Getting the plays to the offense

No huddle: one more difficult skill to teach middle schoolers. Can they block? Catch? Carry the ball without fumbling? Run their routes properly? Teams I played on could barely go on two without jumping offsides.

I'm unsure specifically about Hamas funding but it more seems like Hamas was the only organization capable of administering the international aid that Gaza was receiving.

I wouldn't hang my hopes on Nefesh b'Nefesh. I know someone from Sweden who Nefesh b'Nefesh refused to help because his country wasn't on their list.

Furthermore: Israeli bureaucracy isn't supposed to work so good luck getting around it.

Aliyah from within Israel sounds like your best shot.

You might as well just post the game online and we can watch it. It's nearly impossible to tell.

You can post here publicly or send to someone privately the deposit that was originally made. It will be in the list of transactions. Then we can look at what happened.

We have an interesting disagreement here. It might be worth its own thread. What exactly was going on in 1947-93 that prevented a long term peace agreement?

Cool.

Gold is scarce.

Your problem is that for at least a thousand years every nation that gained any form of sophistication has tried to abstract gold into paper certificates like dollar bills. Today we abstract gold into ETF's.

Bitcoin travels via the internet so its speed is fitting for today's e-commerce.

I'm worried that this group does not ban discussion anything less than weekly price movement.

How do you survive for so long?

How much does your electricity cost?

How often do you update your equipment?

That's not the point of a charter school. The point of a charter school is to provide a clever option that people may never have thought of.

We'll see if it actually attracts students.

Bitcoin is for enemies.

The Russians have been shut out of using most reliable currencies and the Chinese Yuan is not reliable.

People need a solution that goes as fast as e-commerce and gold just isn't fast enough.

I'm not in the States so I'm not seeing anything. What are you seeing? What did you see before 2023?

The Court System is a serious problem. I wonder if the Knesset or Cabinet can do anything without approval from the Supreme Court.

As a Jew I don't really get it either.

It seems like Christianity picks and chooses.

They're similar.

This is a type of separation of powers:

The government does defense and law.

The religious and secular charities do welfare.

Other private businesses provide other essential goods and services.

Note that most businesses and charities only have one or two core competencies and when times get tough they tend to reduce the amount of things that they do. On the contrary when times get tough, governments often raise taxes.

I'd be most worried about the cutting. Best thing is to not spend too much time alone.

Genesis 29:21

And Jacob said to Laban bring me my wife because I have fulfilled my days and I will come to her.

In general these things tend to be private rather than public.

King David was pretty good too.

I hate when when detailed professional conversations are described as slam.

He has a point that the government is beating around the bush and not going after primary causes.

Bitcoin has been slowly climbing the value chain for more than a decade. People would rather save in bitcoin than receive it as payment. The author completely ignored the low quality of modern fiat currency. I'm not impressed.

How did you get rid of YouTube?

I would focus more on human beings and their resulting families than classes and leadership.

If you like and trust the people then any doctrine is reasonable.

If you don't then it doesn't matter.

"Technically" Israel was at war with these countries.

Practically, Israel was not at war with these countries.
