It’s like in Unpretty, that 90s song by TLC:

you can buy your hair if it won’t grow

you can fix your nose if you say so

you can buy all the iPhones that MAC can make

This involves some HTML in your Markdown, but isn’t very difficult. You’re just going to add an anchor tag (with an ID but no href) immediately above the heading, like so:

<a id=“some_examples”></a>
## Some Examples

When you’ve got that, you can just use the anchor in a Markdown link:

I’ve provided a few [examples](#some_examples) to illustrate this concept.

I’m pretty sure that “oh, shoot, things got wonky… toss a 13th month in here real quick” is due to people trying to force months to fit weeks.

It’s the opposite of what I was saying about the role that months play in timekeeping & how they work.

ALSO, the same can be said for weeks & leap days… so if it’s a point against months, it’s just as much a point against weeks.

Months are one of the best ways for a low-tech/pre-tech culture to keep track of dates (using the Zodiac for something it can actually do—act as a calendar you can see no matter where you are in the world).

Keeping them around is a sensible fail-safe in case some nuclear power sets us back into the dark ages.

It’s definitely been translated into the most used languages, but there are a bunch more that are being worked on still.

Here’s an infographic on it from another org: https://www.wycliffe.net/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/2023_Infographic-Large_EN.pdf

Looks like the way they calculate it, 80% of people in the world have access to a full translation of the Bible in their language.

Original sin: AI edition

I think the controversy of Janeway’s choice is largely due to the show’s failure to address the orchid of it all.

As I see it, Tuvix is not “Tuvok + Neelix,” but also isn’t “something new.” I maintain that Tuvix is primarily the orchid, which has subsumed the essence and personalities of two Voyager crew members and is asserting itself on board the ship.

All it would have taken is for Janeway to have maintained (or be convinced by another) that this was the case, and it would be the obvious choice to split them back up.

Of course that would negate the tension of the episode, but it could be left as “not everyone on board agrees that this is who/what Tuvix is, but Janeway believes it so that’s why her decision isn’t immoral.” We could have the same kinds of “was Janeway wrong?” debates, but some of the rough edges would be smoothed out, I think.

MechWarrior 2? Man, that takes me back…

This is why they want us to return to the office.

I’m guessing that if you have the right kind of Pal, you could figure out a way to Pay them to help you figure it out…
