I don't think most people would decide to go or not to go somewhere based on the Nussach of the minyan alone. I've never heard of a Posek insisting on that. I'd be happy to see a source that says differently.

Not to mention that if one is concerned about potential Halachic issue, the lack of a real Tzeis for Motzei Shabbos is probably a more significant Halachic concern than whether the Shat"z will say Hodu before or after Baruch SheAmar.

Why don’t we just go to the North Pole where we can skip shabbos and fasting almost completely

Is the next trip going to be this: https://www.polarcruises.com/antarctica/destinations/south-pole-land-based
Or this: https://www.polarcruises.com/arctic/destinations/north-pole

This actually seems fun: https://antarctic-logistics.com/trip/ski-last-degree/

Can anyone help me book a mileage trip? I am trying to identify business class awards. Particularly anyone know how to get Aerolineas Argentinas miles? They don't seem to share the business class availability with partners? I see other options with other airlines but I would love to get a single long hawl from JFK to EZE.

United and American have direct NYC-EZE flights as well.

Considering
“It is believed to be the first time a man has been charged with attempted murder in Antarctica”
I’d say it’s safe. But just to be safe don’t tell SF or Dan the endings of books.

It's amazing how isolation changes people's behavior. Who in their right mind would ruin the ending of books?

OK, @Dan. Let's get this out of the way now:

Snape was actually good.
Beth dies.
Hobbes isn't real.
Jim was actually freed by the Widow Douglas.
Dorothy was dreaming.
It was the mice all along.
Yaakov gets the brachos.

Don't mind him, he's just still upset that he read Harry Potter backwards.

Wait a second, was this whole thing to get people to shell out 30 grand to get to see the end of unfinished TRs?!

chaimmayer · « **Reply #93 on:** October 30, 2018, 12:59:32 PM »

My recollection is that Bill Waterson dealt with the shaila of whether or not Hobbes is real and said he refuses to pasken.
