comment Shemona Ushloshim - mi yodeya?
Thanks for clarifying. Yes, lashes as befits most generic "don't-do"s in the Torah.

That is, according to R' Yosei.

R' Yosei's view of מלאכה שאינה צריכה לגופה is a separate matter. My reference here was to הבערה ללאו יצאת , the Torah's separate prohibition on burning means it's a generic "don't-do", not a capital sin.

I think Isaac will keep going until the answers thin out for a few days. He's an empiricist.

comment Rabbinic prohibitions among Noachide laws
It appears it's up to each individual Noahide society to determine its guidelines and norms, based on the the 7 laws. I guess Chazal didn't think it was their place to do so.

comment Kashrus Explained
Well said. Big difference between purpose and symbolism. Some of these are things we say today to describe the benefits of kosher today, which may have been different 1000 years ago. E.g. today kosher food keeps us strongly apart from non-Jews, but if you lived in a world where meat was a rarity, this was less of an effect.

comment Shisha Ushloshim - mi yodeya?
I think he meant two "chais" = 2 x 18. Just because "chai" x 2 = "chaim", doesn't mean Gematria("chai") x 2 = Gematria("chaim")

Thanks Alex; I was looking right at the pdf; don't know why I wrote 384 instead of 283.
