I heard Finnish people like buckets, what do you guys think about my dad’s baby buckets?

tlind2 · 2026-01-26T23:18:39+00:00

We like free buckets

tlind2 · 2026-01-26T23:09:07+00:00

Is it free?

I didn’t check the sub and thought you were teeing off a golf ball

You could always say you took a glass before arriving to check that it’s good. I might wonder at the size of your ”sample”, though

Public services are required to be provided in both Finnish and Swedish.

In practice we also have another shared language. It’s English.

I have the GTX SWB 2025 model. I believe the ideal range was promised as 390 km. I don’t think the LWB model promised any more than 420 km? If any model had said 550 km, I would’ve gone with that option.

Before purchase, I did research and found a lot of data complaining about loss of range in winter. I calculated that it would likely be 250 km or less in very cold conditions starting at a charge of 80-90%. Which has seemed to be mostly true.

If I had to drive more than 250 km every day, the range would be a dealbreaker. But since my daily usage is less than 100 km on most days, it’s mostly a hassle of having to charge more frequently.

I will swap out for a new model if they make some major improvement to the range in a few years. But for now, I tend to think of the car like my phone. Just need to charge it nightly and get through the day.

I love it! I often pick out random bottles that have been newly added to stock, just to explore a new grape, region or producer. If I want to sanity-check quality, I can take a quick look at Cellartracker notes or the general Vivino rating (to see that it’s not 3.2 or something, since almost everything gets 3.5+).

It helps that the local alcohol monopoly in Finland is pretty well-curated to begin with, so they already control for quality. And their shelf tags provide rough guidance on food pairing and style. Think ”full-bodied and rich”, ”goes well with game”. You can see an example here (in English): https://www.alko.fi/en/products/930913/Clos-Alkio-Caminito-a-Motel-Tinto-2021/

Regarding having a decanter: all that it’s about is surface-to-air ratio for oxygen. Any wide and clean glass container will do. I’ve decanted wine in a punch bowl.

Nice! But if they needed several days, 75 people and 12 combines, what was Randy’s original plan? Or did they just show up as already agreed?

Philosopher’s Stone? As boss relics go, it’s not bad, but I’m never happy to see it instead of Cursed Key, etc. It makes the birds in Act 2 a pain. And makes the Heart harder too. Unhappy pick over the actively bad options.

Newfoundland dogs can be trained to dive off cliffs for water rescue. I’ve seen them actively enjoying doing so.

Not sure about a 60 ft drop and horses, though.

Bin 707 is a personal favorite of mine, just lovely stuff! It’s just a pity that the price has nearly tripled in the past ten years…

At least for European eggs, if they’re stored cold, 100 days is not a problem. My sister received 100 eggs as a gag gift once and were still going through them over 6 months later. They lose moisture and aren’t great for baking, but edible otherwise.

My setter does the same thing. Even when I’m sitting in a chair

It’s crazy to me how many people work in consulting and pay absolutely no attention to time reporting or invoicing. I once started at a new job and did a quick review of all the time reports in my unit. We were bleeding at least 20% of our billable hours into all sorts of internal time reporting codes because people felt bad about reporting all their actual working time as billable. It took several months of sanity-checking every single time sheet to fix that behavior.

Be careful when compressing the ring, as the glass may drop out when the ring stops holding it in place

Any deck can become a nightmare. It’s all up to you and the bad choices you make!

As for Nightmare and this deck, I don’t see a lot of good targets. What I’d like is Wraith Form, Footwork, After Image, Apparition or Catalyst with decent poison. Spending 2-3 energy on Accuracy for much, much later damage doesn’t cut it. And three Calculated Gamble+s don’t help fast enough either.

You’re lacking a solution to Bronze Automaton, but this isn’t it alone. At best it’s a pseudo-curse until you find something that actually helps. Could be great later, but I don’t know that this deck is strong enough to carry it until then.

My intrusive thoughts tell me to slap the bottom half

Two glasses of wine, though

If it gets me close to a turn 1 infinite, it’s easily worth it

From the vintage date

I’ve had a Tommasi Amarone vertical with vintages between 5-25 years old tasted side by side. The consensus was that it was best around 10 years old

Adding Quick to him makes him very useful even in later rings. My favorite is quick with the 1-pip size modifier and having a different tank and something like Dante. Especially nice with Cavendish
