I have a photo of Rudolf Švácha in Zlin in 1928, who was a friend of my Moravian born grandfather. Rudolf Švácha was a Czech-American builder from Chicago, who stayed in Zlín for two and a half years and taught local masters the "American way of building". It was thanks to Švách that veneer technology was applied to the houses built later, where a perimeter air gap is created between the perimeter wall and the plaster, ensuring warmth and dryness in the room.

Zlin is my favourite city in Czechia. I'd choose there over Prague or Brno anytime of the year if I could! Quaint, full of Czech life (real Czech culture, not tourist/foreign student oriented) and sooooo much nature walking distance from any point within the city! Not to mention, the people! Some of the nicest folk you'll meet across the whole Czechia! The Zoo is hands down the best in the country, and one of the best I've ever visted. The history is so rich! How Bata started his shoe company, and Barum! A tyre company. He thought tires were too expensive for his trucks so he built his own, growing it so much that they eventually merged with Continental! Some great inventions came out of Zlin, and one of my favourites is the duo Pat&Mat! 10/10 recommend any tourist visiting Czechia to stop by at least for a day!

5:22 Looking up the reasons for the 20ft column spacing (I'm not sure if they're all specific to the US), those seem to be beam spans (20-foot span is a manageable distance for beams commonly used in construction), cost effectiveness (allow for a balance between material usage and creating usable space), and stuctural stability (20 feet between concrete columns often provides sufficient support).

Whoever made this decision of contacting Honest guide to make a promo of UTB, well done! 👏 it's a great way to promote it! I personally took the same bachelor's degree as Janek, and I had a blast! The people, the department of multimedia, the school, the canteen,everything was just memorable. Unfortunately, I still think this university needs to work on the English speaking programs and integration of English subjects into their system. It's not good enough, especially for people coming from abroad. The university is missing native speakers and teachers from abroad with broader knowledge, which will provide the quality. Also, when you show all of these equipment rooms, most of the time, students are not allowed to use them. It's a bit of paradox because the department is promoting themselves as there are many opportunities, and you can try multiple things, but the reality is quite the opposite. There is just so much more potential, and the change should happen any time soon, or even one of the youngest universities in Czechia will stay with the same old standards, unfortunately.

The hidden reason behind odd pricing is to ensure that sales staff always have to make change. If all prices were rounded, customers could hand over notes and walk out with the goods. Then the notes could go straight into the salespersons pocket. This didn’t even need to be malicious. In a busy shop, efficient salespeople could end up with pockets of cash, so an appreciable amount of organic loss was inevitable even without theft. But by having odd prices, the transaction was much more likely to occur at a register.

Goodness gracious. I just mentally round it to the next full number. What’s an “honest seller”? It’s just someone who describes accurately what they sell, and if you are not satisfied, gives you back your money under the contractual conditions. The correct price is the price that you are ready to pay. The 1499.90 is a simple psychological trick to make it easier for your brain to make the decision, when you actually were ready to pay 1500.

@@thomasalbrecht5914 Ofcourse, everyone rounds it and that was also my point why these prices like 139.99999999999999999999999 are completely pointless, because everyone will round it anyway. You have to be very carefull in these days, especially in German supermarkets like Lidl, Kaufland etc....they are masters of cheating that you don't notice on the first look, you have to check if price on the bill was actually the same as price they were showing in the shop etc....it's a war and customer can't win this fight and it's very exhausting. That's why some smaller countries complain to EU that we need better laws against these chains, but nobody cares becuase Germans rule everything. That's why it's that important to support countries like Poland and other bigger countries that are not Germany, we really need some powerfull block of countries that could push some EU laws and other changes even when Germans block it. Like with double prices and double quality, here in Czechia, we have worse quality and higher price than in Germany in these German stores and EU doesn't care, but that's already pretty far from original topic I guess. 😀

To make sense in english, and keep the meaning as well, it has to be translated as "at your place" (which is literally "na tvėm místě". Which nobody says in czech in this context, because it has similar meaning as "if I were you ...". Translation between languages can be sometimes tricky :-))
