Year 0 doesn't exist in the BC/AD numbering system, but does exist in the astronomical year numbering system, as well as the ISO 8601:2004 numbering system (and, apparently, in most Buddhist and Hindu calendars, which I didn't know).
Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.
- Matthew 5:17 KJV
To be a follower of Jesus, which is what the disciples originally called themselves, you would need to observe the law... IE, follow the original kosher laws and such.
The real (historical) reasons why Christians don't follow Jesus's religious traditions, come from an ease of assimilation. The Catholic church assimilated pagans into the religion, and it was easier to do so by telling them they don't have to change their current traditions, and that they just have to celebrate Easter, for example, for the birth of Christ and not as a celebration of the goddess of war, love, and fertility.
There are movements that try to go back to this core belief, though. Jews for Jesus and Messianic Judaism are two such movements, where they celebrate Judaism nearly in its entirety, while also believing Jesus was their savior and following his teachings. Truly an interesting, seemingly contradictory, mix of views.

I am fully aware that there are disagreements on whether or not Catholicism is Christianity or even whether it's a monotheistic or polytheistic religion, and, as such, whether the Catholic assimilations of pagans were relevant to Christianity as a whole. But, honestly, I couldn't care less. In the wise words of Shepherd Book, "I don’t care what you believe in, just believe in it".

Now, wait a minute, there, pal! The new iOS 26 has Windows Aero theme! Now, that's innovation! You don't get Windows Aero anywhere else, these days! And you know what Apple calls it? Liquid Glass... to show you exactly how fragile their product is...
unfairly shuts out rivals
Well., yeah... That's that ""magical, innovative experience” that makes the firm unique" that Apple was talking about.
I have an iPhone for work. iMessage is turned off, because fuck that shit. You don't like the green? Either suck it up or use our corporate messenger.

Use no-drill drywall anchors. The plastic ones generally expand when you screw in the screw. The metal ones don't, since they're metal and hold better than plastic. I've used both, and usually prefer the metal, because they're easier to remove is I need to.
Plastic:
Or metal (usually zink):
From a legal perspective, this is copyright infringement.
From a PR perspective, if Nintendo did nothing, they are siding with this type of use and with those who used it in such a fashion. This may be good or bad, depending on how Nintendo actually sides. If they did something about it, they may he making enemies with the court systems, but they may be making friends with them, depending on how the court system sides.
Basically, they have precedence to sue, but whether or not they do, and what the outcome would be, is anybody's guess. But if this goes live, I would appreciate a heads up, because popcorn takes a few minutes to prepare.
But a phone farm doesn't necessarily use whole cellphones. All it really needs is the network chip and a sim unit for network authentication, and the hub would then power and control it all. The pictures in the article look like a phone farm of this sort, and I believe they're correct in their assessment of its danger.

I wonder who those protectees are...
What's hooters?
Edit. I just searched it. It seems... ... offensive
Edit 2. Offensive, as in, taking advantage of these women. I couldn't care less about their dress code
