Jewish fanaticism.

If someone can help me with a science equation, I'd be most appreciative. It is from "Open Study" which may not even be an Orthodox Jewish set of courses:

"A 230.0-mL sample of a 0.275 M solution is left on a hot plate overnight; the following morning the solution is 1.51M. What volume of solvent has evaporated from the 0.275 M solution?"

this assumes that the hot plate is left on, I think. So it must be Jewish. Why else would any one leave anything on overnight?

It's true. Without religious fanaticism also leads, there would actually be no way to empirically prove the results of such a test. Thank G-d for religious fanaticism!

Because of your religious laws, do you recommend other orthodox jews leave hot plates on overnight so their poor children can have a hot meal on freezing weather???
I was just reading the manual for a hotplate which says "If your job runs overnight, be sure to take it off before 9am next day." I guess there are other reasons to leave it on overnight.

------------and another------------

"Cover with a watch glass and reflux on a hot plate overnight (8-12 hours) at low heat (70-80 C)."

Non sequitur.

WAS A hot plate left on to follow regional orthodox religious laws? yes or no


You denial and flat refusal to answer, yes or no, is noted.
Calling it a non sequitur doesn't mean it is a non sequitur. You are creating a false binary. I have exposed the false binary but you keep holding tight to it. It's a rhetorical flaw. Deal with it.

Poor children only wanted a hot meal in freezing conditions. They are dead now because of religion, and you think its a game.

I hope your enjoying dancing around religious fanaticism in light of others nightmare.

A hot plate was factually left on to follow a regional orthodox religious law or custom.
Actually the hot plate was not left on in order to follow regional orthodox religious law or custom.

There is no regional orthodox religious law or custom requiring use of a hot plate or other heat producing element. This is merely a practical method of heating up food without desecrating the regional orthodox religious law or custom to not create fire on the Sabbath. A slow cooker, or indeed eating cold turkey sandwiches would have been other permissible methods.

I assume by regional here we are referring to the region of Earth.

That is how you slip in a selected cause in order to explain the action. How about "A hot plate was left on and caused a fire"? Is that no good because it doesn't blame religion? Had the hot plate been left on for any other reason (as I have shown, other reasons exist) would you still have worked to blame religion?

If X happens and Y is part of the fact pattern but y prime and double prime could have replaced Y in the original fact pattern and the result would be the same, then isolating Y as the necessary and singular cause is purely agenda driven.

I am reminded of the scene in Apollo 13 where one guy churns the tanks and the short develops. If any of the guys had hit the switch the short would have developed, but HE flipped the switch in that instance. You would not be able to get past blaming him.

Electricity on Shabbat - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


Many Jews who strictly observe Shabbat (the Sabbath), especially within Orthodox Judaism, refrain from what is considered turning electricity on or off during Shabbat. They may also refrain from making adjustments to the intensity of electrical appliances. Various rabbinical authorities have pronounced on what is permitted and what is not, but there are many disagreements in detailed interpretation, both between different individual authorities and between branches of Judaism



So your bringing up the fact jews don't agree with one another on this. ya we know.

Probably because he was following regional orthodox religious law or custom in his flipping of that switch.

I did not say, what you think I said.

This doesn't surprise me, mind you. But it may be an important fact.

And I guess a crock-pot that I have left on over-night must also be a by-product of my "Jewish fanaticism". And the fact that last winter I bent my rim after hitting a pot-hole when returning from services must also be a by-product of my "Jewish fanaticism". Wow, I never quite looked at it that way. How could I possibly have missed the obvious?

But now I'm confused because I belong to a Reform Judaism congregation but am more liberal than most even there. I have to admit that I've never been accused of "Jewish fanaticism", but I must obviously be one according to the OP.
