I was joking. You hadn't washed yet, though? (I personally was in no condition to be asking halachic shailos on DDF.)

It's a technicality that he wouldn't be able to hear megilah otherwise so we let him go to shul, but not that it changes if it's considered a regular shiva day or not

[a mirrer]

BTW if you can go to shul that already shows not a regular Shiva day, no?

being allowed to go to shul doesn't prove that its not a regular day of aveilus because an avel is allowed to go to shul on erev rosh hashana for shacharis because the slichos are long

On Purim and Shushan Purim there is no aveilus befarhesya.
No torn clothes. No low chairs. Leather shoes etc.
(If levaya is on Purim or Shushan Purim the avel changes into non torn clothes immediately after levaya, as on chol hamoed)
However, with the exception of going to hear the meggilah, the ovel is to stay at home.
This is all true for Ashkenazim.
Sefardi rabanim tend to pasken likewise because the mechaber, though he is machmir in hil Purim, is mekal in hil avelus (siman 401). Therefore the Kula is Mishna achrona + halacha kdivrei hamekal beavelus.

If I see a ant swimming in a toilet on shabbos, is it assur to flush?

I would think...probably a פסק״ר and may even be ניחא ליה

Made order from glat gourmet.

The outside of the boxes is sealed using KCL tape (- which in itself is very strange, because afaik KCL does not certify the entire store. Secondly, it means that KCL tape is flying around the store unsupervised).
The meat inside the box was not in another taped and sealed bag (as is customary in other stores). It was just in a lose open shopping bag. The meat was in a regular meat package without any real seal. Just a removable sticker wich also had KCL on it.

Is the meat kosher?

[aygart]

I don't see why it is worse on the box. Either one we should say lo torach lizyufi. A chosam does not need to be impossible to forge. Only a pain.

the Re"ma (y"d 118:2) says that if it's not nehene bchilufo it's muttar (although he says it in a case where the siman was tampered with,which may have been a smaller chiddush,  the poskim seem to apply it equally where there is no adequate siman (avnei nezer- i'll look up the exact siman )

but strictly speaking you need a chosam bisoach chosam though this might sound like the go'ans version of maftei'ach vchosam . (If the tape is hefker by goyim then it might be worthless)

if someone orders chometz (for free) before pesach and it may come to his door on pesach is that muttar (when it comes to the door)? maybe you could have daas not to be koneh because you never did any kinyan even kesef?

If you ordered it,  it possibly becomes yours when they put it in the box for you.  Better shaila,  getting a gift basket from a goy on pesach.

I remember how, when I was growing up, one year the entire Monsey received an unsolicited free sample of some new type of Cheerios on the first day of Yom Tov.

Did anyone get a psak that buying vgc for ms is mutar on chol hamoed? Whether for staples deal, freedom this quarter, for spend thresholds, or general ms?

Is it an issue for women to shoot a gun at a gun range? (Is it an issue of בגדי איש)

My LOR told me it's not, because it's not levisha. Carrying would be a different story.
