YoshevBer-“On top of all that, NYC possesses no major military installations or nuclear storage or arsenals.
(NJ does)

Countries like Russia don’t want to waste their weapons on measly body counts. They want to win, and to do that, they must destroy what threatens them most.”

-Body count probably is a factor, secondly aside for that, completely destroying big cities like NYC would be of great significance and greatly damage a country from ever recovering. If big cities werent important then threats to NYC and London wouldnt exist, im sure England doesnt hide their nukes under the London streets.

“Even if Russia would target NYC, it’s important to remember that the United States has a vast and comprehensive Nuclear Defense Strategy that includes interception missiles and early warning networks that would effectively defend a mass populated city like NYC or Los Angeles.”

-Not sure if you are aware but Russia has weapons such as Hypersonic missiles and others which the U.S has no match or defense for. Also trying to take down a barrage of nukes from Russia and who knows what other countries(China, Iran, North Korea etc.) at the same time would prove pretty challenging and have similar consequences.

Avirah, depends what rocks, some are worth a lot starting from Turquoise all the way to Diamonds…

@coffee, pogs were so frustrating! Aside for collecting the plastic shiny pog, I was never able to flip any. Im glad those things are gone. I dont think magic cards ever picked up as a “trendy fad” outbreak.

Beanie Babies were great, you now have Funko Pop which are pretty neat but definitely a waste of money for those who have hundreds of them at like $12 a pop. Good luck collecting them all when they release 5 new ones a day on average.

do i write wrong or do i right wrong? and now back to my silly slammer

What are some good ideas to clean up the planet or prevent it from constantly getting damaged which affects our food, water and air quality? Is it even possible?

Avirah what you are saying is difficult to understand. Of course Hashem is in charge of everything but how can our recklessness not affect the world? That’s like saying no matter what you eat you will still be healthy so eat all the junk food you want. There is also venishmartem meod, so that proves we do need to do our part to protect our health, and possibly also to protect the plabet we live in wouldn’t you say?
You do see that our produce is different than what it used to be, and the vitamins and minerals people used to get from food hundreds of years ago had greatly diminished and that is also due to the air quality and soil quality which has become horrible compared to what it used to be.

Of course I’m Not saying we have to stop living in a normal way with driving cars, taking flights, factories etc. But these things definitely have an impact on the earth and we get affected by it. Just look at L.A. with the traffic issue because everyone drives a car there. It’s not like thw roads get any wider just because there are so many cars. We think by littering or throwing a wrapper on the street has no impact just because it disappeared from our view, but there is a chain reaction and that wrapper keeps existing and can cause issues long after it’s been out of our view.

ujm to be honest , there are some things progressives and liberals get right. And one of those things is eating healthy. They will preach to you to “follow the science” and to trust government and media, but when it comes to what they consume or do for their health, they trust noone. Just like when they advocate for everyone to live together and mingle but they live in some Ivory tower far far away from the inner suburbs and from the people they protest for. Go figure but Chacham Halomed Mikol Adam you can apply to this i guess(as far as personal health goes). Obviously their politics and agendas are horrible.

Btw Amil does the shipping ruin the produce or is it how they are stored in the process thats the problem? Also beware of any produce from China. The fruits vegetables and fish are very problematic and may not even be real just like the plastic infused rice that was uncovered coming out of China. Theres a reason why the $1 bag of frozen fruits at Key Food are so cheap, they come from CHiiiiiiNNNNAAA!!(Trump voice)

Do why the media warnings? Is it just to raise prices or is there something to it

Wait if the Judaica stores buy from manufacturer, why would it be risky to buy from the manufacturer directly? Are the Judaica stores filtering out the non kosher ones?

Right so are the judaica stores importing mainly from Israel or what? Is it possible to buy direct from manufacturer?

Lakewood matzah was great this year

Yes and since they don’t do discounts anymore for certain MetroCard amounts it seems there is very little advantage to use them anymore.

CT lawyer you are lucky if you can grow your own food and livestock but most cannot and dont even have access to buy real fruits and vegetables or eat meat that isn’t full of antibiotics and many other harmful chemicals.

yes Gadol. Do you also agree that there is such a thing as sarcasm?
Also do you really mean it that the economy is better or even getting better with rising prices by the day?

Well I’m glad to help. Also just a piece of advice if these conversations cause you such issues maybe try to take a break from them or just completely avoid them.

Refrigerators

Gadol the fact that the Modz have a share in NYC tap water is the only rational explanation for them completely removing my thread and trying to frame me for some sort of scandalous event. They even removed their notes which I responded to and didn’t even publish my responses since they were caught and proved wrong by me. One of their notes mentioned how they “always publish repsonses even if they disagree and that I know that”. Obviously it’s not the case since they completely removed my thread for no reason. Therefore I can only assume that they have some sort of involvement in NYC tap water. What other rational explanation is there for such an irrational move on their part?

The comments were erased because you said they were ‘framing you’. I guess some people are just never happy…

Gadol I’m very relaxed it’s just a bit inconvenient when you write a thoughtful post and they take down the thread they didn’t even shut it down just completely taken off. Also don’t get it twisted even though the mods would like everyone to think I wrote some horrible things about halacha, most of the post was actually concerning the chemicals in unfiltered tap water vs bottle water plastic bottles and the like. The part about copepods was sort of a btw. Someone replied and mentioned something that bothered them regarding kashrus so it wasn’t even my original post.

Also you claim nyc water is the best. I heard it’s much better than other places but are you aware of the long list of chemicals including chlorine that are in the water? Ya I know fluoride is good for teeth but does that mean you should ingest it? Also there is lead and many other things in the water which obviously you won’t see unless the water is obviously brown from rust or whatever. No it probably won’t kill you when you drink one glass but over time just as anything these chemicals do build up in the body and can cause health issues. Food and drink is so subtle and builds along time that most people can never attribute health issues to food and drink. Since usually there aren’t immediate consequences.

Then I asked what the solution is, relying on bottled water to actually be filtering the water correctly or buying your own 100 dollar and up filter and changing it every few months which is a fortune. Those who claim that bottled water is worse than tapz how can that be it tastes much more neutral than the bitter acidic tap water and can also be tested.

I just replied and you censor me that’s so low to try to frame me for nothing. Shame on you
