popa_bar_abbaParticipant
I don’t mean citing a study; I mean knowing how examine info for statistical significance.
I don’t think I ever did it on this site, but on a different one, I did. You won’t find it.
But if the occasion arises, I’ll do it for you.
popa_bar_abbaParticipantKnowing statistics can make you sound very smart, when in fact you are really dumb. I use this to great effect.
popa_bar_abbaParticipantThat one is not a kids tape. I never let my kids listen to it; I only let them listen to rachmanninininininoofff
popa_bar_abbaParticipantWIY: I didn’t try hard in high school and studied very hard for the SATs and did just fine.
Anyone who doesn’t score in the 99th percentile is an idiot.
Anyone who does is also an idiot for taking the test.
popa_bar_abbaParticipantI encourage my daughters to be good husbands, by taking their allowance and buying beer for myself.
popa_bar_abbaParticipantPopa knows statistics. He can run a Z score, and a T score, and all the clever things he can do to convince you of things that aren’t true.
February 17, 2013 1:20 am at 1:20 am in reply to: "Judge Allows Trial to Weigh DA's 'Tactics' " #930234popa_bar_abbaParticipantCan you post some more info, enough that we can google for the case you are talking about?
popa_bar_abbaParticipantSee how little seminary graduates know. That is a bfeirush quote from a ton of mon, which even tinokos shel beis rabbon should know by heart.
popa_bar_abbaParticipantNever argue, ha! that is according to you, and I say that we do!
and I say that we do not
and I say that we argue alot
and I say that we never did and we never will
and I say you be still
ha you arab beast, I always resent, you dare to say arabs have argument, you camel thief get out of my tent
ha you and your tent are not worth one cent
and your head is completely bent
and your head has a dent, and is filled with cement, to prison is where you should be sent
and your face is a disgrace to the human race
and your face, I should spray with mace
popa_bar_abbaParticipantToirah iz di beste sechoirah
I know, they cost like tons of money.
popa_bar_abbaParticipantIt is ridiculous to marry for money, because somebody else might get more money the next year. That’s why I just made an agreement with my wife, that if we ever found someone with more money, we would divorce and no hard feelings all around.
popa_bar_abbaParticipantI’m pretty sure it includes miming people not saying lashon hara.
popa_bar_abbaParticipantSorry, OOM, I think stating that “it is impossible to make generalizations” is a bit of cop out. Generalizations are always imprecise. They are helpful though, because they can inform you of what to expect, since you should expect what generally happens.
I agree with VM, that the expected value of seminary less than the cost.
February 15, 2013 5:20 pm at 5:20 pm in reply to: No Parking Anytime Signs in Front of Shuls #930106popa_bar_abbaParticipantI’m not quite sure what you think that proves that I have not already conceded already. I know you can be ticketed and towed for parking there.
Also, that link gave me a good idea. If you tow me, I’ll come back, and park in front of your driveway and to to sleep in the car. Because the law says you can’t tow cars that have someone inside.
Tee hee hee. You’ll be sitting there shrieking, while I have my noise cancelling headphones in and am listening to Lipa and rachmanininoiniofffff
popa_bar_abbaParticipantlol, I thought that was what you were referencing, but wondered what exposure you had to the check the box regs.
Meaning, you can elect for your marriage to be a partnership or a profit driven corp. tee hee.
February 15, 2013 3:44 pm at 3:44 pm in reply to: No Parking Anytime Signs in Front of Shuls #930102popa_bar_abbaParticipantIn fact, I would find it hard to imagine any rabbi, Orthodox, Conservative, Reform, Reconstuctionist, man or woman advocating suh a postion that is completely wrong according to Halacha.
Oh, just saw this.
You find it hard to imagine a conservative/YCT, reform, or reconstructionist rabbi advocating a position that is completely wrong according to halacha? You don’t have a very good imagination, my friend.
popa_bar_abbaParticipantJust saw this; I’m with VM.
OOM: I don’t know why you think it is impossible to value seminary and to make a generalization that it is a waste of money.
Nor do I know why you think it requires a close and objective study for people who are living in that world. In a world where your wife, your sisters, your mother, your sisters-in-law, your wife’s friends and co-workers, etc, have all gone to seminary–I think it is fair to say that you are able to understand the dynamics to a reasonably intelligible level.
And with all that so, I think seminary is a scam. See my published works. http://www.theyeshivaworld.com/coffeeroom/topic/new-seminary-by-popa
popa_bar_abbaParticipantIn a world of “check the box” shidduchim
Meaning, you can elect to be a partnership or a corporation?
(See 26 CFR 301.7701-1 et seq.)
February 15, 2013 5:26 am at 5:26 am in reply to: No Parking Anytime Signs in Front of Shuls #930100popa_bar_abbaParticipantYou bring out the worst aspects of the internet, namely that anyone can anonymously claim any credentials whatsoever.
Well, unless I’m telling the truth. (And I never claimed to be a lawyer, BTW. I have no idea why you keep insisting I am not something which I never claimed I am.)
