I agree here that it can depend on the infrastructure which option is better. But one way to look at it is that if a car is parked in the bike lane then the bike will be in the car lane == more risk for the bike. The…
Yeah I kind of agree, Netflix still seems to be the only streaming service that actually offers a better service than just pirating the content and watching it through Kodi or Plex. There is always some minor or major…
Seems really cheap tho. I wonder what the Medical cost + opportunity costs for avoiding e.g. 50% of crashes in the junction would be over e.g. 10 years. Probably a lot more than 100k for fixing the junction.
As someone who runs red lights from time to time both as a pedestrian and cyclist I more or less think this is the general view, especially if we take into account that bicycle lanes, at least in my country, often are…
Jehovas witnesses in Finland were exempt from the military service until last year. Someone took it to court and the ruling was that you can't discrimate certain groups based on their religion. I think it's only a…
I'm currently using a 10m (~33ft) HMDI cable to connect my desktop PC to my TV @ 4k/60hz. It works well without HDR but does cut out from time to time with HDR enabled so I mostly leave it turned off @4k. I spent quite…
There are also quite a few all-you-can-eat-sushi buffet places in Turku, all with the same price of around 10€ during lunchhours. A interesting part that was left out from the initial post is that we have these "lunch…
The "copying fees" on storage (this includes harddrives/SSDs, phones, CD/DVD/BD or pretty much any storage medium in some countries) is actually a fee for "private copying"…
I'm still waiting for "Steam for TV series/Films". I've always felt that that approach would work better as we're unlikely to get a single streaming service with "most content" akin to music streaming". The model works…
"Voice and subtitles not available in your language" For literally the first recommended film on Google play movies. Scroll through it a little bit and it seems like original languages are not available, closed captions…
Why not? It doesn't cost anything extra except some time for the initial setup and you get a guaranteed short term return on your parked money.
I would be OK with occasionally paying for other streaming services than Netflix if they actually worked, I.e. better than torrents and preferably on Netflix's level. The other services available in the Nordics are not…
Yeah, youtube red/music key has been "coming soon" to some European countries for years already (though it was initially available for play music subscribers for a few months during some limited release/pilot).
Well it is quite similar in Finland. It seems like the government does everything in its power to pull the social security net out under entrepreneurs. A more pessimistic view is that the government does everything it…
I'm kind of surprised that some people don't eat leftovers. While it's understandable from a taste perspective the time required to cooking fresh food every day, assuming you cook most meals, seems staggering.
BMI isn't really reliable on a individual level as it doesn't take body composition into account. Athletes are generally "overweight" according to the BMI cutoff.
I don't really think a justification is needed. Yes it's illegal but so is driving faster than the speed limit, yet most people does it because they feel entitled. You can ticket people for breaking the rules but it…
Allegations of rape are generally really problematic in a society were rape is normalized and the justice system has a skewed view of what a "legit rape" is (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rape_culture). I'm not too…
This is sadly also true for the Nordic countries. There's a bunch of contenders in the streaming business and huge pushes for cable-TV from the major broadband providers. The sad part is that most services are utter…
The current overly bureaucratic welfare systems are reactions on the idea that everyone is supposed to have a "job". If you don't have a job your job is to navigate the welfare system to "earn" your welfare income while…
It shouldn't really be a tough choice. The "suburbia" dream is flawed on so many levels that it isn't even funny. Yet people are clinging on to it like leeches because they've been told it will make them happy.
Both articles seem to tackle the problem merely from the perspective of middleclass suburbans who want a "cozy" fireplace. An open fireplace is more of a decoration than a effective way of warming your house. Warming…
Personal use as in you're not selling bandwidth to a third party. There is most likely no problem running a mail och minecraft server, but they definitely don't want you selling bandwidth to your neighbours or hosting…
Turku here, which is also considered to be a cycling town. I was really shocked to see Finland placed fourth on the list of bike friendly countries. I'll admit that most bike lanes on the countryside are great but the…
