In this street are 4 parking spots. The two marked red are 4h 6-24 parking slots. While the two marked green do not have any such signs. Neither the sign on red marked areas specify the length (i.e 30m or whatever) that could have extended into green areas. So i was under the impression the 2 green boxes are open parking spots. However, I just saw today that one of the car parked in the green box with parking tickets. The tickets says

Virhe 1: Kellonajat: 6 - 24, Sallittu pysäköintiaika 4 h, Saapumisajaksi ilmoitettu 19:00. I wonder what am i missing.

Hi - can anyone recommend apps or tools that give hold / buy / sell recommendations on Finnish listed companies? Thanks in advance!

How do women put up with us???

Following up on my recent post about growing / eating pikkujärvisimpukat: well, I found the mussels. They were nowhere to be found in the lake where the water column is too deep, but there's plenty of them in the lake's outlet stream that has a draft of 20cm tops. I found them while kayaking there, so I picked up a few in the boat and brought them back home.

I brushed them and rinsed them real good 4 or 5 times until nothing was hanging from them, the water ran clear and the whole kitchen stopped smelling of mud. Then I cooked them Belgian-style in white wine with cream, celery, garlic, shallots, butter, parsley, salt and pepper. Then I tasted them...

And... yeah, you can eat them. But you really don't want to. They're white and not very appealing, and the taste ranges from total absence of any flavor to a slight whiff of mud.

Kind of a waste of good ingredients. But hey, I gave it my best shot 🙂

I know almost for certain (or it is at least highly likely) that I have either the innatentive type of Adhd or is just somehow on the autism spectrum. Ive read up on it and I present loads of traits, for example the stereotypical one where I have an extremely hard time to get something done if it isnt something that I find interesting or somethin that needs to be done and there is a direct sense of extreme urgency. Another one is that I often am in my own head and have a hard time focusing on what other people are trying to say to me. This is leading to some difficulties regarding my job and as such I need to get a diagnosis or at least some form of therapy.

Im not sure if I can take the waiting time in the public sector and so Im thinking of going private. I know that my dad has pretty good medical insurance for me through his job but I need to check what applies because Im a legal adult now. I havent really dealt with insurance companies before and so Im trying to prepare in advance. Is there anything I should know before I call the company? (Im pretty sure that it is fennia insurance if thats relevant somehow, though it could also be Lähitapiola).

I'm happy to announce that "Songs from the Land of Kalevala" is out. The official release will be held at Ropecon 2026 next weekend. You can order yours early from my Backerkit Campaign or come say hi at Ropecon at desk D109.

The book includes five adventures set in Iron-Age Finland. The players will be able to:
- Defend their village from vikings
- Go on a search for Rohtotohtori, a mysterious herbalist
- Discover a mysterious winter with sinister origins tied to Pukki (Yes, that Pukki)
- Die and go to Tuonela
- Reenact the events of Kalevala and go steal the Sampo from the Pohjola

The book also includes rules for running a campaign in mythological Finland, and even tips for playing legendary heroes like Väinämöinen and Ilmarinen.

I also have designed miniatures such as Kokko, Iku-Turso, Ancient Finnish Ship and Väinämöinen himself. These you can also buy at Ropecon or as addons from my backerkit.

Finally, check out my new website supinaata.com I will use it as the primary tool of communication in the future. I will also post here on reddit on r/LandOfKaleva

I don’t have diabetes but can lose some weight to feel better and be able to run longer distances. My bmi is 31.5 so I’m officially obese. Are there any online clinics in Finland that would get me GLP-1 prescription? I would appreciate a recommendation.

Pretty much what the title says, I want to weave my own rag rug. If there's a place where I could gather fabrics, clothes, bedding, erc. before they're sent for recycling, or something along those lines.

Unfortunately, I moved recently and got rid of tons of stuff, so I don't have that many old fabric items to start with.

I wanted to share my cross stitch art I gifted for special occasions over the course of a year

I personally prefer Saarinen a lot and I think he should be remembered much more.

Hey everyone!

I’ve purchased an apartment using a loan through OP 4 years ago. I won’t be using the apartment for 6 months or even a few years and wanted to rent it out but the information I found wasn’t clear so I hope I run into someone with experience that can help.

- As I took out a loan for housing, I believe I need to check my loan conditions and potentially have a discussion with OP if I can start using it as an investment apartment. Right?
- There are no popular and ungated default/template contracts (or none in English so I failed to find them) one can use? I found guidelines and one gated template from sijoitusasunnot but it seems it’s more on the landlord to ensure they follow the law
- It seems that tenants can’t be evicted, or any specific actions taken, if tenants don’t make their payments. From what I’ve read you could end up with someone living roughly 6 months rent free in the apartment. Is this true and if so how common is it?
- Apart from the tenant willingly showing the home insurance contract there is no way to know if they took out an insurance. Is this correct?
- similarly, there is no way to confirm that the tenant is employed and able to make payments. Correct?

Apologies for the many and messy questions. First time I am in a position to rent and I want to do it in a way that is correct. If I should know anything else about renting that you feel like I’ve missed or you feel is important to point out please do!

P.S. I’m a bit exhausted so I apologies for any writing mistakes.

What the spring break bulllshit is this? People blasting speakers with yksi kaksi kolme sauna at the lake beach while toddlers,kids and adults alike are trying to enjoy the sun and warm water a bit. Just a rant while in true finnish style no one including me said anything. Only nasty stares.

If only our government could take blame for once in their lives and step up to the plate.

Hi!

I’ll be visiting Mariehamn for the first time soon, and I’m looking for a shop that sells camping gas cartridges for a backpacking stove, like Primus or similar.

Does anyone know where I can buy one in Mariehamn or nearby?

Thanks!
