You have a season up there besides winter?
Sure, although summer only lasts one day, from mid-May to mid-July. Some summers we don't get any snowfall at all!
Can you crush-ed a c64; because it is very dangerous and we must deal with it?
You know, HPC's Anni and Lauri have a very typical Finnish accent; usually called Rally English here. While my own R's are very clear in Finnish, I learned a stupid way of pronouncing English with almost silent R's, and am now going
back to Rally English, just to make it easier for others to understand my spoken English! I'm not kidding much when I say me fail English often.
A lot of Finns understand English -- including the elderly! --, but are very shy to speak, because they have that same accent, and some cocky snobs here laugh at us for speaking that way. And there is nothing more Finnish than worrying about what other people think of us!
That just the BEST "computer/robot" story I've ever heard!
Thanks!
Around the same time, I built a "house" on top of an euro-sized pallet (1m × 1.2m, or 47"×39", about 1.5m/5ft high). It looked all wonky and so on, and one of my brothers called it "the hobo hut" (pultsarinkämppä). I got the last laugh, as it had to be dismantled later on, but I wasn't there to do it myself. That same brother had to do it, and he admitted that even though it looked wonky, when he tried to knock it down, it just wouldn't break or collapse: it had a solid structure and load-bearing members, and had to be properly dismantled from the roof down!
I'd love to do more woodworking, but living in an apartment, there just isn't any place to do that sort of stuff; I only get to do that when I visit up north.
Doing something with ones hands is a good balance for sitting in front of a computer all day.
