Doubtful, given that Dendi is Ukrainian…

But now that I think of it, he’s a Russian speaking Ukranian so maybe he WOULD be their first choice…

I had these during kindergarten (in the 90s) in the US, but they replaced them with cartons by the time I got to first grade.

Which is good because none of us 5 year Olds could operate them

I grew up on a farm and this was the ultimate defense against geese.

They are much lighter than you, so if you can get them off the ground (neck or feet ideally) they can’t do anything

It has it’s own challenges, sure… but english isn’t even remotely close to being the hardest language to learn

The spelling is messed up, it has (like virtually every language) a bunch of exceptions to rules, but the grammar has been hugely simplified over the past 1000 years.

Not to mention that the biggest advantage to learning languages is familiarity and the fact that English is, well, everywhere makes it easier.

Sure Esperanto is easier, but for most of the world something like Japanese would be muuuuuch harder

Where I live (London) things are virtually cashless. Nearly everything is just paid for be contactless. I basically never have coins and it would be a huge hassle to get them.

I love it, honestly.

I’m in the process of moving away for other reasons, but brexit had nearly no effect on visiting/entering the UK, so no need to worry about that.

They were never in schengen, so there were always border controls. Most of their border controls are automated, so it’s super smooth.

It’s wayyyyy easier than (for instance) entering the US (even as an American!)

Depends on the country though as well. Its probably pretty easy to figure out for big ones like the USA, but in smaller countries its often a mess…

That’s such a good point. I really appreciated how it wasn’t scared to let viewers figure things out.

Interesting mix of kilometers and inches…
