Finnish media picked up that a refrigerated truck bearing the logo of a Finnish grocery chain was spotted carrying Ali Khamenei's casket in Iraq during funeral processions.
After moving there, yeah nudity is more normalized, at least in places where nudity is expected. There are saunas in work buildings and coworkers can have business meetings in the sauna. I read somewhere that in the sauna, everyone is equal, something about removing all the symbols of status. Also when I go swimming, it was a shock that Finnish changing rooms are very public, everyone is just naked there. It was uncomfortable for me at first, but once you get over the hurdle of realizing no one gives a shit, we've all got bodies, it became quite freeing.
I did something like this maybe 10 years ago and it worked just fine after disabling DHCP on the one which is supposed to be just an AP.
One thing to double check, there are protocols for gracefully switching the AP your device is connected to as you walk out of range of AP1 and into range of AP2. You might want to check if that can be supported if your setup will have routers from 2 different brands. Otherwise, your phone will probably want to hang onto a weak connection even when you're close to the other AP. I'm not a networking person, so maybe this isn't a problem anymore.
Freight rail traffic between Russia and Finland is still going, but passenger traffic has been completely closed for a few years (with the closure recently renewed). It's doing an absolute number on border towns like Lappeenranta who are no longer getting income from tourism.
These days, the best ways to get to St. Petersburg from Helsinki is either:
- Take the ferry to Tallinn, transfer to the bus station across town, take a bus to the Narva border town, get off the bus, go through the border control point by foot, get on a different bus on the other side in Ivangorod, continue to St. Petersburg. Similarly you can also go the longer way past Tartu and Pskov, I think there is a crossing point for cars.
- Buy an expensive flight via Turkish Airlines, Helsinki-St.Petersburg with a layover in Istanbul.
The only correct place to rollover
Suddenly I'm glad I just changed jobs, since it allowed me to rollover my 401k into an IRA and I can actually pick non-shit funds or just hold it in cash for a minute
Really glad this country with one of the highest unemployment rates in Europe and austerity measures in abundance was able to find more money for the military.
After 3 tries I seemed to plateau around 120 wpm. I feel like my bottleneck was focus, I would misread or skip words, and then get stuck trying to fix the mistake. I think I used to be faster when I was in middle school and they made us use the "Type to Learn" game. But the speed isn't that relevant in adult life.
The same signs are all over Helsinki
In Russian they don't say "I love you" they say "пожирать плоть капиталистов" which means "we are one and the same" and I think that's beautiful

I was reading comments with pleasure when people would write "finally Finland does something good" and a bunch of people mad in the replies
