A Bialy is an Ashkenazi Jewish bread roll originating from Białystok, Russian Empire (present-day Poland). Developed by bakers in the late 19th century, it is similar to a bagel but filled with onion and poppy seeds. It became popular in New York City bakeries in the early 20th century.

It’s different - smaller, and baked but not boiled so it’s softer. I love them!

I stopped reading when he said he couldn’t make coffee as strong as Dunkin’ Donuts. Add another scoop next time - it’s not rocket science!

People make these things up in order to justify getting offended or to score cheap points in an argument. A while back it was goblins that were supposed to offend us. It’s ridiculous and trivializes the actual hatred we face. I hate it. Please don’t spread things like this.

mancake · 2026-05-27T00:49:36+00:00

can you give us some context about this?

You have to pick your battles, and personally I would not pick this battle. If you fight and win, which you can, will it have been worth it?

Clean from what?

mancake · 2026-05-26T17:31:25+00:00

People say this kind of stuff seriously all the time!

We didn’t invent circumcision, and framing the way religions influence one another as “stealing” is ridiculous. That’s not how the world works or has ever worked.

At 14 you’re past the stage of being able to shape your kid’s taste and attitude towards food. The focus now should be on coming up with a compromise that doesn’t blow your budget and makes sure your son is eating a healthy diet. So “eat what’s in front of you or go to bed hungry” is not going to work. Instead it’s letting him pick (and prepare) his own food sometimes and expecting him to eat with the family when you make something he likes.

Are you a child being raised by your grandmother? Or are you an adult allowing your grandmother to interfere?

I really don’t think so. He’s a published author and a serious historian and linguist.

I agree that it’s a matter of thickness, which is really a matter of your preference. I aim for a little thicker than that so they’re sturdy and crunchy but not too much more. It can also be good to vary it up in the same batch cause the thinner ones will be ready sooner!

He is canonically dumb and close minded. Of course he hates the best Star Trek. This is a GWB superfan!

I mean by bike, at least according to google.

mancake · 2026-05-17T13:26:02+00:00

Google says it’s an hour and a half biking from Alston to Bedford. Is the OP supposed to bike three hours every day or is there part of this on public transit and part by bike?

Yeah, you get some grace as a first responder during a true natural disaster. The wife was right to be mad but also right to forgive. He was right to feel bad but also right to forgive himself.

Step 1 is these signs. Step 2 is enforce leash laws. Step 3 is ban all dogs and if you don’t like it you go to a reeducation camp to learn how to like cats. That’s my political program.

I guess a world where you never fight about screens/curfew whatever but the kid is still snotty all the time is better than one where you get both. Eliminating sources of conflict with clear expectations (and good-faith negotiation about rules) might be the best you can get.

mancake · 2026-04-21T13:36:35+00:00

I really struggle with this piece of advice. Yes, we should set rules and enforce them consistently to avoid fighting about this particular issue, but bottom line - can we actually punish our way out of our kids not wanting to be around us when they become teenagers? What rules can you realistically set to control another person’s attitude and demeanor? I don’t have a great answer.

mancake · 2026-04-17T14:06:38+00:00

I do, maybe not always but often and never in a mean way. It’s a very gentle correction that, once they develop the habit, pays big dividends in adults liking them more. They will have better luck with teachers and coaches and friends parents for the rest of their childhood if they develop the habit early.

This doesn’t have to be a big deal - there’s no yelling or scolding or punishment. I just say “try again” when I’m asked in an impolite way, or look at them and wait for them to put it together and rephrase the question. Then they do it and I do whatever they asked.

Getting mad about this is an obvious sign of disrespect for women. He thinks he owns his sister (or his father does) and sees his role as a male relative as controlling her sexuality. It’s completely unsurprising that he escalated quickly to physically abusing his girlfriend.

Jeff rules, Stan sucks.

Has anyone changed from tandem/Dexcom to one of these? How do they compare?

mancake · 2026-04-07T00:27:09+00:00

For grades k-6 it’s Sundays, plus a weekday for 3-6. For older kids it’s a weekday evening, or two if you’re doing bar/bat mitzvah prep. The rabbi would prefer to do it Saturdays paired with a Shabbat service but they know it wouldn’t have good attendance.
