    As for sms, if you want to keep it off and still use those services, there is another way. Set yourself up a Google number and give that to the bank.

    There are plenty of people who use it to their own benefit. Just make sure to remember your current sentiment.

    Being mature with an advanced device constantly in your reach takes practice, like any other Mida. When you see the way other people use that nauseates you, take note and make a mental note not to look like that.

    Our parents didn’t have these things early on so we aren’t disciplined on its etiquette. We’ll have to make it up on our own, and well enough to be able to help the next generation.

    Get used to ignoring notifications, or mute them. For emergencies people will call (an added on capability of smartphones).

    But the good news is, that if you didn’t get it in order to have fun but rather out of an actual necessity, and if you actually care more about your biological life, you will most likely succeed in not having it take over your life. But make a note to stop and reevaluate your position in half a year.

    So it’s a celebration of the thumbing of a nose? As I said, it is a completely secular commemoration. It’s about a declaration of independence, not of divine deliverance. Celebrate with fireworks, not liturgy.

    Or do what you want but don’t make believe it is what it isn’t.

    For all this talk about if the celebration is of military victory or a relief from our tormentors, it’s neither. This day celebrates the beginning of a bad war! It’s an independence day. Nothing more, nothing less. If you’d only keep it that way without stuffing in religious significance we’d all be better off.

    If you really want to celebrate in the Jewish tone, celebrate the end of the war, 9th of Adar or the tenth, being the day after. Perhaps the ending wasn’t glamorous enough, but that would be a celebration of Hashem’s help. Celebrating an announcement that started (or preempted) the war is simply a nationalistic idea. Just keep it as that.

    And, at this opportunity, I thank Hashem once more for the wonderful display of kindness and miracles He showed us in our times, ועל ארץ חמדה טובה ורחבה.

    As the Medrash says in Shir Hashirim, this is great and wonderful and let them rejoice, but we await the presence of the Shechinah.

    Participant

    The rule is well known, שוה כסף ככסף. He has Chametz in your domain and says you should keep it. In Bava Kama 46b we find the Gemara quoting the saying that if someone owes you money take whatever he offers for soon even that won’t be available.

    As the Rishonim there point out, usually we don’t allow payment in such form since you received money and should therefore be courteous enough to return money. In this case however, obviously accepting the Chametz as value is part of the deal.

    The Gemara says that Tzurba Derabanan have a hard time with it. There is resistance because you feel like you will be held back rather than advancing. But as is the case with learning in general, once you begin and delve in it becomes enjoyable and rewarding.

    The best time to review is at the verge of forgetting. This way it comes back to life. What you worked on last time to make sense out of it well flow easy the second time around. That is akin to harvesting what you sowed. If you don’t review, it is like planting but never coming back around to collect the fruits. You aren’t really internalizing when you just made sense out of it. When you relearn with clear understanding that is when you internalize it.

    “HaLeiVi, how can OpenDNS accomplish the OP’s goals?”
    It is a free filter


    Also, your wireless IP changes.

    Hence the necessity of the dynamic IP updater app.


    And why do you need Optimum’s WiFi altogether?

    That’s also free. Otherwise, I had to look at data usage. Besides, many apps run better or backup while using Wi-Fi only. I’m sure these can be changed but again, that would ramp up data usage.

    I’ve used OpenDNS on my android. But fit that I had to root the phone, get a DNS forwarder, and a dynamic IP update app to send OpenDNS my current IP address.

    For some reason, though, my phone wouldn’t connect while on Optimum’s Wi-Fi. They block DNS servers. I contacted them, but they seem to be oblivious about it.

    It’s actually your post that did it. You created a list item but didn’t end it. This system has all the posts listed and styled a certain way. Because you didn’t end your list item, and since this system doesn’t check for that, you ruined the list hierarchy that the style page depends on.

    You see, the Rema did not receive this Halacha through Nevuah (for if he did, it would be a bigger problem). He is explaining the Pshat of Ad Deli Yodda mentioned in the Gemara. The Gemara clearly and obviously mentioned this phase as a reference to drinking. To take this idea of not knowing your surroundings as an end all its own is ludicrous. Where in the Megilla is it rooted? Does it commemorate Hamman’s death by experiencing a 1/60 death?

    But for those whom this is (somehow) not enough, look in Darkei Moshe where it is much clearer, or in the Rambam he mentions there as a source that writes: ושותה יין עד שישתכר וירדם בשכרותו.

    So yes, this is a rant. A well deserved one.

    If it is an easy adjustment, I’d suggest allowing the dir attribute to blockquote and other tags. When you write Hebrew, the last period comes out on the right side. Although the browser is smart enough to show rtl characters right-to-left it doesn’t know to attach that last period to the Hebrew.

    But until then, we can just add the &rlm; (Right Left Mark) at the end. Thus we get:
    טקסט שלם ימין לשמאל, כולל הנקודה.‏

    But allowing align=right would complete the picture.

    myfriend, it’s not really that much. In the database there will be one more field by each name showing how much his hits are worth, and another field in the comments table recording how many hits were recieved.

    As far as being abused, perhaps. However they can always give it a try, or you can make a newcomer have a very low rating.

    If they can’t be consistent then there another (complicated) method. The comments should go up right away, at least when all moderators are signed off. Every logged in user will find a button near each comment that they can click on to consider it inappropriate. If it gets three hits then it will have to wait for the mods. Additionally, for more realistic purposes, every user will be secretly saved by the mods or whoever how trustworthy they are, in their eyes. When a comment gets ten points off it goes. Trust points can be based on how often this user had to be edited and how angry he/she gets at other commenters, and how many times the user clicked wrongly on a comment and so on.

    It’s weird that basic concepts in Yiddishkeit are up for grabs, and people would rather think up original meanings or depend on a Pasuk when there are Sefarim available. It’s fine if you found an approach that you can relate to and you go by that, but to say you saw a word in the Pasuk or just what sounds sweet is where the trouble starts.

    The Rambam didn’t make his Hilchos Dayos based on articles that he read or an inspirational email he got (that originated from a Christian website). He was Me’ayin in the areas of the Torah that those Midos can be learned. The same goes for all other Sefarim that deal with De’os. Even though you’ll find quotes from outside of the Torah, that is for technical support. They checked those opinions first against the Torah. They through out the window anything that didn’t echo the Torah’s perspective.

    Being that you mention that you have a daughter at home, you actually don’t want to work from home. Perhaps you can get yourself a private office someplace.

    As someone else here pointed out, even if it is technically ok, we wouldn’t want to have our hands in Tuma. However, Parnassa is not something taken lightly, even in Halacha. Perhaps Chazal were refering to this case when they said Pshot Neveila Bashuk V’al Titztarech Labrios.

    I think that it might be Muttar if you stay within the boundaries of what is already considered normal and decent. By non Jews there is also an Issur of Lifnei Iver when we are talking about something that they are Mechuyav. The thing we have to know is are they Oiver on these things that are Parutz by them already.
