I want learn this power, but can't afford the price.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure it was

I have an official USB pet rock I got from a thinkgeek back in the day. Has a little box with air holes and everything.

Exactly as functional as the original pet rock, but has a short USB cable attached.

My parents both didn't swear (at least not where I could hear them) so I simply never picked up the habit. I can swear if I make a conscious effort to do so, but generally only find reason to if I am quoting someone or something. And even that feels awkward to me.

As for expressing myself, I don't believe I have much trouble in that regard. There are a ton of other words available and ways to arrange them. And if I truly need to express anguish, rage, etc. there is always yelling or screaming.

We tried to.
Called it cancelling.

Primaries are still subject to spoiler effects and such.

In my very blue state this year where the top two in the primary go on to the general, there was a local position which had a whole bunch of well qualified Democrats vs just a couple of Republicans. (Incumbent not running)

The dem vote was split enough that we very nearly had just the two Republicans in the general. Like less than 60 votes away.

Oh. That makes a lot more sense than what I was thinking.

Like so many people answering this, my height.

In my case it contrasts with my wife's height - I'm half a yard (nearly half a meter) taller than she is.

Genshin has a 7 elements system that partially does what you describe: Wood (or anything made of or affected by dendro) burns when exposed to fire (pyro), fire melts ice (cryo) and vaporizes water (hydro), water conducts (well, causes a damage reaction with) electricity (electro), etc. The outliers are stone (geo) which makes forcefield shields with some of the other elements, and air (anemo) which swirls up and spreads and reacts together some of the other elements.

It's desktop only, and from 2008.

Yes it is, and because of who owns it, I would even prefer that to an unsandboxed closed source native binary.

Boost does not open them when tapped, flashing an error instead.

NewPipe at least already doesn't use the API, it scrapes the website.

... Which it just occurred to me might be one of the reasons Google is pushing that web integrity thing. Dang.

There are unfortunately some subreddits which are still the best place to find timely info about certain topics - for example video game subs run by the developers of the game. Lemmit is a way to subscribe to those while not giving Reddit any more "engagement" or ad views.

The bot that runs Lemmit only posts on its own instance, so users like me only see it when we subscribe explicitly (or the All view I guess, but that's a mixed bag already. Edit: and each user could choose to ban it if they want)
