My rebbi told me to come here, and never told me to leave. So I guess I’m stuck here.

I’m agonna make me a pickles tonight. I just posted it here to make sure that I do.

They’s gonna be the best thing since spent beer grain bread.

Yes, eat more lower calorie foods.

English people: Please skip this post.

Mod: I disagree with that. People who don’t know what it means will google it, and will think it means “The fstrongly edited I care”. And that is something we should not want.

And yes; I wrote that word; on yeshiva world. I wrote it, because that is exactly what you caused me to read on urban dictionary, when I googled it after you allowed it up. So I’m sharing my experience with you, since you think it is ok.

This reminds me of a time when mod 80 blocked me after I posted an abbreviation which had a meaning I was unaware of. He was incorrect in assuming I had the bad intention, but he was correct that the CR is not the place for abbreviations which will be taken to mean vulgar things by many people.

You wouldn’t post a joke if half the people would understand it in a vulgar way.

syag: In this case, I’m most concerned about the keilim and the barrels, since probably many of the things are davar charif, and assur even if it is eino ben yomo.

I think that is exactly the point. I think there is a gut reaction against saying that all DD donuts are kosher (well, all ones that get from regional bakeries that are kosher).

It seems so funny to imagine that there is really all this kosher food all over the country that we didn’t know about.

But I think that’s all it is. Because I frankly haven’t the slightest idea why you think I should be worried that the server’s sleeve hit a piece of bacon and then happened to brush my donut in a way that is nosein taam, and that the concern is strong enough that it makes it assur.

Back to my original post: the reason that I don’t get this whole BTL thing is because my buddy took college as a joke and dropped out after the first year. It doesn’t make sense how he’s in Harvard law with this BTL. I doubt he wouldn’t gotten into Harvard law had he stayed in college.

Sounds like he did the right thing by dropping out of college then.

Please don’t be offended, but how can a frum Jew be a lawyer? A lawyer takes cases of people he either knows is guilty or does not know is innocent and yet claims and defends his innocence with untruths. A lawyer defends thieves in their attempts to skirt their obligations. A lawyer, by proffession, lies in open court. Either knowingly or knowing it may well be lies. A lawyers duty is to seek the freedom of his clients who are a danger to society.

lol

That is not what most lawyers do.

A lawyer sits and reads thousands of pages of documents looking for contract clauses which might be relevant to the transaction at hand. A lawyer drafts thousand page contracts based on previous contracts to accord with the precise terms that the parties want in this case. A lawyer parses through obscure sections of the Code of Federal Regulations and ultimately concludes there is no correct answer. A lawyers duty is to keep on reading and sending emails until he falls asleep in his office.

But the majority of the stores are not, so unless you’re eating it straight out of the carton, you’re likely to be eating something that has been in contact with treifis.

I’m sorry, but that is ????? ?? ??? ???????

If someone is trying to use a BTL to get into law school, and needs to assume they will look at the transcript even if they normally don’t, it would be good to have some credits for writing courses, basic American history, and basic social sciences. These can always be picked up from an accredited online university (such as University of Maryland’s University College or Western Governors University).

I do not recommend this unless you are confident you will get A’s in all those classes, and are willing to put in the work to do so. The GPA component of your application is also very important, and a few B+’s can sink your straight A’s from yeshiva.

jbaldy: I know one who got in for this year (meaning, currently a 1L). He didn’t go; he went to harvard.

@brooklyn brine

Thanks for coming to post here. Your stuff looks really good and I’m kind of dying to buy a jar.

I can’t seem to find any hits when I google his name, or OCS. I can’t really rely on a kosher certification unless I can verify that it is from someone who is experienced in the industry and who has standards that I can trust. If I don’t know the agency personally, I’d need to rely on other people who do know it personally.

That’s why it is always really best to have a name brand certification. Such as the OU, OK, Chof-K, Star-K, cRc.

Unhealthy?

I would eat them. If I knew that store was getting from bakery certified OU. Assumedly, different bakeries across country may not be certified.

Cornell is still better than Georgetown. I don’t care about little year to year shifts in the stupid things US news accounts for.

Also, please don’t advise transferring. Everybody who goes to law school intends to be in the top 10%. Only 10% do that. Nobody can possibly be confident in their abilities about that.

That’s the first time I’ve ever been called average.

I would like to buy pickles from Brooklyn Brine. They have a hashgacha, but it is not through an agency, it is just a rabbi working on his own. And I don’t know him, and I’m not aware he was ever affiliated with a certifying agency.

So I’m not buying them.

If they were really a choshuv school, they wouldn’t take yiddin at all.

Harvard let him in? ??? ???? ???????

I just love it when a person decides he knows what G-d is thinking. Oy.

You talking about Sam, or about Rav Moshe Feinstein?

So this guy walks up to me at the first seudah I was at, and gives me a shalach manos bag. It was a very nice one, with very nice things inside.

So I told him, you know, there is no way I am remembering to take this with me. And he says, you better remember.

Then he comes back to me the next day, and asks if I took it. Of course I didn’t take it!

So then he gets huffy at me, and says he won’t give me next year. I told him to give it all to tro11.

Or I simply feed it to my kids.

Perhaps they intended it as kid food? They know that feeding kids is expensive and wanted to help you out.

People like to get rid of their homemade junk before pesach; you really can’t complain about it.

This usually helps http://www.theyeshivaworld.com/coffeeroom/profile/popa_bar_abba

Sorry poppa I checked the Pesukim and effectively Achashverosh did cancel Homon’s decree:

lol wut?

Keep reading, and let us know when you get to the part where the king says he cannot cancel it because you can’t cancel decrees from the king.

Well, for starters, because achashverosh didn’t cancel haman’s decree…
