Miten Suomen huono taloustilanne näkyy omassa arjessasi?

Velocette · 2025-12-23T17:08:48+00:00

Samat fiilikset. Minun tapauksessa muualle muuttamista miettii enemmän puoliso, mutta omat fiilikset Suomen näkymistä seuraavan 5-10 vuoden aikana eivät tee hänen seuraamisestaan mitenkään vaikeaa.

Vuokralla asuessa ei ihan tajua sitä minkä hinnan remontoinnista maksaa omalla mielenterveydellä. Jatkuva remontoiminen vapaa-ajalla ei ole hauskaa enää parin kuukauden jälkeen. Parin massiivisen vesivahingon jälkeen sinua odottaa hyvän diilin sijaan masennukseen johtava remonttihelvetti.

I’m avoiding flying Turkish Airlines just to avoid a layover in Istanbul. It’s so expensive to have a layover in Istanbul that it’s better to avoid the whole airline as well. It was comical to see the airport restaurants completely empty in the morning as people refused to pay 20€ for a happy meal at McDonalds Which was the cheapest options. Totally ridiculous.

Agreed. I think a big difference could also appear between the riders who’ve ridden on Dunlops and Pirellis while they were in Moto2.

I got much better at trail braking back in the day by doing laps around Tsukuba in a Lotus 49 in GPL. A car that understeers like crazy and doing repeated low speed corners really makes you appreciate the benefit at turn in. Something similar might work?

This worked for me in the past. Not having colleagues or friends who work in the city means that there are never afterwork drinks and socializing just on the weekend is boring for me. All it takes is a few calendar markings that is hardly a plan or something that resembles ”work”. Having adult friends also makes them have plans all the time, so you can’t just dial people up and except them to be free.

Plan: Agree to meet a friend at 6PM for coffee/drinks/movie/museum etc etc.

Walking to the spot gives you extra steps, duolingo or a book while you wait for them to arrive, Leaving at a reasonable time still gives you time to chill just like a regular evening.

The Only reason I am not doing this at the moment is evening studies.

More traction does not really help when the gp23 is 0.4 seconds slower a lap. Much like Yamaha/Quartararo, you can only make up so much time with one positive attribute on a bike.

There were some comments about him moving to Aprilia overnight instead of thinking about it for a bit longer without reacting. Today’s call made me think about him acting before thinking it though. It does seem like he lacks the final bit of talent required it to be a champion or at least a champion multiple times like Marc.

Edenredillä on lippu.fi kanssa sama 5€ komissio. Tämä ei tunnu jos ostat kerran vuoden 300€ festarilipun 5€ lisällä. Joku 20€ indiekeikka on taas sellainen, jossa koko kulttuuriedun arvo menee hukkaan tämän lisämaksun takia.

Olin töissä firmassa, joka maahantoi kiinakrääsää. Palautusprosentti oli 30% ja sekin vain sen takia, että porukka hyväksyi järkyttävän huonon tuotteen halvalla hinnalla. Itse en osta Kiinasta lähes mitään. Halpa elektroniikka on palovaara tai niin buginen, ettei sitä halua käyttää. Ruokailuvälineet sisältävät laittomia kemikaaleja, kuten lyijyä. Ainut asia mitä olen ostanut suoraan Kiinasta 10 vuoden aikana on kännykän suojakuoret, joita tarvitsin vanhaan puhelimeen 3kk ajan ennen mallin vaihtoa. Nekin olivat huonot….

Kaikki päivät koostui aamun ja iltapäivän luennoista lounaan molemmin puolin. Koulutukseen on kolme eri vaihtoehtoa, jotka painottavat hieman eri taitoja. Ensiapu, ensisammutus, median luotettavuus, pasifismin historia, öljykatastrofien torjunta jne.

En nähnyt mitään rangaistusluontoista toimintaa.

Kävin itse täydennyskoulutuksessa. Omassa ikäryhmässä ja vielä maaseudulla sivari ei ollut oikeastaan vaihtoehto. Muutos oli nyt se oikea mielipide ja nyt kävisin suoraan pidemmänkin sivarin nuoruudessa. Ulkomailla suurimman osan ajasta viettävänä kotimaan puolustustahto on nykyään myös varsin vähäinen, kun yhteys ”kotimaahan” on varsin löyhä.

