comment Is it permitted to jay-walk on Shabbos if there is an automatic walk signal at the corner?
I think you have two questions here. 1)Is jaywalking permissible specifically on Shabbath for those who hold that it is not permissible during the week? 2)For those who hold that jaywalking (on whatever day) is permissible, is it permissible even if a non-jaywalking option is not only available to me, but even automated for my convenience?

You're absolutely right. Your answer is neither cheap, nor very creative, but it is rather straightforward and practical. +1

comment Does halacha permit a Jew to practice Islam simultaneously?
@Ali The question was locked because you don't know when to quit. You asked a question. I answered it. Changing the question because you don't like the answer is bad form. If you have a different question, one that is not a differently worded dupe of this one, you are welcome to ask it.

In this video Rabbi David Bar-Hayim, head of Machon Shilo, asserts exactly this version of events.

comment Does an unnecessary brocho pesucha on Hallel necessitate a brocho siyuma?
I concur with @Fred. It may be that, if the Berachah is unnecessary, the Halachah is not to recite the closing Berachah, though what is done in the past (a moment ago, when the opening Berachah was recited out of habit) is done; on the other hand, if one does not recite the Berachah MiSafek, then the Halachah might (emphasis on might) be different.

Does your question only apply to Hallel, or to other inadvertently started opening blessings? Do you know the Halachah in other cases, and do you have reason to assume it would be different for Hallel?

@Yehoshua have you looked into it deeper? I'm curious what you've found so far.

comment Why would somebody become a nazir?
What @fred said. Essentially, your first guess, more or less. If people feel a need for spiritual elevation beyond what they get by performing the other Mitzvoth, this is the Torah-prescribed way.
