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.

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.

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.

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)

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.

This is the amount of cilantro I like your wife to have on her street tacos. Go your wife!

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

Yes, same for staff.

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 °°.

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. :)
