this is clearly reductionist. you can inherit that money and then utilize it effectively by donating it without destroying your ability to raise more money for donating. donating all your money means you have no investments to raise more money for donating. governments don't do this, their goal is to spend taxpayer money to make the world a better place, while billionaires can only do the same if they keep an income stream.

I honestly don’t get this arc at all

Yeah that’s still a recruiter. Most 3rd party recruiters make their money from negotiating with a hiring company to bring them candidates.

A. You can see more of the cute owl.

I don’t really care what it’s called, just that the Brits have a habit (is two a habit?) of making up a word, using it until Americans adopt it, and then dropping it and saying “dumb Americans”. Not that that’s actually what happened, as I detail in my comment below, but it sure does feel that way.

You’ve misread the Wikipedia. It states that he didn’t agree but it could possibly be named aluminium. He then proceeded the next year to use aluminum instead. It was then called aluminum and aluminium in Britain for years.

However, in England and Germany Davy's spelling aluminum was initially used; until German chemist Friedrich Wöhler published his account of the Wöhler process in 1827 in which he used the spelling aluminium[o], which caused that spelling's largely wholesale adoption in England and Germany, with the exception of a small number of what Richards characterized as "patriotic" English chemists that were "averse to foreign innovations" who occasionally still used aluminum.[139

So for almost twenty years the Brits (and Germans) called it aluminum, not aluminium.

Americans used aluminium until Webster heard aluminum and put that in his dictionary. Then they actually continued to call it aluminium until the 1890s (the Brits still using both at this point). Then there was a swap in that decade

It is decidedly (according to the source you posted and my past research) the Brits fault. They called it aluminum. They used that name for years, and then only later changed it and then acted like the Americans were weird.

So yes and no, but mostly yes, it is the Brits fault.

Yeah I lost count a while ago. It’s probably around 20, maybe less.

The US’s largest “share” of exports to china vs other countries are soybeans and jet engines. China has spent the past decade and a half working to diversify their imports so this exact thing wouldn’t destroy their economy.

What are your issues with Apple currently? Have you turned on Advanced Data Protection? Might not be possible anymore if you’re in the UK, but I’m wondering what reason you think you are being surveilled with the OS you’re currently using? It’s much more likely you’re being surveilled with the programs you are using than the OS, though Microsoft is pretty scummy about it.

in India, there is a religious group that believes/ed bodies should be donated to the sky. they laid out the bodies for the vultures to take them. The entire body would be picked clean in less than a day, going directly back to nature. Sadly most of the vultures are gone now, due to pharmaceuticals. Strangely vultures can consume cyanide and other crazy poisons, but not certain pharmaceuticals that help humans.

depends on your country. https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7909512/

edit: sorry was talking with someone and realized that this isn't as clear as it should be. this isn't a 'moral that most don't agree with' in all countries. like the US.

That took me too long
