It's OSS, you know.. - take a look at the sources and then do what's needed to have your own Pink -SoD with ponies. Or whatever your heart desires

codepoint utf16 \ud83d\udebe, utf8 \u1F6BE but don't expect too much - it's just that, a W and a C.
You can have it all in a single room but a larger apartment or house may have separate ones and then the names of the rooms are like I wrote. In German the colloquial word for toilet is Klo which is short for closet.

WC, the typical abbreviation for toilets in most countries in Europe.
Bathroom is where you take a shower and brush your teeth or shave, toilet is the room where you dump your load and the thing you sit on is what I called the water closet (as opposed to just a hole in the ground.)
WC even has it's own emoji button so it cannot be that unusual

When you talk about 'Russians' here, you may think of them as educated citizens from Moscow, St.Petersburg, Yekaterinburg,... and while their sources of information may have been reduced (certainly over the last year) you can expect them to know about the accidents and the dangers of exposure to nuclear radiation.
But when you talk about 'Russians' in the sense of ru. soldiers you must realizes that many of those have been drawn from minority regions far off, colonies of the ru. empire. It's those guys who didnt know what a water closet is (and shat next to it into the drain after invading Ukrainian cities) and among them the knowledge about the Chernobyl accident may be scarce.
The officers should have known but they apparently don't give so much for the life of the 'meat'.

yep, was the future, is the future and will be the future for ever and ever.
Always 20 years from becoming the solution.

can't believe how far down I had to scroll to find the first post mentioning the obvious.
Mycobacterium smegmatis
The smelly white cream down there is a source of energy.

they dug trenches in the red zone and slept there for days and weeks. Then effects showed and they left the NPP in a hurry. Stole a number of highly radioactive samples though.

It was Eudora back then for me as well, then TB on win and linux. After 8 years of running from the very same installation on Arch TB would freeze for minutes again and again to the point that it was simply unusable. So, with a sorry heart, I declared Thunderbird dead.
Then, searching for alternatives, I stumbled over BetterBird https://www.betterbird.eu/inde... which does not freeze, supports my old plugins and simply runs like expected. Tested it on Linux and MacOs but it has downloads for win as well.

Why would you want different definitions of a second? Trying to micro manage relativity?

And looking at it the way you put it, isn't it an obviius choice to go option 2?

parent is the first post that mentions other planets and the need to look at time standardisation in a wider frame than just [earth,moon]. Mars, Mercur, Ceres, Europa, Titan, ..

You won't get rid of leap seconds and that stuff as long as you try to set up a simple calendar.
Earth and moon work gravitationally on each other, the system looses energy, the celestial bodies spiral away from each other, the length of day, year change slowly but constantly.

> I actually can't think of any country that doesn't use UTC and a 24 hour clock as the base
Except the US who force their 12 hour ampm spleen onto the rest of the world.
