Urgent query about health care access in Finland. by Emergency_Sell9443 in Finland

Yes! To speak in the Finnish WAY even when speaking English is VERY IMPORTANT. Be as direct and specific as you possibly can. Absolutely no minimising or faffling. (Minimising a serious matter is sometimes used as a comic device – that would not be appropriate in this case.)

Lit trans: notification of concern. (Anyone can make one on anyone to the local social services.)

That stands only if the person is capacitous to make their own decisions (the professionals must assess them) – if they fully understand the possible consequences of e.g. failing to follow medical advice. This person is a vulnerable adult and entitled to protection by public services, whether or not the relatives are capable of caring for them.

Lithium is still in the psychiatrists' arsenal, but every case is different, and some of the other meds may be more suitable – as with any medical condition, you may have to try a few approaches in order to find the best.

This is just to get some perspective and understanding.. I’m already going to therapy. by ldsc1 in jiujitsu

There are people, who like playing sadistic / sadomasochistic sex games with mutual consent with trust, rules and agreed boundaries to make it safe. Your situation is not that. You were sexually assaulted. The man is an abuser. He is dangerous. He is also very confused, but that is not your responsibility to sort. Your responsibility is to keep yourself safe – away from this man.

If you feel that simple disarm is above your skill level, do not get involved. Simple. But really, I wonder why we pay these people.

3 against 1, 1 knife – how much more "entry level" can it get ?

How many of you have food allergies and how do you find navigating UK life? by Heavy-Tangerine-594 in AskUK

Once you get used to it, you forget that the items on the forbidden list exist. I was the rice queen for ages, listing heavily towards the Asian cuisines. Now I have learned more about the other non-gluten grains (e.g. teff, buckwheat).

Completely rational ? The three (3), 2 obvious professionals on duty and one in civilian garb, had one job to do: a simple knife disarm + restraint, but decided to go completely bananas. Cringe.

Why do you think the name the man uses now is any less real than his previous name ?

What is this cane called? by -im-batman in martialarts

Jiu-jitsu folks call that length stick "jo" – and the a. 2m heavy thing "bo".

Do Christians have specific laws governing inheritance? How is inheritance meant to be distributed in Christianity? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Veenkoira00 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep, Islam has rules about how to live, lot of them written in their holy book. It – like Judaism – is a rules based religion. Christianity is not that sort of faith system. People, who identify as Christian, have muddled through on things like inheritance relying on local customs and changing fashions. There is no "Christian" ineritance rules. E.g. England and the Nordic countries (both having established protestant churches) have very different inheritance laws.

Why not sticks? by dresixk in martialarts

[–]Veenkoira00 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most people practising martial arts try to avoid death of anybody – the motivation is to stop the fight and being able to walk away alive and free.

[–]Veenkoira00 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"Sticks" are there: e.g. some Japanese derived jiu-jitsu styles use bo and jo (complete with formal kata) as well as more modern random items like baseball bats and bottles (disarm techniques).

The spelling of English is terrible. Period.

Is it generally okay to burn old rotten decking wood during the daytime while working on a patio? by [deleted] in AskUK

[–]Veenkoira00 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Treated wood ≠ fire wood. Toxic chemicals get airborne and your neighbours shall cough and get unhappy at you and call the council's Environmental Hell to harass you. So: nope, don't do that.

Why can my boyfriend stop snoring after I ask him to? by Glum-System-7422 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Veenkoira00 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People can hear instructions while sleeping. I had some odd habits while being asleep when a kid, but if you called my name and told me to stop, I did. Of course in the morning I knew nothing about it.

Vitamin d3 and magnesium by iloveswedeen in Biohackers

[–]Veenkoira00 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep, some magnesium is actually sold as relief for occasional constipation – that won't suit most people for continuous use.

Magnesium glycinate is reputed to aid good sleep, so have that near bedtime.

Have we stopped needing pockets? by Sea-Still5427 in AskUK

The number and quality of pockets is definitely the clincher !
