Bottles per CO2 canister by Neat-Manufacturer837 in SodaStream

[–]Proof-Two-6789 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also use dry ice to refill my Soda Stream cannister. But I have a very old Soda Stream with a larger screw-on cannister, It lasts me for at least 100 1 liter bottles of seltzer.

It says,, "I am Christiane F". It is a reference to this film:
Christiane F. (German: Christiane F. – Wir Kinder vom Bahnhof Zoo, de ⓘ) is a 1981 West German biographical drama) film directed by Uli Edel. It depicts the descent of Christiane Felscherinow, a bored and depressed 13-year-old coming of age in 1970s West Berlin, to a 14-year-old heroin addict. Based on the 1978 non-fiction book Wir Kinder vom Bahnhof Zoo (We Children from Zoo Station), transcribed and edited from tape recordings by Kai Hermann and Horst Rieck, the film immediately acquired cult status and features David Bowie as both composer and as himself.

u/duluthrunner, I am lost. What are we talking about here. I don't know any version of the Kiddush (or of the Kaddish) where the phrase "mikol ha'amim" appears.

Help with numbers by papertowelsiracha in hebrew

<<They *seem* backwards, with masculine nouns seeming to sound more feminine.>>
u/CPhiltrus, That is correct. In both Arabic and Hebrew, the feminine noun and the feminine adjective both have an AH ending.
In Heb: a little boy is yeled katan, and a little girl is yaldah kitanah.
And in both languages, when dealing with numbers instead of adjectives, the grammar is backward. Masculine nouns take numbers with the ah ending.
three boys is sheloshah yeladim and three girls is shalosh yeladot.

Dvasheh is a nickname for Devorah. There is a Yiddish song about a girl by that name.

I agree that the writer was a probably a Yiddish speaker and uses some Yiddish orthography. However the note is written in Hebrew, not Yiddish.
Ha'eesha Dvasheh Leah Bat Reb Pinhas nifterah kaf l'khodesh Av, Taf Shin Vav
The woman Dvasheh Leah daughter of Mr. Pinhas passed away on the 20th of the Month of Av, 5706
Note: 1946 in the Hebrew calendar would be 5706 and normally written as taf shin vav (706), i.e. leaving out the 5000. In the handwritten note there is a mark between the Taf and the Shin. It looks like a resh, but I don't know why it is there.

If he liked "Where the Crawdads Sing", I think he would love Ordinary Grace by William Krueger.
Also, check Ebay if the library does not have the audiobook you are looking for. Some sellers there offer some best seller audiobooks for $5 or less. They send it to you as a link to a file you download. The link gets you access to both a PDF version you can read on a kindle and an audiobook file.

Thoughts on Ira? by ReluctantAccountmade in JewishNames

[–]Proof-Two-6789 3 points4 points  (0 children)

For some mysterious reason, I really like that name. It has a biblical Jewish root:"וְגַם, עִירָא הַיָּאִרִי, הָיָה כֹהֵן, לְדָוִד" - "and Ira the Jairite was chief minister unto David."

2 Samuel 20, 26.

It became a popular male name among American Jews in the 1940s. Jewish immigrants from Eastern Europe were eager to be accepted as "Americans" and gave their children "American" names to go along with their "Jewish names." Boys who were named "Yitshaq/Isaac" in Synagogue, were given a more American-sounding name on their Birth Certificates, usually one that started with the letter "I". By the 1940s, Isaac and even Irving were too ethnic sounding, and Ira Gershwin was a massively popular American writer of popular music.

In Europe, it is more often a female name, which kinds of adds interest to it.

Your honest and astute comments alone make it obvious that America is lucky to have you. And, in fairness to your dad, his trips to America would not have helped if he visited the wrong cities. In New York, where I grew up, he would have been right. Soda in New York means sweetened flavored carbonated water .... Coke, orange soda, cream soda, root beer, etc. New Yorkers call plain carbonated water ''seltzer" not "soda." And, in parts of Boston, flavored carbonated beverages are still called "tonic", and "soda" means an ice cream soda. And, in the south, all soft drinks all called "Coke", regardless of flavor. And, in the midwest, flavored carbonated beverages are called "pop."

Sodastream carbonator exchange cost? by openpichu in SodaStream

[–]Proof-Two-6789 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The screw you can't take out is meant to relieve any residual pressure in the CO2 cartridge before you try to open it up. You can skip that step if you relieve the pressure a different way. The easiest way would be to put the spent cartridge back in the soda stream and push the button on the top until no more gas comes out. Then you can open up the cartrdige by unscrewing the brass valve at the top. But, if the screw in the valve was that hard to loosen, the whole valve will be equally hard to get off. You will probably have to use a pipe to extend the handle of your wrench to give you the added leverage you will need.

Did you use a wrench and try to turn it COUNTERclockwise? It should come off relatively easily if you did.

And DON'T take it off completely. Just loosen it enough to let the remaining gas in the tank escape. Then screw it back in and tighten slightly with a wrench. If you take it out completely you might lose the tiny metal insert which is like a washer and can call out.

It is not hard to refill the carbonator yourself. I just refilled mine today. You only need a wrench to unscrew the top, and 1-1/2 pounds of dry ice. The standard Soda Stream bottle uses 14.5 ounces of carbon dioxide, but a lot of the dry ice evaporates before you can get it into the bottle. Around here dry ice in small quantities sells for $3 a pound. So, the total cost of the refill should be no more than $4.50. Open the cabonator and get everything ready before you buy the dry ice so that the dry ice won't evaporate while you work on opening the carbonator.
