I politely disagree, you may know much of what I like and what I follow, but you have no idea of my personality,  which is probably the single biggest character trait of a person that will lead you to deciding whether you would like to spend the rest of your life without them. And personality is able to be seen by having a shabbos meal together, forsure.

How did you get from "knowing someone personally" to "spending your life together"?

The wording of a heter iska is very different and is specifically to make it EXTREMELY difficult to prove.

Indeed. But you still have various witnesses who wouldn't be admissible according to Halacha but accepted in civil law. Relying on their testimony to extract money could be problematic.

I just saw a sticker saying "sometimes you meet someone and from the first moment you know you want to spend the rest of your life without them" and decided to stick it in to my argument, but I agree - it didn't come out right.

Basically, a persons personality is a huge character trait, which tells you much about him, which you can only see if you meet him in person. Hence "knowing someone personally" must include meeting them in person.

Agree to disagree. A) when you know that much about someone, it's pretty personal, even if you're missing their in person personality. B) You can get a pretty good handle on someone's personality by the way they post, and this has been confirmed with people I've met irl after conversing with them online.

I hope not.

So I guess we'll find out if we ever meet

I hope not.

How did your meeting me in person compare to how I am online? I may not be the best example since I do not hide my identity and many people know who I am.

I would say no surprises.
I hope I came across as low key. Just like my online personality.

I do regret not attending DOs and DD seminars in my early DDF days. There's not much more that I like doing than putting faces to names and playing Jewish geography. Though my dislike of awkward social interactions still hasn't changed....

Interesting.

I know an OB's office that has two color markers hanging in the bathroom with a sign that says to write your name (on a urine sample) in x color if you need to signal that you need help.

In an age when a "cheap" digital camera is 20mp, why does a digital clock still look like:
 _     _   _
 _l * l_  l_l
l_  *  _l l_l

Because it's even cheaper perhaps?

What's the mythology behind showing ads on what I just purchased?

The ads are generated by your viewing history, not your purchase history. Not sure why they don't disable certain ads once the item has been purchased, but so be it. I bought a toilet seat once, now amazon thinks I'm serial toilet seat collector.

Well, I've been seeing ads for them so often, I started buying more. Must have 350 or so at this point, I switch them daily.

I hope you are buying the plastic ones.

I've got mostly platic, several wooden, and a couple ceramic. I need counceling. I need TSA.

Oh so that's what those crazies by the airport are, members of Toilet Seaters Anonymous
