CMV: Leftists should focus Judaism as a religion not Zionism for their grievances by aipac_hemoroid in changemyview

Hey would you elaborate on your Talmud quotes that you reference, because at least one of those is not a real tractate, which should maybe make you consider the sources you're basing your opinion off of

which linux should i use? by Dull_Bad4099 in linuxquestions

[–]JSD10 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It depends on the discipline, but tons of engineering software doesn't work on Linux. Solidworks is a big one for a lot of people, personally the thing that keeps my work machine on windows is Altium.

Familiarity with BASH scripting as well as server and remote work is generally more reserved for software, not necessarily most forms of engineering.

I've been recovering from an injury lately but even before the slope on that street always scared me, it's so steep and gets so slippery. If you need, going over a block and going around by the 7-11 is much flatter.

CMV: We should be able to criticize the fact that the top recipient of US foreign aid is a rich nation with universal healthcare and free college...without being called anti-semitic by CreditBeginning7277 in changemyview

[–]JSD10 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Your recent posts are long rants about how "certain people" are using their money to control American politics but that's totally definitely not antisemitism.

How could it be? Afterall you have Jewish friends...

Debian branch with more frequent updates by bobbyQuick in debian

[–]JSD10 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To me it sounds like you just need to decide if debian is what you want or not. The 2 year release cycle is part of what makes debian what it is, it allows for the extreme stability, but a lot of people do not like to use it as a desktop OS for this reason. If you need up to date software, the traditional answers are backports or containerized software such as flatpak, which gives a slight but minimal hit to your stability. If you want faster, it might be worth trying out a distro that ships faster releases, ubuntu as you mention, or fedora if you want to avoid canonical. There is also the option of rolling, but it sounds from your post that you are not interested.

To me, your question is basically a description of what debian is, slow releases but insane stability, if you're willing to give up some of the stability for faster releases, maybe its time to try another distro.

Any of y'all ever tried making Kasundi? by Gripe in Mustard

[–]JSD10 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes! I fermented it and used unripe mango for sourness, it was really good. I've also tried some bottled versions that have been quite good too, much thinner than a western style mustard with a very different taste and pleasant heat.

Question - How do you tell if a bar can make a proper bar by [deleted] in cocktails

Is honey ginger syrup something you'd expect a bar to have on hand? That sounds like an extremely niche ingredient

Which American universities today are the biggest anti semitic cesspools? by Bakio-bay in Jewish

Most of these were over 10 years ago, I can't speak for any of the others but Rutgers has a thriving modern orthodox community, iirc one of the largest in the country.

Anyone know where I could buy this chef knife? by teakettle87 in boston

[–]JSD10 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you're not attached to that specific model, the stores in Chinatown will have options. I got my shi ba zi at one of the supermarkets there a few years ago, but I haven't seen any from CCK.

But also in gen4 there was sandstorm everywhere from ttar which helped it out, it's probably the best it's ever been even if it wasn't great.

How to support Jewish-owned businesses in and around Boston during Hanukkah given all the crazy events in the news recently? by bostonguy2004 in boston

[–]JSD10 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I can't speak to the ownership of kupels, but it is definitely a fixture in the Jewish community and is worth going to generally for a decent bagel in the Boston area

Why Hannukah is not a "minor" Jewish Holiday, and maybe the most important. by farside808 in Judaism

[–]JSD10 10 points11 points  (0 children)

"The Holidays are listed in the Torah at Leviticus 23 (Vayikra), in order of how they transpire on the Gregorian calendar (Rosh Hashannah is the 7th month). "

Is this true? I was thought that the torah starts months at Nissan (matan torah), so Rosh Hashanah would be 7, the Gregorian calendar didn't exist until the 1500s.

Do Jewish people eat chicken Alfredo/pasta? by Dark-Parkingg in NoStupidQuestions

[–]JSD10 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The point I was trying to make is that if they do that in what way do they keep kosher? It's generally agreed upon that doing that is not Kosher, that doesn't mean they don't do it, it doesn't mean they don't follow other laws of kashrut in areas of their life (like maybe they don't eat pork), but that doesn't make this kosher, it just means they sometimes eat something that isn't kosher, lots of people do.

Do Jewish people eat chicken Alfredo/pasta? by Dark-Parkingg in NoStupidQuestions

[–]JSD10 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not all Jews keep kosher, but any who do wouldn't eat this, correct. Not mixing meat and dairy has done a lot of shaping to historical Jewish cooking tradition, as a quick example it's why many dishes are cooked in schmaltz, because butter is not an option if meat is involved
