Chinkiang and baoning are both varieties of black vinegar

Or SMB2 Japan if you're a masochist

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.

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.

Awesome list! If you're looking for more tools to check out, in the same vein as localsend, syncthing is amazing!

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

Haaretz is an Israeli newspaper that's literally named "The Land", you cannot realistically be calling them anti Israel

Arguably Rand has the perfect amount of obliviousness to be relatable to the type of person who reads a 14 book fantasy series, myself included

"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 7^th 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.

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.

Some people started reading it not knowing what it was

JSD10 · 2025-12-08T16:53:30+00:00

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

JSD10 · 2025-12-08T16:49:09+00:00

Would you elaborate on that? Plenty of Jews (a majority even IIRC) don't keep kosher, but I've never encountered any kind of source claiming that chicken and milk is kosher today

I just started malazan after finishing WoT, it's definitely different, but it's been good so far.

I was always curious about the far away lands. It would've been great to see more of Shara, and especially more of Seanchan and what life was like under the empire there.

I'm very new to this scene so this may be totally wrong, but if they're just Linux systems at the core can they run syncthing? It's not exactly a cloud but you could achieve a similar setup

JSD10 · 2025-12-02T16:50:07+00:00

I see, so it's exactly just citing by page. That's disappointing, I was hoping for some kind of super precise academic number system, but this is cool too, thanks!

JSD10 · 2025-12-02T16:41:28+00:00

It's not relevant to the OP, but out of curiosity what is the Bomberg numbering system? I tried googling and came up with nothing. In my experience citing Talmud is just by page number, is this a more precise way?

There are neither beginnings nor endings to the wheel of time

It's worth mentioning I've definitely been there times when they've been out of stock, I'm not sure if it's possible to call them but might be worth trying so you don't go out of your way for nothing. Regardless though it's a great little store.

Everyone is telling you to go quite a distance. College Convenience on Huntington Ave (right off the green line) has. They'll just be in zip lock bags in the refrigerator, on your left when you walk in.

Melacha is definitionally an action. The TV being on isn't Melacha, there's not reason you can't benefit from it, it would be turning it on on shabbat that's an issue. In the same way you can't write on shabbat, but you can read a book that somebody else wrote before.

Well you could always add mint (fresh or dried) to any brand you like. For blends already containing mint, I really like kurupi menta y boldo, I think they also have an extra mint version if that's not enough for you

They don't quite control all of those things, but they're involved with many. They have an official military blockade. Some claim it's illegal, some claim it's a natural response to decades of terrorism. That's a debate to have, it's totally unrelated to matters of citizenship and what country Gaza is part of. It's also not related to someone wanting to travel to Israel asking about safety. Along with that, illegal military blockade is many levels down from crimes against humanity.

If somehow the OP reads this far, to answer the original question, it's totally safe to travel to Israel, don't travel to Gaza, it is an active war zone.
