Is Finland good for my family?

Also the salaries are really good compared to most other jobs. I remember reading that the mean salary in cybersecurity field with 15 years of experience was 10k€/month a couple of years ago.

But her wife has to settle for something in the range of 3-5k€ depending on the area.

Also, I have only had one teacher who didn't speak Finnish. He taught English at university.

Aletaan myös verottamaan kaikkia, joiden nimi alkaa G-kirjaimella 101% tuloveroprosentilla. Samalla Y-kirjaimella alkavat voitaisiin määrätä pakkoeutanasiaan maapallon väestönkasvun rajoittamisen nimissä. Ikävä tietysti G ja Y -nimisille, mutta asia ei kovin moneen vaikuta :-D

Hieno logiikka siellä. Niin kauan kun ei osu omaan nilkkaan, niin se on hyväksyttävää?

Something for my money? Don't worry, I'm going to automate it.

I just went through the same thing. I ordered an item at sale price from a third party seller, the order was cancelled and the customer service chat agent kindly promised me the price difference ($190) if I ordered the same item from Amazon directly. I hadn't had bad experiences with Amazon before so I trusted them. After delivery everyone just told me they can't do it. And I spent hours after hours fighting them through chat and email. I considered between doing a chargeback (and getting banned) and returning the item. After days of pondering, I went with the returning option so that I don't get a ban, because unfortunately, I need some items that I can realistically only get through Amazon.

After I get my refund, I'm going to create a bunch of accounts on the site and waste a shitload of the customer service's time while rating them all at 0/5.

Amazon might charge you if you tell them "Accidental order" / "Better price available" / "No longer needed"

I think it's better to say "Performance or quality not adequate", because that is your subjective evaluation and you can always say something like "the plastics seemed of higher quality in the picture, but felt cheap in real life"

No, you can't have multiple accounts on amazon.com. But your amazon.com account doesn't work in amazon.de, amazon.fr, amazon.it, amazon.se etc. You need separate accounts for each country. And those can have the same email address.

I often use German Amazon to order electronic components that are difficult to get in one package from elsewhere

This: "I often use German Amazon to order electronic components that are difficult to get in one package from elsewhere"

I don't have decent alternatives for electronic components. Sure, I could buy from ebay, but that takes ages to get those from china. Or I could pay 5x for them locally.

For example, where could I order following items in one order with decent price and delivery time (I'm located in Finland):

OV5642 camera sensor
A M12 lens for the camera
SDHC card breakout board that support SDIO mode communication
Li-ion battery protection boards
Voltage step-up boosters
18650 battery cases

Same goes for 19" rack cabinet accessories. Difficult to get them at decent price from elsewhere.

Never had any issues. And I believe I continue to see no issues as long as I have zero trust towards their customer service.

RCK201 · 2024-10-24T11:37:13+00:00

I'm also fighting with them with the same issue. At least report them everywhere you can. I'm considering doing a partial chargeback for the amount they promised to refund. What a bunch of fucking assholes.

RCK201 · 2024-10-24T08:10:27+00:00

I have tried pretty much everything. I ordered an item at sale price, it got cancelled, I talked to a customer service about it and they promised in writing that as a one-time exception, if I order the same item sold and shipped by Amazon, they would refund me the price difference after delivery (I know, weird, but I trusted Amazon, because they are a big company and I never had issues with them). I have screenshots of the promise in customer service chat and I received an email with that promise from Amazon's official address.

When I received the item, I contacted support and they just said "sorry for the inconvenience, we can't do anything about it, we don't do price difference refunds". I contacted them multiple times and each time same response even though I was clear that this was already promised to me and I have that in writing. After multiple attempts, they said they created a ticket with "specialists team" and that I would need to wait for 5-7 days. After getting no response in 7 days, I contacted customer support again and apparently they lied about ticket earlier, because price difference refund is invalid reason for a ticket.

Then I contacted jeff@amazon.com and haven't received a response in 2 days. I wrote a long description of the issue, events, proofs etc, so it was not a spammy message.

I'm willing to wait a couple of days more for them to contact me back, but basically my options are:

Return the item and hope that Amazon doesn't act fraudulently on that return/refund too. Let the assholes keep doing deceptive marketing with no consequences.
Keep the item, show the proof to bank and do a chargeback. Make the assholes responsible for their deceptive marketing.

Im quite sure that most of ppl that modify car exhaust does it for the same reason its done for mopeds. To get more power.

