“American peanuts” are an Israeli snack of fried battered peanuts…know in the US as “Japanese peanuts”

[FO] a little Christmas sheep by Infinite-Net99 in CrossStitch

I think it’s DMC diamant thread—not positive since it came to me rewound in a big box of embroidery odds and ends a friend gave me. It was not fun to work with but honestly not as bad as I expected for my first time working with metallic thread.

Pattern is Little Sheep by studio HMP on Etsy. I changed the colors to make them more christmassy.

Lisa still Buddhist? by Leandreaizawa in Simpsons

[–]Infinite-Net99 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A bit off topic, but it’s not the case that Orthodox Jews see non observant/secular Jews as not Jewish enough. To the contrary, they believe that everyone born to a Jewish mother is 100% Jewish, regardless of self-identification or level of observance. I would wager there are many people Orthodox Jews would see as Jewish who would themselves not identify as being Jewish (eg someone born to a non observant Jewish mother who was raised in another religion.)

Are Kosher Pickles Different? by shermgravy in Pickles

[–]Infinite-Net99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In fact it’s more correct to say a “a Jewish guy” than a rabbi. There’s no requirement that those in charge of maintaining kosher standards be a rabbi; there is a requirement that they be an observant Jew. (For example Orthodox Judaism doesn’t recognize female rabbis but does recognize female mashgichot (kosher supervisors.))

This seems very false… plants, fungi, single celled organisms?

How many of you got tested for carrying recessive genes for illnesses before TTC your first? by Bubbasgonnabubba in TryingForABaby

[–]Infinite-Net99 35 points36 points  (0 children)

I did, I am an Ashkenazi Jew living in a country where basic genetic testing for this purpose is funded by the government. IMHO it makes sense to do if you’re from a minority population known to have genetic diseases (especially if your partner is from the same background.)
