Best news of 2021, frankly.

@stavvers This sounds like something straight out of Mission Impossible.

In fact, I think there was one episode where they literally did cast bricks of lead or something and paint them.

I guess the MI team doesn't have quite the budget they used to now that the movies of solo works have taken over.

For reference, that's about 280 standard-weight shipping containers. (290, if theyre not lightweights containers.) Though they'd probably have been 20footers not 40s.

Which is not a simple logistics switch, like painting new bmnumbers on a container in the yard.

@stavvers My own head canon is that Ea Nasir is the first recorded victim of review bombing, and Nanni is basically Ur's Ralph Wiggum.

"And he gave me the copper, and the copper was bad, and one of the pieces of copper looked at me."

Guess who's back, back again?
Ea-nāṣir back, tell a friend
Guess who's back, guess who's back
Guess who's back, guess who's back
Guess who's back, guess who's back
Guess who's back

Tell Ea-nasir: Nanni sends the following message: ​ When you came, you said to me as follows : "I will give Gimil-Sin (when he comes) fine quality copper ingots." You left then but you did not do what you promised me. You put painted rocks which were not good before my messenger (Sit-Sin) and said: "If you want to take them, take them; if you do not want to take them, go away!" ​ What do you take me for, that you treat somebody like me with such contempt? I have sent as messengers gentlemen like ourselves to collect the bag with my money (deposited with you) but you have treated me with contempt by sending them back to me empty-handed several times, and that through enemy territory. Is there anyone among the merchants who trade with Telmun who has treated me in this way? You alone treat my messenger with contempt! On account of that one (trifling) mina of silver which I owe(?) you, you feel free to speak in such a way, while I have given to the palace on your behalf 1,080 pounds of copper, and Šumi-abum has likewise given 1,080 pounds of copper, apart from what we both have had written on a sealed tablet to be kept in the temple of Shamash. ​ How have you treated me for that copper? You have withheld my money bag from me in enemy territory; it is now up to you to restore (my money) to me in full. ​ Take cognizance that (from now on) I will not accept here any copper from you that is not of fine quality. I shall (from now on) select and take the ingots individually in my own yard, and I shall exercise against you my right of rejection because you have treated me with contempt.
