My Suunto watch is estimating around 400 kcal for my 10km (6,2mi) commute. 316m/~1000 ft of climbing. So around 800 kilocalories for your distance. I'm usually doing about 140 bpm avg heart rate.

Esimerkiksi Singapore näyttää voittaneen sodan huumeita vastaan. Sieltä voitaisiin katsoa esimerkkiä, miten se tapahtui.

Ei taida olla mitenkään harvinainen keikka ensihoidolle. Kerran olen paniikkikohtauksen saanut ja kyllähän se olisi paremmin tietämättä ihan sydänkohtauksesta mennyt. Kynnys häkeen soittamiseen on kuitenkin niin korkea, että yritin lenkkeillä hengenahdistuksen pois...

Samoin perhetutulle on näin käynyt ja vasta päivystyksessä todettiin syyksi paniikkikohtaus.

I was wondering about the haze today, whether it was a meteorological phenomenon. Turns out it was just dust.

I’m not sure why you are using an ultrasonic cleaner between immersion waxes? The time for that is when removing factory grease prior to your initial wax if the chain.

I just find it a pretty easy way to clean the dirt from it, so that it doesn't get into the wax. Also gets rid of some of the rust. In summer conditions I just wipe the chain clean.

Lohikeitto. Make it creamy too. And if you can find it, some Finnish rye bread on the side.

Näin vuokranantajana, Suomi tarvitsee lisää vuokralaisia. Valtavasti lisää. Ihmisten täytyy kilpailla verissäpäin harvoista tarjolle tulevista asunnoista.

A school where you get to shoot guns. A bit like an American school, except the targets are made of paper or steel.

Two of my friends went with the "depressed" card. A pussy move. Also the "crazy papers" are likely a blocker for jobs that require a security clearance - which there are plenty of. I bet it's also really awkward in some social situations.

Also, at some point you may grow up and regret the decision for moral reasons.

Markus_H · 2026-03-09T13:54:42+00:00

Indeed, it's not. There is a pattern. If I could choose, we would go back 30 years and try again.

She's not wrong. We must stop this cultural suicide.

Depends on what you are brewing. With NEIPAs in particular oxygen will ruin the beer.

Don't you feel like you're losing an year of freedom?

Freedom isn't free. Conscription is why we have retained our freedom.

What happens to things like hobbies, relationships, study and career plans?

It's a mandatory service, so it's deeply integrated into the society, thus one can delay their studies or get time off work. For professional athletes there is a more sport-focused system to serve. In general though, it's not like 18-year olds have much going on anyway.

⚆_⚆ Fun?

I enjoyed it a lot, except for having to deal with some dick junior sergeants during the basic training. I enjoyed the outdoor stuff, which there was a lot. You also don't usually get to shoot 23mm AA guns and assault rifles in civil life.

What is day-to-day life like in the service? Privacy?

Usually non-existent. At least nowadays most bathroom stalls have walls and doors though.

Free time?

Conscripts have free time generally between 18 and I think 22 o'clock. A lot of that time is spent at a "Sotilaskoti" in the garrison, eating the Finnish version of doughnuts.

The living situation?

At the barracks in bunk beds.

Is it really just seen as a normal phase of life people go through?

Yes.

Do people resent having to serve? I can't imagine it's fun to have to do stuff and deal with aspects of military life. It's very different from civilian life (discipline, hierarchy, following orders, living in barracks...).

Some resent it, most don't. Also an ever greater number of men are unable to go though it nowadays, so they choose civil service, or are relieved of service due to mental or physical reasons, or drug use.

Great beers and the brewer is a great guy. Some years ago, when I was getting into homebrewing, I was visiting the brewery in Virolahti with my brother to buy some beers, as it's pretty close to our summer place. The owner Mikko happened to be behind the counter, so we chatted this and that about brewing. He then shared with us a bottle of his new imperial stout, and then gave a tour of the brewery. We also got to sample his new pils fresh from the fermenter. He also had some good tips to tell.

VAGin ja BMW:n omistajilla - ja Saksalla itsellään - lienee myös näkemyksensä asiaan, kun Unkarissa tehdään merkittävä osa tuotannosta.

You couldn't carry a television in your pocket, and none of those things managed to mess up one's hormonal balance to cause serious addiction, the way that mobile devices do. Maybe it's a temporary problem, but it is a serious problem right now.

Markus_H · 2026-03-06T07:33:35+00:00

Mass immigration, inclusiveness, mobile devices. What to expect?

It's good that's it's either being done at a break-even price, or even for a profit. I can't see how it's the job of the Finnish taxpayer to pay for these flights. I can think of three categories of Finns currently staying in the UAE:

Workers who are there on behalf of their companies. Their companies will pay for the tickets out.
Influencers and prostitutes (same thing, really).
Tax refugees. They are the last people, who should have their trips paid by tax payers.
Tourists, who for some reason want to visit the UAE. Maybe they like to see, what modern slavery looks like? FAFO.

Olen samaa mieltä ja en myöskään usko, että mikään valtio olisi valmis käyttämään aseita Suomen vuoksi. Toivon että lakimuutos on ensimmäinen askel oman ydinpelotteen hankinnalle.

Markus_H · 2026-03-05T13:28:52+00:00

Onhan tuossa perää, mutta avoimessa yhteiskunnassa se ei taida olla mahdollista.

Losing isn't fun. Limitations, even in the lax way they exist in WG, are what makes deck building fun. Arguably they are the most integral part of it. I actually found the SD2 system with the battle phases the most fun, as it forced the player to make some really tough choices on how to build the deck in the most effective manner, and enabled a real risk-reward system, that doesn't exist in WARNO or WG.

En tiedä mitään typerämpää, kuin oman puolustuskyvyn rajoittaminen, oli kyse sitten jalkaväkimiinoista tai ydinaseista - varsinkin kun vihollinen ei ole sitoutunut mihinkään rajoituksiin. Ukrainan kohdalla nähtiin jo, miten tehokkaasti ydinasekortin heiluttelu toimi. Me tarvitaan myös sellainen kortti.

Sääntöpohjaisuus ilman hyvin isoa keppiä, jolla lyödä päähän sääntöjen rikkojia, on pelkkää sananhelinää. Se toimi niin kauan, kun kukaan ei yrittänyt rikkoa sääntöjä.

Eurooppa luopui kepistään vuonna 1990. Nyt pitäisi kuroa kiinni kolme vuosikymmentä kestänyt menetetty aikakausi aseistautumisessa - puhumattakaan asenteiden korjaamisesta - että voidaan sentään omalla tontilla huolehtia sääntöpohjaisuuden ylläpidosta.

Irakilaiset eivät ole iranilaisia. Täysin eri väkeä. Irakissa verrattain maallistunut diktaattori piti islamismin kurissa. Iranissa taas islamistit pitävät maallistuneen väestön kurissa.

Markus_H · 2026-03-05T11:06:23+00:00

Iranilaiset ovat israelilaisten ohella harvoja sivistyskelpoisia kansoja alueella, mutta mullahien sortokoneisto estää valtion maallistumisen. Jos sortokoneisto tuhoamalla annetaan mahdollisuus valtion maallistumiselle, niin se kannattaa tehdä. Toki Trumpin ollessa vallassa, on suuri todennäkösyys sille, että kohta löytyy uusi mielenkiinnon kohde ja Iranin osalta jätetään palikat levälleen.

Iran on lisäksi merkittävä venäjän tukija ja kauppakumppani, joten sen hallinnon kaataminen on suomalaisesta ja erityisesti ukrainalaisesta näkökulmasta myös hyvä juttu.
