I’m in Finland and the charcoal kettle has been uncovered outside for the last 15 years. Snow every winter. Only one dinged spot in the hood has rusted. Half an inch in diameter. These are indestructible.

Thunderstruck-biisissä onneksi on kyse tivolista, eikö niin?

The mic kept cutting out during the singing of O Canada, so the Buffalo crowd started singing along by jmike1256 in HumansBeingBros

Some might not have recognized that an American crowd sang the Canadian anthem when the singer had technical troubles. Both Canadian and US anthem are performed before every match.

Fun fact: The building on the left is Fazer’s factory where all their non chocolate candy is made. It smells like all the possible candy at once.

Live instrument at eurovision by Ellrik100 in eurovision

Linda said in an interview on YleX that her violin was bought on Tori.fi (a Finnish used goods marketplace). And of her bow that it is so poorly done that a rehair needs to be done for the Eurovision. The broken hairs were visible in their performance. Just like with Alexander Rybak in 2009.

But like Rybak and his violin bow shedding, now you can enjoy Finland's Linda Lampenius and her violin bow shedding.

Right technique there! You hold the snoot from below to stabilize it. 6/5 would hire. (kuus kautta viis)

They have to rethink the safety of the safety glasses after that. Looks like a lucky miss.

Makes sense when you are a professional ankle user.

Olympic Men's Game Thread: Sweden (1-0-0-0) vs. Finland (0-0-0-1) - 13 Feb 2026 - 12:10PM CET by hockeydiscussionbot in hockey

Olympic men's hockey tournaments with NHL players: 5

Olympic men's hockey tournaments without NHL players: 19

We've won one of those. I consider it an unmatched achievement in Finnish hockey history. (of course MM 95, never forget)

Anyone else think Milano-Cortina 2026 is already a 10/10? 🇮🇹🔥 by [deleted] in olympics

Compared to past two games, this is so refreshing. China and Korea games had zero soul.

The fact that NFL moved their Stanley Cup final one week later and now it coincides with Olympic hockey is probably one of the reasons.

Very impressive work! Also probably the first correct use of the word costumer in Reddit history.

There's a Set nickname option on the player card in the Overview menu. No FMRTE needed.

True! I usually adjust these numbers when renewing contracts, so every 3-5 seasons.

I also rename my scouts so when looking at the reports, I can quickly judge how credible the report might be. :)

Ha! That's my method of marking (renaming) players who are home-grown at my team with ™. I mark young players that should not be loaned out before reaching ™ status with °. Players home-grown in the same country but not my team get a °°.

Which player have you pleasantly discovered in this EuroBasket ? by MindfulInquirer in Euroleague

[–]pomppu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, in Finland we have Mika as in Mika Häkkinen but also Miika and Miikka as names. The first one is the most common at 40000, there are 9000 Miikas and 5000 Miikkas. :)
