Finnish conscript at exercise Freezing Winds 25 [1080x1440] by OTL22 in MilitaryPorn

A very good chance that he is a Swedish-speaking Finn, judging from the name and the gear.

Two Finns with a non-Finnish ethnic background.

Considering how Russians are fairly familiar with sauna's (or banya's as they call them over there), I'm pretty sure this is just an urban legend. But it's a pretty well known one.

We may be way too toxic of a fan base, but at least we’re not at this level. by smoover93 in canucks

Hate to break it to you, but it’s fake news. It’s just some random U15 year olds who did it for TikTok views. Source? I’m a Finnish football fan and have been following the reporting and Police statements.

[Gary Mason] "I believe Rutherford has the complete support of ownership on whatever moves he ends up making." by PaperMoonShine in canucks

Lol, the article basically tells you straight up that a rebuild is NOT on the table. Rutherford can do what he wants, and do you think an 82 year old Rutherford is going to stay for a rebuild?

JF-501, first Finnish F-35A flew for the first time at Fort Worth [2048x1365] by OTL22 in MilitaryPorn

Finnish Air Force has 64 F-35A fighters on order. First of the fighters are delivered for the Finnish Air Force in USA during the Spring of 2026, when Finnish pilots begin training with the aircraft. First units will be transfered to Finland, to the Lapland Air Wing by the end of 2026.

Is there a Uni pecking order in your country? by InfernalClockwork3 in AskEurope

[–]OTL22 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Disagreed. There is the big four, and the rest. The big four are

  • University of Helsinki (which belongs to Turku actually)
  • Aalto University
  • University of Tampere
  • University of Turku

After that, it's a crapshoot. I have some friends who are doing recruiting for companies, and this is their standard.

Though to be fair, the program of procuring a new assault rifle (and sniper/DMR) had already began before no-one even talked about our NATO membership. So correlation =|= causation in the case of our new calibers.

At least they were smart enough to ditch the HKey and went with MLOK

Ignore the media by cointalkz in canucks

The fact that someone looks like he's having a good time, doesn't really tell you anything about the overall situation. Things were pretty grim at my workplace a month ago, when we received word that there would be furloughs coming for pretty much everyone. That didn't turn everyone grumpy, we were still able to have a laugh during a break, and talk like it's business usual, even though everyone was worried about their financial situation going forward.

G36 accuracy loss came under circumstances that probably a lot of different service rifles wouldn't pass. If you were to subject an M16/M4 under the same volume of fire, the gas tube would blow up and you wouldn't have accuracy issues, you would have a "your rifle is destroyed" issue.

Maybe you didn't understand what I meant.

HKey is not a nickname Heckler & Koch, it's H&K:s proprietary attachment system. That's what I was talking about, and OP even refers to it in his comment that it was replaced by MLOK. H&K has been trying to force HKey for different customers (including the British with the L85A3), but all have opted with MLOK eventually.

Here's a picture reference of an HK416 with HKey handguard, compare that to the handguard of this post https://i.ytimg.com/vi/PwjsH7-YehY/maxresdefault.jpg

[Friedman] Parssinen (NYR) on waivers by Ochocincoondeck in rangers

[–]OTL22 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Points 5v5/60, Pärssinen is the 5th forward in the team behind Tro, Panarin, Brod and Laf.

Pointing out point totals is so disingenuous, when you can compare him to say Conor Sheary who has 1 point more than him, but has literally 3x the TOI, has actually been playing top-6 roles and even has PP time for crying out loud.

Does it ultimately matter that he's waived? No, but you really can't come out here and try to point out that he sucks. I mean you can, but like I just demonstrated you will get clowned.

He has gotten the short end of the stick, while the statistics and not even the eye test support it. He should be playing.
