LMS - Last Man Standing.. Not FMS (First Man Standing) - This game is for night time only, not morning, afternoon, or evening.. NIGHT TIME ONLY!!

At night while most of the world is sleeping there are some members which are looking to socialize since they have no one else to speak to; they play a really exciting and fun game which basically every couple minutes you write a comment, the comments range from standing to sleeping, from young grasshoppers to old grasshoppers. it usually begins around 1:00 am EDT

RULES OF THE GAME:

1) Game starts at 1am Eastern, 12am Central, 11pm mountain, 10pm pacific... You get the point.
2) Anyone can call a roll call, just make a reply with "Roll Call". The roll call must be readable to the naked eye.
3) No more than one roll call every thirty minutes.
4) You have 30 minutes to respond to the roll call to stay active.
5) To respond to a roll call just post a reply with "Here" or "y y y"
6) If after one hour there are no more "Roll Calls" or "Heres", then the last person to post correctly either by calling a roll call or with a reply of "here" is declared winner of LMS.
7)You must have been awake for at least 12 hours before making or answering a RC.



OR IN SHORT:

When someone calls for a roll call. No more than one every 30 minutes and you have 30 minutes to respond "Here".

Clapping for music makes sense but for applause is weird. I searched a bit online it doesn't seem like there's a known origin for it.

Quick fix: be a shtikel Lubavitcher and sing a niggun after each segment of the "farbrengen." Any clapping can be attributed to the song, and the song itself can be a way of expressing appreciation for what was just said.

You're right. There's no such thing as a "shtikel" Lubavitcher. And since we're all Lubavitchers already....

Was reminded of this screenshot over Shabbos.


Erev Shabbos someone borrowed my computer for a few minutes and when returning it to its sleeve, neglected to shut it off. I'm a control freak regarding my computers, and I have it set to never shut down or even sleep without me asking it too, so it stayed on in the sleeve. Forensic investigating determined that the computer stayed on for 27 hours :o before it ran out of battery power and shut down. Pretty good considering that I only charge it to 85%.

My teachers were much more creative:

"In consideration of the learning environment's harmonious orchestration, and acknowledging the paramount importance of maintaining an atmosphere conducive to the acquisition of knowledge, it is with resolute determination and unyielding commitment that I hereby affirm my staunch avowal to refrain from vocalizing any form of verbal communication during the pedagogical proceedings, thereby adhering to the prescribed decorum and upholding the sanctity of the instructional setting in accordance with the established norms and expectations. Ergo, it is my firm and unwavering resolution that I shall abstain from engaging in any dialogic discourse or spoken interaction within the classroom milieu, thereby ensuring the undisturbed concentration and uninterrupted assimilation of information by my esteemed peers and myself."

DS: Do you want to start a chavrusa with me learning something the Rebbe encouraged, starting Friday? It could be anywhere between 20 minutes to over an hour a day.
Me: Definitely!
DS: It's daf yomi yerushalmi. Starting shviis on Friday.
Me: 🤦🏼‍♂️

(silly me should have guessed in advance, when I saw that a set of Yerushalmi was delivered to our house last week).

We had Harav Hagaon Chacham Yitzchak Yosef speak at one of the shul siyumim. He started plugging learning Yerushalmi, saying (translated),
"We you learn a sugya, you are makpid to see all the reid on the sugya. You have to see what the Rashba says, what Rabbi Akiva Eiger says... Nu, and not what Rabbi Yochanan had to say?!"
You gotta admit he has a point...  :D

There are some surprisingly BAD prices on Woot's computer-related sale. I certainly didn't see anything I couldn't match for better specs and money, even new compared to their refurbs.
