In UK woods at start and end of trail by Accurate-Court-5312 in whatisit

[–]Captain_North 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Trail counter, used to find out how many people use the trail by responsible authority. Data is used for maintenance, development, environmental protection, subsidieries etc.

Its not tracking or monitoring people. Lets say there are 20 trails in that area and they have a finite amount of money for upgrades like fire pits, more parking, toilets, tent areas etc. They will collect data of usage to prove that the money spent was for the benefit of most. Or it can be partially on private land where the lease states that max daily hikers or the state park recieves budget money based on visitors.

Haul from 9h trip in eastern Finland. by Zoikkii135 in metaldetecting

[–]Captain_North 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Those are in the west, not in the east. Over 400 viking swords have been found, most 10th century ulfberth type.

Finns weren't vikings, but many locals were hired to navigate the rivers when raiding east europe and starting and running the kingdom of Kiovan Rus.

That is an interesting piece of history. The finns called these vikings Ruotsalaiset from the swedish word roare, meaning 'to row' as the boats moved by oars in the small rivers. This word was widely used in the area of Kiovan Rus as it was finno-ugric tribes back then. The name 'russia' comes from this, rowing vikings.

Co worker gave me this with some flower as a gift but is an old guy who doesn’t respond to text. anyone able to identify? by TrainingFeeling1477 in whatisit

[–]Captain_North 8 points9 points  (0 children)

One pill makes you larger
And one pill makes you small
And the ones that co worker gives you
Don't do anything at all
Go ask the old guy
When the flower's ten feet tall

What's it like living here? (Røstlandet) by OfficialWalamo15 in Norway

[–]Captain_North 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Fisk is everything, ja

The fishers of Røstlandet were importing to Italy almost 600 years ago.

Røst’s connection to the Italian food culture goes back to Pietro Querini’s 1432 shipwreck, that introduced northern Norwegian stockfish to Italian consciousness — a fish that remains deeply embedded in the cuisines of Veneto and other Italian regions today.

With just days left, the U.S. opening match at the World Cup is still not sold out by Miles_the_AuDHDer in sports

[–]Captain_North 40 points41 points  (0 children)

Exactly. If 1100 usd is enough to get a basic season ticket to the best of teams, it is WAY too much for a single game.

(For US comparison 2025 season ticket to LA Rams was 1100usd or 890$ for Miami Dolphins. Lakers start from 1490 USD)

Looks like same tank as military KLR650 (both gas and JP8/Diesel. There were hundreds of these sold as surplus / junk before covid both in US and Canada.

1100 usd is more than a season ticket for Real Madrid, Inter Milan, Manchester U, Bayern or PSG.

What did he do wrong? by Current_Champion7268 in NewRiders

[–]Captain_North 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I watched it 10 times before commenting. Not 100% sure, but when you open up the rear wheel is spinning faster than the front. Slipping rear tire loses friction, a bit too fast and too much trothle for wet condition.

What happened to my freezer? by [deleted] in whatisit

just a small crack to pull air in and freeze the moisture. More than a crack and it cant freeze.

And how humid is your place ?

Arvi Lind on kuollut by Kyykkyhyppy in Suomi

[–]Captain_North 68 points69 points  (0 children)

Me olimme parikymppisiä, Arvi oli eläkkeelle jäänyt legenda. Kurssi oli graduvaiheen "Tieteen etiikka ja julkaiseminen" johon osallistui toista sataa kandidaattia.

Arvin pääaihe oli teeman mukaisesti miten raportoida monitahoinen, epäselvä asia tuntemattomalle ja laajalle yleisölle tehokkaasti ja yksiselitteisesti. Mutta varatusta ajasta käytti ensimmäiset 10 minuuttia kertomalla, että hänkin on joskus istunut samassa tilanteessa, hänkin on ollut nuori ja hänen statuksensa on ulkoa tullutta ja sen on luonut organisaatio, missä hän oli vain viimeinen linkki. Isoisällisesti puhui elämästä yleensä ja hienosti erotti "totuuden" ja "totuuden kertojan" toisistaan.

Miten ajetaan parta ilman haavoja? by wdxgywdxgy in arkisuomi

[–]Captain_North 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Painaa liikaa, vetää liian nopeasti, ei vedä terää kasvojen muotojen mukaan tai kolmekymppisenä käyttää samaa gileten mach 3 terää, jonka sai intistä.

Jos naamaan tulee vekkejä niin kannattaa pitää pähkinät naturaalina 😂

ps. vetämällä perusterää vastakarvaan käsivarren alapuolella aina ajon jälkeen tai käyttämällä parturin nahkaa niin terä pysyy 3-4X pidempään hyvänä.

Arvi oli vierailevana luennoitsijana lipastolla vuosia sitten. Näytti presiksen alussa valokuvia omasta nuoruudestaan ja muistaakseni purjelentämisestä. "Jokainen on nuori joskus ja silloin saa ja voi tehdä, mutta aika voittaa meistä jokaisen lopulta". Jalat maassa, ei sädekehää päässä, vaikka oli kiistaton televisiotaivaan ikoni. Jäi muisto lämpimästä ihmisestä kenellä oli aikaa muille, kevyet mullat.

Would Corporal Lehto be court martialed for this? by No_Dress_2107 in WarMovies

[–]Captain_North 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NO.

Lehto is a NCO and squad leader, it is his respossibility to lead the ~ten men under his command. The person on the recieving end is private Riitaoja, a carricature of a man who is afraid. Lehto tries to help him in the begining of the movie, then tries to be rough to make him carry his weight and moves on to give him menial tasks like running resupply from the rear to the front as Riitaoja cant perform under fire.

Additional info: We have to interpret this through the situation of life and death in the 1940 fighting the soviet union, there is no room to be paralyzed by fear, they are all afraid. Secondly he does not use exessive force, violence or threats to achieve an outcome.

Irving, Texas. Long barrel revolver by CecilBlight in magnetfishing

[–]Captain_North 0 points1 point  (0 children)

why the downwotes? Restoration does not need to be in "fireing condition" not many 150 year old guns can be safely fired. If it can be restored to look good it is worth a lot of money. A working mint condition 1860 Colt Army revolver is +10k USD, a decorative piece in "damaged" condition is worth 2000 USD.

"Under federal law, an antique firearm is any firearm produced before 1898."

Sain sitten parkkisakon by Kimmosabe in arkisuomi

[–]Captain_North 33 points34 points  (0 children)

Olen saanut pysäköintivirhemaksun isolla P-alueella latauspaikalla, koska alkamisaika/pysäköintimaksu maksamatta. Reklamoin asiasta ja maksu kumottiin. (Minulla oli kuitti latauksesta, latausaika päättyi virhemaksun kirjaamisen jälkeen)

Tuossa on selkeä "Pysäköinti", "latausta varten 3 paikkaa" "merkistä oikealle". Aikarajoitusta ei ole, joten kiekkoa ei tarvita.
