@tim1724 @flameeyes @mgorny That's actually goes against having the week starting on Sunday 😅 I'm aware of multiple bible quotes with the week ending on "day of rest/Sabbath/etc". And also by the time of Constantine I (in year 321) Sunday was designated day of rest and holiday. In 363 early Christian synod again prohibited celebrating Sabbath in favour of Sunday. It's also codified in all Slavic languages, pointing to it being the norm by the time they were christened.

@tim1724 @flameeyes @mgorny So if already from the 4th century there's solid evidence of Sunday being the day of worship and in countries joining the christianiom afterwards (some in 6th century, some in 10th, some later) the standard of starting the week on Monday was so strong it's part of the language. So what happened with US?

@tim1724 @flameeyes @mgorny I'm finding a lot of American articles with no references to sources that explain that obviously Sunday is the beginning of the week - but nothing that would quote sources. Contrary, multiple protestant groups like Puritans, Quakers, and Baptists regarded the week to start on Sabbath as part of their direct opposition to the Catholic Church. Those formed a major part of initial American settlers, could that explain why it changed.

@kravietz @radpanda Zielona Góra: po czym poznać, że w mieście ktoś potrącił pieszego na pasach? Po tym, że miesiąc później przejścia dla pieszych w tym miejscu już nie ma. Poważnie. Praktycznie co roku jak tutaj mieszkam miasto kasuje przejścia dla pieszych po wypadku, zamiast poprawiać bezpieczeństwo.

No i skończyły się szczepionki. Wizyty na wtorek odwołane, szczepionki brak. Jeszcze rejestracja pronuje terminy na środę 50 km stąd, ale mam mocne wrażenie, że to dlatego, że przychodnia nie pracuje w niedzielę i jeszcze nie zgłosili, że też nie mają czym szczepić. Państwo z kartonu.

@BlackAzizAnansi My grandfather got executed - shot trough his neck - and survived. Woke up in a pile of corpses, climbed a 4m high prison wall, broke his leg, hid in a church, escaped. Spent the war using a duplicate of his brother's documents (brother didn't make it - died near the end of the war, from getting injured while poaching).This was an unbelievable family story until a few years ago a documentary film crew showed up, asking if we have any photos of him.

@BlackAzizAnansi Even more oddly, this happened on 22nd/23rd of Oct 1939. Early enough in the war for international community to demand trial of the main perpetrator, Otto Hirschfeld, and for him to get actually sentenced - by a German court - to 15 years of prison for extrajudicial murder. Those prisoners were scheduled to be "legally" executed 2 days later, on the 24th.

@futurebird And then you try buying some petroleum jelly for your old leather jacket maintenance... Good luck finding an unscented one. I'm still using the jar I found in a London pharmacy 10 years ago.

@mkljczk No ale jest to słaby pomysł - jak ludzie używający domen `.af` i nagle zaskoczenie, że operator zbanował wszystkie treści LGBT, albo - to już dawniejsza historia dziś - że `bit.ly` zaczęło mieć nagle problemy jak wystartowała Arabska Wiosna.

@publius @Ardubal @collectifission Though isn't the only "Western" nuclear turnkey solution currently being deployed in significant number from Korea? (Nothing bad with it per se, but would be better to have more players.)
