Indeed, I will never buy a stove without physical knobs. Add to that a stove top that can handle some real usage without breaking up. My circles have had too many reports on cracked induction or ceramic tops. Kettles can get heavy and hands

The best selling pick-up truck in Finland is Toyota Hilux and new annual registrations are counted in... hundreds.

The model is reported to do a combined 21.0 liters per 100 km (or ~11-ish mpg) and more in the city. Driving this monster means you'll be paying roughly 50€ per 100km just for gas even if you didn't have to pay any of those import

On the other hand, international law only influences where the geopolitical setting allows it to. When it comes to the question of life and death for a superpower, international law no longer needs to mean anything. I can observe an analogy

The cost of nuclear goes down if we build more of smaller standardized reactors rather than a huge, advanced plants every few decades where everything is new and untested each time, warranting long periods of validation and certification, a

That unfortunately doesn't work and hasn't ever. I do get a different selection of recent posts (instead of top posts) but only a few, they're mostly the same through a day, and I'm still missing out on most of my friend

Why don't they post? For the same reason I don't post much if anything on Facebook: my posts won't reach my friends except by happenstance. Everyone I know has observed that when you go to look at your friend's profile y

Since then, Facebook have innovated very little. I hope they hadn't even tried. Initially, Facebook offered lots of value in the early years in the form that users were actually able to follow their friends' lives and stay conne

And why the heck do sockets and drives come in negative powers of 2 such as 1/2", 1/4", 1/8" whereas smaller tolerances come in 1/1000's of an inch? Why not 1/512" and 1/1024" ? Th

The only thing worse than a 45 minutes long commute trip twice a day alone in the car is a bit longer commute trip twice a day with other people.

If you design for cars you will never get that: instead, you will get malls instead of city blocks. Or malls with an apartment block on the same lot but the residents still can't walk anywhere except to that one mall.

The idea of taking 2/3 cups, spreading it out, and removing 1/4 to get 2/3 3/4 cups is pretty damn clever and totally street-smart about dividing a hard problem into smaller, more easily manageable problems on the fly. I

I've only ever had few male friends in my life. I surely have had male "buddies" I've acquainted with, usually around activities. A common interest works with most men but leaves the "buddyship" very much in th

If you buy experiences for the same reason you buy things and that reason is that you just want something new all the time, then you're not going to make any progress either way. Buy things you really need. Buy experiences that you rea

Thirty gunshots is about the same amount that the whole Finnish police discharge in one year countrywide. And those police gunshots are investigated individually as for whether each shot was deemed legal.

The gun factor makes it so much easier to wound and kill multiple people with outcomes that are order(s) of magnitude worse that just that alone overshadows any "people kill people" fundaments in the equation. If you're not

Divorces still work out in many countries without any adult-to-adult alimonies. You get divorced, you split your combined assets (excluding prenups), the child support vector will be based on the relative net income of each parent (and be

I hope you mind me not asking but while I know on some general level how things work in the US the details are infinitely interesting the deeper I think about this. You're responsible for filing your own state taxes based on when&#x2F

When you move to a new state, I suppose you don't fill in a bunch of forms to register yourself as a resident in the state then? So that when DMV and other institutions ask for residency they could just check back in the states records

I like your C-like syntax better. But I don't think there's any need to differentiate between different captures. Capture by value is enough because what do you need in C if you need a reference? Capture the value of the pointer.

First, consider your $250k written off. Don't hang on to it: doing so will only make you dig yourself deeper into ground and giving in to the client's demands in the hope of maybe getting paid. This will ruin any strategy to recov

That's just stupid. It just makes sense to have a fast lane for paying patients because that shortens the queues to the public surgeries as well. That works pretty well in Finland. One of my parents needed a cataract surgery this year,

There's a lot of heritage in archived and emulated computer games from 80's and 90's. Further, I still have some games in their original boxes somewhere and being nostalgic enough to not have thrown them away I own my copies

Static ads I can look at or ignore at if I so choose, both on the web and on the street. For reference, just some decades ago static ads in, for example, a computer magazine used to be as much valued content as the magazine articles themsel

There was also a generation gap between the earlier builders of nuclear plants and now these. Lots of knowhow was lost as we paused building nuclear for a long time. I hope we can now keep on building new plants, riding on the wave of exper

With "free" services like Facebook and Twitter I can understand pulling the rug off from under the feet of some unlucky customer. It will generate bad PR, some social media outcry, but the losses still mostly remain in the intangi

FAA could facilitate smoketesting and focus on parts they deem the most suspicious/experimental/new in a new airplane. And then outsource the actual tests to a third party.

Finns "love" light roasts because they're accustomed to it (except many of younger generations) and why they're accustomed is supposedly because a long time ago coffee was expensive and if you roasted it only a little yo

Nice, thank you! I might actually consider upgrading, I have no other complaints about G-shock. It is somewhat bizarre though that a watch in the 2020's lists a battery indicator as a feature... I had an analog solar watch before. Whil
