Finland here. Havent had one in 10 years or so?

But I do agressively forbid sharing my contact info through governmental blocks on sharing them/forbiding the sharing when I start using new services. Also I'm not in business as employer or as a freelancer.

Thanks for linking this spreadsheet! I remember seeing this a while back (maybe this was the bump to get me watching the franchise again?) and downloading it, but my phone at that time crapped itself soon after and I merrily forgot about it. I'm gonna be sure to save this cheatsheet to another device now.

Thank you!

Oh curses, I had all but forgotten about Gateworld as a resource. Mainly because it didnt/doesnt seem to work well on mobile!

Also I saw that meme earlier, but given the years since last watching the show, I didnt give it much thought. Thank you for your tips!

I'm an old SG fan rewatching the franchise again, but I am also unhappy about how pretty much all the info about the series internal chronological watch order is found only on Reddit or Stackexchance - the shittification both of those entities discusts me and I loath to give them any traffic.

So, I'm wondering if anyone here knows a link to a document or would be willing to write about the watch order youre supposed to watch the various series. For the love of all the gods I cant remember it. It just hit me, now in season 5 and the 1st appearance of Dr. McKay, that this is starting to become relevant.

I know its a lot to ask. Still, I would hope there would be alternatives to this info in the internet other than these shittified sites. My google/bing fu is not good enough to find it on other than these shit sites.

The finnish youth movie Pitkä Kuuma Kesä, set in 1980's Joensuu, really portrays the cops in far too positive light. They werent as jovial and unviolent as in the movie - they employed their rubber batongs much more freely irl. I know from experience.

They are luckily far less violent and authoritarian in current times, per my own experience and being told by my friends.

 

A little beer boat, HV Kaljaasi, made for the summer cottage and warm summer days, when you can sit in the lake and enjoy the sun.

Made from various little pieces of wood, sticks, glue and rocks inside the hull for steadying the boat. Swims well, even if it tilts little to the left.

True enough - I have to very careful when visiting local Lidls and browsing their products (though Finnish Lidls tend stock a lot of local lactose free stuff, luckily), else one invites the shitrocket.

But again this invites my query, invoked earlier on another comment in this thread - Germany is a much larger market with lots of immigration and the tech exists. Why not sell it to people, when there is also volume available?

That does not really explain the lack of use on the technology (which you do have, to make milk products lactose free) and the lack of products/marketing on lactose free milk products.

Isnt USA all about making new products for new consumers? If we can do it here, in a much smaller markets and with less resources, why cant it be done in the USA? You do have lots of lactose intolerant people there, through immigration alone - why on earth dont you, salesmen of the planet, want to sell that to them?

Thats why I do kinda of suppose that maybe its an cultural/social issue?

Fair enough, but it is also an observation based on other observations (through american culture's past and current hegemony on global internet's english speaking portion) about the cheesyness of america.

Edit: also I'm finnish, our humour is kind of dry and tries to be witty, like think of the brits. So read it through that lense.

In Finland they are. Why cant you do it?

 

I'm not sure if this is a good place to ask this, but I couldnt find any active uBlock Origin -communities here. Please delete if this is inappropriate to ask.

This blog has an annoying dark mode toggle, that keeps following the page as you scroll. I have tried to block it by uBlock Origins picker tool, but it only allows selecting the little flame image, creating a filter:

"acoup.blog##.darkmode-toggle"

Yet there remains a partly transparent, unselectable round artifact after this, that keeps following the page like the toggle.

I know I can disable javascript on the page to make it go away, but its tedious to do it every time.

Any tips how to block that annoying little toggle?
