- Comment on Can I just convert to Judaism tomorrow and get a free vacation to Israel? 9 months ago:
No, they don’t mean Jews religiously. They mean Jewish through heritage, similar to the way many countries do citizenship by birthright rather than birthplace (like the US does). In Hebrew law(?) the birthright is passed down by the mother as prior to genealogy that was a surefire way of proving your parent is who they say they are.
My information is secondhand and any corrections are welcome.
- Comment on Can you survive on pickles alone, for a while? 10 months ago:
Yeah they said only pickles, and even with the liquid in the pickles it’s so briny that unless they are also drinking additional water their kidneys would keep using more water the same way drinking salt water would cause. I took the question as only pickles and that, as you said, would only last until dehydration sets in. Now if they have unlimited fresh water I’d say until malnutrition so maybe a few weeks, a few horrible weeks. Just playing along and speculating, I am not a MD.

Who do you think would be the DNC candidate?

They got the name wrong.
- Comment on The future of Bidenomics: You pay Social Security tax on all of your income? 10 months ago:
The difference between Social Security and a Ponzi Scheme is the Ponzi lures people in with promises of high rate of return. Social Security is involuntary and promises flat returns (not even rate since deduction amounts are different based on earnings).

I consider a gurney or a mortuary the ground.
- Comment on Judo vs Thai Boxing 10 months ago:
All fights end up on the ground. Judo excels at getting them there faster and BJJ at ending it once horizontal.

- Comment on You may want to sit down 11 months ago:
Yeah I thought it trolled a little too hard at first, but when someone else pointed out what it ‘meant’ I feel like if they’re trolling they got it just right.
