    No. The Latin ending -ium designates that something comes from a place. Like, magnesium was originally found in Magnesia. Aluminia is not a place. It’s name is derived from the Latin word ‘alumen’ for aluminum oxide.

    This is what happens when you let people read the Bible in English.


  • Yes! First time I had hot pot was with a couple of exchange students. This was one of their dipping sauce ingredients. I’ve never been able to find it on my own. What’s it called? I’d take a shot at making it myself. Also, what’s the red stuff that goes in the sauce? I thought it was maybe fermented tofu. I’m pretty sure I’ve found that, but all of it has weird food coloring in it. I find I have to keep a lot of chemicals out of my food.












  • You know, it’s kind of like this with land. Laws around Adverse Possession (Squatter’s Rights) are basically the legal framework for taking possession of land when someone has so much land or are so absentee that you can use it without them noticing. Generally, if you you can use their land openly and they don’t challenge you, after a set period it’s yours.

    Don’t know how this would work with money, but it’s interesting that you can legally take someone’s property if they have too much to manage it properly and you need it.
