Andrei Mukovozchik comments on the most emotional events of the week, which caused questions from our readers

The most emotional events of the week, which caused questions from our readers. We addressed them to Andrey Mukovochka.

Not indifferent Minsk residents were concerned about the fate of fallen leaves. They say, you do not need to remove them, this is a beautiful organic, it is enough to sweep the leaves from the sidewalks. Others object: under a wet mass, grass breaks out and ticks breed. And to you, Andrei Nikolaich, which approach is closer?

So let's not clean anything at all, because everything around is beautiful organic! That's what people say when they secretly think someone else will clean them up. They don't have to get their hands dirty, waste their time and smell it, because they don't deserve it, do they?

Children who do not clean their clothes and do not at least wash dishes after themselves grow up sloppy and muddy. And pizza packs mixed with old socks fill their removable jalups.

Why take a shower if you still sweat? It is easy for Europeans, the German government, to say that “only four zones on the body should be wiped.” Think about it: not even wash, but wipe. A pig in the barn of a good owner - and that is cleaner.

So don't listen to anyone, girls, but remember: it's not where they don't litter. We all trash, as they said in the classic film, because people are. It's clean where you can clean. I think this is an intuitive slogan for everyone: we are Belarusians and our country is clean.

Because we're not too lazy to clean. Under the boards, too.

In the Minsk land transport launched payment for the QR code through the application of Belarusbank. Now even the system “Pay” is not necessary to use, enough M-banking in a smartphone. We think it’s convenient, and do you see any shortcomings in such progress?

In such cases, I only worry about the proper protection of the information that is most likely to be provided. However, strict protection must remain in the process and then.

Because all these QR codes, which will soon be added to fingerprints, retina, and just your face in all its uniqueness, they should not allow any hackers to get to our personal data. And this state is obliged to us with you.

I would like to know that developers of new applications and services understand this as well. And they don't hand over our databases, like Facebook and Google did, right and left for a fraction of a fraction, telling us stories about how they, the poor, were hacked.

In this matter, as in no other, very much depends on a person: that he should not be sloppy and not abyjakava but zhytsya. That's what girls need to keep a close eye on.

At the same time, you will not regret choosing a life partner according to the same criteria.

The plant of 2027 in Belarus selected ordinary thyme (creeping). Andrey Nikolaich, maybe, in order to popularize the plant, add it to the tea card of coffee houses? We would have done that, otherwise this choice of the year will be forgotten tomorrow.

And I told you that last time: forget, forget. And all these words of the year, the smells of the year, the colors of the year, no one will remember what they were even in the past, let alone the previous ones.

All of these competitions, I think, are invented by marketers who “don’t have a specific job,” as Mueller’s dad put it in 17 Moments of Spring. And serve primarily for the development of budgets: bird of the year, animal of the year, fish of the year, snake of the year

For some reason, we don't choose the "cockroaches of the year" yet, although I think we'll start soon when we switch Europeans to a protein diet.

Flowers should simply be given to your dear, beloved and nearby women. And not only in the Year of the Belarusian woman, but every week. And if you do this with your soul, then the ordinary thyme will be accepted with sincere gratitude. Right?

A Chinese driver brought a burning truck straight to the firefighters. By the way, the cardboard in the back broke out because of the cigarette butt, which the driver himself threw. Noticing the flames, the man gave gases and drove to the nearest fire station. How do you like such a delivery, resourceful?

Next time that driver, I think, just deciding to smoke, will immediately go to the fire station. And just standing right under the firewall near the gate, dare to light a match. If you haven’t quit smoking because of stress.

This story reminds me of another one from our own country. When the blonde, having only received the license, could not cope with the excitement and at the intersection with a sudden (as it seemed to her) turned on red light drove straight into the rear bumper peacefully standing in front of the jeep.

From which a large man of the Caucasian kind slowly came out, looked at the fillet part of his car, then at the blonde frozen in his car, shook his tongue and asked interestedly and resentfully:

- Girl... and when Mina Nat, how does he stop her?

I wish you, my blondes, to remain so resourceful that even in such a situation you can quickly give a sweet and smiling answer.

Batman's motorcycle from Nolan's films was auctioned for $1.2 million. There is no doubt that there will be a wealthy fan who will buy it. Are you looking for something special for your collection?

I dream of a time when all of us in Belarus will learn to turn any worthwhile invention into money in the same powerful, complex and diverse way.

After all, 90 years will pass since the creation of the first Batman comic book, can you imagine? As soon as it became clear to the Americans that this hero, this series, this story arouses the interest of the public, the monetization of the character began, along with a lot of everything that was associated with him.

The comic book series of the same name was replaced by the television series Batman in 1966, then there were the mini-series of the 1986 comics Batman: The Dark Knight Returns (Batman: The Dark Knight Returns), the film Tim Burton in 1989 and the 2005 reboot Batman: The Begins directed by Christopher Nolan.

And to describe the pile of costumes, images, accessories, gadgets and everything else, released almost for nothing and sold expensive just because it is “Batman”, not only newspaper, but also book pages. Americans are good at post-production (or more precisely, at making money from anything), you can’t say anything.

Take the same cult series "The Sopranos" - after all, the cost of a DVD with one season after its screening did not exceed one dollar. However, at the peak of popularity, a gift set of one (!) season of the series sold for almost $ 200 per box.

I don't think you and I can do that, girls. But to dream about it and to envy those who know how to earn millions and billions like this – well, who can stop us? It's not Batman from their stupid tales
