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:
md
<a id=“some_examples”></a> ## Some Examples
When you’ve got that, you can just use the anchor in a Markdown link:
md
I’ve provided a few [examples](#some_examples) to illustrate this concept.
Im pretty sure I saw this as a visual gag in a Muppet Babies comic book in the 80s! I think it was issue #13… I might still have it packed away somewhere
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.
MechWarrior 2? Man, that takes me back…
Ah, sorry. It stands for “Manufacturer’s Suggested Retail Price.”
In the U.S. the law doesn’t allow a manufacturer to require that retailers sell their product at a particular price, but they’re free to “suggest” one so that’s how we ended up with the MSRP.
It doesn’t carry any real weight, but it generally serves to anchor consumer expectations for a product’s value. (It also gives retailers an easy metric to compare sale prices against.)
The MSRP for Nintendo Entertainment System cartridges in the mid-80s, adjusted to today’s U.S. Dollar, would average around $150-200.
I don’t think games should cost that much, but we stuck with the $60 price point for literal decades so it’s not completely unreasonable for someone to talk about raising prices.
(I also write this while having only bought one game? two? In the past year.)
“Fair” in the context of this phrase is meant to convey “beautiful” but literally meant “light or pale skinned.”
“Maiden” is meant to convey “young woman,” but literally meant “virgin” (as in “maiden voyage”).
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…
