  • As a result of the explosion, windows were broken in some houses but nobody was injured, PAP reported.

    Defense Minister Wladyslaw Kosiniak-Kamysz later said the object was most likely a drone, adding that an analysis was underway to determine whether it was a military or smuggling one, PAP reported.

    While I’m not an explosions expert, I would wager that a non-military drone likely wouldn’t be carrying anything that explodes energetically enough to break windows. I suspect only an explosives-armed drone would do that.





  • As the article states, the distance between Italy and Sicily is around 2 miles (3 km), which makes this bridge unimpressive in terms of overall length, as there are hundreds of bridges longer than that. The article claims this would be the world’s longest bridge, comparing it to Çanakkale 1915 Bridge, which isn’t the world’s longest bridge, but rather the bridge with the longest unsupported span at 2 km. There’s no artist rendering of the proposed bridge, and no mention of whether Italy was planning to build this bridge in such a way that the main span would be over 2 km. This distinction means the difference between unremarkable, or modern engineering marvel.






  • One of the dumb things my girlfriend and I do is call out one another for forgetting about Dre.

    I have a Home Assistant automation that simply sends the following message as a notification to her phone:

    “Reporters are on the scene in [redacted], where earlier today, blue collar workers encountered a Florida woman who forgot about Dre.”

    I didn’t set any triggers, just manually ran it while she was at home after our air conditioner was serviced.
