It never ceases to amaze – and in fact amuse – me that people think that they're all powerful God somehow can't see through a ridiculous trick. I mean way back in mediaeval times your average peasant thought you could bargain with an even trick the devil, but this is the 21st century – although perhaps not for Orthodox Jews. I'm not up on the distinctions though, are these the guys that where the funny hats and homeschool their kids?
That would explain the ignorance then. Very few Jewish people in NZ but I did work with one who was extremely well educated – eventually a doctorate. And he always claimed that when you might have to pick up and piss off because of pogroms, education is very portable. These guys obviously don't think that from what I've heard.
About 290 is the cutoff for even trail bikes, with 250 to 275 being tops for 'road bikes'.
Don't know the actual component involved, but the wheels become a real issue very quickly. The drive train components also have issues because the pedal effort is not magically conveyed by the soul of the chain to the road, but everything inbetween (including the frame) needs to be suitably designed to take not just the dead load but also the loads from the drivetrain. (for a real treat, get on a carbon frame, pedal hard, and feel the frame behind you flexing left and right as you go)
I don't know about wheels. I was riding with a friend and we zoomed under a bridge – at least I zoomed he looked – it was in the shade and I didn't see that there was a steel bar across the path. I hit it and did a ground loop. I needed a new set of front forks but the wheel was fine. Surprised the hell out of me, I was expecting the spokes to be all over the place.
As I understand it a ground loop used to be when you may be stood on the brakes a little too hard when you are taxiing and your nose went down and your propeller churned up the ground, but I may be wrong. Whatever it was I did a complete somersault landed on my back in front of the bike.
Thought I'd ask because the term, in aviation talk, is sooooo confusing because the loops there are normally verticle, or similar.
You could have easily done a ground loop, depending on the angle, and then the side forces would easily ruin wheels. With the low, low spoke counts available, wheel damage is very likely for any side force.
The lack of self-awareness is staggering. He'd hate this rule if it isn't allowed for the exam to be done by his hand-picked doctor, but instead, by a panel of "impartial" doctors from across the political spectrum.
To me it depends on how other religious and non religious people get to use the public grounds where these poles for the eruv are errected. As long as other religious groups can use the public grounds for their idiotic religious rituals. (e.g if the strings were tied to festivus poles)
Public infrastructure used for only one religion is wrong, unless infrastructure is made available to all religions. Again, it's all or nothing. Given the quagmire that is religious belief, nothing is the less onerous choice.
Religion also requires them to go to synagogue. When these rules were written 30-50 centuries ago, the synagogue was always in walking distance. Now most of them have to drive, which means bringing their keys from inside the home to outside.
Conflicting rule,s and obvious kludges to make them sort of work, surprises you?
I think it's a different rule than the no work rule. Something about carrying personal items between the private and public domains. (Presumably, clothing doesn't count)
You're trying to apply logic to religious rules. No wonder your head hurts.
NYT (I think) had a good article about the guy who had to hire a person to push his child's baby stroller because of those kinds of 'pull it out of your arse' rules that the Professional Jewish parasites have the time to make up.
You can only ignore and take voting privileges/citizenship rights away from ARAB CITIZENS in the theocracy of Israel. Oh, and basic human rights, too, but you also get to de-humanize ARAB NON-CITIZENS even though you don't have the joy of taking away voting rights/citizenship rights.
The Hasidim and East Europe Jews, with high birth rates, are also a handy answer to ARAB CITIZEN high birth rates, too, so don't see any end to the kowtowing.
IDK what you're talking about. Israeli-Arabs have full civil rights. They live like kings in Israel. Also, Israel isn't a theocracy just because there's a Chief Rabbinate.
When you get down to it, the obvious solution is to watch it on television at this point; but that wouldn't be synagogue in their eyes.
Of course, my opinion is that if some god has such a problem with how he/she/it is worshiped, they can very well come around and explain it. This attempting to figure out the rules all the time stuff is ridiculous and considering no god I've ever heard tell of has anything to say is just proof atheism is the way to go.
There is ceremonies who require a minimum number of participants (10 I think), I don't remember the name of the group, I read this in Jewish mythology based urban fantasy books.
It's called a minyan, and is 10 or 12 men (depending on what authority you are quoting and what ceremony you are referencing). Women don't count/aren't allowed (again, depending on the sect involved.) I've had a couple of run-ins w/ the local Orthodox synagogue, which was supposed to allow its space to be used on Election Day for voting, but reneged w/out notice because a morning prayer ceremony was occurring when the polls had to open. Voters had to vote on the sidewalk outside, once in the rain. As the local election supervisor I had to report them to the County for violations of their contract. Apparently, according to the county, this was longstanding behavior but no-one had wanted to report before. They accused me of anti-Semitism, unmoved when I told them that my family came originally from al-Andalus and were Jewish exiles after the catholic reconquista. I was female so I didn't count.
Yup. A bunch of racism there, doubtless, tho most of my family is now blond/blue. It always made me wonder if they had any idea how hard it is to maintain any sort of tradition under such circumstances. (In my family's case, it was beloved foods, not any religious stuff, but still.)
Next to this "monument" I want a statue of the American woman who was vacationing in Malta and had to be transferred to Spain because she was having a miscarriage and Malta don't do abortions even to save a woman life.
Murder, rape, incest, cannibalism, etc., occur throughout human history. The Tanakh was merely recording events that befell our ancestors, not condoning them. As for "slavery," you're conflating indentured servitude with Southern cattle slavery. Also, it was a patricide, not a genocide, as we Jews also evolved from Canaanite city-kingdoms. Moreover, like all ancient texts of the Ancient Near East, the Torah exaggerates (just like how the Merneptah Stele says that all of Israel was "destroyed"). Furthermore, archeological research proves that the Canaanite cities that were destroyed weren't cities but rather military installations with little to no civilians. Lastly, they weren't all destroyed anyway (as attested to throughout Tanakh) as DNA research proves that today's modern Lebanese are indeed, like us Jews, the descendants of the ancient Canaanites! It should be noted, however, that today's Palestinians, like the Negev Bedouin, aren't genetically tied to either the Canaanites or the Aegean Philistines. Their ancestors are from the Hejaz and wider Arab World and only arrived en masse during the Mandate period.
It would surprise if she was registered as anything else. The positive responses give me a small hope that this will come back to bite the board members in the ass next election.
WhoTF is this teacher to decide what OTHER PEOPLE'S CHILDREN read, as in check out from the library?!
I have no doubt my education was marred by the idiot teacher who told the librarian I couldn't check out any more history, biography, or science books, but had to only check out 'boys doing sports and fishing' crap.
Another reason I deliberately chose to live in an area with a great local schools and meaningful magnet schools (not just DISCIPLINE! magnet schools).
Another reason it's the beginning of the end when TEACHER EDUCATION is run by backward, reactionary pinheads and hired by the same, on the local level.
As I've noted, had an elementary principle who wouldn't let black kids participate in the May Day Festival because they didn't fit in with the look of the sea of white faces. However, the teachers were completely against all the principal's nasty predilections, and even the kids could tell what was going on.
I remember – and I haven't actually read the novels for a long time, but I did see the British adaptation with Mr Bean in it – he often called in for an aperitif or a digestive or something? I really must dig them out and read them again if that's all I can remember. 😁
I watched every episode – I think about 50 – of the series with Rupert Davies and Ewen Solon, although to be fair I did fall asleep during one episode because I'd been out the night before. And I think Atkinson was perhaps slightly better.
Actually, back in the day just about everyone had a Maigret, and I remember they got them all together at some stage, from all over Europe. If I remember correctly they looked remarkably similar.
So does that mean before eruv orthodox Jews had to go to the synagogue in their birth day suit ?
Eruv doesn't cause problems for now but will happen if some fanatics decide that non Jews have to follow their religious rules on Shabbath like hasidim Jews do ?
Firstly, there's archeological evidence that eruvim were created during the reign of Shlomo HaMelech. Secondly, we've never asked non-Jews to participate in our traditions and have never sought after gerim (converts).
"(Does their God see through that little trick…? Shut up and stop asking questions.)"
It always puzzles me why they go to so much trouble to sneak around so many of their own laws rather than just amend or rescind their laws.
Nevertheless, I have an even better sneak-around: Put up four poles on their own property in a square spanning one square foot, and tie string around them. Then DECLARE EVERYTHING OUTSIDE OF THE STRING AS BEING INSIDE THEIR ERUV. That way the entire world is "surrounded" by their eruv except for that one square foot.

