idegenszavak@sh.itjust.worksOPto [Locked] YUROP@lemm.ee•Polish general fired after missing anti-tank mines were found in IKEA15·6 months agoFrom the article:
According to the reports, soldiers failed to unload part of the train carrying over 1,000 tons of explosives in total, and the anti-tank mines continued to circulate around the country before they went missing.
Maybe Ikea needed the space to transport something, so they unloaded everything forgotten on the train.
Militaries surprisingly frequently loose weapons around the world:

Or they just wanted to support SCP-3008, but accidentally sent to a normal ikea ;)
idegenszavak@sh.itjust.workstoCartography Anarchy@lemm.ee•Time zones can be sillyEnglish1·8 months agoShit programmers say…
The problems of time zones only affect a handful of people, the wast majority of people nearly never think about this.
Epoch or standard time would just rename time zones, beucause currently you say hour offset from London, with “no timezone” you would have to say something like, noon is at 05:00 utc/epoch at that city, so nothing really changed
Industries where it actually matters already use UTC for everything, e.g. international flights.
It would make more sense to switch to base 10 minutes and hours than to “solve” the time zones
idegenszavak@sh.itjust.workstoCartography Anarchy@lemm.ee•Can't spell Missouri without MisouriEnglish1·8 months agoHe was drunk only once?
- This is his edit on the wiki page of Missouri from the day of this tweet: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Missouri&oldid=693016799
- He replaced an svg with png, so he didn’t even know how to properly fake a map
- His username was Robwhisman, he had only one edit on wikipedia, when he replaced the map. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/Robwhisman
- I suspect he was not found via this tweet, but his account was a fresh registration with only a single edit, most suspicious. Amateur vandal. Professionals lurk with small changes for years, than slowly ramp up to bigger levels, like the teenager who faked an entire language on wikipedia for years, and noone noticed his edits are just gibberish: https://www.theregister.com/2020/08/26/scots_wikipedia_fake/ He was caught after 10000 articles, not after a single edit.
