How to be a good guest

Look, if I get a phonecall from someone the day after, I'll wonder if they left something behind, so I'll drop whatever I'm doing to take the call. And I'll be annoyed when I get a conversation that could have been a text message (but I'll try to not let it show in my voice). In terms of annoying communications, voice calls that could have been texts are followed closely by people who leave voice messages instead of texts unless there's a good reason (e.g. both hands in bandages, vision impaired (and have trouble with their phone's accessibility options) too old to learn how to text). Even if you've got a phone with a T9 keypad.

I go into https://eztv.wf/home and see a list of torrents. The torrents for the show I want to watch from yesterday are scattered around several pages, but when I click on any of them, the torrent page lists other torrents for the same episode, e.g.

Now this makes me think, there could be a listing that only has one entry for that episode, and there aren't 50 links to shows I'm not interested in, inbetween. But is there a way to get that? Or would that cut down on the number of pages I had to scroll through, with 75 episodes of an anime with a strange name and an entire season of a soap opera, and a new popup on each that I'll close immediately without reading because, no, I don't want to visit Ali Express just like the previous ten times today, so it's in EZTV's interest not to have this feature?

I trust that HKBH gave us precisely the right amount.

But also, living in Jerusalem, I want to quote a line from Roger Zelazny's "Lord of Light" - "It is a good thing to see some of these travelers depart. Their devotions have enriched the Temple but they have also tired the staff considerably" The last one is also what I think about the thread about people talking and posting about their Sukkot visits.

What are 8 year old boys into these days

It sort of seems that if you buy a kid who "struggles socially" something popular, either one of the social kids already has it (how would it be popular if no one has it?) or they all monopolize this rare luxury and he only gets to play with it when he's alone. Or maybe ima doesn't understand the difference between the latest QZ-3+ and last year's QZ-2 which is "yunchy" by now.

If it's something like a bicycle or a scooter that kids use in groups, they all ride off leaving the unpopular kid behind because they've already learned how to use it and the new kid hasn't. Or if it's some sort of card game where the cards become the winner's, the in kids win all the new kid's cards, and then he's back to zero and you've paid for everyone else's cards. Your kid doesn't get any popularity points that way, but maybe they'll play with him again when you buy him more cards until he loses those, too.

17 yr old - 12th grade should be wearing heels?

Not speaking Yiddish slang (except for some phrases that can start a fight) I asked an AI for help. How did it do?

• Yunchy (יאַנטשי / yantschi): Means dowdy, frumpy, or outmoded—referring specifically to something that tries to conform to modesty standards but misses the mark on current style, looking tacky, outdated, or unfashionable. Ironically, in conversational Hasidic Yiddish, it is also sometimes used in a teasingly affectionate way (like calling something "so silly/frumpy it's cute").
• Tzep (צאַפּ / tsap or צעפּ / tsep): Means braids or pigtails (plural tzep / tzepp, singular tzap). In the context of school-aged girls, referring to someone "with tzep" denotes a young, immature girl or schoolgirl wearing braided pigtails.

When combined with rebbishe (referring to elite, wealthy, or prominent Hasidic rabbinic families), the line translates roughly to: "Kitten heels are so tacky/frumpy. They’re for elite schoolgirls with pigtails."

Would you call me normal?

Normal is just a setting on the washing machine

46-47-Year Old Frum Single Guy… What would you assume?

Happy Tu b'Av to everyone but her, and to people who posted their assumptions in the thread.

For example, in Ds 8 struggles so much the child has difficulty in both reading and kriah. Is one reading English and the other reading Hebrew? It's been a long time since I went to school, and I don't remember reading lessons for English.

I do remember being taught to read Hebrew because it was some years later. I don't remember anyone having trouble with it, but I was in a small class at the time so maybe there was just no one with trouble reading there.

Is it harder to learn reading Hebrew than English? Do some kids have trouble with one but not the other?

Does kriah perhaps mean something other than reading the alef-bet in yeshivish, say memorizing pesukim to recite by rote? Something to do with Yiddish?

Every time I see What’s is your bungalow circle discussing I think of the circle on "That 70's Show". For those who didn't watch it, it's a recurring setting where the characters sit around in a circle, the camera focusing on one at a time, usually saying something absurd. For those who watched but didn't get it, they were passing a joint, always kept off camera.

And then I wondered, how available is weed in The Colonies? So I googled, and the AI gave me dispensaries in Spring Valley, Ellenville, and Catskill, one of which has a page with kosher products, another which delivers.

What do we think about this article by Laura Doyle  

What *I* think is that I'm not part of a hive mind. Even if it's about something non-controversial, any opinion that "we" have, count me out.

Disposable mattresses. They come in boxes, with unremovable sheets and pillows. Pull a tab and they inflate, like a life raft. The box also includes one aluminum blanket like they hand out at marathons per mattress. Only available in frum mattress sizes.

For a number of years, I carried a card containing this symbol in my wallet. It had an undeniable positive effect on my income which started immediately. I have no doubt that it was due to the divine names and the quote from Tehillim.

