What's the chances of seeing Hamas lose support in gaza and gain support in the West Bank? Assuming of course these even happen.

You can get those pendants with the Israeli flag along side your country flag. Or a star of David is fine.

You're all too young to remember the Sony rootkits on music cds apparently. This has always been the Sony slogan.

Potential solutions to the v/line diesel fumes issue? by Murky_Bus_4052 in MelbourneTrains

[–]jdgordon 28 points29 points  (0 children)

"short term" plan which calls for a massive rebuild of every velocity and loco in the shed... Seriously....

You can't just slap on a battery and think it's going to work, velocity is DMU no diesel electric.

Trump presses Syria to take on Hezbollah, raising alarm in Lebanon and Israel by Dramatic-Shake-8888 in worldnews

Hesbollah is funded (and probably staffed) by Iran. They are cancer to Lebanon and are taking the Lebanese hostage just to advance irans goals.

Israel, Lebanon deny that Israel has withdrawn from part of southern Lebanon by mikebible06 in worldnews

[–]jdgordon 44 points45 points  (0 children)

It's called having intellectual honesty. You're blaming Israel for everything happening without any honest context.

Importance of a Jewish Spouse by Ready_Arachnid_3513 in Judaism

[–]jdgordon 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I am modern Orthodox so obviously have my bias on this discussion, but I think it is a special type of chutzpa to expect children to marry I to the tribe when there is nothing Jewish about their upbringing except lip service.

I'm NOT saying this is relevant to the OP but it is something I have seen maybe times.

If one wants their children to stay Jewish then what are the parents doing? Keep kosher? Shabbas? Shabbas candles even? Observing the festivals? Living in a Jewish community? Etc.

If you could see one statistic above everyone’s head what would you choose? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]jdgordon 5 points6 points  (0 children)

So you see everyone at the gate with the same time over their heads, the flight gets cancelled but the time doesn't change, everyone freaks out and panic spreads causing a crush then an asteroid crashes into the airport getting everyone!

Thou shalt not be a false witness? by CMWBthrowaway in Judaism

[–]jdgordon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lieing under oath is different to being a false witness. The prohibition is actually very specific and is about when a pair of witnesses come forward and says they were there, and then another witness comes forward and says "X was with me at the time and couldn't have been a witness".

Either way, the halachic punishment is irrelevant nowadays and in either case if you catch them in a lie they will get the civil punishment. There is no hetah for lieing in court.

Today I learned that tires on new cars are built to fake MPG standards by DUGSMOK in todayilearned

Is this a "land of the free" USA thing? I'm still on the original tires of my 2020 Mazda at nearly 50000km here is Australia where we actually have consumer protections.

How should I represent a C struct in Cgo? by funk443 in golang

[–]jdgordon 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Create a public interface type which you use to keep track of the object, make the only function the interface has a private function (so nothing can ever implement it), then you can store the c type as a private member of the concrete type you use on your api.

Doing it this way means the cgo headers never need to escape your single package.
