what is the probability of it happening? does it prove the God of Judaism?

i will summarize it and propose an estimation

>rabbi has a bill every once a month, he was still living in NY
>rabbi's wife informs rabbi they need exactly 6,000 dollars by the next day (last day to pay the bill)
>there's zero dollars in the bank
>rabbi says that's God's problem, starts a conversation
>says "He brought us this far for what? to destroy us?"
>immediately after this sentence
>rabbis gets an unidentified phone call
>it's someone he lended 5,000 dollars 8 years ago and disappeared, says he's sorry and wants to pay him back
>rabbi gives bank account
>an hour later, rabbi gets a deposit of exactly 6,000 dollars
>rabbi calls asking if the guy made a mistake (jews cant take interest on other jews)
>guy says it's 5,000 he owned plus 1,000 present for the lectures

at best the chance is 1/2921 just choosing random days in 8 years (not counting lending day), but when you add the restriction of one day before the bill (only 1 out every 30 meet the constraint), the chance is 1/87630. you also need to multiply this by the chance of the guy donating 1,000 dollars on top of the change of giving the full 5,000, for simplification purposes i would say the chance of giving 5,000 (instead of 2,000 that day and 3,000 new week for example) is 1/5 and the chance of giving 1,000 on top is 1/2 (due to traditional tzedakah being only at most 20% of your earnings, assuming only 5,000 were eaned that period).

Final simplified estimation is 1/876300. The chance should be even lower but i don't know the rate the rabbi picks up the phone if the calls are unidentified.

Serious Q&A about the vaccines

No.14233067 ViewReplyOriginalReport
There's a lot of angry misinformation going around on both sides about this vaccine. Perhaps we can have a serious Q&A thread. In this thread we simply ask questions and answer them. We don't try to explicitly say whether the vaccines are safe and effective, or whether they do or don't cause cancer or Aids or anything.

Il'l start:

1) Why do the vaccines have waning efficiency? We know the flu shot has waning efficiency because it mutates quickly enough that your body can't recognise next years virus even though it's immune against this years virus. Is that the case with COVID?

2) Are the 2 shots and the booster, chemically different from each other in any way? or is it 3 spaced exposures to the exact same substance?

Bloodborne diseases phobia

No.14235012 ViewReplyOriginalReport
I found more scratches on my body, this time on my leg three curved scratches that apparently have some time because they are somewhat healing now, I had no idea I had these, I think I've had no contact with any animal that could have scratched me like this, and there's the scratch on my hand
What's going on? Do I make these when I'm not aware, have I forgotten something?
I think it could be some furniture a very sharp edge exposed that would make sense, I will try to cause myself a scratch with it
I TRIED THAT, and woke up this morning, no scratches, this is from something else
Could it be rabies that I don't know th eorigin of? itching on the leg?

Are boys just girls with modifications? Boys have nipples (though non functioning) like girls do and buttocks like girls do.

As far as I know as a brainlet when the earth's climate is colder than average it rains less and deserts grow and onthe other hand when it's warmer the climate is wetter. Then why current anthropogenic climate change models predict it's going to rain a lot less in areas like the Mediterranean even to the point of desertification risk? Will all the rain fall in the places that are already rainy now or what? Why? Is this solid science?
