I'm reminded of the old saying: When seconds count, the police are only minutes away.
The same would hold true for any third party who isn't physically in your presence at the time of need. You are your primary means of defense, with third parties as a backup...
Yes, they asked for a reminder, not a conversation. Parents have to choose their battles. Demanding non-standard behaviour in order to do a required parenting thing like helping your child remember stuff is a really stupid hill to die on!
Texts are less important than email, and less urgent than a phone call. It's ridiculous to think it's rude not to reply, especially for kids who probably get 5-10 texts an hour.
If something's important enough to you that you want a definite response eventually, send an email. If it requires immediate communication, call. Don't apply false rules of politeness just to get a response out of your kid!
See the other answers for why this isn't really right, but given 4 dimensional spacetime, if that 'pixel' did exist, it would look like a hypercube/tessaract. A constantly stretching and twisting but approximate one, anyway.
The general rule is identification every 15 minutes or at the end of an exchange. Only one person in the exchange has to identify, if they're all on the same license.
Your family can use them use them just like they do FRS units. Within your conversation, use normal names, "unit numbers", or nothing at all as you will, then you just have to throw in station identification once in a while...
Coming from the viewpoint that the greatest threat to free markets is the artificial beings created by government called "corporations", I fully believe that some form of IP, appropriately time-limited and only licensable, not transferable, is a perfectly valid way to protect individual human creators, but that it cannot be granted to anything other than natural human citizens.
It's not about prevention of use by others, it's about prevention of monetization by others...
This reminds me of one of those documentaries where they show some ridiculous mechanical contraption in a scene, and the narrator says, "Before the technology became extinct, it had become vastly more complex and sophisticated, but alas, it's days were numbered..."
I'd give him a significantly better than average chance of being for real. I have several friends who work in a local biotech lab who've watched his videos from whom the responses have been along the lines of "Huh, yeah, I suppose you could do it that way, if you had no money and lots of know-how..."
Well, I've made a reasoned response to someone's post and haven't been permabanned, so I have to assume that it's better here than the authoritarian state that r/libertarian has become!
Monopolies are the opposite of free markets. Even pseudo-monopolies are counter to free markets as they inevitably use their dominance to manipulate the markets in their favor.
That said, I feel like there are a lot of libertarians who feel like free markets are core to the philosophy, and about as many who believe that free markets are a nice-to-have, secondary to everyone doing whatever they want in the market regardless of its impacts.

Weren't they already?

I'll support Senators not having a dress code when there isn't one for anyone else working in Congress...

Imagine how amazing the PR would have been if the title had been: "User gets spectator seating for a SpaceX launch in return for lost handle"
Nothing better than your first brew....

Ah-hah! Thank you. I figured me being stupid was the explanation...

No true libertarian would say that!

I mean, didn't they fuck everyone?
I have regular nerd-arguments about it:
