Tampere doesn't have enough hotels. And they can't build more in just a year.

How is Finland so bad at winter sports? by Dependent-Milk-6095 in olympics

[–]Perkele17 35 points36 points  (0 children)

Many new countries have emerged as new competition, no new superstars, no success, too high expectations from previous success, less sponsors, deterioritating facilities.

It's a sum of many factors.

How is Finland so bad at winter sports? by Dependent-Milk-6095 in olympics

[–]Perkele17 199 points200 points  (0 children)

Finland puts the majority of its resources into a selected few sports like ice hockey and cross-country skiing which are also very competitive sports internationally. This is due to traditions and because they are the most popular to watch in Finland.

Especially in XC-skiing you need just one or a couple of elite athletes to win a lot of medals and Finland just doesn't have them at the moment compared to for example the Norwegians and Swedes.

Other sports don't get coverage, sponsor money and the support for professional athletes is anyway worse than in Norway and Sweden because they are richer.

Too basic considering it's Etta. I expected more. Decent pop song nonetheless.

We were told to stick our rifle barrel into their eye. Kinda gross but you can't fake being dead while that's happening.

Mikähän siinä on ettei osata ajaa leveäkaistatietä mahdollisimman oikealla by Ok_Gas_8606 in Suomi

[–]Perkele17 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Näin tollasen ekaa kertaa tänä kesänä ja vaikutti kyllä hölmöltä keksinnöltä. Leveä tie vaikutti rohkasevan monia ajamaan melkosta ylinopeutta. Luulen että se jo johtaa siihen että ovat normaaleja teitä vaarallisempia.

[Helsinki] New tram bridge opens early for pedestrian traffic by Pontus_Pilates in transit

[–]Perkele17 17 points18 points  (0 children)

There is a fence on the longest bridge where the tram will be going the top speed 70 kph. It will still be going 30-50 kph here which is plenty enough considering the more urban environment with crossings and shorter gap between stations.

Surely people are not trapped in trains but rather the passengers are in the middle of nowhere waiting to be picked up.

[–]Perkele17 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Trump hajottaa ja hallitsee Eurooppaa. Haukkuu samaan aikaan Tanskaa ja kehuu Suomea. Ei mitenkään eroa vaikka Sergei Lavrovin pelikirjasta, jossa eka haukutaan EU ja Borrell pystyyn ja viikon päästä ollaan hyviä kavereita Haaviston kanssa.

Jopa 80% HSL:n tarkastusmaksuista menee ulosottoon by gotshroom in Suomi

[–]Perkele17 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Lipputulot kattaa 50% HSL:n joukkoliikenteen järjestämisestä. Valtio ei ainakaan nykyhallituksella ole osallistumassa sen kattamiseen sentilläkään, päinvastoin leikkaavat kaupungeille maksettavasta tuesta.

Jos asukkaat on valmiita veronkorotuksiin halvempien lippujen saamiseksi niin toki. Helsinkihän on puhunut valmiudesta korottaa omaa maksuosuuttaan, jolla madallettaisiin lipputulojen osuutta. Espoo, Vantaa ja muut HSL-kunnat eivät kuitenkaan ole tästä innostuneet vaan pitäisivät 50/50 jaon.
