That's not how this works. 我 in 鹅 is a phonetic particle, implying yi, (y)e or wo pronunciation (like in 義/义, 俄 and 哦 respectively). 鸟 is a semantic particle, indicating a bird, like in 鳳/凤, 鷹/鹰 or 鴨/鸭

I agree, mostly. let OS have a default choice; sure, even make it not uninstallable (as a failsafe so that noone accidentally ends up with no browser whatsoever). but also FORBID them from ever automatically switching back after user makes their choice and FORBID them from prompting the switch in any place in the OS. opt-out is opt-out, not opt-out-but-maybe-will-change-my-mind-at-some-point-or-just-misclick. and this doesn't only go for browser. any "restore microsoft recommended settings" should be fucking banned. if I want to open my PDFs in sumatra, I want it to stay that way and not be prompted to use fucking edge for that. sure, ask my once whether I'm sure about it. but that's it

is it the US?

are bank transfers nonexistant where you live? how would they expect an 80-yo patient to pay?

of course there is.

so does bike sharing in my city (Warsaw, Poland), but you can alternatively call a hotline and rent via dialer menu or simply by talking to a consultant.

what sort of bill?
