppose you shoot an arrow at a target.
At any instant of time, the arrow is at a fixed position in the air.
So the arrow is never in motion.
Therefore, motion does not exist!.@Cessna172
I have a private pilot license and have flown Cessna 172’s, although it’s been a long time. Before I started flight training, I knew absolutely nothing about small planes or how planes work.
I suspect the reluctance of the prospective passengers is due to ignorance.
Will the “Right” of MO wake up in time?
In time for what?
How is this different from the questions obtained by replacing “Right of MO” with “Conservative”, “Reform” or “secular”?
Among otd people, there’s a notably greater proportional representation of children of bt’s.
I first read that as “Among old people”, and spent a few minutes to trying to understand it.

Is “blocking your driveway” meant to be interpreted literally, or is it a metaphor?
I’m disappointed that no one wants to interpret “blocking your driveway” as a metaphor, especially considering that this is the “Inspiration / Mussar ” forum.

And anyone know what a wormhole would do and how you can make one?
I make wormholes as a hobby. I usually sell them on Ebay or Craigslist. I’d be happy to give one to a fellow Coffee Roomer, but, unfortunately, we can’t post links here.
Examples?
The Wikipedia article on “time dilation” has a detailed explanation of this effect.
People who have alcohol abuse problems don’t talk about alcohol, they just drink it. So there’s really no issue here.

*idea*
The Jews who perform kaparos using chickens could team up with an organization that collects the “used” chickens as soon as the ritual has been completed. The organization would then “process” the chickens to prepare meals for homeless people or other people in need.
Maybe the same organization could also provide a “humane” storage area for the live chickens prior to kaparos.
If no such organization exists, one could be created for this purpose.
If you could convince enough members of the Reform and Conservative movements of this, the movements would run out of funds and disappear.
Thanks, Joseph. I chose to use $20.
If money is used instead of a chicken, is there a traditional amount of money to use?
@Doing my best
I think that’s the way the welfare system works now, in theory. But “the devil is in the details”.It was taught in a Baraisa in the name of R’Yehoshua ben Korchah: … So too, the Holy One, Blessed is He, said: Did I create domesticated and wild animals for any purpose other than [the benefit of] man?
Sanhedrin 108aSo maybe using chickens for kapparos is a Kiddush Hashem?
@CTLAWYER
Have you met any famous musicians, such as John Lennon, Leonard Bernstein or Elvis?Its cheaper in the long run to train a robot then to train a monkey.
Maybe, maybe not. Monkey-made-pizza shops might have better prospects for government grants and franchising opportunites.
Better to buy frozen pizza and heat it up at home yourself.
It’s actually possible to make a pizza from basic ingredients at home. It’s very similar to baking bread. 🙂
A related question: If a monkey were trained to make a pizza, would that be halachically permitted? Assume the monkey’s training includes proper hygiene, such as hand washing, and wearing gloves and a hairnet (or in this case, perhaps a “bodynet”).
