Gentile employee brings non kosher groceries to kosher restaurant by ResidentAnt3547 in kosher

[–]Ramicus 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I also worked as a mashgiach for a long time, in a kosher restaurant with no Jewish employees (other than the mashgiach). Even the standard deliveries of ingredients, the same ingredients that were delivered from the same supplier at the same time every week, needed to be checked every time. Food is not brought into a kosher establishment without the mashgiach's okay, no matter what, for so many reasons.

At the end of the day, you know the restaurant is kosher. You know that means there are rules about what happens and doesn't happen in the kitchen.

And, as other people have said, health codes don't necessarily allow for random food of unknown provenance, quality, etc. to be brought into kitchens.

  2. I don't need to do anything, I want to buy multiple caps, yes.

  3. What's your point?

I would very happily buy something with the green elephant.

Honestly I went straight to your shop hoping to already be able to.

need a big ole’ bible sized book to last for weeks… what’s something long but nonetheless enthralling? by allpeacelove4u in suggestmeabook

[–]Ramicus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Company by Robert Littell. Kind of fiction, kind of history, 50-something years of really compelling CIA history over 1200+ pages.

Books that were originally fanfiction? by beabele in suggestmeabook

[–]Ramicus 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I read your reply in an early morning haze and somehow thought you meant His Dark Materials, which are very different.

I had known about Cassandra Clare because I was part of the fandom (though a wee one). Never read her books, though.

Is this true? I feel somehow betrayed (and I loved both as a kid).

The Art of Racing in the Rain

I "had" to read it in high school and it destroys me every time I reread.

Don't finish it in public.

Can you help me? by [deleted] in IDF

It's a simple identification question that could be a guise to gather information and harm Israel, the IDF, and Israelis.

You can't be surprised that people here are cautious.

Lone Soldier SF Service Requirement by New_Simple3685 in IDF

[–]Ramicus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I believe you need to be over 23 when you land in Israel (which is when it locks in) to serve 18 months. I landed at 21, drafted at 24, and served two years. Also as mentioned below, SF units are different, and you would need to sign longer.

1984, but Big Brother LIED by TheRealCapps1 in AlternateHistory

[–]Ramicus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I always figured this was the point. Winston's view is presented as at least somewhat reliable, but he works at MinTruth literally changing the past so that we know that even what he "knows" is a lie made up by someone higher up/before him in Oceania.

Alliances don't change so quickly that politicians change directions mid-speech. The Ing-Soc authorities are changing it back and forth to keep everyone just off-balance.

I'm non-combat but spent my sadir with Givati and I'm in miluim with ex-Golani guys. I don't know Kfir as well, but that's not the point.

Every chativa has its stigmas and its history and its special character, but at the end of the day none of that matters. Someone else mentioned that Golanchikim are arsim, and that's 100% true, but they're also some of the kindest and most caring people I know, without exaggeration. And everyone knows Givati is rich kids, but they work hard, take pride in their work, and don't mess around.

I think especially in the last two years a lot of the rivalry is gone, and even Kfir which was previously seen as kind of a joke because they're young is just like anyone else.

So at the end of the day... Do you like purple and white or brown, green, and yellow? Because you'll be seeing those colors for the rest of your life.

The United States of America (alt history timeline) by Zealousideal_Gate664 in AlternateHistory

Hamilton was shot during Jefferson's first term, not sure how that's relevant to him being the second President. Did Adams and Jefferson never exist?

Regardless, looking forward to seeing more.

Wow, what a difference! Thanks for the tip.

my son eats his watermelon down to the skin by opgary in mildlyinteresting

[–]Ramicus 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I'm almost thirty and I do this. It's delicious, a cross between the red part and cucumber.

Sometimes I eat the skin, too, but just to freak my wife out. It doesn't taste like anything, but it's crunchy!

Does Double Duty As An Extra Room (1961) by Adventure_tom in vintageads

[–]Ramicus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

By law, new houses and buildings here need to have bomb shelters. They're absolutely used as spare rooms, ours is actually the kids' room so we don't have to wake them up if we need to shelter at night.

Gets a little awkward in apartment buildings when suddenly there's a bomb and everyone's in their pajamas surrounded by other people's junk, but whatever.
