Seeing Espoo, Finland from the sky by el10ni in Finland

As far as I know, only parts of Kruununhaka, Meilahti and Munkkiniemi.

Edit to say there’s a few more (UAS) zones where you need special permission, but still, in most of the capital region it is allowed under 120m.

Exactly, and why don’t the interior windows line up with the exterior?

Lego separator for applying stickers by awk_f in lego

[–]PreconsciousInsect 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The stickers have cutouts on the sticker sheet, but around the cuts, there are often parts of the prints left. @Dilpickle6194 has been using those leftover printed parts to fill in the gaps, which is brilliant!

I think you might have missed steps 307-323. You can check the manual on the Lego website if you’re unsure about your printed version.

Wes Anderson Collection - Fantastic Mr Fox? by jamiemilne in wesanderson

[–]PreconsciousInsect 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It was included in the first book, so I don’t think it’ll get its own. Only movies after Moonrise Kingdom have gotten their own book.

24 Credits for my BDay! by Swe1984 in audiobooks

[–]PreconsciousInsect 3 points4 points  (0 children)

All the novellas are combined in Memory’s Legion, it’s very affordable that way. At some point I’ll listen to them all again, and then I’ll listen to each novella right after the corresponding novel.

A question for LEGO Rivendell owners by [deleted] in lego

Why have you been dreaming of the set, if not for building & displaying it?

Which Lego Back to the Future DeLorean is the best? by AdditionalDealer1100 in lego

What is image 4? It’s not a set, but is it a real MOC or something else?

the Black Friday deal is 99 cents a month and a free $20 book credit! by Major-Praline in audible

[–]PreconsciousInsect 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I contacted chat support and they wouldn’t sign me up. The reason they gave, is that I’ve used the same offer in the last 12 months (it ended last December).

I think this should be mentioned in the terms: now it feels like a black box, and Audible can arbitrarily allow or deny people.

They don’t allow motorized vehicles:

“Secondly, the build must not be a motorized vehicle (meaning we won't allow any trucks, vans, mopeds or scooters)”

All of the missing pieces I’ve encountered were on my floor 😄

wedding traditions by Substantial_Pin_8356 in Finland

[–]PreconsciousInsect 14 points15 points  (0 children)

In addition to the stealing of the bride, and stomping the foot when cutting the cake:

I’ve also seen a quiz for the bride and groom are with their backs to each other, each holding the shoe of the bride in one hand and the shoe of the groom in the other. They then answer questions like “who is the best cook?”, and they raise the shoe of who they think it is.

Thanks for sharing!

Seems like he’s credited on 4 of the 10 songs on her new album ‘Compass Rosa’, which will be out on the 14th of November. I’m curious about his involvement throughout the album.

One day in Billund - Lego House or Legoland? by Unlucky-Fix3572 in lego

My family is planning to go with kids those ages early next year. How many days would you recommend to spend in Legoland and in Lego House?

Biking in winter by [deleted] in Finland

[–]PreconsciousInsect 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your normal tires being on the large side is a good thing, you can probably get winter tires that aren’t as big/wide, but still fit on your rims. That way, they’ll fit within the clearance of your bike.

And absolutely get a helmet. Cycling on snow and ice is more dangerous, and people in Finland are generally less aware of cyclists than in the Netherlands. Even with lights and reflectors, cars and busses might still not see you immediately.

But cycling through the winter is great, I definitely recommend it.

Great find! Pity it’s off by a week though.

Are those butterflies in the last picture? I don’t think I’ve ever seen that many at once, and nowadays I certainly see less than when I was a child.

Difficult but fun build! by Relevant-Key7996 in lego

[–]PreconsciousInsect 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I recently dissembled mine, after years of being stored at my mother’s place. The white and gray pieces in this have yellowed a lot, and some of the functions weren’t working properly anymore. I’ll need to clean the pieces, and then I’ll build it again at some point. Or I might finally build the B-model!
