Yeah when I googled it it was lots of opinions and this is from looking at 20 years of wear on them.
So they’re at least somewhat equal, I would say. Some might argue better. Some would not.
But definitely did make me feel alright about the prospect of having to replace a tooth or several.
- Comment on Anon tries to understand his coworker 15 hours ago:
OK yeah I’ll admit cleaning up after shitheads does cost, and probably a fair amount because of how famous those places are. (So it’s very much non-locals most of the time, I’d wager.)
- Comment on Anon tries to understand his coworker 15 hours ago:
I meant “profit” in the sense of that profit being the taxation. As in, people walking around the park don’t actually cost anything to anyone, so it is profit when you charge people to walk around, but the people wouldn’t be able to come there in the first place where there not the infrastructure which is upheld by said profit.

Not just significant, I’m pretty sure the loss in value is some sort of a record, for real.
- Comment on Anon tries to understand his coworker 17 hours ago:
Oh. I think for us the first three would be hiking and the last four would just be walking.
But yeah, there’s definitely a difference of terminology, seeing as there’s two completely different languages. But I do take your point.
I don’t know about any trails that have bike paths leading up to them though. I mean, unless you count a road as a bike path. It’s just very much more organic here, you’ve made it into a whole thing that can be used for profit, it seems like. The infrastructure to ours, like duckboards and whatnot are paid for by taxes, but our taxation policies are quite different so we won’t get into that, lol.

It’s genuinely hard to imagine how large America is.
And Finland isn’t one of the tiny Central-European countries.
Driving from Fresno to Yellowstone is pretty much the distance it is to drive from where I live (Southern end of Finland) to the Northern end of Finland.
But yeah at the Northern end in Lapland it starts getting more like that, only a few roads going to the larger national parks. Here in the South you can just go around anything really, there’s backroads and footpaths everywhere. Like no matter how deep in the woods I go, I’d feel awkward taking a shit, since there’s always some dogwalkers to be met.
This makes me want to go hiking up North.
- Comment on Anon tries to understand his coworker 17 hours ago:
Genuine curiosity being read as “smug and mocking” is a bit troublesome I feel. I’ve just not traveled a lot. I know things, but I haven’t been there personally, and reading about Yellowstone, it doesn’t exactly highlight that some company controls access to it, more or less.
Thank you for the info on that though, seems horrible, and is exactly the type of behaviour our laws exist to prevent.
- Comment on Anon tries to understand his coworker 18 hours ago:
I just don’t understand how you can “fee” Yellowstone or the Grand Canyon. Those places are huge.
You have a booth on every road?
I don’t believe there’s a single place like that in Finland, what with our everymans rights
Everyman’s rights are the right of every person to use nature regardless of who owns or controls the land. The use of nature within the limits set under the everyman’s rights therefore does not require the permission of the landowner and using the rights does not cost anything.
- Comment on Anon tries to understand his coworker 19 hours ago:
In Finland there is no trespassing on private property. Well, not if it’s not gated or your yard or something. And you can’t gate large pieces of land like that, so…
I understand that the nature is very different, for instance we have no mountains. So for me, I’m just thinking “just use another road”, but some places just have one road going there, I guess. Here, I’ll show my point:
I’ve highlighted the parks in yellow. Kansallispuisto = national park, luonnonpuisto = “nature park” (which sounds silly, I hear it). My point is that the trails in those areas start from a few places, and going to the national park, there’s several parkin places you can go to, and you can get to the areas from so many different places. And this isn’t a national park that requires any park rangers. I don’t even know if we have any, but if we do, they’re in the national parks which are up North in Lapland. This is a very small one. Just a big marsh with a lake in the center, essentially.
So you couldn’t really set up a gatehouse or a booth anywhere there.
- Comment on Anon tries to understand his coworker 19 hours ago:
I get the point about it being a cheap activity in general, but aside from parking, who do pay the money to? Is there like a ticket-booth at the start of some trail which you couldn’t reasonably get to walking from other places?
- Comment on Anon tries to understand his coworker 20 hours ago:
Hikes being extremely cheap and only needing to pay parking, usually.
Laughs in Finnish everymans rights.
You have to pay for hiking? Or you hike on trails where the only access is from a parking area that you have to pay for?
Seems ridiculous to me.

Also, moving your ears and your head.
- Comment on [Thread] Mental Math 21 hours ago:
And we can also slightly move our ears a tiny amount, but I’m sure even that does increase accuracy.
- Comment on [Thread] Mental Math 21 hours ago:
And they can even do that in sync with thousands (and even millions) of other small birds.
- Comment on [Thread] Mental Math 21 hours ago:
Just earlier today I was googling whether even tooth implants are actually better than the natural alternative.
I didn’t find a definitive answer.
- Comment on [Thread] Mental Math 21 hours ago:
Also masturbation might be a challenge in that scenario.
- Comment on same as it ever was 2 days ago:
Bad use of the meme.
- Comment on same as it ever was 2 days ago:
Probably not “Marcus is gay” since they didn’t have a similar idea of sexuality, it being more or less a free-for-all.
- Comment on fuckery 2 days ago:
I take “what the absolute fuck” to mean there’s a platonic ideal of “fuck” and that’s what they’re referring to.
But this did make me want to find out the etymology of “absolute” :
- Comment on what should I consider before buying winter running gloves? 3 days ago:
I’m not a runner but this type just popped into my mind, with this sort of half cover, so you can have an mitten on your hand when running but take it off to use a phone blow a nose or whatever, without taking the gloves off.
Mittens good because they’re pretty airy and don’t get as clammy as full finger gloves.
I’m sure this model is also found in more sporting materials
“half cover gloves” or smth for search terms idk

I’d assume there’d be at least someone there who’s job it is to “research” things to see if they’re to be banned or not.

I think you may be talking about endangering traffic, not just walking while drunk.

Wouldn’t know, don’t remember that ever happening.

Every group has its idiots, but I will admit it felt like a higher class of idiot.

Oh that’s unlocked some memories. Wow what a flashback.
- Comment on Do you really want it in your body??? 1 week ago:
I don’t think you can make a person without it, so having one which has never been in contact with it would be quite a challenge.
- Comment on Do you really want it in your body??? 1 week ago:
100% of people who have ever come in contact with it have died!
No no, will die. 100% fatality rate for all who come in touch with it.
I don’t know about you, but I’m still alive, some would argue. Physically at least.
- Comment on Anon doesn't tip 1 week ago:
I believe I’m a somewhat generous tipper.
I give might round a 21.50 up to 25. Euros that is. And I’m in Finland.
This is considered a generous tip, most don’t tip at all.
When I drove a taxi basically if I had a shift on Christmas eve, then I’d get tips. Otherwise it was like at most 3-5% of riders who gave tips. And this was back in oughts, when people actually used cash. (I literally never had someone tip me on a card when driving a taxi.)

Yeah those fuckers would be included, which is why the figure doesn’t work but also getting too pedantic would make it far less quippy, so…
