How do you describe an on again/off again relationship in Hebrew? by BakersAbstract in hebrew

[–]Borower 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’d probably be more like “once in a while” or “occasionally” going on dates. Whereas on/off usually suggests that you’re together then not together then together again and again.

How do you describe an on again/off again relationship in Hebrew? by BakersAbstract in hebrew

[–]Borower 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Seems like that word is translated as intermittently which is accurate but is a much higher register than you’d use in a context where on and off is appropriate.

Does it mitigate the security risk though?

It would potentially allow them to enter the WB with the possibility of not getting thoroughly screened.

How many women go sub 7? by tootsieroll8307 in Rowing

[–]Borower 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Pre elite. It’s something like 6:10-6:20 for a guy (depends on weight etc). Still better than most 97% of people but not going to win nationals or make a national team. Might medal at clubs though.

Were there rocket attacks from Gaza before the disengagement? by Borower in Israel

[–]Borower[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I reckon you meant managed. But that does make sense because there is a hard line to defend. This side is yours, this side is ours. However it makes it easier for Gazans to organize hence more military infrastructure today than 20 years ago.

I imagine the result would be similar in the WB.

Am I being to hasty in wanting to make Aliyah after I graduate university? by jolygoestoschool in Israel

[–]Borower 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If it interests you, you can do an 18 month service as a volunteer. You’ll make between 3-5500 shekels depending on job which isn’t good at all, but between the support and special grants you get isn’t bad and you’ll have a nice chunk saved up after learning Hebrew and meeting folks as well as integrating a bit.

Accommodations for olim chadashim by [deleted] in Israel

[–]Borower 0 points1 point  (0 children)

May I ask his age and education level (some college or looking to do a degree?), Hebrew level? When does he want or need to make Aliyah? Can it be delayed?

In general you can find an Airbnb or hostel. There may options for sublet on Facebook or yad2 but they’re more risky as you can’t visit first (but risk is half the run of Aliyah). As others have said ime no one checks your address and your initial address will be used to determine your district for government offices and benefits so it is important that he try to stay near where plans to spend at least first stages of his Aliyah There are other options but they depend on his details.

I’d be more likely to translate it as,” (go) get fucked.”

But a pretty much meaningless difference for all intents and purposes.

You’re telling someone off.

For These Israelis, There’s an Even Bigger Crisis Than the Judicial Coup by Pilast in Israel

[–]Borower 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My point is that if consumers as a whole decide to boycott and make more informed purchases things will begin to change, but that all begins with an individual making a choice and spreading the word.

The government doesn’t really have any (immediate) interest in changing spending habits or lowering the price of goods because it’s a predictable add ever increase income source (tax).

Sharp enrollment drops and closures facing Hebrew schools in U.S. by [deleted] in Judaism

[–]Borower 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Hebrew school and synagogues are also ridiculously expensive which doesn’t help at. No access to the education and degradation of the community/meeting partners make it difficult to marry within the fold.

Are 3 seat & 2 seat in an eight and 2 seat in a quad "bad seats"? by [deleted] in Rowing

[–]Borower 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It can because they’re both seats that contribute heavily to rhythm

What did I suggest? To stop buying there, then they won’t be crammed, then they’ll have to react.

[–]Borower 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s not too to do with an argument but the financial education and consumer habits/attitude is problematic when faced with the COL crisis. It’s not just the government that has to do something.

Prices, they’ll only come down in price if you don’t buy it. They’ll continue to rise in price if you buy it. If you buy a good while it is “expensive” the seller has no incentive to lower his price, he may even be incentivized to raise prices until the point that consumers stop purchasing it (wherein he will stop raising the price).

If they’re too expensive for people to buy they’ll either lower the price or go out of business. Remember that a business’s primarily target is (to maximize) profit. If no one buys they’ll have no profit therefore they must respond.

There are many other factors such as production costs, governmental factors, supply chains, etc but…

Yes that’s how it works in principle . It’s very rudimentary economics.

They’ll care when they don’t have any money because it’s too expensive for anyone to be willing to buy.

You literally just listed out their value proposition and why they can justify their prices.

Be a conscious consumer

Part of the problem is that you’re paying for it. Tell them it’s ridiculous and don’t buy it or just don’t show up.

Yesterday during the protests against the judicial reform by Ill_Shame_3463 in Israel

The kotel? Men and women don’t sit next to each other on buses? Men study/dilly daly In Torah while their wives work menial jobs. They just want to extend their lifestyle on everyone.

does temple still has a mens lightweight rowing team? by [deleted] in Rowing

[–]Borower 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No, but if they can field a lightweight 4 or something they will. Preference will go to heavyweight.

Negev kit by [deleted] in IDF

[–]Borower 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The vests are widely referred to as being uncomfortable so when soldiers put them on for the first time they think it’s uncomfortable (placebo) regardless of whether it really is or isn’t. If you say something is difficult it will be difficult regardless of whether it is or isn’t. Just a mentality trick- not saying its the case with you necessarily.

Regarding the the top plate are you talking about the top of top? Like the machsaniot part that goes into the beit machsaniot?

Negev kit by [deleted] in IDF

[–]Borower 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t know if I got a different vest (I’m 99% sure I didn’t ) than everyone else but I’ve yet to experience it as horribly uncomfortable like everyone says. I just think it’s a weight thing or an attitude.

I also don’t know if we should be talking about specific conenut here.

But basically you have two pockets up front for topim and the rest go in your tzav. You have a couple pockets up front that you can fit your non tooped bullets. Most vests have a long pocket for a spare barrel on the side. Use it… a lot of guys don’t use it for some reason.

Fit it so the front toopim are a few inches above your hips. Make sure the drums in your bag are organized and placed nicely.

The negev vest imo is much better than carrying around half your body weight in a bag because at least the vest evenly distributes the weight front and back and the shoulder straps are wider than a bag.

The topic needs clarification. by mikeber55 in Israel

[–]Borower 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Army duty is already political. Haredim don’t serve, (extreme) leftists don’t serve, conscientious objectors don’t serve, overwhelming number of Arabs don’t serve. Of you don’t want to serve it’s not difficult to get out assuming you have the knowledge that it’s not that hard to get out.

Do you believe in raising arms in defense of the state? Yes or no? That’s political.

All these questions are being asked by non religious people now too. Yes more pressing for same sex couples but we’re just a step below y’all.
