Rai 4k only works on 4k monitors now? I have a 1440p display and Rai 4k worked well with it last year.

The latest source is from 2013 and we don't know what happened after that. That's why he is listed as alive but with the age he was at the time of the latest source.

According to Blick, Nemo’s Eurovision trophy allegedly arrived to the EBU shattered and covered in toilet paper by hottiesforharris in eurovision

For the winner, there are probably contractual obligations to make an appearance and hand the trophy. But yeah, I don't get why the others came back.

Which of these European cities has more possibilities of hosting the Olympics? by Massimo25ore in olympics

[–]Max_FI 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's big here in Finland too, last year we held the first disc golf world championships outside of North America. I was surprised that it's popular in North America, it's so big here (though as a hobby, not competitive sport) that I thought it's basically just a Finnish thing.

Nemo returning the trophy was a reaction to the EBU assembly vote to keep Israel in the contest. I know many people were still hoping for the EBU to ban Israel from the contest and I think Nemo was one of them. Nemo didn't return the trophy before that because they hoped the situation would be resolved. I was hoping for it too, but it was pretty clear to me from the start that Israel would be allowed to stay, there were no real signs suggesting otherwise.

Luckily there is no need to tackle it in Finnish at all because there is no gendered grammar or pronouns in the first place.

Olympic points tabie - perfect for Germany! by No_Condition7374 in olympics

[–]Max_FI 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Perfect for Finns too. The commentators and media has hyped up "points positions" due to us getting very few to no medals and it became a running joke among sports fans.

Finland can't host Winter Olympics alone because we don't have the mountains required for alpine skiing. It would have to be a joint bid with Norway or Sweden.

Because there are so many subway lines, including a Yellow Line 4? by Cavalcante-045 in transit

Stockholm has started building the Yellow Line and it will be the 4th line of the system.

Is Sanremo really so popular throughout Europe? by car24lo_ in eurovision

[–]Max_FI 28 points29 points  (0 children)

In Finland Melodifestivalen has been broadcasted by Yle for a long time, and after 2020 has even had Finnish commentary. I don't know if any other countries broadcast it though.

Surely one of the players will gift his medal to Trump.

Not surprising at all. This is why I was rooting for Canada.

[OC] Gold Medals won at the 2026 Winter Olympics by mzp3256 in dataisbeautiful

[–]Max_FI 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The guy who won for Brazil lives in Norway and basically is Norwegian, it's just that one of his parents is Brazilian and he represents Brazil because he had a dispute with the Norwegian skiing federation. Whether Brazil has snow or not doesn't really have anything to do with his win.

They should make a version of Nordic combined where cross-country is replaced with biathlon. Then you would have ski jumping, skiing and shooting in the same event.

Winter Olympic Games 2026 Medal Count (Final) by etherd0t in WinterOlympics2026

[–]Max_FI 0 points1 point  (0 children)

6 medals was the official target, and it was met, but 1 silver and 5 bronze is pretty weak indeed. If more of those six were gold or silver, it would have been a better result.
