More or less what I expected as an OTD guy, but I concur with the general consensus that some of these questions are really bad.

@sofis236 @mycr_karenina It’s the hardest part for me as well, and I also get the least practice with that because I don’t really have any Hebrew speaking friends, but I try to talk to myself in Hebrew and interject out loud when I listen to podcasts.
English
@rlprsn @mycr_karenina Do you also practice speaking? I found that to be the hardest part of learning English for me, I wonder how it is the other way around
English
@mycr_karenina Same for me, it’s just a personal project/hobby for now. Another resource that I find helpful is Esther Raizen’s workbook from U of Texas and old NY State Hebrew regents exams, although those will probably be too easy.

@elongilad My only knowledge on this topic comes from the basic storyline they teach in yeshiva, so pardon my ignorance, but was the calendar not fixed in place already by Hillel?

1/8 Imagine preparing for the Passover Seder, only to realize half the Jews in your city think the holiday doesn't start for another two days.
In the year 921 CE, this actually happened. 🧵

@RobertJMolnar No credible source is reporting that it will be out of service for that long. It was scheduled to be relieved anyway and will need about a week of repair.
English
Nobody is buying this dumb fucking story about a fire in the laundry room causing damage that will take 12-14 months to repair....they clearly got hit....sailors told told to shut up or face court martial....but it will come out at some point
Kerry Burgess@KerryBurgess
The USS Gerald R. Ford is now out of commission for at least 12-14 months due to that fire caused by a fluff buildup in a tumble dryer....

@Abbeth @flightradar24 Correct, there’s no rush. This isn’t a criminal investigation.

@flightradar24 No rush huh? Tomorrow is fine, it is not like lives were lost.

The NTSB says the Flight Data Recorder and Cockpit Voice recorder from the CRJ-900 at La Guardia have been recovered and brought to the NTSB lab in Washington DC. They have determined the CVR is undamaged and the FDR will be looked at tomorrow. #AC8646

@TomoFflandrys @2D0XPS Moses only became popular as a Jewish name during the Middle Ages, around the same time that Spanish speaking Christians started using Jesus as a give name. Both cases are borrowed from the Muslim practice of naming children Muhammad.
English
@2D0XPS You say Moses is a popular name. True today, but in the entire Talmud (among the over 5000 rabbis quoted), only one individual is called Moses (and there is 1 David and 1 Avraham). There are however 87 Acha's and 74 Huna's, names not used nowadays.
English
There's quite a massive Jesus-shaped hole in why those names might have become popular in Britain.
But what's more interesting is the ‘good guy’ Old Testament names (no-ones naming their sons Lamech) that are rare in Christian/secular British circles but common in Jewish ones.
Shambo of Luxembourg@BradfemlyWalsh
People don't even realise that most names we think of as quintessentially British are, in fact, Jewish: Rachel, Rebecca, Sarah, Elizabeth, Benjamin, Samuel, Michael, Simon, etc. Because that's how well Jewish people have integrated into British culture for nearly 1000 years.

@benlandautaylor Seems to be pretty well established that they were used for archery. They’re consistently depicted that way in ancient art. More stable than horseback, especially since stirrups weren’t invented yet.
English
It's wild how we we know that chariots were THE dominant weapon in ancient warfare for many centuries but historians don’t agree on how you actually FOUGHT from a chariot, and there's no satisfying account of how it’s better than just riding a horse besides being rad as hell.

So you mean to tell me, an airplane can go right through the World Trade Center that had steel structure beams of 4 inch plate every 40” using 12 different grades of steel with a yield strength of 100,000 psi but if the same plane were to run into a firetruck on a runway the plane is completely destroyed.
Got it!

@TreeTitan21 @LinkofSunshine I’d be more willing to buy this if any of the initial advocates for body cams acknowledged this issue in advance instead of changing their mind once body cam footage began to exonerate police in the overwhelming majority of use-of-force cases. A little consistency goes a long way
English
@LinkofSunshine 1st person perspective bias, actually makes people more sympathetic to police lol

Bizarre that dentistry isn’t a field of medicine. Dental research, what little there is, doesn’t meet medical standards. There are no incentives for dentists to focus on prevention, no coordination with doctors, no real standards for care. It’s absurd
Grant Slatton@GrantSlatton
insane that we tolerate living in a society where you can go see one dentist and he's like "ya u have 13 cavities, will be $4000 to fix them all" then see another and he's like "that guy was full of shit and trying to scam you, you're fine" ???
English
This is because our quality of living is improving across the board and skilled artisans can no longer be paid starvation wages. Cities just can’t afford what it would cost to do this today, and they could in the past because artists were indentured servants.

@CosmonautMarcus Meanwhile the actual origin of the Space Opera genre is the Foundation Trilogy, which itself was a nod to Gibbon’s Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire.

Star Wars is inspired by like 0-3% of Dune and would still exist without Dune. If we are powerscaling cultural impact, there is no argument. Darth Vader’s breathing alone mogs any iconography from Dune. Lets be serious