Unfortunately for you, I’m calling “baloney” on you and all your posts.
I don’t know why you think that is unfortunate for me. I could care less if you call pastrami, or baloney, or whatever you want.
February 15, 2013 5:19 am at 5:19 am in reply to: No Parking Anytime Signs in Front of Shuls #930099popa_bar_abbaParticipantSure, whatever you say.
February 14, 2013 10:36 pm at 10:36 pm in reply to: No Parking Anytime Signs in Front of Shuls #930089popa_bar_abbaParticipantI disagree. The law does not give you property rights over that area; you cannot sue for trespass; and you are not permitted to remove cars that are there. I don’t see why halacha would give you more rights than you have in the land.
popa_bar_abbaParticipantI would like some weisswurst whatever that is.
Also, see my recipe for haggis above. It took me a long while to get that posted, since I think Mod 80 kept deleting it.
February 14, 2013 5:42 pm at 5:42 pm in reply to: No Parking Anytime Signs in Front of Shuls #930086popa_bar_abbaParticipantA car is not a jug.
Anyway, are you talking about the gemara in the beginning of ??????
popa_bar_abbaParticipantlol
I think “I” was the superlative I, and was generically referring to the drinker in the shaila.
I didn’t mean the milk came from the pig; I meant it belonged to the pig–pig’s milk.
Also a superlative I, and referring generically to shaila askers.
superlative I
A certain generic poster doesn’t know what superlative means anyway, so if this post made no sense, substitute whatever word makes sense.
generic poster
I bet you never thought the non-superlative I would be called a generic poster.
popa_bar_abbaParticipantI think you all misunderstood the question. I didn’t mean the milk came from the pig; I meant it belonged to the pig–pig’s milk. The question was if there is a din cholov yisroel for non-kosher animals, since even rabi chanina ben tradyon’s pigs presumably drank actual pigs milk from their mother.
popa_bar_abbaParticipantIn my opinion, it should really only work if you also blow 40 shofars from rams that each were herded around the old city 40 times while the herders said the part of perek shira that rams say.
February 14, 2013 12:07 pm at 12:07 pm in reply to: No Parking Anytime Signs in Front of Shuls #930080popa_bar_abbaParticipantlesschumras:
That is a good point. See, lesschumras makes good points.
So the way I address that, is I always break the windows of anyone whose driveway I blocked. Just in case.
February 14, 2013 7:08 am at 7:08 am in reply to: No Parking Anytime Signs in Front of Shuls #930078popa_bar_abbaParticipantOh, and btw popa, I’m not so familiar with the halacha, isn’t there a concept of ???? ????? ???? ??????. So if he wants to park in his driveway, rightfully, and one is blocking him, shouldn’t he be in his right halachakly to remove the offender?
Of course. If he had a right to the land I was on. Which he doesn’t.
It’s called Trespass to Chatel and it is most certainly actionable.
You are confusing the parties. If he towed my car, that would be trespass to chatel. (Of course, he could simply call the police who would ticket it, but that is my risk to take.)
popa_bar_abbaParticipantShkoayach Sam. Way to ruin a good joke 🙂
February 14, 2013 2:14 am at 2:14 am in reply to: No Parking Anytime Signs in Front of Shuls #930073popa_bar_abbaParticipantAre you an ordained Orthodox Jewish rabbi? Yes or no answer, please.
Yes, yoreh yadin.
Whether or not you are a rabbi, as a Jew, I ask you again how you justify a) law breaking and b) causing physical damage to the property of another Jew. Please answer. There are many others here more learned in the Torah than I who will surely look forward to your psak Halacha. On the other hand, perhaps you are waiting for Purim.
I answered that already.
Are you an attorney admitted to practice before the highest courts of any of the United States? Yes or no answer, please.
Decline to answer.
I would not spend one billable second on Westlaw looking for these cases.
Unlimited account baby.
Meh, evidence is not a required course.
A tortfeasor (one who commits a civil wrong as opposed to a crime) takes his victim the way he finds him.
I’m not sure why you think you’re an eggshell plaintiff. And even more unsure how that is relevant.
February 13, 2013 10:17 pm at 10:17 pm in reply to: No Parking Anytime Signs in Front of Shuls #930067popa_bar_abbaParticipantDY: Yeah, that wouldn’t be so nice, if you parked there for a long time. But I think Hashem would be ok with it if you just had to run in somewhere. That sounds reasonable.
February 13, 2013 9:46 pm at 9:46 pm in reply to: No Parking Anytime Signs in Front of Shuls #930065popa_bar_abbaParticipantHow you talk.
You think Hashem cares if I park there or if BPM does? Probably Hashem thinks whoever gets there first should park there.
Why do you assume that he has the right and I am bothering him. Maybe I have the right and he is bothering me?
All I’m doing is breaking a traffic law.
popa_bar_abbaParticipantSo last night, the door to our room was accidentally left open, and a mouse got in. And I cannot sleep if there is a mouse in the room.
