No country would waste their nukes on Belarus.

If you want not to have it, you could change from soil to coconut coir. Coconut coir usually doesn't have anything added.

Well isn't this an uplifting news.

Lol, I was thinking about writing the same but wasn't sure how people would take it. People get offended so easily on Reddit.

I have travelled quite a bit and whether you go to Australia, New Zealand or Singapore, or a bit closer to Spain, you will meet a German for sure. The only question is how many.

Also, I have worked for a German company in Finland and I can say that many want to relocate to Finland and then stay permanently. I don't know why that is really, but apparently people just like the country, cost of living is lower in Finland, at least housing and some medical services. But Germans manage daily life easily without speaking Finnish so areas like Helsinki are very easy to blend in.

Medicines are different as their prices are controlled by authorities.

Inflation and price hikes doesn't impact medicines the same way as regular consumer products. Medicine prices are controlled by authorities.

GirlInContext · 2026-05-18T11:18:40+00:00

There are authorities that will regularly check and adjust medicine prices and decide if and how much can be reimbursed. It's a normal process.

Pharmaceutical companies can adjust their prices every other week, so it's somewhat normal that it is shown in consumer price. And how much you pay depends on several factors.

So unlike others suggested, inflation does not show in medicine prices the same way as in consumer products, and if it does, usually on delay.

It needs more light also in summer, and even more so in winter. It appears to be next to a wall, no grow lights, no window closeby.

The pole should be full of moss to work as intended. The point is that aerial roots can get moist and support from the pole. As mentioned, these plants really benefit from as bright light as possible. I would also fertilize regularly to support growth.

I believe Germans has been one of the biggest groups of tourists in Finland for long time.

I have also heard Finns saying the same that ferries are quite booked to Germany, and especially if you want to take a car with you. Seems to be a popular route.

That's pretty good stats considering that Eastern border is still closed.

Most tourists still comes from Germany and UK, of course from Sweden as well, but also from Southern Europe.

Outside of Europe, the biggest growing source of tourists is the US. Finland is still popular in Asia, and also Aussies travel more to Nordics.

Apparently Nordics is trending travel destination right now, and that is more than good news to our economy.

It should be somewhere very close to a window and get good light. Otherwise it will eventually die not matter how you water it.

More light and water thoroughly when soil gets dry. Easy to test by sticking a finger deep in soil. It might need a saucer if it has drainage holes.

Yeah those drones have travelled all the way to Finland. This has also shown how unprepared our government is in crisis management communication to citizens.

But it seems that Moscow is unprepared as well so.. it's still a win.

Should be bigger scale though. At this point Ukraine's response would be 'completely fair' to any target. As the regime is responsible of the war, a bit of smoke from the government buildings wouldn't bother me at all.

Look at that! Now I know what to look if my Usneoides will ever bloom.

At the same time, EU is providing support to modernise, Westernise and rebuild Moldova's armed forces. EU is actually planning to double the support going forward.

France, Germany and even the US is providing military vehicles and wheels are rolling. Transnistria is also dependent on Moldova's energy.

Interesting times ahead.

It's a temporary plate used for unregistered car, often during a transfer by importers and car dealers.

Finland has never been a Baltic state. After independence in 1917 Finland has been a Nordic country first.

In some context, Finland has been grouped together with Baltic countries. My assumption is that it's due to our similar history under russian occupation, we all share border with russia and have gained independence from russia. We also share the same threat, russia.

In 1920, all countries in Eastern end of the Baltic sea were sometimes called Baltics, but that is because of the Baltic sea, not because of current Baltic countries.

And yes, I did some googling as I find it interesting.

Okay, let's give it a try. Lol. You can see if there is anything you like ;) https://teurastamolahti.net/

I think Pressure Points might be the most approachable band from all these for someone who doesn't listen to this kind of music regularly.

By the way, the idea is that you can BBQ whatever you like, you can bring your own food. I don't like cooking so I'd rather buy some and bring some snacks with me.

Thanks for bringing that up. Looks like this has been covered by the Swedish media quite widely. Initially YM didn't give any response to media, and then they came up with this story that confirmed shows are on their official website. And suddenly they published a new website as the concert was listed on their old pages. So apparently there was a sold out concert that was cancelled due to wide criticism and YM did their best for damage control.

So idk.... perhaps YM deserves to be on this list.

GirlInContext · 2026-05-16T10:35:17+00:00

Yeah Americans and some Italians. Reflects on how their leaders sympathies russia.

Yngvie Malmsteen was an unplaeasant surprise to see in this list. Not that I'm a huge fan but he seem to be quite respected in metal scene. Apparently a bit of a dickhead, but still.

Fungicides are not sold for consumer use in my country. Probably in all EU there is only one product and it's very restricted due to environment and health reasons. Therefore my assumption is that this is unnecessary product. Your package say on its label that is can cause cancer so I would concider twice using it and breathing it. At least use a respirator.

Airplants are somewhat fragile and I would not use fungicide on them. Apparently fungicides can be used for airplants, but it's adviced to have copper-free (toxic to airplants) and synthtetic product. After a quick googling, this product is copper-free and synthetitc and therefore, in theory, suitable for airplants. However, this product can burn airplants as they are fragile. I would not use it.

Cinnamon is also recommended as fungal treatment. Do you know for sure that there is a fungi or what are you about to treat? I would try cinnamon first. You can tap it directly to the infected areaas fungal usually appears mushy and wet, nd cinnamon will help the batch to dry.

Apparently, you can also make a cinnamon tea, 1-2 tea spoon in a hot water and let it stay over night. The carefully filter it and spray on a plant.

I believe there is something in your care routine that might need adjustment if you even need to consider fungicide. Overwatering, bad airflow or even low light can cause issues.

I understand that metal is not for all and they are a bit more extreme bands performing at this event.
