Re: Your biggest struggles after moving to Finland?
it doesn't have anything to do with the metric system, it's just that tradirionally eggs have always been told in half a dozen or a dozen. It is one of those non written rules, like the one that says you shouldn't fart in a lift...but probably you don't follow these rules since most of your posts o...

Re: Dark web and laws
I am curious about dark web and how does stuff work there. Is it safe to browse the dark websites using Tor? Will I get a police alert/warning if I try to do so? Or, will DNA suspend my internet connection?? Accessing the dark web and using Tor is legal. The legality of your actions otherwise do no...

Re: Pension amount doesn't make sense
I wasn't aware there was income from abroad and therefore additional pension. Should you be so lucky, move to Monaco and pay no taxes

Re: Pinecones in produce section
Last winter, we saw pinecones in the produce section of the grocery store. Are they supposed to be decorative or do you eat them? Thanks! Primarily decorative. Pine (Pinus pinea, not the pine in Finnish forests) cones also contain edible seeds, "pine nuts" (pinjansiemen), albeit those are...

Re: severance pay
interesting ? i think you will get severance when you get fired when it's not your fault. Possibly you are confusing severance pay ("eroraha") with the pay for the notice period. For the duration of the notice period, an employee is still obligated to work, unless the employer decides oth...

Re: Inheritance Uufruct query
Thank you for the reply. I understand that as the beneficary and the only heir I can ask for the lawful share - which even usufruct in a will can not prevent. Who chooses how to pay it out - i/e in cash or property? Does the estate administrator decide or the usufructary? I think i'll have to look ...

Re: Insects!
Possibly the issue is with mosquitos (the blood-sucking kind)... Windows and doors closed (or screened) has been already mentioned and should be the preferred method. There are other possibilities, which are less-than-optimal, killing what birds and such are feeding on. See e.g. https://yle.fi/aihe/...

Also, when I arrive at the Nuuksio park, is there somewhere specific to par...
