Hashem created animals…Adam Harishon named animals…not the eggs. so Mistama the chicken came before the egg
And how do you know that the first chickens weren’t created hatching from their eggs?

I have no data to back this up, but my gut tells me that I’m in the older half of the posters in the Coffeeroom.

Wolf, as I asked you above, do you utilize “ma’am” with your female immediate family as you do “sir” with your male immediate family?
Interesting question. No, I can’t say that I do.
The Wolf
Terrible.

Wolf, I know people who said “Sir” and “Madame” to their kids sarcastically.
I never use the term sarcastically.
The Wolf
The formalized title is, indeed, a British thing. However, it’s common usage is not. I use “sir” with just about anyone outside my immediate circle of family and friends (and sometime even within… I’ve been known to say “Thank you, sir” to my sons when they do something for me). I even use it for kids, saying “Thank you, sir,” when they hold the door open for me or something else.

Being the shul’s Ba’al Kriah, I just stop and let everyone get it out of their systems, then continue.
That would drive me nuts. Fortunately, they don’t do it my shul, but if they did, I would just go on. Hopefully, eventually, they would get the message that I’m not putting up with that. 🙂

Who is calling someone else names?
The Wolf
If it was me, I apologize. I did not intend to call another person by any derogatory name.

Could there be anything more non judicial than a partisan hack, Patrick Leahy, who had already decided publicly that he would vote for impeachment
I’d be willing to bet that at least ninety of the Senators went into the process knowing how they would vote and had no intention on changing their vote no matter what evidence or argument was presented.

pretending leining is talking
It is, is it not?
Perhaps you can more properly classify it as singing or chanting, but those are both subcategories of speech.

If treif wine,
Thank you. I did not realize that the same barrels were used for wine and whiskey. Being a non-drinker, I never would have thought of that.
The Wolf
In our shul, they say the Misheberach of the Tosfas Yom Tov every shabbos.
My shul did that too, although they recently stopped it. I was actually very upset when they stopped it (despite the fact I talk during laining). Alas, my opinion (being worthless and stupid) was not asked when this change in practice was being considered.
The Wolf
Wolf, is it because they are all taking?
No. They’re usually silent.
The Wolf
I talk constantly throughout laining. No one in the shul seems to mind or complain.
The Wolf
For the extremely stupid, ignorant and non-drinkers among us (meaning, me), can someone break down exactly what the issue is? Please explain to it to me like I’m five.
Thank you.

So, why is Moshe’s name not in Parshas Nitzavim?
(Yes, I know I’m an apikores for even asking this question)
The Wolf
For what it’s worth, my opinion:
No one today knows who Gog is. And no one today knows who Magog is. And it won’t be apparent who they are until after the deed is done.
(Yes, I know I’m an apikores for having such a opinion. I don’t care.)
The Wolf
It is gratuitous because is assumes the reason is because they went to a Yeshiva. There are always people who do bad things. In spite of the best Yeshiva education.
Then I was less than clear. I did not mean to imply that they failed because of Yeshiva. What I meant to imply was the question that you did — why, despite going to Yeshiva, do some people (like myself) turn out horrible, despite the yeshiva education they received.
The Wolf
Why is a knapsack even an issue?
I, too, am curious about this.
The Wolf
Gratuitous, inane remark. Was it really necessary?
Care to explain why it was gratuitous and/or inane? I think it’s a valid point.
You may disagree, of course, but that disagreement does not make it gratuitous or inane.
The Wolf
I think the focus needs to be on the opposite — not why some people went to public school and became gedolim, but why some people who went to yeshiva turn out to be horrible people and embarrassments to the Jewish community.

4. calendars which are bound too tightly to comfortably be able to check a later date without ripping the pages off.
Considering that I literally made calendars of my photography, I can tell you that not all calendars are like that.

And he is president of Apple Bank?
No, because he’s not “The President.” He’s the “President of the United States.” And if Apple Bank, or Apple or you happen to be in the United States, then he is the President of the United States in which Apple Bank, Apple and you are located.

i do wish Pres. Trump do the martial law thing.
Declaring martial law does not magically extend the President’s term It would have still ended at noon on Jan 20.
If Joe Biden and Kamala Harris were prevented by this martial from taking the oath of office, then at noon, the presidency would devolve on the next person in line, Nancy Pelosi. She would then end the martial law and say “Mr. Biden, you may now take the oath of office.”

I wonder if Moshiach Agent is fasting today…

Chochmat Nashim podcast
Daily Halacha Podcast by Rabbi Eli Monsour
Headlines
Iggros Moshe A to Z
The Maimonides MinuteThe Wolf
Unfortunately, since most yeshivas are in deep blue states it really can not make much difference.
There are other races. In fact, I would argue that the local races have much more of an effect on the daily lives of the voters than the presidential race.
The Wolf
No. Let it stand as a testament to my rotten character.
