@Robusto well, last night I actually discovered a video on their channel where the player discusses the piece. It's only 5 minutes, and he only touches on legato markings very briefly, but it's an interesting watch.
@RegDwigнt I am hiking this week and will look when I get home. I did want to address dynamics with you, which are virtually nonexistent on the baroque flute, but conspicuous in their absence. The repeated lines sound strange without the customary terrace dynamics.
Is there any verb for making a girl more girly? is closed, but I am having difficulty placing my finger on just why that is. I am not suggesting that it is a great question, but it does seem to meet the bare minimum requisites of the website.

I could cast the fifth and final vote to re-open it now, but I am withholding it for now, since I'm legitimately seeking some feedback and nobody provided an answer to my meta-question yet. Does anybody have any objections?
Personally with poetry, like lyrics, I blank out on meaning. I'm spending most of my time checking that the rhyme works out.
Only years later I finally sort through all the words and singing the mindless lyrics out loud do I realize that OMG was that what they were talking about? Walk on the Wild Side I thought was about going on a long car ride and having fun, eating soul food and going to a show at the Apollo.
@M.A.R.ಠ_ಠ right above Faerd's wiki link about The Israeli New Historians.
@CowperKettle You probably shouldn't given the reaction on Literature. They may be uptight, but if they think it's bad, then at least you have a hint that maybe not appropriate everywhere.
ELU (and SE) has a 'think of others' trend. and since the poem's subject matter is a bit objectifying of a particular woman, it might not be appropriate here. Elsewhere, go wild. But here, probably not.
@M.A.R.ಠ_ಠ Is Bob Ross the painter with the frizzy afro?
This site makes the claim, and thus proposes that actual good ideas from Soviet Scientists, like the Primordial Soup theory should be discounted.

@M.A.R.ಠ_ಠ I find that a bit extreme. I'm not sure how those numbers are calculated. I think it would be a good question for you to ask at Skeptics.SE.
@Mitch IIRC actually the study that made that claim (or some medical news channel, I forgot) also mentioned roughly that the microbiome's 'welfare' does affect some mental stuff.
All sorts of stuff in the rest of the body affect mental status directly (hormones eg). But yes, the gut doing so is not expected, and aliens in our gut even moreso.
But frankly, how weird do things get when you take an antibiotic that kills everything in your gut? I mean weird other than the bathroom frequency.
@M.A.R.ಠ_ಠ I read it. It's just repeating claims. It sounds like horseshit to me. There's no attempt to address the obvious that it seems like there is quite a bit of human and the non-human is pretty invisible. If the non-human is going to have a high cell-count, those cells have to be extremely small in comparison to human cells.
No, we do not.
Although this figure is widely cited (as per Oliver_C's answer), it is based on rather old data (paywalled, unfortunately), and these estimates are now thought to be inaccurate. A recent estimate by Sender, Fuchs, and Milo puts it at a close to one-to-one ratio of human to microbi...
@Cerberus Heheh. Speaking of Portuguese, I've just been thinking, do you know where has tchrist been lately, if that is not too prying? It seems strange not to be able to ping such a regular fixture in chat.
