I see many of the parts references have a horizontal line through them. What is the significance of the horizontal line?

Assuming that it doesn't just mean that they're on the level ...
Can you supply an example or two please ?

My GUESS is that those parts are no longer regularly stocked by the listed suppliers (but may return).

@will Nope, I just ordered from most of those inks, maybe one was OOS. I originally thought that was the meaning as well, but I have also seen the strikethrough on an article or website link as well.

My impression was that the article's author would specify the part and the source where they got it but would then strike out the supplier when told in the comments that the parts weren't available.
It made sense but apparently doesn't apply.

@will That would be nice but I suspect Bill doesn't have the time to do daily checks on inventory levels at suppliers and then edit all his videos. It seems strange that those places had inventory when he did the project, but then somehow he found out they were OOS so marked them with the line, but then did not follow up to remove the line when inventory was replenished.
It is all the more mysterious since at least 2 of the suppliers Mouser and DigiKey allow back orders I think.
