Lamb is less polluting per calorie than beef is, but worse than most other foods. So "relatively low-impact" is true if the thing it's relative to is farmed beef, but not to potatoes or even chicken

They aren't trying to force "social security" on us, it's an article primarily aimed at an American audience using the term Americans will be familiar with in the headline. The article body calls it the Department for Work and Pensions

Your cat example works because it shows an example that is ambiguous in English but not in German. Zezhin's example was showing something that wasn't ambiguous in English, a language with no noun class distinctions outside of referring to things by their actual gender, so there's no benefit to having more general noun classes in that example
Pretty sure that OP is referring to noun class systems. English doesn't use one, but most other European languages do and English used to. Like German's three equivalents to English's "the": der, die, and das, which German changes depending on the noun class ("grammatical gender") of the noun in question regardless of its actual gender or whether it even has one
These bits of grammar don't always actually communicate any extra information about anything other than the grammar of the language you're speaking, though. The "gender" of the thing in question can't reliably be distinguished from grammar since even in the Indo-European languages where the noun classes are typically thought of as masculine or feminine, the word's grammatical gender can contradict its actual gender. The Old English word for "woman", back when English had grammatical gender, was masculine.
While I don't actually know a goddamn thing about the history of this, that doesn't seem to work too well once you look at more languages. While a male/female or male/female/neuter system is common in Indo-European languages, other language groups use versions that have more distinctions and haven't traditionally been associated with gender. Most languages in the Atlantic-Congo group that a lot of the southern half of Africa speaks have between ten and twenty different categories of noun in that sense. That's why they're more formally called "noun classes" rather than "grammatical genders"

The original is not a roguelike, although it has some elements in common. You go into a procedurally-generated series of caves in a team of 1-4, shoot a bunch of bugs, mine a bunch of rocks, and complete the mission and return to base after ~30 minutes. You can use what you got in the mission to buy permanent upgrades for the four classes. The only penalty to dying and failing the mission is that you don't get much of a reward from that specific mission
There are several deals he made that are, in the findings of the case, considered to have been facilitated by fraud. Since any income from these deals is therefore considered to be "ill-gotten gains", the full income from them is the amount in question here. So it's like, he defrauded people in order to sell $355m of property so he loses the income generated by that fraud
