The eruv really isn't about doing work, it's about being able to carry things like house keys, medication, babies etc. People misunderstand the eruv as expanding the boundaries of the household or personal dwelling when really it's more like substituting for the boundaries of a city wall. The original restriction was on carrying burdens into or out of the gates of Jerusalem on shabbat. On the other hand you still can't do things like open an umbrella or play golf, so there's that.

I have heard from a coworker that the Chicago electric utility (Com Ed) has to report if certain electrical lines fall down. That those lines are used for the same thing, substituting for a city wall on Shabbat.

Some flights have been delayed or canceled because of religious assholes who can't plan better and don't want to have to fly on shabbat.

No, you see, an umbrella is technically a tent because it protects you from the elements :jewish:

It's exactly the point. "God gave us brains and it pleases him when we use them". It's like if your kid gets in trouble at school in a really creative way. Sure you've gotta discipline them but it makes you a little proud.

The basis of modern Jewish thought (like post second temple) is dialectic.

I can't find it offhand, but there's a great bit in 'Lamb: The Gospel According To Biff' about the difference between the Jews and the other religions.

They didn't choose to be Jewish. God chose them.

So, yeah, they screw up and sometimes bad enough that entire cities get burned to the ground or people get turned into pillars of salt, but they're still Jewish. They can always go home, even after having a double bacon cheeseburger.

So this guy says that the oven fits their rules and everyone else says "NUH UH" so then he gets god to do magical acts to signify that he is correct, and then god directly speaks to them and says "hey, this guy is right." But then the other guy says a quote from the torah and everyone agrees that it proves the first guy is wrong because they disagree with him. So then the second guy banishes the first guy in the name of unity. Then later says that he talked to god and god was super happy that they defeated him. I expected to see "and that Rabbi was Donald Trump" at the end of the wikipedia page.

Ow:

quote:

A 54-year-old worker died after he fell into a vat of sulfuric acid at a South Lyon-based steel manufacturing firm in what is being described as a "serious industrial accident."

Daniel Hill was fully submerged in the 10 percent to 12 percent sulfuric acid solution Saturday afternoon as his Michigan Seamless Tube co-workers worked desperately to pull him from the industrial container, burning themselves from the at least 160-degree chemical solution, Fire Chief Robert Vogel said.

"Other employees, co-workers saw him in the tank," Vogel said. "He was completely submerged and was 100 percent covered in burns. The gentleman was trying to get out. They ran and grabbed him and pulled him out."

Roughly 11 hours later, Hill died of chemical burns at 11:30 p.m. Saturday, said Kristin LaMaire, administrative assistant to the Washtenaw County Medical Examiner.

This is going to sound hilariously dorky but the Talmud has some hilarious stories.

No but it counts as murder charged against the poor fool they were trying to shoot.

Cops could mistake you for a suspected shoplifter, yell for you to stop, you not realize they're yelling at you to stop and when they open fire and hit some random pedestrians and another cop congrats you just murdered a cop while resisting arrest.

That still doesn't explain why the driver reversed when stopped at the lights or how the song actually played into that.
