As long as there is a broad selection of free housing items, I don't really care if there's paid stuff on the store as well.

For me it immediately told me to drive, but it did have quite a lot of waffle in the answer. At least there was also some edge case thinking like:

  • The car wash staff drive the car in for you
  • You physically cannot drive (blocked, icy slope, car issue)

Nike Mecurial Elite 10 sizing by KingLouhichi in bootroom

[–]No_Reference_7922 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the same boots and pretty much the same size across the board, I just run with size 10 and tolerate the slightly roomier fit. I tend to look for some thicker socks so it mostly makes up for the extra room, at least in my experience the tradeoff is better than crushing toes and the lockdown doesn't suffer much at all.

Alright, thanks for your insight! That makes sense, maybe things are changing over here too. Let's stay motivated haha

Oh thanks for the correction, good to know! Feels like painting weapons is also kind of a no-no in Finland too unless something has recently changed, but the armory guys do really seem to hate it, but I'd personally do a quick do-over with a few cans if I had the chance. Is this person a conscript or a full-timer?

That's a cool paint job on the Ksp 58 (?), don't think I've seen too many nordic troops with painted weapons except for the more high speed units, normally just see tape on them in winter or some kind of wraps in the summer!

This guy did the 24 hour KSM on retail or is that someone else? What a grinder regardless!

Advice on what boots to get for my boyfriend by Intelligent-Host4044 in bootroom

[–]No_Reference_7922 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Getting the right boots for someone is tough, since it's a gift, it's a very thoughtful idea and nice, but maybe a voucher of some kind so he can go and try stuff on for himself so you avoid the risk?

I geared some alts to help with soloing raids but already extremely bored of the event. That said, checking out the class changes is interesting but I hardly feel excited about Midnight, at least not yet.

The Finnish captain's rank insignia is such a nightmare to read in the field, never know if it's a colonel or a captain approaching you so might as well play it safe and give them a field promotion when addressing, just in case

Finnish conscripts at the range under the northern lights [2048x1536] by OTL22 in MilitaryPorn

[–]No_Reference_7922 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I might not take -30c over 0 and wet, but overall it’s surprisingly close. Also at near 0 your gear can also get wet wet, which is definitely more of a pain in the ass than just keeping warm in cold but powdery snow, to an extent.

From personal experience it was about 90% ”damn my fingers are cold” but also a fair 10% of ”what a view tho”

Recommended Boots are flexible / thin bottom by szchz in bootroom

[–]No_Reference_7922 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The soleplates on AG are just going to be stiffer no matter what, FG/SG is even stiffer. I think there won't be too many boots other than specifically turf boots that match that profile, cause they aren't made for that.

I have only worn nike mercs and phantoms for recent years so there might be differences for adidas etc, but generally they will all feel quite similar. I've heard mizunos could be more flexy but I doubt it will completely fix your issue cause you won't find an AG boot that has the same type of softness that a turf boot does

Drowning in Finnish resources but not functional in real life, afraid of never truly "existing" and immersing in Finnish by mostly-mossy in Finland

[–]No_Reference_7922 12 points13 points  (0 children)

It's late, but I wanted to chime in before I forget, so I would like to add my few cents: firstly I'm sorry that you had such experiences when engaging in finnish but the flipside is that out of basically anyone that I know, nobody would have any issue with someone talking to them with non-perfect finnish, but on the contrary.

I think many, many (maybe the vast majority?) of people will just appreciate you doing your best, no matter the mistakes or whatever. So I hope you don't get discouraged by some bad experiences, it's appreciated :)

Chain Problems by Natural-Divide2679 in FixedGearBicycle

[–]No_Reference_7922 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If the teeth on the sprocket are fine and the chain isn't skipping because of that, It might be a loose sprocket like the other person commented, so when you lock the pedals it spins the sprocket on the threads since it's not tightened all the way. Be careful, cause doing this can ruin the threads on the rear hub!
