In defense of Israel, they will stop all construction in Israel if any body/bones are found and it will be an archeological site for a while construction is halted. The response was to essentially destroy the ground during construction so nothing is found. The whole area has lots of history, most just don't care. Nothing personal or special about Gaza.

It also use to be financially out of reach for most people. You can still pay for the nicer experience by paying for faster and easier security and first class seats. It's been made access to more financial groups, and most people choose or can only afford the cheaper option.

Two things can be true.

A type of cheese.

The worst is that insurance companies "cover" things and that's all they can say before anything is done. After, when billed, they can say "we cover 5% of the final bill. See? We covered it." And we have no idea how much we will need to pay for standard necessary procedures.

My understanding is that china is any type of porcelain made in China.

Sort of how scotch is any kind of whisky made in Scotland.

Edit to include sources:

"Porcelain was a Chinese invention and is so identified with China that it is still called "china" in everyday English usage." https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chinese_ceramics#:~:text=The%20first%20pottery%20was%20made,imperial%20court%20and%20for%20export.

"Scotch whisky (Scottish Gaelic: uisge-beatha na h-Alba; Scots: Scots whisky/whiskie, whusk(e)y, pronounced [ˈʍɪski],[1] often simply called whisky or Scotch) is malt whisky or grain whisky (or a blend of the two), made in Scotland." https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scotch_whisky Since whisky is always made of grain, it would be any whisky made in Scotland.

I think this is the more important reason why it failed. Not necessarily either of the titled subjects, but the fact that there are multiple unrelated.

Paywall

I've found some ellipticals at the gym work best for me. I like running outside too but I'm picky about the weather. Indoor biking works for me too sometimes. You should find something you can tolerate though. It's more important to find something that works for you that you are ok with than anything else. If you are more social you can try kickboxing or dance. Rowing machines and swimming are also pretty good workouts. A lot of it depends on what you have available to you, the climate you live in, and what you like.

They are homeless, which means they can't get jobs (which require an address) and they might not be able to get bank accounts (also required for a job, also require an address). Even if they have access to showers and laundry facilities and a place to keep their stuff, they still can't get a job without an address and bank account.

Your parents did something many people do, which is make excuses for why it's ok to not care about others. It's rare for someone to fake it. Most people are not lazy enough to forgo shelter, and when they are it's usually classified as a mental illness or low IQ. There are also many who are down on their luck. They might have not had great upbringings and were not taught the skills needed to organize their lives, or they could have no family left except responsibilities and they couldn't afford (money or time to) college/University. Lower income jobs don't pay enough for someone to live on their own many places.

Please keep having empathy and caring about others. You can't help everyone but you can vote to change policy local or otherwise, and you can donate or volunteer. Everyone deserves kindness.

Hard to protect a child from the gays if the kid is dead.

Check out propranolol, gabapentin, and maybe go back and ask specifically about non addictive options. You deserve to not worry about taking anxiety meds.

Klonopin is a type of benzodiazepine which are a class of drugs that kinda make you out of it, a little high even, or can knock you out. They are ok if you take them a couple times a month and shouldn't be addictive but might not help you perform higher functions (text taking) and are better for social panic or generalized panic where you would otherwise be immobile with fear.

Propanol is a beta-blocker which is a class of drug used to treat high blood pressure. This is not addictive in any way, but will lose effectiveness if taken too frequently. I actually have lower blood pressure most of the time but this still works for me. When I panic I'll have disproportionate reaction from my body, and this calms all the unnecessary reaction. An example is, if someone startles me by walking quietly and then talking to me, I'll have a panic attack. I'm not anxious in the situation and nothing is scary, but I have a very immediate and extensive reaction regardless.

Gabapentin is an anticonvulsant which is a class of drug used to treat unnecessary excitement in the brain. I haven't used this but it's also a good non addictive option.

I've also found that I personally have a large capacity for energy, and anxiety was my body's way of releasing it. I've been able to decrease my anxiety proportional to the amount of cardio I do, up to about an hour and 15 minutes of moderate to intense cardio. Any more cardio and I don't notice a difference in my anxiety levels, any less and I do notice my anxiety more. I'll note that mild cardio doesn't work nearly as well. I usually aim for 400 kcal/hour minimum to get my desired results. Just be sure to have complex carbohydrates in your diet so you can get through the whole thing.

Anxiety isn't necessarily bad. Its a form of energy to get through tough times. The thing is, it's supposed to be temporary, and it's not easy to determine the best action for tough situations. I have also gone through some pretty anxious times, also teeth grinding and meds. Please, be kind to yourself. You made it through and are still going! Look into getting night guards, if you can afford it to to an orthodontist for them and maybe fix any other issues that grinding caused. I'm not sure what meds you have but I would advise panic meds rather than longer term anxiety meds, but maybe sure they are not addictive (some doctors still prescribe xanax, which isn't a class of drug you want). Take panic meds before you go in for dental work, maybe the day before too depending on how you feel. I don't know what life has thrown you, but if you have the option, stop a few times a day and try and listen to your body and what you need. Sometimes it's food, sleep, rest (mental or physical), time to process what life has given you, a shower or bath, etc.

Looks like it changed it once, my bad

Hanukia is pretty specifically a menora for hanukia, so it makes sense to be used in specific situations. Menora refers to replicas/modern day versions of the 7-candle light used in the old temple in Israel. The hanukia was based on it, adding enough for all nights.

I've never celebrated with my havurah where anyone called it a menora, it was always a hanukia. Different groups in different places though, it's interesting to hear other people's experiences for sure.

Did you celebrate hanukah growing up? When was the last time you went to synagogue?

No one ever says "hanukia menora' it's either 'hanukia' referring to the menora used specifically during hanukah or 'menora' which is a bit more genetic, but without further explanation it's usually referring to the one with 7 candles.

Pretty sure that's what people refer to when they say Christian values.

Not fair! It could go septic and kill her instead!
