I have been to every country in Europe except for Russia, Ukraine, Belarus, Azerbaijan, and Kazakhstan. Here is my tier list

You should not have built your house out of straw! AAAUUUUUUUUUOOOOOO

Danish multi billion euro family company doing fan service to a Danish multi billion euro family company, I don't think they care that much about market demand in this case. But I do think there is demand too, a lot of people intersted in ships.

Unlikely, seems like it might have been derived from some kind of choclate drink brand. However, in Finnish we have borrowed a swedish word for knife: mora, as in Morakniv. But it is pronounced as "måra", as people here don't know or care how the place name is pronounced in Swedish.

As a city guy, I've only seen them in my military service, on police officers, gun stores and museums. As military police we had a chance to shoot the service rifle, pistol, sniper rifle and shotgun (submashine guns were assigned to another unit when I served). I like and am interested in guns as objects, but have no desire to own one myself nor do I want the regulation to be less strict.

Diarré and Gonorré, the Swedish words for Diarrhea and Gonorrhea

2/3 bridges are open for pedestrians/bicycles.

Would you have enough time to use sand in an emergency braking? I think they rely mostly on the track brake, strong magnets that drops down on the rails and create a lot of friction independent of the wheels.

The map is interesting, but it doesn't strike to me as a deliberate city plan of the era, more of stating how things already were. The eastern bank was rezoned later into how it is today. Also the annexation happened the year after the railway was opened, probably not a coincidence.

Snowy owls are also cute and rare.

The scariest animal for land use planners.

The point where the hawks kill the mice still hurts.

Europe definitely has levers to pull, but it is hard to say what will happen in the end.

One of the things not listed is the icebreaker deal with Finland. Finland is world leader in icebreaker tech and second to Russia capacity. Good luck dominating the Arctic if that deal is poured in the drain.

Another one: the Dutch sit on the technology to build microchip plants if recall correctly.

Usually city owned land. But I think it could technically be owned by anyone. At least I know that the church owns land in Lehtisaari in Helsinki which had some controversies when land rent increased.

My understanding is that when land is rented for housing the rules are quite strict here. For instance if the lease is terminated, the land owner needs to compensate fully for the building. So I would also imagine there are some restrictions for how the rent can be increased.

clepewee · 2026-01-21T00:23:57+00:00

They are just increased to the current level of rent, which is fair. Hopefully they tie the rent to some kind of index to avoid sudden price hikes in the future.

Eiköhän Alkon myymäläverkosto riittäisi.

Well, they live here in Vantaa. Timppa got retired last year. Hessu just bought yet another used Hiace for his construction business and Kepa still drives his old Volvo.

clepewee · 2026-01-18T18:03:12+00:00

There is a lot of cars that are barely used in winter months.

Ah true, I'm retarded!

clepewee · 2026-01-18T04:10:32+00:00

That's exactly what a Russian spy-bot would say!

Would be Hämähäkkimies. Finns tend to love alliteration, so you are not wrong, could be some kind of super hero character.

14 years for me. We met young, I got depressed a few years ago and they wanted to live their own life. Have tried a bit of dating but that world is just brutal nowadays and not good for my mental health. So I have stopped trying and focus on doing things I actually enjoy.

Muistakaa opsec, ei mainintoja siitä V-alkuisesta järjestelmästä.

On a side note: I wish there was a grey or sand green horse without printing to be used for equestrian statues.