It ate up all the spray foam that I sprayed in its holes last year. And is still stalking my room. I put out a snap trap, but it didn’t step on it. So I put out poison this morning.
If it doesn’t work, I’ll send boro park mensch after it with his tow truck.
February 13, 2013 7:29 pm at 7:29 pm in reply to: No Parking Anytime Signs in Front of Shuls #930057popa_bar_abbaParticipantTrust me. Blocking someone’s drivway is indeed actionable in the New York courts. Google is a poor substitute for law school.
Yes, but Westlaw is a decent substitute. There are 39 NY published cases which have the word block within 2 words of driveway. I skimmed the ones that seemed relevant, and none established a tort of trespass or any other tort for blocking a driveway from the public road. Damnum absque injuria, baby! Where did you go to law school?
Your blocking my driveway directly impacts me.
Of course it impacts you. The same as if I get the last bottle of coke at the supermarket which you wanted. The point is though, that it is not impacting a property right that you have.
I’m not worried. In fact, these messages will be great evidence in court.
Of course. You’ll subpoena the CR’s records, then track me through my IP, then claim in court that this proves I was the one who broke your windows. I’m sure you’ll win on that. Again–where did you go to law school?
I refuse to believe someone who is an ordained rabbi wrote this. In fact, it’s even harder to believe that a Jew with a yeshiva education is the writer.
I typed it. Not wrote it.
I’m not sure I got you. If you’re blocking another’s car in the driveway, he has all the reason to be upset. Same if you’re blocking / preventing his entry to his own driveway. You’re doing that homeowner an avlah.
I’m objecting to the fact that they are building driveways and monopolizing public spaces, and especially since many are illegal, or even if legal, are not approved by taking into account the public’s needs. And in that context, especially to the attitude that if someone blocks them for 2 seconds that they fly off the handle.
And the reason I started advocating for self help was in response to them yelling about how they’ll get us towed. I’m pointing out that force goes both ways and that people who live in houses with glass windows shouldn’t throw tow trucks.
February 13, 2013 6:33 pm at 6:33 pm in reply to: No Parking Anytime Signs in Front of Shuls #930051popa_bar_abbaParticipantYou have mentioned in a previous post that you are a rov. Please provide the justification under Halacha for the proposition that a) you can freely violate this law; and b) that you can interfere with the property rights of another person, particularly another Jew.
Sure, no problem.
a. According to many opinions dina d’malchusa dina only applies where the government has an interest.
b. They don’t give you a property right in the parking space. If they had, you would be able to sue someone who parked there for trespass–which you cannot. They just set up traffic rules to allow for orderly traffic, which includes not blocking driveways. Since the owner of the driveway will not mind if he himself blocks it–and in fact, we may as well have him park there if nobody else can anyway–they allow him to park there. But, that just means I am breaking a traffic law. You have no more right to be upset at me than if I randomly don’t pay a meter on Avenue J.
By the way, half of my neighbors in Borough Park have closed circuit TV. I am sure the police would just love to see the tape of someone breaking windows especially when they already have the license plate of the one blocking the driveway.
Don’t be ridiculous. I’m going to hire some immigrant kids to do it for me. And they’ll wear ski masks. I’ll buy them the ski masks.
All I’m saying is: Before you call that tow truck, you better come on the CR and verify that I’m not in Boro Park that day. Just for your own welfare.
And I hope the shovels shoveled in your driveway with snow.
February 13, 2013 4:07 pm at 4:07 pm in reply to: No Parking Anytime Signs in Front of Shuls #930046popa_bar_abbaParticipantI just want to mention again, that I have no problem parking in front of people’s driveways. You don’t own the street.
See my published works about this. To sumamrize: you get me towed, I break your windows, you try to figure out who I am, but you can’t. We both lose, but I feel like I won.
popa_bar_abbaParticipantI’m not talking about where you bought milk that was labeled cow milk and in fact was pig milk. I’m talking where you bought milk that was labeled as pig milk, but wasn’t cholov yisroel, so you don’t really know.
popa_bar_abbaParticipantDid you really regret marrying your wife?
popa_bar_abbaParticipantAnonymous: I’m very sorry to hear your story. However, readers should be aware that no amount of genetic testing will find every genetic disorder, since every one needs to be tested for separately, and it is implausible to test for every one.
Moreover, Dor yeshorim is much better than other labs, since they are attuned to the specific mutations that ashkenazi jews have. Anecdotaly, my sister in law knows someone who was tested by a non-dor yeshorim lab and then had children with tay sachs even though they were tested for it.
popa_bar_abbaParticipantI no

I’m talking about a pig that is born from a cow.

popa_bar_abbaParticipantYou are correct and incorrect.
You are correct that they probably feel it is unfair, and that is part of their motive.
You are incorrect in that they definitely also want to use it to destroy chareidi culture.
popa_bar_abbaParticipantI’m going to dress up as a troll.
