One wonders how many of the bank shares will be purchased by Rothschilds, and how much profit they stand to make having advised the government that now is the time to sell.

For several of those I am neither type of person (e.g. a person who watches Game of Thrones or a person with a smartphone).

Likewise.

I'm having Supidity Problems in following that "Fermented Food" article. I _think_ it says that eating lots of kimchi would be good for you (though it's possibly not good for those us who are semi-allergic to hot spices). But hey! does wine count as "fermented food"? If so... Great. And I'll also go along with saurkraut in mashed potatoes, as well as various Japanese pickles.

Some fermented foods are still 'live' containing viable microbes, e.g. Lactobaccilus yoghurts that can contribute to your gut microbial population, but some are sterilized. So does the study distinguish between the two?

Not all fermented foods are the same either, does the study compare them? Because wine is not beer is not kimchi is not chocolate is not sauerkraut, and so on.

My response, though it supposedly went through, has not been posted.

No, the cite was to an Abstract which had pitifully few details & a pay-wall. My guess is that tinned/bottled (except maybe for corked wine) or sterilized/pasturized items are strictly for taste purposes. Here in Southern California, bulk/live fermentation things are sufficiently common at Chinese, Japanese, & Korean markets that I consider it a no-nevermind thing.

Huh?! No society with which I interact gives a shit about a woman's virginity, unless she complains that it was taken from her without her permission... in which case we'd tromp on the miscreant.

I have a difficult time imagining many people in today's world taking any other approach.
