I was looking for lists of aged cheeses, and I noticed a lot of the lists are collected for Kosher purposes

I looked into it a bit and left confused

>>>

is aged cheese important for kosher?

It is the position of the OU's poskim (halachic authorities) that one need only wait between eating aged cheese and meat if the cheese is of a variety that is intentionally aged in production, such as Parmesan (must be aged in production at least 10 months) and Emmental (much be aged in production at least 6 months) [seems to me it should say "need *not* wait" instead of "need *only* wait" but what do I know?]

Why is cheddar cheese not kosher?

The cheese is not kosher unless a jew oversaw the addition of the rennet. Even if one knows the cheese maker buys only microbial rennet, or one has a contractual agreement with the cheese maker, by decree, it is not kosher unless someone actually watches the making of the cheese via the addition of the rennet.

What makes cheese kosher?

It has to come from the milk of kosher animals and cannot include natural rennet (keivas neveilah); Rennet is the enzyme that separates the milk's casein protein and fat and is a vital ingredient in traditional hard cheeses. [!!!!] [this and the one above seem to contradict each other]

What is Rennet and Why Do You Need it?

https://theartofcheese.com › what-is-rennet-and-why-do...
Apr 25, 2022 — Rennet is made of enzymes that are found in the lining of un-weened mammal stomachs, usually from a cow (calf), sheep (lamb) or goat (kid).
__

why use rennet in cheese?

Rennet is the general name for enzymes that act on proteins in milk. It's purpose in a ruminant's stomach is to curdle milk for easier digestion, the same way it curdled our shepherd's drink. Rennet serves the same purpose in cheesemaking: it triggers coagulation.

Demystifying rennet, a key ingredient in cheesemaking
__

Can Jews eat rennet?

The primary consideration involves the prohibition of mixing meat with dairy. Due to this guideline, cheeses mixed with meat or meat products cannot be considered Kosher. Although rennet can be obtained from animal sources, the enzyme does not qualify as meat and can, therefore, be used to make kosher cheeses.

some youtube videos showed up in feed about US WWII equipment that the GIs didn't like

got me thinking about US uniforms then. Sgt Rock comic books, when I was a kid. showed him with torn uniforms all the time. I was told by people who would know that our uniforms in fact did not hold up well, and it was accurate to show that.

but this is a case of coming up blank by googling ... nothing comes up, so was it true or not?



I can't make out what that is in the foreground

It’s also one of the easiest to fix. Unless your boxer is a really bad actor.

I'm experimenting with Live Betting, which I believe poses certain vulnerabliities to the sportsbook. I'll probably start posting about it in the 'chatter' thread at WoV.

googling mostly brings up this kind of stuff

Is Live betting good or bad?

The biggest advantage of live betting is the increased likelihood of receiving greater odds than if you were pre-match betting. Live odds favor bettors more than pre-match odds and sports knowledge makes it easier to beat the data-driven odds.

the books have many things they can do to protect themselves. In particular, in MLB for example, they often shut off betting around the 7th inning, certainly the 8th often, not to come back at all. But as the above notes, your pre-game bet is only going to win so much, while depending on what might develop, you might have a shot at bigger winnings. You can also often set up minimal guaranteed wins when things look too dicey .

so one of my main concerns with Kamala is her embracement of social Equity. When Liberals talk of this, they aren't just using another name for 'Equality'. It's being soft-pedaled by [not just] her, while potentially it's pure Marxism. You have to ask "so how do we do that?" [emphasis mine below]

>>>

What is equity instead of equality?

Equity and equality are different concepts. 2. Equity means everyone is provided specific resources they need to be successful. 3. Equality means everyone is treated the same exact way, regardless of differences and specific needs.

What is the difference between equal solution and equitable solution?

Equality means each individual or group of people is given the same resources or opportunities. Equity recognizes that each person has different circumstances and allocates the exact resources and opportunities needed to reach an equal outcome [equal outcome advocacy is very problematic]

[bottom line: these advocates need to specifically say what they have in mind. It can be just banal lip-service, but I think they plan income redistribution but won't say so. ]

came across Yegg in book "Killers of the Flower Moon"
__

Why is a safe cracker called a yegg?

The word “yegg” soon came to mean a burglar or a safecracker, a usage that's also of uncertain origin, though there are several theories about its orgin. The most common suggestion is that this slang usage is derived from John Yegg, the alias of a bank robber in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
