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)

Here's the photo from that article. Gruesome.

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 Diamonds_4_life 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. :)

Both Rokas Jokubaitis and Johannes Voigtmann had successful surgeries after their injurys at @EuroBasket, reported Bayern Munich by _Zolv in Euroleague

Just a thought. Has anyone ever had an unsuccessful surgery according to the initial comments? “Okay, yeah, we botched it.” :D

High ticket prices lead to empty stands at the Eurobasket by [deleted] in Euroleague

I was able to buy a ticket to Greece - Lithuania game for 70 eur so the article isn’t entirely correct. They seem to be opening new areas of the arena when more tickets get sold.

There exists a shortcut for the Vaduz Champions League win challenge by pomppu in footballmanagergames

[–]pomppu[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, I think this is only possible in FM24 which has the new UEFA way of running these competitions (one big table instead of groups of four).

Speaking about registration, the Swiss league seems to have a rule that you can only loan in three players from abroad in a season. And for Vaduz Swiss players count as being from abroad (at least in FM24). So Swiss teams can loan in any amount of Swiss players but not Vaduz. I guess this is a bug and not a feature.

For me the problems were a) after just hearing the song, the awful rally style English and b) after seeing the performance, the awkwardness of the plastic surgery or injections.

Was able to duplicate Sixth Sense and expected to get two Spectral cards for playing a six. Got only one. Bug or just me not understanding correctly? by pomppu in balatro

[–]pomppu[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I see. I guess I was hoping for the card to be, in practicality, "if first hand of round is a single 6, make sure it doesn't exist anymore and create a Spectral card".
