    Estonian here, first Yank* scientist on Lemmy to come work at University of Tartu gets a beer on me. Note that when I say “come work at” I mean I live in the city, not that I work at the university too. I dropped out after a semester and a half lol

    * Yank refers to the entire USA here, though younger generations don’t use it much. You could be from Texas or California and still be a Yankee.

      Same in Finland: a Californian or a Hawaiian is a Yankee (in Finnish: jenkki) here.
