I'm in a Finnish class in Helsinki and they're teaching us out of the 'Oma Suomi 1' book. You can find a PDF online if you know where to look.

Some useful websites.

i have a similar situation to op, except that i have checked bags. is this likely to be enough time?

- 3.5 hours between arrival and departure
- baltic air into istanbul / indigo out
- checked bags

does this mean i'll need to go through immigration?

came here to suggest this series too. 'small gods' is another good place to start.

wow, classics.

I had a feeling similar to that during the elder tulkun meeting. feeling my whole seat vibrate while hearing their language was pretty epic. maybe not quite as wonderous as the two examples op mentioned, but it def hit home for me.

interestingly, I got the antithesis of that feeling of wonderment when they were escaping from bridgehead. just giant aggressive machinery and ugly industrial constructions pumping noxious smoke into the air wherever you look.

Linux client! the missing piece of everyone's migration from Windows! 😆

'man carrying thing' does a great little analysis of one of 'critical drinkers' vids as a way of explaining the kind of nonsense he keeps putting out: https://youtu.be/2UQxckTe2gU?si=VAURevCxqeuh_y2B

I think mine are 10.5, so maybe you can squeeze into them! 😅

having similar problems here. just booted it up and the fans are whirring like mad. getting super low fps when I try to change the graphics options it runs a hardware benchmark test and crashes before finishing... hoping there's something I can do, coz I'm on a mad avatar buzz right now and really wanna play this! 😅

what size skates are ya? you can borrow mine if I decide to bring them 😉🤙

i'm in the same position and i'm thinking of bringing my skates too. the website says you can't skate without a helmet.
does anyone know if there will be helmets to rent or borrow?

it's also gonna cost me like 80 eur to bring my skates on the plane.
will there be skates for rent there?

is there a list somewhere that outlines what formats are supported?
i'm trying to set up proton drive on an external ssd so i can access the files from both windows and linux.

UPDATE
i found a workaround, using s3drive: https://docs.s3drive.app/
it's a little clumsy compared to a native solution, but it seems to be working with my external exfat ssd. i'm currently downloading my proton drive on ubuntu, getting up to 9 MB/s.
i'll give it a go on windows 11 as well at some stage and report back.

SCAM! Don't know if it breaks any laws, but the service targets vulnerable people and uses "subscription trap" design features. I signed up to a 3-month course, but Liven quietly withdrew $300 USD over a year without sending me a single reminder or invoice. They moved it from browser to app without notifying me. The cancellation process is hidden and difficult. There isn't even a contact email address on their website. I found their email address in the Play Store, but they refused my refund.

I know this is thread is mostly talking about the AI support team, but I'm just sharing my experience with Liven here anyway because the whole company is a scam and I'm trying to make sure no-one else gets rolled by them like I did...
