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.

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

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

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.

I've been telling this story to people for over a decade. Go back to the 2010 versions of Windows, Office, and Visual Studio. These were the last versions to actually use color - everything else has been 50 shades of grey.