For those who ask what I did about the bathroom, for one thing, it was kept in multiple layers, and on the card it was hard to tell if those were the letter heh or chet. Novi Eboraci, BTW, is Latin for New York and also appears on the city's seal.

I have something very special to tell you,
Parts you may have heard, others will be new.
Because it is so koidesh, we will stop here and there,
To discuss and answer questions and make sure it's clear.
It is a very special time, for you and for me,
Because it is about something that is so holy.
It is one of the topics that is the most dear,
To our Heilike Aibershter.
Would you like to hear?

Up in שמים, before a yid is born,
From קדושה his נשמה didn't want to be torn.
It wanted to stay with Hashem's holy light,
So Hashem had a wonderful vision in sight.

Hashem thought, "I know just what I will do,
So that when a Yid is created, it will be full of kedusha, too!
Then, the קדושה that the neshama loved so much up there,
Will remain inside its body, as it descends down here."

What did Hashem do so that every Yid is created,
With the utmost קדושה that Hashem had intended?
As a mature, wonderful girl, growing up so fast,
I want to tell you what happens, and how the קדושה does last.

Let's think about the בית המקדש for a minute.
Which is the holiest room that is in it?
Yes! The holiest room is the קודש הקדשים,
Where the לוחות are, the ארון and the כרובים.

Now, imagine if all נשמות of Yidden could be,
Created in the קודש הקדשים so holy!
Wouldn't that be the best entry for a Yid?
Well, guess what, dear daughter? That's exactly what Hashem did!

In every Yid's home, there's a קודש הקדשים space,
So that הייליקע נשמות can be created in that place.
That place is the bedroom of a husband and wife,
And in that bedroom is where is created a new life!

Now, in the קודש הקדשים are the כרובים, right?
Did you know that sometimes they were hugging tight?
So too, in a place where a child is conceived,
With love and enjoyment it is received!

The faces of the כרובים are a husband and wife, too,
And showing love to each other is the most קודש thing to do.

Now, let's stop for a minute and think about a תורה.
Can we open it wherever we want? What is the הלכה?
Of course we can't! Do you know why that is so?
Because when something is hidden, very heilik it does show.

What part of a yid's body is the most heilike part?
From where do you think a neshama's descent should start?
Do you think the holiest אבר (limb) should be one that is revealed?
Or do you think the holiest part should be concealed?

You're right, dear daughter! The holiest parts are hidden,
And the more private it is, the more kedusha is within.

Sometimes people think our private parts are less holy!
But in fact, the opposite is true, actually!
That's why Hashem made the holiest אבר be,
In the most private place, so that people shouldn't see.

"In order to bring down neshamos in the holiest way,
I want to do it through the most private, special parts," Hashem did say.

Just like the male and female keruvim united together,
The same thing Hashem wanted for a father and mother.
He wanted them to bond not just in any simple way,
Because for a neshama of Hashem, that wouldn't be okay!
Instead, Hashem made sure that only when the most holy parts unite,
Will a neshama be created and even brought to life.

Hashem put inside the holy, private parts of a father and mother,
Miraculous things that can create a child together.
Hashem put in the holy part of the man cells so small,
And in the woman's special part are eggs- but that is not all!

Hashem wanted that these 2 private, holy parts should unite,
Through love and enjoyment for a neshama so bright.
Hashem made this beautiful moment a mitzvah so great,
And He said, "This is exactly the way I want them to create,
A special neshama, that is a part of Me!
ONLY at this holiest moment of unity!"

Therefore, Hashem made it that the cells of the father,
Should come out at the moment he's united with the mother!
And then, in a very miraculous way,
It can connect to the mother's egg, we daven and pray.

When they connect, a child can be created,
And in this way, the most private parts of the guf are elevated.

Hashem is so happy when a husband and wife,
Do this heilike mitzvah and bring down a life.

The neshama from above is so happy, too,
Because he was created in the most koidesh way, as a Jew.

Everything about this mitzvah is the holiest thing,
For the husband, the wife, and for Hashem, our King.

This is the very best way for a heilike neshama,
To come down here - only through this mitzvah.

Because it's so koidesh, I really wanted to tell you,
All about this, to help you as a Jew.
Since, dear daughter, you're growing each day,
I wanted you to know that you're holy in every way.

You're neshama is so happy to be inside of you,
Where you treat it so well with all the mitzvos you do.

So never forget all the things we just read,
So that the holiest thoughts will always be in your head.
Always remember how heilik you are,
And that to Hashem you are the best, most shiniest star.

I tried requesting a few just now on flat-earth tweets. Is it effective? Who will look at my request, the same AI programs and underpaid people who barely understand English that look at reported tweets? And will requesting too many community notes cause Twitter to pay less attention (assuming it pays any at all)?

That's what came to mind when I read "Do you say you have transmission in your car or a car in your transmission…?" in Listing the wife before husband ...

For those who don't get the references, those are national car repair chains, Midas does mufflers, AAMCO transmissions
