Oops — sorry about that! It’s fixed now. 🙂
Here’s the link, just in case: https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1I-PIrQ1zK8RDT6dOc-wfW9s__pQ7g1qVuc1BE5sN4wE/edit#slide=id.p
Hello, it looks like this link is no longer working. Is there any chance it could get fixed? Thanks!

I’ll see if I can recreate it.
All right, it’s been recreated!
