comment What's the story with “undershirt Tzitzis”?
The question is whether Chabad-Lubavitch would use them, based on the Siddur of the 1st Lubavitcher Rebbe. Non-Lubavitchers would take other considerations into account, such as the leniency in Shulchan Aruch HaRav.

Eh it all depends how you do the math. Let me say "it's between 12 and 24 bushels", that should cover it I think.

1 chomer + 1 lesech = 45 se'ah is almost exactly 18 bushels, by the way.

comment Is a Cohen Allowed to Perform CPR?
If I understand correctly, the distinction is whether brain death is enough, or we ALSO need to wait for heart-death. Someone with a live brain but unbeating heart (who will only stay that way for a few minutes) is a different question. Regardless, there's a Tosfos (don't recall where) that observes that Eliyahu HaNavi performed a techiyas hameisim -- wasn't Eliyahu a cohen and thus prohibited from touching a corpse? Answer -- pikuach nefesh. Even though the child was already "dead", he was in danger of staying that way!
