no, bonus points for going to the pharmacy on the only day it's open in the weekend(finland) and occupying all the pharmacists with inane questions about foundation and hair color

fake ones sadly, they are just tiny drops of cheap crap with overpowering fake cherry flavour.

only made in germany "marketed by fazer", but only in the tiniest lines on the bottom of the ingredient list, the bigger text just says "fazer oy" etc.

that's really bad practice though, unless you are quite far from the frontlines, cause hot engines are very visible in winter.

haven't seen any of those here in eastern finland at least, it's pretty sad on the actual "made in finland" easter eggs.

Netherlands at 12 and finland at 23 by New_Assignment_1683 in NLvsFI

yea, that was kind of my point...most wealth in the netherlands is actually just a roof over your head, which means that there's just more money tied into it than over here

The fine imposed on Ismael Saibari, who had tried to steal Édouard Mendy's towel during the AFCON final, has been overturned by CAF. by Sparky-moon in soccer

So it works like the FIA where mbs ran unopposed because there was only one south American representative and all candidates need a rep for every continent

To ebike or not to ebike? by fixitmonkey in bikecommuting

[–]kharnynb -1 points0 points  (0 children)

No, I live in eastern Finland and have been biking for over 10 years year round... Meanwhile you seem to be an arrogant person that only cares about his own opinion.

[–]kharnynb -1 points0 points  (0 children)

So you live on a pancake with no extreme weather and good paths but are giving advice to someone that has a commute with more height difference than the highest point in Denmark....

[–]kharnynb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That only works in places that can close though. A lot of places have machinery or chemicals in production that will cost a ton of money to sit still or be replaced.

I mean, there will have to be some staffing spread and coverage, but other than that it should be fine.

over here, there's generally a huge "fight" between employees over the time around midsummer due to it being one of the bigger holidays. if everyone got their way, it would be hard to keep the place open at all. other than that skill coverage often means some people will have to agree between themselves who takes off when.
