Back when I was young and dinosaurs roamed the Earth, pogs were “in”. I once beat a brontosaurus using a skull and crossbones, magnetic slammer. But it was Shabbos so we weren’t playing for keeps.
As long as you’re speaking “Heiligeh Yiddish” then everything is muttar, whether it is Chillul Shabbos or Lashon Harah.
Most people nowadays (at least in my circles) don’t make a tenayim until the day of the wedding. I assume the GRA is why the minhag is this way.
Do women get drunk at Amen parties?
There are dentists nowadays who use new technology with lasers to avoid drilling. If your dentist doesn’t do this, perhaps you should look for one who does.
Why is something magnetic muktzah?
Or still tired out from laining revi’i.
Perhaps he was a nazir who just finished bringing his korbanos and now was drinking wine. If he was a kohen I hope he wasn’t drunk during bircas kohanim.
I was once in 120+ degrees. But it was a dry heat 🙂
How were your houses built that they don’t need AC?

Is your beard five foot three? Does it itch you like a flea? Can you tie it to a dock? Can you tie it to a tree? Does it rustle when you scratch it? Can you cut it with a hatchet? Does your beard hang low?

There seem to be a lot of “glutten-free” people nowadays. I don’t remember having so many people with this issue years ago. Is it a new thing? If so, what caused it? Vaccines?
If you hold of “2nd half of sefira” then I believe it starts with the 2nd day of Rosh Chodesh so why should the 1st day of Rosh Chodesh be any different than the days between Pesach and Rosh Chodesh?
When you were growing up there were probably fewer weddings and therefore they made them on Rosh Chodesh itself but nowadays there are B”H more weddings so they need to be spread out over a few days.
As an aside, people seem to take for granted that you can have concerts during Chol HaMoed but technically this is during sefira for those who keep the “1st half” so it is not as pashut as people think.

I have seen it said here and in other places that even if the Kosher Switch is actually assur l’chatchila it would still be a good idea to have it in order to avoid accidental chilul Shabbos.
My problem with that statement is that in order to prevent chilul Shabbos, the switch has to be in “Shabbos Mode” which means that you would have to put all the switches in your house into Shabbos Mode every week. Once you are doing that, you might as well just put one of those classic covers over the switches to prevent them being accessed at all like many frum people do nowadays. And even if lu yitzor you did go and put them all into Shabbos Mode before every Shabbos, you still only avoid the issur if the green light is on so if you are switching it “accidentally” than you aren’t checking for a green light.
bump. I got another email saying I will be getting a reminder again.
Dr. Hall, would you keep play dough in your possession?
New Indian Law (bet you didn’t think of that one!)
Posts from 2 years ago seem to be answering 2 separate questions: does it need to be gotten rid of? and does it need to be sold? There are some people who don’t sell “real chometz”. The question is, can these people sell play dough or do they need to completely rid themselves of it?
Then there is the question of it needs to be sold or put away at all. Most people seem to work under the assumption that you do need to put it away and/or sell it. Shticky guy seems to have an interesting kula to not necessitate this
how do i get pac man on google maps?
I heard not to use terms such as “hakohein” or “harav” when saying names for tehilim/mi shebeirach.

First learn all 6 chalakim of the Mishna BREWra.

When they mention Voldemort which is taboo, and all the defensive charms are broken,
why oh why don’t they evaporate out of there instead of wasting their time disfiguring each other??
Perhaps the taboo made it impossible to apparate. Also, they would have lost the tent, sword, and anything else not packed in her bag so that might have caused her to hesitate – adam bahul al mamono…
Yes, HPMOR is great.
I also am reading the fanfic called Goldstein about the Jewish kid in Hogwarts, written by someone named Laazov
I just realized that OOM had mentioned me in the opening post of this thread. I never looked at this thread until today as I have never read the books… But condolences to all the fans ^_^

My rav holds it is assur to ask someone who “holds of” the brooklyn eruv to carry for you because he holds it is completely passul and therefore no different than asking a non-frum Jew to carry in a place with no eruv at all.
On the other hand, in other places where there are “kosher eruvs”, he recommends being machmir and not carrying but he does allow someone who doesn’t carry to ask someone else to carry for him.
This is a classic case of Chumra vs. Din.
It has been mentioned in this thread that there are those who hold of chalav yisroel as a din rather than chumra. But I believe most people in today’s “yeshivish circles” who “keep cholov yisroel” do so as a chumra and not a din and therefore they can feed it to others. To prove that they are only being machmir, most, if not all, of the cholov yisroel people I know of would be meilkel to feed cholov stam to their kids when out going “out of town”.
Some congregations lain Divrei Yirmiyahu for Shemos instead. They obviously feel it is too early for Purim. 53 days…
DY, how much does your scotch weigh?
“Peoplach”. I found that term funny.
Rabbi Shafier from The Shmuz is a black belt and in very good shape.

From the giving613 website (google this), in the articles tab: “Maaser: The Torah’s Prescription for Wealth” check it out, it’s easy to read (consult a Rav of course):
(bold mine)
“Although anyone who gives Tzedakah has a guarantee from our Torah that he will not be impoverished by doing so, one who properly separates 10% of his income to charity has a guarantee that he will be repaid for every penny that he gives to charity, and that he will become wealthy over time.”
I’m not sure how long “over time” is. It has been 4 years, chesedname, are you wealthy yet?
And what about Joseph? His screennames are what keep the CR going. Or perhaps he was already mentioned among your 3…

I bought a lottery ticket. And I gave maaser. So according to chesedname I am guaranteed to win the lottery. Let’s hope he’s right…
Why are cars referred to as “she”?
Agav: Is there a shidduch crisis among older cars? If there are X new cars produced every year on an island, will the old ones get neglected and go off the derech?
Kesef, gelt, and mamon. Looks don’t need to even be mentioned because that is the first thing you notice when you get the resume with a picture before you request the bank statements.

I agree SiDi, it’s a travesty!
Dear popa bar abby,
My husband called me a dolt and I was wondering what I should do about it.

I got the Oorah auction book today and there is no million dollar raffle this year. Nor are there the free gifts for $250 donors. Seems they are cutting spending this year.
Anyway, who won the million dollar raffle last year and how much did they win? I don’t think they ever announced it.
Today is my 6 year anniversary.
