Another fun fact, if you're out of Ukraine: In Europe, it is virtually always the case that the capital city of a country is also the largest city. The only two non-microstate exceptions that I recall are Switzerland (Bern and Zurich) and Kazakhstan (Astana and Almaty).
That's not the case for the US as a whole (Washington, DC and New York City), and more-often-than-not, it's also not the case for individual US states.
I can type 160wpm on a good day.
That'd be very fast. I mean, even without doing real-time composition.

The Guinness Book of World Records included her speed records amongst others in the "Typing, Fastest" category of the 1976[5]–1986[6] editions, where she was listed as able to "attain a speed of 170 wpm" and "maintain 145 wpm for 55 minutes"
Blackburn was popularly recognized as the "world's fastest typist"[9][10] and made media appearances to exhibit her typing speed and the Dvorak layout, notably appearing in a 1985 episode of Late Night with David Letterman[9] and in a television commercial for the Apple IIc.[10]

Roman epigraphy specialists recognised the message, found at the Roman site of Vindolanda, as a mangled version of the words Secundinus cacator, which translates into English as "Secundinus, the shitter".
They believe the phallic image alongside it added "to the force of the written insult".
"Only after we removed the mud did I realise the full extent of what I'd uncovered, and I was absolutely delighted."
Issuing an "Urgent ‘do not eat’ warning ". Seems like an over reaction. Rather than warning folks of the error.
There are some people who have serious food allergies, though I agree that for the great majority of people, eating one dish rather than the other is probably not a big deal.

A man who attacked his ex-partner over the head with a rubber mallet in front of their two young children has been jailed for life for her murder.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ice_pick
Because of its availability and ability to puncture the skin easily, the ice pick has sometimes been used as a weapon. Most notoriously, New York's organized crime groups known as Murder Incorporated made extensive use of the ice pick as a weapon during the 1930s and 1940s.[4][5] There were up to 1,000 murders committed by this group.

Butter knife 'an offensive weapon'
14 April 2005 • 12:01am
A butter knife can be an offensive weapon, the High Court ruled yesterday.
The decision came in the rejection of an appeal by Charlie Brooker, of Welling, Kent, who had been convicted under the Criminal Justice Act of carrying a bladed instrument.
Mark Hardie, appearing for Brooker, argued that the knife had no handle, sharp edges or points and therefore could not fall foul of a law intended to protect people from dangerous weapons.
But Lord Justice Laws, sitting with Mr Justice David Steel, disagreed. He said: "I would accept that a sharp or pointed blade was the paradigm case - however the words of the statute are unqualified and refer to any article that has a blade."
On my system, I can just run
$ sudo systemctl reboot --firmware-setup
And it'll take the system to the BIOS.
From the systemctl(1) man page:
--firmware-setup
When used with the reboot, poweroff, or halt
command, indicate to the system's firmware to
reboot into the firmware setup interface for the
next boot. Note that this functionality is not
available on all systems.
Added in version 220.
--boot-loader-menu=timeout
When used with the reboot, poweroff, or halt
command, indicate to the system's boot loader to
show the boot loader menu on the following boot.
Takes a time value as parameter — indicating the
menu timeout. Pass zero in order to disable the
menu timeout. Note that not all boot loaders
support this functionality.
Added in version 242.
On timing, I'd say that unless you plan to live in wilderness somewhere and limit connectivity options, that it's going to happen pretty quickly regardless of your position. Even if you don't provide access to the Internet, once kids start going to school, I expect that they'll make friends, and at least some of those friends are going to have Internet access, probably in a mobile form.
And phone-based WiFi hotspots and Bluetooth tethering means that if someone's friends have some sort of cell service with unlimited data, as long as they're around then, they can share an Internet access link, so can use their own WiFi-capable device, don't need to share devices. I expect that used WiFi-capable devices are not going to be hard to come by, though I guess that a parent could try to forbid their kids to have one.
And once a kid's location isn't restricted to being around their parents all the time, for anyone in an urban setting, there are going to be foot-accessible places that provide WiFi access
like, everyone at school knows the local Starbucks password or whatever.
EDIT: On consideration, I don't think that Starbucks actually passwords their WiFi service, but even for restaurants or shops or whatever that do and have guest WiFi, not a super high bar.
