Finn here. There’s no difference in pronounciation, but the colloquial expressions tend to have quite a theatrical expressive spin to them IRL. The context will also be totally different, so I don’t see much potential for confusion.

I’ve had to learn heavy duty bashing for work, and happily did take the plunge. However, they also had me learn PHP and I’ll drop this as a hook and line for OP: you can do shell-script duties with PHP also, and once you hit your head on sed enough times, I hope you remember me telling this. All that string manipulation is much nicer with PHP functions, and for running shell commands there is shell_exec(). :)

It would be interesting to experiment with how long one lets the germination to go on before roasting. And of course DIYing the malt opens up opportunities for smoking and such. So a lot of opportunity there, but certainly no savings to be made, since roasting is energy intensive and best done in large batches.

Amen! 46 and happy to confirm, although for me the break point was at 30 when my first child was born. An earlier breakthru was around 27 when doing my second outing of zen meditation and realising that my thoughts are not me, but more like the wind on my face, they come and go.

So my 5 euro-cents on this: become a parent or meditate to accelerate the process :)

EU citizen here. The first link redirects to the Gemini front page for me. Tried with a trailing slash, that gives a 404. Second one confirms there is no Gemini activity to delete. Never did use Gemini. I guess this means they didn’t automatically onboard EU folk…?

I really should delete my Google account, since all I use it for is a Gmail account for whenever I need to enter an email for anything.

This post got me going back to look at the cute 7-inch they have. Then remembered why I skipped the last time I looked. Why on Earth no åäö keys when they could just be provided for swapping in, even for extra $$? For those layering won’t do it, they must be on dedicated keys.

Ooh, but this new one does have int’l options. Nice.

I recently discovered kmscon: a hardware accelerated utf-8 & emoji capable replacement for the standard Linux console. Put that on.

Lol, klikkiotsikko toimi taas!

Oon itse huomannut, että Yleltä tulee usein RSS:ään raflaavampi otsikko kuin mitä nettisivuilla näkyy. Muutaman kerran jakanut uutisen hilpeän otsikon myötä, ja jaetussa url previewissä onkin tylsä asiaotsikko. Ne tietää mitä tekee…

Ikävästi on vaan klapinkin hinta noussut, tän talven koivuklapit maksoivat jo 90 € heittomotilta. ‘Kuitupuun hinta noussut’, sanoo mettähefet. En mä sellaista ole ostamassa vaan polttopuuta :P Onneksi talvi ollut leuto ja sähköä on saanut tarpeeksi usein alle 0,5 snt / kWh.

Come on, my fellow Finns, this one deserves more upvotes!

I’d argue that with all that exploitation of single cell life forms, no beer could ever be vegan.

I’m going to do a second attempt at a lemon infused beer next. Last one had a single lemon in 22 L of beer and the taste didn’t come through at all. How many limes per how much beverage did you go with?

It’s not going to be cheap, technical fabrics are pretty expensive at least when shopping at specialty online shops. One might get lucky with Chinese cheapo outlets. Materials for my hammocks cost around 120 € a pop.

It was indeed to have a few things my way. First thing is that any store-bought double layer hammock fails to actually utilise the layering: on mine, the outer layer (windproof silnylon) is 7 cm longer ridgeways than the weight-bearing inside layer (static & breathable monofil). This way there is an air gap between the layers, so the wind doesn’t chill my back. The monofil is also great in that it doesn’t gather condensation in the winter, since the material is practically mesh.

Second thing was that there were no hammocks in the shops that would use the awesome monofil fabric in the first place :D It’s well worth making a hammock just to get to use that stuff. I was worried it’d be brittle in the winter, but no, just perfect :)

One tip: use Gütermann Mara 70 for the thread and you have a hammock for life. Had my two hammocks for four years or so, nothing has broken.

I’ve made two hammocks so far, and both turned out very nicely. Not difficult at all. The other one is for the summer months, it has a zippered bugnet.

Cozy and dozy! The underquilt is pure magic.

Oh no, diagonal is the thing! The underquilt does accommodate that too. Lying on the centerline is just plain not doing it right :)

Sen verran pitäisi ainakin kansalaisvaikuttaa, että tän systeemin käytöstä pitäisi asiakasta informoida, jos näin ei nykyään tehdä.

Enjoying the sahti-stout here alongside the usual Christmas nutritional overload. Pretty soon I’ll run the rest into bottles and free the Kegmenter for next run. For that one I’m looking to adopt some yeast pups from @alzymologist 's selection :)

Kiitos kysymästä! Tänään tuli vielä näppäilyhommia tehtyä, mutta joulun tuoksuissa kotosalla niitä teki hyvillä mielin. Välipäivät onkin määrätty vapaaksi, ei harmita. Pääkinkku odottelee uunin vapautumista, täytyy kohta vielä pörssin EUR / kWh -noteeraus tsekata ennen paistopäätöstä.

Viikonloppuna ehdittiin sukuloida rouvan puoli. Jännitystä elämään tuli, kun paluumatkalla oltiin just Mäntsälän St1:llä burgeritankkauksella, kun alkoi vieressä rytistä. Terapeuttiemännälle propsit, otti oitis yhden autonsa räjäyttäneen teiniautokunnan kriisiterapian kohteeksi. Eikä muuten varmaan ollut kynttilänsavu mikä yllätti, vaan sankka sumu. Sitä piisasi vanhalla tielläkin yltä kyllin. Keliolosuhteet oli kummat, Mäntsälässä matkaa jatkettaessa oli mittarissa -4 astetta ja kotona tuntia myöhemmin jo -14. Ja aamulla jo plussaa.

Lapset ovat jo asteikon teinivaiheessa, mutta on kyllä riemu itselle, että edelleen intoilevat joulua ja vaativat perinteitä vaalittavan. Hieno juhla, pakostikin pakanaperuja :D

Life saved, but not markedly improved?
