When I'm picking out a gift for someone I specifically try to pick something that I think they will like and use but is also reflective of my own personal quirks. I'm a bit more tech and DIY inclined then most of my family (clearly, I'm on Lemmy) so most gifts from me tend to be tools or computer related or electronics. Sometimes that's a miss, sometimes it's a home run and I get them a gift that never would've occurred to them on their own, but they end up using regularly.
The goal is something that fits into their lives while also carrying an element of me that using the gift will remind them of. It's personal, it's meaningful, and it exhibits a degree of thoughtfulness that makes the gift special.
All that said... I'd never turn up my nose at a gift card. I've received many, I've given several. Sometimes you're just not sure. Sometimes a person has everything you'd think of wanting to give them. Sometimes you just don't have the time. Sometimes the entire gift-giving ritual is just too much to deal with.
That's perfectly fine. I will never begrudge someone for choosing a simpler path at a time that's already fraught with expectation and other assorted stress.
Ugh. I wish I got called on more often to read in school. Most kids are just so bad at it.
In hindsight I get that's basically the point and creates opportunities for them to practise and get better, but at the time sitting there listening to a classmate stumble over the word "rhythm" for a good ten seconds was probably one of the most frustrating things in my life at the time. 😛
Additional "fun" fact about lung over-expansion. The pressure difference necessary for it to happen is startlingly small if you, for some insane reason, completely fill your lungs. You can do damage rising single digit numbers of feet.
For whatever insane windows-y reason, having a thumbs.db file on a network share is one of those slower scenarios for me. Which is odd because you'd expect that to be the kind of situation where it's actually useful.
What drives me batty about thumbs.db is that on a modern high end machine with an nvme drive it's not meaningfully faster then just regenerating thumbnails on demand every time, and in fact can be slower under some circumstances. Yet there's no "I don't need this turn it off" option.
Wtf kind of terrible dentist is this person going to that they are leaving with a profusely bleeding mouth to the point where they can spill "a ton" of blood on themselves?
Unless you storm out against medical advice no doctor or dentist is going to discharge you while you're actively losing blood.
Oh, true. It had slipped my mind that see invisibility allowed you to see things that were innately invisible and not just things magically made invisible.
In order for the specific circumstance called out by the disintegrate spell description to be possible it requires a violation of the general case, yes. That is literally the point of the "specific overrides general" rule.
One of two things must be true for disintegrate to be able to destroy a wall of force:
1: The Wall is targetable by disintegrate.
2: Objects on the far side of the wall are targetable by disintegrate and the wall gets in the way.
For "specific overrides general" to hold a DM must rule that one of these is the case, otherwise the extremely specific interaction called out in the disintegrate spell description is impossible.
Of course as DM you can rule that this is not the case and disintegrate does not destroy a wall of force, such is the prerogative of a DM, but I am firmly of the opinion that such a ruling is not RAW.
Even if you don't count desktop applications like VSCode or Discord or whatever that are written in primarily JavaScript due to those arguably just being packed inside their own little browser engine that they ship with, still yes.
Node.js is an extremely widely used JavaScript runtime environment that people are using to write server back ends and command line utilities and god knows what else in JavaScript.
The point of a gift isn't its material worth.