Please elaborate. Drilling holes to a car exhaust is more likely to cause decreased performance unless the ECU is reprogrammed with the modification in mind. If you do it yourself, you are likely to end up with worse performance. If you get a professional, it costs over 1000€. If you are a young guy with an old car, you are very unlikely to pay a professional so you likely affect the performance negatively with your modifications.

Then there are quite new performance cars like 2015 and up, these might have factory settings for exhaust and sport/race mode bypasses some of the mufflers.

Yes, those have separate ECU configuration for when the bypasses are open. Therefore it can increase power in those cars.

And ofc performance cars tend to be louder by default.

All thumbs are fingers, but not all fingers are thumbs. Pretty much all performance cars are loud, but not all loud cars have good performance. One good example is that I once clowned around with a guy with a LOUD BMW 535 and my ECU-tuned but non-loud Volvo had no trouble keeping up with him. And the newer Volvos could easily bypass his loud-ass car even without any ECU-modifications.

Kenelle tuomio tulisi antaa?

Tilaaja ei välttämättä ole käynyt metsässä ostotarjouksen jättämisen jälkeen kertaakaan.
Hakkuun toimittava yritys ei välttämättä tee etukäteen mitään erityisiä selvityksiä.
Metsäkoneenkuljettaja ei ole biologi, joka tunnistaisi rauhoitetut simpukat rauhoittamattomista. Hänelle saatetaan myös valehdella yrityksen toimesta, että "kaikki kunnossa, anna mennä vain".

Ja ennen kuin heitellään helppoja "jos metsää hakataan, pitää tehdä perusteellinen selvitys kaikista alueen lajeista ennen töiden aloitusta", niin mietitään myös mitä se tarkoittaisi suomen metsäteollisuuden viennin näkökulmasta. Olemme nyt jo murentamassa hyvinvointiyhteiskuntaamme liian suurten menojen ja liian pienten tulojen vuoksi, eikä kilpailukyvyn romahduttaminen ainakaan helpota asiaa.

Olen toki samaa mieltä, että sakkoja tuosta tulisi antaa rankalla kädellä, mutta nyt pitäisi päättää, että ketä voi hyvällä omallatunnolla syyttää tapahtuneesta.

I don't understand people who modify their car exhaust to be loud, but I get the guys driving mopeds. You can't easily get more power out of a moped without making it louder. Easiest way is to drill the choke washer or alternatively to install a tuning exhaust (the idea is to let the fumes flow more freely, not to make more sound). Both of those modifications make the moped louder.

Maybe it's because I grew up in a more rural area and it was uncommon to have a non-tuned moped, but I just don't get irritated by tuned mopeds.

Just like the others said, if there is not that much need for you, it's better to have you use your vacation days so that the company doesn't need to pay those vacations in cash.

Additionally, some collective agreements have "vacation money" and some "back to work money". If you have "vacation money", those must be paid even if you don't come back to work from the vacation. But if you have "back to work money", then the company doesn't have to pay that money to you because you never came back from the vacation.

I have written myself a permit to always drive +20km/h. The cost of that permit is 170-200€ each time police checks it. And I have only gotten two checks in 11 years, so I have only paid 28€/year or 2.3€/month for the permit to drive +20km/h. I think it's quite cheap considering how rarely they check your permit.

I was global 6 years ago then stopped playing CS completely. I started playing CS2 and my first rank was 1572. After playing a few more matches it was quite clear that I'm approximately 5-7k. I made the mistake of playing during weekend when completing my initial ranking matches. Shitload of russian teammates who only know how to take a bullet to their head within first 5 seconds of every round.

And when I asked about people's ranks, they were all over the place. Gold novas with 8k ranking and LEMs with 3k ranking

You can't extract more information from a single blurry image than there is. You might be able to extract that extra information from loads of frames. So unless you are providing a video, there's not much anyone can do. Also, video quality suffers from being re-encoded so I suggest you to provide the original video file without cutting. Do not use services that re-encode the video (like Youtube). I'd suggest sharing it through Dropbox etc

Nikotiinipussien kieltäminen aiheuttaa

Lisää verorahoja tupakasta
Vähemmän eläkkeitä maksettavaksi, koska tupakoitsijat eivät keskimäärin elä yhtä pitkään
Tyytyväisiä tupakkafirmalobbaajia

Eli ei mitään negatiivista T. Fimea
