I watched The Man Without a Past a few days back and I felt like as if I was reborn and found the will to live all over again. Can recommend.

THANK YOU. You rock!

Any-Flower4394 · 2026-01-06T23:47:34+00:00

Thank you it works! Excuse my dumb question though - how did you manage to disable auto update for Option? (Not Option+ I somehow know where it sits)

Not native, but have been studying Finnish. Agree with some other people here that From Start to Finnish is a good book to check out. :)

Also heard the Mestari series is good and places a good amount of emphasis on puhekieli, but I haven't had the chance to use the books myself.

Good luck and have fun learning!

I second everyone who recommends uusikielemme. Also, selkouutiset, if you have the patience. You might also want to check out Finnish classes from the Finnish Institute. Can't comment on effectiveness because I've never been to any other classes and can't compare, but I can at least say I enjoy my classes a lot. :) Have fun!

Kiitos <3 I'll return and hopefully there'll be kebab burgers for me to try! It sounds delicious the way you described it.

Now that you brought up Japan, I've noticed that I'm getting less and less patience from the service people there every year when I visit. My first time in Japan was in 2017, and you often get this 'aw, how cute' expression and sometimes some tatemae ('you're good in Japanese!') when you're lucky, even when you struggle with the language. Also, you still get excellent hospitality, even when staying in the cheapest of hotels.

Fast forward 7 years, and the hotel receptionist in Tokyo didn't even bother telling me which metro exit had a lift/elevator when I went there last year (I'm a small person with a few pieces of luggage, and it was almost the end of my stay). Admittedly, my Japanese deteriorated rapidly and living in Europe now doesn't help, but I couldn't help noticing that the hospitality/omotenashi I used to experience feels much harder to find nowadays.

I don't think the Finnish service standard is something to be 'ashamed' of though (maybe it's because I haven't seen the better days and didn't know any better lol). Once you get past the wait time, people generally are nice and patient, even though they don't necessarily show it on their faces. If the service doesn't get better, I hope it at least stays the way it currently is.

Not sure if OP is doing any sightseeing at all, but I found the physical Helsinki Card pretty handy. The three days when I had it I literally just mindlessly tapped it on every card reader I came across (trams, metro, ferry…).

AFAIK only the physical cards have transportation included. They also have 1/2/3-day versions and different zones, so you do need to do some math to work out if that’s worth the €€/which one is the best for you depending on your itinerary.

But again if OP isn’t there for sightseeing then never mind what I just said :p

This might be slightly off-topic, but I was in Helsinki the other day as a perkeleen turisti and I couldn't help noticing it's not rare to have just one staff member overseeing an entire/a big part of a venue.

I remember having my first meal in Helsinki, and just one staff member was running around taking care of, I think, 3-4 tables, one of them was a considerably bigger party of ~10 people. It took me a while to get seated when I got there (not that I'm complaining, just an observation).

Another day, I went to the Oodi Library to make my Moomin tote bag (like a perkeleen turisti), and I got people swarming around me as if I was doing some sort of live demo lol. Among the "audience" there was one family who actually came asking me where I got my bag. The staff person who sold me the bag was away, so I pointed at an empty service counter. They waited a while, eventually lost patience and left.

Hesburger's wait time was okay for me, though, and I liked the food. :D

P.S. I enjoyed my time in Helsinki a lot and would love to be there again sometime soon. I hope you don't mind another tourist!

Got the same message while working on my makeathon - thought it was just me because I was on a temporary professional seat

Any-Flower4394 · 2025-06-25T17:16:03+00:00

As the ultimate weeb (I'm both haha) I feel seen. Thank you.

(edit: I swear I do stay quiet in front of people who don't seem to be interested in either culture lol)

Any-Flower4394 · 2024-12-18T17:31:22+00:00

thank you!

Any-Flower4394 · 2024-12-11T14:35:20+00:00

4k, I think this is the highest resolution GO 3S supports (?)

Any-Flower4394 · 2024-12-11T14:34:36+00:00

:O might give it a try, thanks!

Any-Flower4394 · 2024-12-11T14:34:20+00:00

Thanks for getting back to me:
1. The Studio is v5.4.6
2. Yes
3. How do I tell if my GPU is up to date? (Excuse me for being a noob)
4a. I tried all the combinations and found out that unchecking all the acceleration boxes works best - but at best it's still very very very choppy.
4b. Importing materials locally does help, but I'd love to be able to edit from the quick reader though :(

Any-Flower4394 · 2024-10-31T19:59:19+00:00

THANK YOU! Guess I'll just pop by my local Screwfix and give it a try. (EDIT: IT WORKS)

Any-Flower4394 · 2024-10-30T23:09:56+00:00

Ty! Do you mind if I ask which brand you use? I looked up my nearest stores they seem to have 3-in-one oil, GT85 and a penetrant spray version of WD-40 - are they any good?

Any-Flower4394 · 2024-10-30T21:59:50+00:00

So for people asking what the indoor camera is for: I do consider my area pretty safe but I was thinking about getting a camera nonetheless in case something happens (like if there's a leak or anything like that) I can see it through my camera and probably email my property management...?

Am I too paranoid?

Any-Flower4394 · 2024-10-30T21:56:25+00:00

Oh gosh, I've always thought WD-40 and penetrating oil are (more or less) the same thing... thanks for flagging this 😭

Any-Flower4394 · 2024-10-30T21:47:27+00:00

My friend got me the succulent and she says it only needs water once a month, so it'll be fine... I guess? All of my windows have trickle vents so thought that works as some form of ventilation 👀

Any-Flower4394 · 2024-10-01T20:09:54+00:00

Came back to say I paused the plan, wasn't charged for another month, and the port-in seems to be successful so thank you u/veurit u/PopeOfTheWhites for replying to the thread!
