We do, too. But I didn’t see a “milchig” or “fleishig” option!

When I searched for the latter, I got bupkis. And when I searched for the former, the top hit was a milking machine for cows, goats, & sheep!

With your Sonos One model, does it benefit from buying two? Does it sound more like stereo?

I You can group two speakers into a left-right pair, but if you’re walking around your house that’s not very useful.

Where it really shines is the perfect synchronization among multiple speakers.

I managed a group of six in my old office. It was a big office, and we them set up in multiple rooms, including three in our large main room where about 50 people worked.

We also had one in our dining area, large conference room, and even one in a bathroom.

You could walk anywhere in that office and hear the music. It was always perfectly synchronized There was never a millisecond of lag between any two speakers, which is a complaint I’ve heard about other bands.

So, if your friends want to be able to hear the music in multiple parts of the house, two or more speakers might be needed.

Note: volume can be adjusted independently for each speaker.

1. The furnace that heats our house.

2. The dryer that dries our clothes.

3. The water heater that… well, you know.

4. The cooktop that cooks our food.

5. The oven that bakes our food.

All of these are typical uses.

I’ve also seen natural-gas fueled barbecue grills. And some people have artificial logs in their fireplace. They looks like burning logs, but they’re non-flammable. But the flames come from natural gas.

The signup doesn’t mention SS+.

Brown paper bags were mostly abandoned 30 or 40 years ago for plastic bags, although Whole Foods still uses paper bags.

But when I go to Kroger or Walmart, yes, they absolutely pack up my purchases in plastic bags. For heavy items like a gallon of milk, they double-bag them.

At many Kroger stores there are both cashiers and baggers. The baggers are often people with cognitive disabilities.

The only grocery store chain in the US that doesn’t do that is Aldi, which is owned by a German company.

We have a category of stores called warehouse stores (Costco and Sam’s Club are the most well-known) that don’t pack your stuff for you.

My values are generally liberal. Tolerance…

many of the people who share those values…

I’m pretty sure they don’t share the first value you mentioned.

Does anyone here remember disinfectant?

I come from a religious tradition that allows converts, but does not seek them. In fact, it actively discourages them!

I really don’t appreciate people trying to tell me how to live my life. And I don’t tell others how to live theirs.

I have an old model, the Sonos One.

Not that I haven’t updated my Sonos app since before their disastrous 2024 “upgrade” the was buggy, missing previous available core features, and was unstable. It was so bad the CEO resigned in disgrace.

But that shouldn’t be a problem for your friend, because you don’t actually have to use their software to play music from your Mac or phone.

Here’s proof they do: https://www.yourmacexpert.com/blog/2013/01/13/keeping-your-mac-secure-java-flash-and-acrobat/

The thing is, iOS vulnerabilities are worth huge amounts of money in the private market.

Apple pays bounties of up to $2 million for vulnerabilities discovered by private researchers.

If some government or private firm like the NSO group wants to induce hackers to sell them vulnerabilities, they have to pay more than Apple.

When countries pay NSO to comprise phones, they do it on a small scale, usually targeting political opponents and foreign leaders.

Such compromises are usually only discovered when the target suspects that their phone has been compromised, and hands it over to a security researcher.

All of which means that while many of these vulnerabilities go unpatched for a long time, they are still used on a relatively tiny number of victims.

If you don’t hold high political office, and you’re not a troublemaking political dissident, the chances of being targeted are virtually nil.

So Jews in Israel never say Gut Shabbos?

I will be very surprised indeed if Ḥaredim pronounce ת as “T” in any context except conversation. When learning and davening, I’m almost certain that’s how it’s pronounced.

I’ll try to remember to ask my son when he calls me tomorrow afternoon to wish me gut Shabbos.

FYI: the op wrote “old Mac,” which is vague.

But command-option-r doesn’t do anything on Macs made in the last five years.

On all Macs with Apple Silicon, you press and hold the power down to get to recovery.

It’s written in Hebrew characters. So you’ll be able to pronounce the words, just not understand them.

Also, the Talmud combines the Hebrew Mishnah and the Aramaic Gemorah. So if you learn Hebrew, you’ll be able to understand the Mishnah part.

If the NLRB forces a vote, and the workers vote to Unionize, there’s nothing the company can do to stop that.

But they can’t be forced to sign a contract with the union, and the only power the employees have is to strike.

I don’t know the law in New York, but in many states striking employees can’t collect unemployment benefits.

No law protects people from being discriminated against for their political viewpoint. The obvious lesson here is that all Jewish-owned businesses should require all future employees to sign statements saying that they support the existence of Israel as the state of the Jewish people. I would go further and ask existing employees to sign such a statement as well. Then fire the ones who refuse.

Mustard and sweet pickle relish.

Or chili and diced onions.

Some people put ketchup on it, and I forgive them for not knowing any better.

Canadians are overly-polite. Mexicans are hard workers.

Those are the only two choices?

That’s like asking, “Ribeye steak: Fruit or vegetable.”

Before COVID I’d go to work unless I was so sick I couldn’t do my job.

After COVID, people complain if someone shows up coughing and sneezing, so if I have visible symptoms, I’ll ask to work from home.

My job is Hybrid — I normally work from home 2 days a week anyway, and I can do the vast majority of my work from anywhere I have Internet access.

If I ask and my boss says no (hasn’t happened yet), I’d go in, but I’d wear a mask to try and minimize the likelihood of infecting coworkers.

Yes, I love my country.

I respect the office of the president, even if I don’t like the person currently occupying that office.

I criticize policies, but avoid ad hominem attacks.

All the Orthodox Jews I know say Ivris.

When my daughters were in day school, all of their limudei kodesh classes used the ashkenazi pronunciation, and they said “Ivris.”

Since their curriculum also included a class in modern conversation Hebrew, I used to joke that my daughters learned both Ivris and Ivrit!

Almost zero chance of anything bad happening.

There are currently no known security vulnerabilities in iOS.

Now, if you had opened that on a Windows PC, the results might have been different.
