What are they using Helium for? It's a noble gass and doesn't react with anything.
Second question something I've always wondered, since Helium is lighter than air, how is it gathered and from where?
I’ve given up trying to be calm. However, I am open to feeling slightly less agitated.
I’m begging you for the benefit of everyone, don’t be STUPID.

There is a limited supply from what I've heard. It's basically generated underground from radiation (alpha particle + electrons) and found in natural gas deposits.
As for what they're using it for? dunno. They're Boeing. They probably couldn't get enough Hydrogen to create a Hindenburg 2.0.

They did, but it leaked

SLS uses Hydrogen for fuel. It's so hard to work with that it took NASA six months to fuel the first SLS rocket.

The SLS is a collection of the worst ideas that Boeing and LM could think of, isn't it? Not even reusing the Shuttle boosters can help them get it up.

Yes it is. Even the concept of reusing the shuttles SRBs didn't really work out as they had to completely reengineer them. NASA would have been better off to clean sheet the SLS.

I'm more concerned about the design flaw they just found that could prevent Starliner from successfully reorienting itself for reentry.

I'm very certain releasing the source won't result in a plethora of hacks targeting it.

Would you use Copilot if Microsoft started integrating it into messaging apps such as WhatsApp, Telegram, or Messenger? Microsoft seems to think so. Chat in a chat application? Brilliant!

Read the Terms and Conditions. They presumably say that one has been granted a non-exclusive, non-transferrable licence to play the game. You do not actually own it, and your licence to play it may be revoked at any time.
Ditto for most other online stuff. This is why I prefer going to the extra effort and expense of buying physical copies.
