Does that include ice cream trucks who park outside toddler bedroom windows at bedtime? If yes, do you offer this as a service?

How long do they stay there? I'm referring to people that stay for hours. (and no, I don't have the numbers for the ice cream truck owners, though if you're referring to the Kosher Ice Cream trucks I can probably get the number somehow).

WARNING, This video is all kinds of inappropriate (and probably older than half the members here)

It's not a matter of how long, at 7:30 pm, when you put your kid to sleep and all of a sudden you hear "come and make a bracha, even for "only" 15 minutes, it's enough to make me want to do unspeakable things to Chaim Fogelman.

Don't shoot the messenger

Including the murderers/terrorists/other types of scum in the number of dead.

Forget about the fact that it's confusing - it is just incredibly disrespectful to the victims and their families.

Calling this a Pet Peeve is a gross understatement. There's an agenda behind this, and that agenda should be exposed and fought against.

First reports normally give total, no secret agenda.

It's not just first reports. It's still reported that way in articles published in the days after the shooting. You'll answer that it's SOP, but that's the point - it's a terrible SOP.

I understand but don't shoot the messenger. They should report it separate to begin with.

I understand to some extent the need to lump then in at first. For example, when I was listening to the live stream posted in the JC thread yesterday, which itself was streaming the scanner feed, they said right when they went in that they found 4 DOA (then eventually found a 5th). They didn't confirm that it was the 2 shooters and 3 victims until later. Which is why in the thread you'll see some confusion as to whether there might have been 5 victims.

That's mostly due to genius on whatsapp sending around a list of 5 Jewish names.

Kids shoe sizes

My oldest is an 11, my next is a 9 so I thought my next would be around a 5, turns out the 5 that I got is almost big enough to fit my wife and I should've bought a 5T

. Why can't it just be an increasing number from the beginning instead of stopping at 13 and starting again at 1?!
