I volunteered. So, no longer involuntary.

If you do have to do it, you can hit 1234 or any other 4 digits after the 911 and you will still be connected to emergency services.

Source: accidentally called 911 when trying to make an international call and not understanding when the phone system needed the 9 prefix (only for internal extensions).

I was told something similar by a physician. Do your sleep routine, and then try to sleep for about 30 minutes. If it doesn't happen, get up, use the time, and try again after an hour.

I have been in meetings which people who thought the fact that a user could use a different font, even only intentionally, was "unacceptable".

I hope those people aren't directing the ship at YT, but could be.

Hmm. That's a long commitment for something I can't try out. Still, yeah, if it can restore any "youth" I might lose during that seven years, I'd experiment. Lots of changes I'd be curious to experience.

When given the option, read the instructions, and save for future reference. (A URL / bookmark doesn't count as saving unless you control the hostname (including DNS).)

Consistency. They don't want to be at the whim of your font (which for many users will be the OS default). While it's not frequent, sometimes Apple (iOS) or Microsoft (Edge) will have a very different interpretation of a Unicode emoji, which makes the UX of comments containing those emoji inconsistent between YT users.

Can I use the button multiple times? If so, I have several experiments / experiences to do / have.

If it's a one time thing, I'd probably stick with the same genetics. I got pretty lucky, and I'd hate to make a change that I later felt negative about.

I've given up. Especially with my new address (same state), I don't think any of the races are even close.

I voted as hard as possible until (and including) 2022, but Dobbs hurt, and this latest round of SCOTUS rulings and it is going to be harder to get to a voting station. It just doesn't feel worth it.

Yeah, I think if they hadn't tried to break the boycott / subreddit blackout, I might have stayed. But, reddit had made it pretty clear they didn't really want me around, since I was holding on to the old interface and RES for dear life, even before they attacked the API.
