Anno Domini

(2025.02.14 A.D.)

I was $today years old when I realized that A.D. (anno Domini), which means 'year of the Lord' in Latin, is in line with the tradition of reckoning the years based on the rule of a king. You know, like, in the olden days where it would the Nth year of the reign of $king. Well now, by our convention in dates, it is acknowledged that Jesus Christ is Lord. We can never escape God or time, can we? But, sadly for programmers (except Lua programmers), there is no year 0 A.D. The years of this epoch start at 1.
