I use the metric system for both, and I’m from the UK. I don’t even know my weight in stone anymore, but a stone is just 14 pounds, like how 16 ounces fit into a pound. It has about as much to do with a real stone as a foot in distance has to do with the foot on your leg. Or a metre with a parking meter.
I’ve been on Reddit for over a decade. But I’m done with that site and want to do something else. What do normal people look at on their phones? Is it all social media? Streaming?
Better to think of natural capital and human labour being the two sources from which all value (in the sense of productivity) is ultimately derived. The soil is natural capital, the fertiliser is both (i.e. a mined and processed mineral resource), the rotation is human labour. Then the knowledge to reproduce this process in the correct manner is also critical.
Apparently this is largely a myth, somebody did try it on a single occasion but it doesn’t actually work to spread smallpox. That guy was clearly an arsehole, but yeah, apparently it wasn’t a thing. I don’t know how important this is given the near total genocide of the Native Americans, but it’s funny how some things become “common knowledge” and some things never really get out. Soap made of Jews is another one - it was apparently an urban legend at the time due to the letters written on the rationed bars of soap. Again, more than enough evil to go around without the soap. It does seem that one insane commandants wife collected people’s tattooed skin and likely did make a lampshade out of human skin. People say that didn’t happen, but there’s a pretty convincing photograph out there of all the seized items at one camp. Can’t remember why I started talking about this, think I was trying to distract myself from a stomachache.
Yes, but that’s a different word. I just don’t feel it’s good enough. If they’d said something about having all your Basques in one exit, then we’d be onto something.

If the human body didn't heal itself, how'd you be doing rn?
Your body doesn’t heal itself. Cuts need stitches that must be permanent. Bones need to be screwed together even if just cracked. How you doing?
