The Bible has tons of edits like this, it's fun to spot them—and even more so to guess the intent behind them. Often when a seemingly irrelevant detail (or an entire chapter) is inserted in the middle of a story, that's an edit (although there are also genuine errors). In general, the Bible is not as well put-together as people tend to think. In this case, whoever wrote this wanted to make clear that Judaism does not condone human sacrifice, in contrast to other contemporary religions.

Others (chiefly those who consider the text to be holy) interpret the pronoun change as indicative of an emotional separation between Abraham and his son, as if following these events they don't want to walk together any more.

You're right. In fact, I think the easiest OS to install is probably some sort of Linux distro. But most people don't install their OS. And Windows is shipped built-in on many computers (even though we're starting to see some Linux options as well).

Not as bad, but people interested in Ancient Greece / Rome / classical studies tend to be somewhat conservative. It's (to some extent) the only part of academia which is overtly conservative.

But yeah, you can do a lot worse, that's relatively mild

That would be the (standard) Spanish, right? Catalan, the local language, has it with /s/

But it's very language-dependent. English has established names for many places, so you should probably use those. But some languages just don't, and if you borrow everything, you might as well borrow properly.

It’s not confusing at all, except in the very specific case of nouns referring to people or animals that don’t have gendered variants.

For example, in my language, the word corresponding to “(a) sheep” has a masculine and feminine form, with the feminine used neutrally. Consequently, when seeing “sheep” in English, I assume the feminine and seeing it used with “he” is a bit of cognitive dissonance.

Similarly, most words for human professions are by default masculine.

According to the Bible, yes. Which is most likely not true. Remember that Zionism started as a secular movement, with religious people getting more (very) on board relatively recently

People are very justifiably terrified of Trump. And Kamala is really something new and fresh

Yup, the calf was most likely a regular part of the northern Israel's worship, but not of the southern Judah's. Since most of the Hebrew Bible (Old Testament) is written from a Judean perspective (which makes sense; it survived longer), it treats it as blasphemous, when in reality, to them, it wasn't.

English spelling doesn't match sound, it's about sound

European is (depending on exact dialect) /ˌjoː.ɹəˈpɪ.jan/, so it begins with a consonant. So you don't need "an"

In my country, basically everyone accepts climate change, except perhaps the most conservative and those who already believe in conspiracy theories. What is going on in the US?

Does M3/M4 support AV1 encoding?

You can use negative decibels, right? It's a logarithmic scale