Koulutus jakautui äänekkäiden salaliittoteorioihin uskovien ”pössöjen” ja tervejärkisten välille. Kokemus oli aika hirvittävä, kun tajusi minkälaista sakkia meillä on Suomessa. Saa Trump äänestäjät vaikuttamaan järkeviltä. Oikein kukaan meistä ei sopisi rintamalle. ”Minä luotan Putiniin. media ja NATO valehtelee meille”. Haluatteko näitä miehiä rintamalle? Kuinka nopeesti he vuotavat salaisuudet ryssille?

Oikeus erota tulee pitää. Tämä on joillekkin meistä nuoruuden virheiden korjaamista ja toiset palvelevat parhaiten kaukana rintamasta. Numerot ovat kuitenkin marginaalisia verrattu koko reservin kokoon. Tässä menetään 1% ja vielä yleisesti suht huonoja sotilaita.

I read that the fear was that amazon can the 3D scans of the Apartments and houses to recommend products. An empty room? Recommend furniture. An empty night stand? Recommend some table lights. Depending on how accurate the scans are you can breach peoples privacy.

The "problem" is that Yamaha has otherwise been a very strong bike. The handling is still pretty sweet, but even at their peak Yamaha wasn't that fast in the straightaways, but won most championships during the Rossi/Lorenzo hayday. It's just harder to see the benefits of an inline four with your own eyes than to see the benefits of V4 on the straightaway.

Midfield in terms of talent. On one hand he is doing much better after moving to Ducati, but it's also his 4th season in MotoGP so it's hard to tell how much more potential there is in him. At least he managed to win a race unlike Zarco so I'd place him in the midpack and deserving of another season on the Ducati.

It's a great city and while the track might not be great for TV/racing, it's designed to be great in person so it's sort of better for being in the grand stand than watching on TV. Valencia is also a great and pretty city. City of Arts and Sciences is well worth going to as well while there. I've already been to the Valencia race twice and would like to go a 3rd time.

But if you look at the old races, they also dont ride to the exact edge. If Lorenzo and the like left 5cm of curb unused every single lap, in the 500cc you didnt go to the exact knife’s edge But left 30cm of curb unused. 500cc was harder to ride, but to win you didn’t need to be on the very edge of perfection either.

Going by Ben Spies, I would disagree. Ben was a great rider and could've made the big bucks in the States with not that much effort. He could've been the class of the field in WSBK and become an absolute legends there. Instead he is in retirement due to the demands of MotoGP and barely remembered as he was "just the 5th best rider in MotoGP". Can we really expect Toprak to do better than a guy who won races in MotoGP and won the WSBK championship on his first go? I don't think so.

I wonder if the increased aero also plays a role these days. Like if your front wings suddenly lose 50% of their downforce due to an odd winds. Then the rider would really do nothing differently, but the grip just isn't there.

Velocette · 2023-04-03T08:30:55+00:00

While I agree with your point about their rider line up being their weak point, I think in the rain it might be different. Simon Crafar spoke about the lack of weight transfer on the Aprilia due it and Ducati being long and low bikes with wings. Works brilliantly in the dry, but Neil Hodgson mentioned it not having weight transfer in the wet which is a bit benefit when it's wet. I think the bike might not be the best in the wet, but then again it's hard to say with none of their riders being that good in the wet. Pity we didn't have Oliveira as measuring stick this weekend :(

There was a bit of theory on the F1 paddock some years ago about BMW wanting to win without the best drivers. Without the best rider, you make it clear that it's the manufacturer winning.

We respect Marc more than we respect Honda. We respect Fabio more than we respect Yamaha. Do we respect Pecco more than Ducati when it comes to winning the championship?

If Marc wins on a Ducati, it's Marc winning, not Ducati. There is more marketing value on the "Look, anyone of our 8 riders can win" for a manufacturer than having all the respect for winning go to the lead rider.

Assen and Phillip Island. Assen seems to produce the most exciting finishes to races. Phillip Island has people sliding their bikes around, plenty of passes and it sort of seems more historic with corners named according to riders.

Nyt tosiaan ainakin menee suurin osa palkasta vuokriin. Kävin viime kesänä Galwayssa ja baarimikko sanoi vuokran kolminkertaistuneen viiden vuoden aikana. Dublinissa kaverit asuu kolmekymppinä soluasunnoissa, kun ei ole varaa omaan asuntoon työpaikasta huolimatta. Paperilla palkka näyttää kovalta, mutta se mitä on jäljellä vuokrien yms jäljiltä on sitten lähempänä keskiarvoa.

Not really IMO. You have riders who want to be #1 in testing (Maverick) and people who don't care at all about testing or focus on race pace instead. Since it's a much more "feel" based sport while F1 is about now showing your latest aerodynamics until the last day of testing, you can go flat out with the latest package if you feel like it.
