    YYA: Absolutely. And to further your point, should we advocate eliminating or handicapping the financial fraud department in the prosecutor’s office since sometimes they arrest a Jew? Should we advocate eliminating or handicapping NYPD since sometimes they, too, arrest a Jew?

    Dr. Pepper — In this case, you are the subject, so whatever crosses your mind is the topic. I would suggest starting a new thread on an interesting subject; I think there’s a better-than-decent chance it will take off from there.

    Personally, I skip over negative comments as if they were non-existent, as best I possibly can. There are certain posters I routinely don’t even read, knowing their history. (They are on both sides of the aisle, by the way, though one side is certainly much more highly represented. Sometimes you come across someone who might otherwise be agreeable but presents themselves in a cringeworthy manner that your side of the discussion could do without.)

    As far as your comments go, I’ve always enjoyed hearing your views on all topics, even if I happened to disagree with a point. You’ve always been agreeable, presentable, informed, and pleasant.

    chiefshmerel: You really are that dumb and dense. Your original comment above specifically cited the period of “1881-1924”, and that’s what I responded to. Now you move the goalpost and come up with a new period of 1898-1946.

    May it be Your will, Hashem, our G-d and the G-d of our forefathers, that You strengthen and grant success to the ICE agency with a strong hand and an outstretched arm to uphold the laws of the United States in the way of Torah and mitzvos, and bestow upon them power and might to protect the borders and maintain public order, as it is written “and they shall judge the people with righteous judgment.” Amen Selah.

    chiefshmerel: False comment.

    In 1881, the legal landscape for immigration from Eastern Europe, or anywhere from Europe, was virtually entirely open. The restrictive “quota” system didn’t arrive until many decades later. In 1881, there were essentially no federal limits on the number of people who could move to the U.S. fromEurope. Modern requirements like entry visas, labor certifications, or even passports were generally not required by the U.S. government for European immigrants. Because there were no numerical caps, the concept of an “illegal immigrant” from Europe didn’t exist in 1881. If you could pay for the steamship ticket and were healthy, you were legal.

    The Immigration Act of 1882 was the first general federal immigration law. It officially barred “criminals, idiots, lunatics”. But it did not restrict the volume of Eastern European immigration. So unless your Zaidy and Bubby were “criminals, idiots, or lunatics”, they were legally permitted to move to the United States without restriction.

    Stop believing the fake news reported by the New York Times, CNN, NBC and all the other liars.

    ICE is doing an absolutely fabulous job.

    They are masked rightfully because left wing thugs are dozing them and invading their personal lives at their homes.

    May ICE continue doing the wonderful job they’ve been assigned in upholding the laws of the United States.

    And may all the left wing thugs and agitators interfering with ICE be locked up. The two dead thugs interfered with ice while armed, one with a moving automobile and the other with a loaded weapon, causing the law enforcement officers to fear for their lives. Good riddance to them.

    Yes, shot dead like a dog in the street. A thug who has a history of spitting on federal police officers and physically assaulting their vehicles came armed with a loaded weapon, interfered with the officers law enfocement operation and then resisted arrest. Good riddance. The world is a better place with him gone. No other police officer will have to be assaulted by him or fear for their life from him.

    When someone comes ARMED and attacks police officers he should expect to be shot dead.

    There’s a new video that was identified yesterday showing the left-wing criminal thug Alex Pretti eleven days before he was killed in self defense by Border Patrol officers, showing him spitting and cursing at federal police officers. After the police ignored him (even though he was spitting on them) and got into their car and started driving away, the thug Pretti smashed their car and broke their taillight. He should have been thrown into prison then but he wasn’t even arrested.

    Good riddance to that agitator. The world today is a better place with this criminal no longer around to assault police officers.

    Simcha: A criminal engaged in Obstruction of Governmental Administration and Obstructing a Peace Officer who then resist arrest (another crime) AND while doing all of the above is ARMED (even legally) causes the police officers to FEAR FOR THEIR LIVES (perhaps mistakenly fear for their lives in the split second moment they see he his armed AND resisting), thereby making the split second decision to DEFEND the lives of themselves and their fellow police officers against the criminal.

    The reason all of the above occured is due to said criminal obstructing police and resisting police while armed. What happened to him wasn’t a “punishment”, it was self-defense by the officers. The thug caused this play of events. He shouldn’t have been interfering with a lawful law enforcement operation and he shouldn’t have been resisting arrest.

    And even in the event in that split second the officers made an error thinking thier lives were in danger, the law explicitly and directly protects them from their armed response. It is possible Officer A yelled “he has a gun” while Officer B thought he heard his fellow officer saying the criminal is using a gun and therefore shot him.

    The left-wing agitationist caused and is fully at fault for his own demise.

    So far no one’s (even tried to) answere[d] “The Infinite Line of Prisoners” above. We’ll have to wait a bit more for a real prodigy to enter the fray. In the meantime here’s another morsel for further cogitation by the other intellectuals over here:

    ___________________________________________________

    The Interdimensional Oranges

    A grocer operates in a universe with N spatial dimensions.

    He has a crate shaped perfectly like an N-dimensional cube. The side length of this crate is 4 meters.

    He wants to pack spherical “Oranges” into this crate. Each Orange is an N-dimensional hypersphere with a diameter of 2 meters.

    Because the crate is 4 meters wide and the oranges are 2 meters wide, he can fit exactly 2^N Oranges into the crate (one in every corner). They fit perfectly snugly: each Orange touches the walls of the crate and touches its neighboring Oranges.

    (For visualization: In 2 dimensions, a 4×4 square holds four 2×2 circles. In 3 dimensions, a 4x4x4 cube holds eight 2×2 spheres.)

    After packing the Oranges, the grocer notices a small empty gap in the exact center of the crate, between all the Oranges.

    He decides to place a “Grapefruit” (a smaller hypersphere) in this central gap. He sizes the Grapefruit perfectly so it touches all the Oranges surrounding it, keeping everything tight.

    The Question:

    As the number of dimensions N increases, the distance from the center to the corners gets longer, so the central gap grows.

    At what specific dimension number N does the central “Grapefruit” become so large that it actually pokes outside the crate?

    (Note: “Poking outside” means the Grapefruit is so fat that its radius is larger than the distance from the center of the crate to the wall.)

    It looks like all the geniuses are snowed in and having electrical outages (and their batteries burnt out). So we’ll throw out an “easy” freebie:

    Find the sum of all distinct real values of x that satisfy the following equation:

    Math Equation

    .

    (x^2 - 5x + 5)^(x^2 - 11x + 30) = 1

    .

    (x² – 5x + 5)⁽ˣ²⁻¹¹ˣ⁺³⁰⁾ = 1

    .

    (Sorry; I posted the same equation above three times to insure at least one of them posts correctly to this forum’s software.)

    Simcha: The only murderer is the armed left wing thug who criminally interfered with an ongoing law enforcement operation against the police officers. He ultimately caused his own death when with his criminal activity of Obstruction of Governmental Administration and Obstructing a Peace Officer caused the officers to fear for their lives when the saw he was armed.

    Sure, he was legally allowed to be armed. But not to commit an active crime against police officer while he was armed, causing the police to fear for their lives. They had a split second reaction, and the law protects the police officers in this situation.

    Even if they were mistaken in that split second decision and they potentially mistakenly feared their lives were in danger.
