UK was not a founding member.

To be fair, Mika Aaltola is known in Finland as a noted populist and doomsayer that has a flair for the dramatic. His foreign policy predictions have also been pretty much all wrong since before the start of war in Ukraine.
I'd take anything he says or leaks with a big spoon of salt.
Tried it with a Nvidia card. The graphics were oddly blurry and grainy, especially anything in shadows, no matter the settings. Couldnt get past that. I'm not going to play potentially dozens of hours of nausea simulator.
Interesting. In finnish the word for art is 'taide'. It's etymological root word is 'taito', which means skill.
Alright, thank you! I'll keep this in mind.
Good way to debloat Windows from much of its bullshit is to warez Revo Uninstaller Pro. It gets rid of Onedrive, Edge (not webview v2 though) and other Microsoft bullshit.
Still gonna make the switch to Linux in the end of this year though. Fuck me and my gaming rigs Nvidia card... Hopefully it wont be too arduous.
Well
This is, quite literally, same as Jews for Hitler -movement in pre-The War Germany. There are shades of grey in everything, and everyone. You can be bad or the side of bad people, even if you are a minority.
Puolustuspa, perkele.
Well to be honest FUCK YOU! Many thousands of horses died defending Finland from Russian aggression, so fuck you. Many of the not killed horses also returned to their previous owners in Finnish farms, traumatized. Those horses were also called War Veterans, but also War Victims.
Leave animals out of the evil humans do. They havent decided to be there. FUCK YOU, ASSHOLE.
Did Moebius design this?
This reminds me of a good lesson my uni IT/video shooting & editing teacher often said: "Your problem is not about what the computer does, it's what you clicked it to do. Stop. Think for a momenent."
Was same in Finland, we also nowdays just apply a income dependant tax here.
Finn here. Its just a drone with a claymore -equivelant explosive strapped to it. Advanced is a bit of a stretch, but hopefully we'll get some battlefield data and results soon.
I'd fund a tv series about Rendevouz with Rama -book series. Yes, the whole series, even the crappy, goofy books not written by Clarke. Though I'd probably try to tone down the incest that goes on in some of those sequels.
Do the kids know that?

Suomi melkein mainittu, tavataan sit torilla!
At least thats what I've always heard from various sources during my 40'sh years on this earth (beginning from our english teacher while I was around 9 years old).
English is just a Creole Language For Dummies
As the title says, this popped into my head while walking to my home being showered with subzero frozen rain.
Modern english is just an creole language of 5 different european languages and made super easy to mix the conflicts between those languages. Thats why its so easy to learn for most people.
Finnish independence day ritual - the shaking of hands.
Picture of a widely shared ritual in modern Finland: people gathering to family homes on Finlands independence day December 6, to watch in TV how our president and his/her's spouse shake hands with all the people invited to their official independence day party.
It takes about 2-4 hours, people drink and eat while discussing the outfits and persons shaking hands.
What is this genre/type of music called?
As the title says, I was wondering if lemmings would know what this kind of music is called / genre'd? They differ from their performers normal style considerably, but I like the smooth and and vaguely positive melancholic feel of these songs. I think both of these songs share kind of the same sound.
I've been a metal head since my early tweens, for way too many years, so I'm kind of wading to uncharted waters for me.
Any ideas?

Wooden hairbrush
A wooden hairbrush for missus. Kinda crappy but now I have an excuse to do a new and better one! Carved with knives and chisels. Stained with dark and light varnish and finished with clear acrylic cover.
Made from wood called 'terijoensalava' (salix euxina ’Bullata’) in Finnish - I dont know if there is an english translation for it. The wood was extremely soft, light and kinda powdery (?) inside - not much real grain on it. I bet you could carve a wooden knife from pine and carve this wood with the wooden knife.
Fancy peasant's gruel
My fancy peasant's gruel. Semolina gruel that turned into porridge like consistency (see I can afford the wheat, no need to water it down) with cut up wiener pieces in it. I'm sometimes fancy like this.
"Pain dog" pain hook
A pain hook (self-use massage device for the neck and back) made from a pine branch. Snoopy-like dog appeared from the branch while whittling, hence the name.
Lightly stained with walnut colour stain and a light beeswax layer on top of that so it feels smooth on the skin. Handle made from old repurposed leather belt strips.
These pain hooks are an old Finnish and Karelian thing for massaging one's neck and back, and I was wondering if these sort of self-care "devices" are known and in use in other cultures?
