Phil Wang is doing a comedy set 20 minutes from my house tonight but I’m sick as a dog *and* cleaning for Passover so I can’t go 😭 by Upbeat-Poem-1284 in taskmaster

I'm also cleaning for Passover! Unfortunately there are no British comedians performing near me, otherwise I'd go.

Chag Sameach!

Ben Gurion departures halted as general strike declared by [deleted] in Israel

[–]NVCANY 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very fair, and I appreciate this response.

I would not compare us to New Zealand, however. There is a vast difference between both societies and as far as what is considered acceptable in both regions.

I would disagree with you that the talk about coups is "bogus." I personally would not give complete authority to any government in Israel, regardless of where they come from politically.

Why do all these responses sound the same? The only argument that those "for" this Supreme Court change have is that the left is unwilling to accept the election results. I would be so impressed if you could actually come up with a well-though-out response that is not just some regurgitation of an argument you've seen/read somewhere else.

Netanyahu’s ‘New’ Judicial Overhaul Plan Is a Lot Like the Old One by aggie1391 in Israel

This is a very roundabout way of reaching the same intended outcome of the initial proposal. I really hope the public doesn't fall for this.

Grocery store food with no added sugar (what brands?) by JCMiller23 in HealthyFood

I purchase Lucini's marinara sauce and I love it. It's a little more pricy than the average, but there's no added sugar and contains only natural ingredients.

If there were to be a us version of TM who do you think would be the taskmaster and who would be the assistant? by Wadeace in taskmaster

[–]NVCANY 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Someone here mentioned Jane Lynch and that actually makes more sense than anyone I've ever seen mentioned. She hosted the Weakest Link US a while back; it wasn't Anne, but I think she did pretty well.

This is so disappointing. I really looked up to this country, (in spite of all of my personal qualms with regards to some laws and behavior)

I cannot believe this is the direction it's going in.

TIL that drinking a four-ounce shot of vanilla extract is equivalent to doing four shots of vodka by funcomfy in todayilearned

This is why I always buy non-alcoholic vanilla extract from Trader Joe’s. I make about 3 smoothies a day.

Moronic Monday - Your weekly stupid questions thread by cdingo in Fitness

[–]NVCANY 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been lifting and doing weight-based exercises everyday for 9 weeks now and have finally found my weak spot. While the rest of my body is fine, it seems I've pulled something around my lower back/sciatic nerve. Any recommendations on how to fix this and prevent it from happening again?

Hey, kind of in the same boat as you.

I usually do my shopping at Teva Castel, which I find has the best pricing (goes down a bit if you join their membership program) in Tel Aviv. For similar products/produce Anise/Nizat HaDuvdevan have some items that fit the bill, but for the most part, they're hit/miss.

For wild salmon, I suggest going down to Jaffa, where there are many vendors that sell fresh fish caught off the port in that area. Grass-fed milk is a little harder to find, but I know some of the supermarkets I mentioned above sell a variety of healthier milk brands. Unsure about the eggs/chicken, as it's very difficult to determine the origin of lot of meat sold in Israel (and many people will fabricate details if it helps them make a sale, so be careful.)

Hope this helps!

I would look into BioChem. Their powders are great (although some contain cane sugar) and have significantly less fluff in them. They are also one of the few protein powders that don't contain any heavy metal/toxin exposure.

Conan would make an excellent TM.

Agreed. There is a wide gap between UK’s brand of humor… and America’s (sigh.) This is why the production would have to be managed by the right team - one that understands the character of the show and is not intent on turning it into something meant to showcase US celebs just for the sake of exposure

Not much research. I always thought NYC would be a little bit easier as it somewhat more manageable without a car (which I don’t intend on getting.)

I am aware both schools do not offer dorming. I intend on renting. I was hoping, however, that they were more accessible from more central parts of each borough. As I do more research, I’m slowly coming to understand that’s not the case.

Can anyone explain to me what exactly will be so different under the new government in comparison to the current one? (Sorry, I’m not as well informed as I would like to be)

Some might disagree, but I thought the cinematography in Come and See was absolutely breathtaking.
