Despite what Benjamin says, there is such a thing as too much insight into one's health.

I would +1000000 that statement, especially in today's age of CYA medicine.

Is this slave labor?
"Starting this week, 7 million employees are guaranteed 1,800 bolivars a month -- worth about $20 at the black-market rate."

No. It’s a raise.

Depends what they can buy for that. These are the effects of socialism.

What's the question?
Parve cholent isn't fit for a dog to eat

Which is why it is so widely sold.

ETA:

Interesting that the Poskim with Chassidishe background seem to all side with Pareve Cholent being fit to be called Cholent, while those of non-Chassidishe background didn't necessarily think so.

@Dan are you sure you always had Chassidishe education?

Quote

הגאונים רבי מנדל שפרן ורבי משה שאול קליין הסכימו שהקבלה היא קבלה גמורה וחלה על טשולנט פרווה כמו על בשרי.

הגאונים רבי שמואל אליעזר שטרן ורבי נפתלי נוסבוים אמרו שצריך לברר מה נקרא טשולנט בלשון בני אדם.

הגאון רבי יצחק זילברשטיין אמר שלא תמיד יש לילך אחר לשון בני אדם, וזה באמת שאלת בית דין במי שנתחייב לחברו להכין לו טשולנט - אם חייב להכין עם בשר.

הגאון רבי מרדכי גרוס אמר כי טשולנט הוא רק טשולנט בשרי, ומותר לשואל לאכול טשולנט פרווה ללא התרת נדרים.

Why is Bud Light so widely sold when it tastes like...?

Nope, I went to a Litvak school until I was 13.
