can you someone explain the fuss about tesla internet? I drive a tesla but don't pay for internet hence there's no internet at all in the auto..
ReplyDeleteIt has wifi capability so you can get internet if you're near any public wifi hotspot.
Deleteyou will still automatically connect to wi-fi in any hotspot and have unrestricted access even if you didn't pay extra for it
DeleteAnd if connected it to your home wifi for any reason it has internet. Would you allow your children to use an ipad that's not connected to a wifi network?
DeleteIllegally parked cars significantly contribute to pedestrian accidents in town. Insufficient parking in approved buildings compels these cars to park illegally.
ReplyDeleteThe responsibility lies with the planning board for approving buildings with inadequate parking, which in turn forces these cars to park illegally.
If BMG gets rid of its freezer, I will bli neder give much more than a dollar per day. Until then, I will continue supporting other mosdos. I would rather give money to YU than a Yeshiva that prohibits boys from keeping halacha.
ReplyDeleteSave your dollar a day for a therapist, you need the help.
DeleteHe doesn't need a therapist. It's a legitimate disagreement. There are choshuve people who feel that many girls have gotten hurt because of the freezer . BMG is entitled to do what they want but many choshuve people strongly disagree.
DeletePrefer to support a place that is wishy washy on chamuros?!
DeleteKidding?
DeleteSome issue like that would be the smallest problem with that place on Amsterdam Ave
Does YU require its students to violate halacha?
DeleteThis is meant to be a joke, I assume. Just read their mag rag The Commentator to give yourself an inkling
DeleteSeriously putting them in the same category?!
Coercing students to politely shake hands with,& applaud, the wicked;promoting co-ed events
DeleteLet's start with their smallest run of the mill violations
Some of our sins could be nearly their merits
Which seif in the Shulchan Aruch is violated by co-ed events (Rav Moshe made a co-ed wedding)? Or by applauding co-ed events? And please provide a link where students are "COERCED" to attend any of these events?
DeleteI am not putting YU and BMG in the same category. As I said before, only one of these Yeshivas requires its talmidim to violate halacha.
Leave here & go there.Fast.
DeleteThey flirt with the 3 chamuros daily
,but for you that is insignificant compared to the freezer.
How does somebody ma'aser salt?
Let's say Yeshivas Brisk came out with a rule that its talmidim shouldn't keep kosher, even dirabbanan kosher (chicken cheeseburgers). Would you be OK with that? Would you say, "It's not as bad a YU, where they 'coerce' [still waiting for a source] students to attend co-ed events, or where they "flirt" [whatever that means] with the 3 chamuros daily"?
DeleteWithout any question
DeleteAlthough a terrible poretz geder that must be protested & not Ok
Sloatsburg owners must be anti semitic
ReplyDeleteThe Mincha area is a blight on all of us.
ReplyDeleteWhy can't people treat davening with more respect? The Halacha tells us that we should not daven outside. Why do people have such a cavalier attitude towards Hilchos Tefilla?
Especially Chassidim, who claim that they learned and taught how to daven.
Your intention was to bash chasidim. For someone who claims to be an expert in halacha, you've just violated many.
DeleteProbably not the most Lechatchila way to Daven, but if it's a Minyan Kavua and set up properly, it's probably better than Davening B'Yechidus elsewhere...
DeleteSo ab - you know my intentions, yet you cannot defend this practice.
DeleteAnon 11:03 - if this travesty was done in a private fashion, we could discuss which is worse. But when it is done in public, when an outdoor Mincha area is officially so designated, it is not just a violation of a Halacha, but a trampling of Halacha.
And nobody condemns it, it is considered normal somehow.
This pin idea while great doesnt seem to be a real solution. like can i just get the pin myself and turn it back on? what about all the other social media, entertainment and gaming apps?