Or TST to post banners with the 7 tenets on the poles.

It doesn't work that way.
It was a joke, just like eruvs on public property.
Eruvim aren't a joke. I'm Reform, but I still respect the strict observance of Orthodoxy.
If it was a strict observance, they wouldn't try to find a loophole around it.
You don't know the first thing about Judaism. It's full of gezerot, takkanot, minhagot, and Geonic hidushim! There are "loopholes" for a reason!
Yeah, loopholes to thwart your god's will.

I don't get how having keys in your pocket constitutes work. If that is the case wouldn't operating a motor vehicle also be considered work?

"Jewish parasites"? You sound antisemitic.
Wearing clothes isn't "carrying."
hassidic Jews forbid the use of motored vehicles in their neighbourhoods on Shabbath. It causes a lot of problems in Israel.
Israel needs to stop kowtowing to them.

Pastis? Isn't that what Maigret used to drink?
In the novels, he is more a beer drinker. Pastis is drink about everywhere in France but it's still a Southern alcoholic drink.
It's also the name of a pastry, no anise in the recipe.
I remember – and I haven't actually read the novels for a long time, but I did see the British adaptation with Mr Bean in it – he often called in for an aperitif or a digestive or something? I really must dig them out and read them again if that's all I can remember. 😁
Pastis is an "apéritif" a drink before the meal. "Digestifs" are strong alcoholic drinks but they are usually fruit based like Armagnac.

Um, it doesn't work that way. Also, only a Sanhedrin can change the halacha. Eruvim aren't mere minhagim.
