Must have been a hell of a fight? Pirates from the British or the Spanish crown?

> For the person invited to uninvite themselves after is a bit weird.

If I invite you to my party and you agree, your not allowed to leave before I allow you. Yours sincerely, Vlad Drăculea

There you have your solution Idaxit! Leave the US, split the state and rejoin the union (US) in case you still feel like. ...or maybe don't and just use the chance and bring your legislative and judiciary into the 20th century. You will be still a ahead of the then neighbouring US at least by a century. Maybe even other states feel to follow the lead. I've heard Florida is always easy to convince for such a move; maybe skip the war declaration this time. ;-)

Disclosure: I have no clue about the underlying political/"cultural" differences of Idaho in contrast to the rest of the states...or Florida for this matter.

Common, this is genius. Plot reads: in 2154 a soldier from the future is send back in time to the present.

Why send a soldier from the present to the past when you can also have a soldier from the future send to the past!

I agree but I'm confused how you can use Signal in the same sentence then.

Reminds me at duckduckgo: makes claims and builds big branding about security but nobody (including me) ever questioned them. (Regarding article not at hand but of course also on HN.)

The first question I would ask: how does Signal finances itself when the service is practically "free"...

For the rest I totally agree: I could also convince some for XMPP/Jabber while at the same time it lets me question my relationship to those I couldn't move. I mean it's not that these days you couldn't install a second app if you already have 50 useless i.e. "coupon" apps installed anyway.

Though I really like the idea of having some backup infrastructure already for those discussed simple cases like (top comment for example): car broke down and you.. .. forgot your mobile .. out of battery .. out of "credit" (in case of prepaid) .. cuz you got robbed .. cuz you got raped....(!) .. cuz you lost your fingertips and can't operate a touch display anymore.. .. possibilties are hopefully rare but endless but you're just in whatever emergency at 3 am and really need a to make a call!

But just for curiosity, whom/where you wanna call in 2022++ in case of overloaded networks like Sep. 11th in 2001. At least I didn't even "own" (actually set-up) my landline anymore.

Welcome to MMXXII. About X centuries ago "we" imported the Hindu-Arabic numerals. I know, Latin numbers carry the myth of being more "safe" but really you should try the arabian numerals. They revolutionized math and eased reading text alongside. thumbs-up

High school physics and math as a major. I could scan you my scripts and papers if you're interested.....no won't. ;-D

But maybe "commonly used" was maybe the wrong term. More appropriately: "sometimes" or "by some".

Im sorry to be a party pooper but though Linking Sigil is also mentioned in the article but that's not what the article is refering/asking about.

Dislosure: I'm not directly from the fields of the Sciences Of Angles And Ambiguously Crossing Lines nor I've every seen or used this symbol before. However to me it's, pretty evidently, supposed to be a "no right angle" symbol.

(A) It's in the math section, (B) it's with angles, (C) the thunderbolt ↯ is commonly used for "not" or more specifically for dis-proof in this area and

(D) at least by my 30 s internet search on a mobile phone I couldn't find any other "no-angle" or "no-right-angle" symbol.

Someone could argue that usually you use a simple strike through as like as in ≠ (unequal), ∉ (not-element-of) or ∅ (empty set) but I would say it was chosen to avoid confusion in this case. The angle itself (without the "no/not") consists of only to orthogonal lines so it would be kinda complicated to "strike it though" in any direction without ambiguity that would resemble a triangle, a fork or whatnot.

> 2. You don't think that roads should be a car only domain? What do you think roads are for?

For example for my messanger on my horse so he doesn't get stuck in the mutt on it's voyage to the next city. ... or maybe my zenturie to support my legion?

What makes you think (or suggest) that roads where invented for cars?

Don't like it either but was curious enough to look it up this time:

Newpipe can also download. No need for bloated YouTube-App, Premium subscription or ti hassle with a command line tool (in case CLI's are not your thing).

As also mentioned by others, youtube-dl seems kinda dead. However there is a good fork/successor called "yt-dlp" which, in addition to other nice improvements, also somehow manages to work around the enforced heavy bandwidth limit by YT.

Actually I wonderd similar. However I guess the resolution comes straight from the marketing department since 16:18 is 16:9+9 which is, as already kinda mentioned in the article, 2x 16:9 screens stacked on top of each other.
