I thought I was having a truly unsatisfactory day until I remembered the Erfurt Latrine Disaster, a textbook case of how things really could be worse. Think about this whenever you think things have gone to shit.

10 Facts About Finland That Sound Made Up

There are many fantastic things about Finland to report, and you can find thousands of articles devoted to them. But there's also many weird and wonderful Finnish facts that don't enjoy such wide coverage. So, here at Very Finnish Problems, we're counting down ten of our favourites.

My Finnish step dad brought the love of cultured milk and delicious secret Finnish family recipes. You'll never see a sad Finnish person.


Hey #believeinfilm friends,

Did you see the northern lights yesterday?

A solar storm made the aurora borealis visible in Vancouver, where I live, and even in places south of that, like Toronto. I photographed the lights on film with my Canon F-1 and a roll of CineStill 800T.

More hi-res photos: analog.cafe/r/shooting-norther…

Not bringing a digital camera was one of the best decisions of the night. Film is the best way to capture this event.

in reply to Dmitri ☕️

I don't know if it was visible where I live, but I only learned about it while it was happening, again, so I missed it either way.

This was always the case, they're now being forced to be more honest about it.

'Raahe Wanha Herra' or 'The old gentleman of Raahe' is believed to be the oldest surviving diving suit in existence, dating back to the 1700s, from Finland. It was made from stitched calfskin. The diving suit was made waterproof by sealing it with a mixture of pork fat, tar and pitch. The hood-shaped head is reinforced from the inside with a wooden framework. In the upper part of the hood is an opening for a wooden air pipe.

brilliant! Historical context has transformed this from jolly to threatening.

I really like Nextcloud. And I would love to like it even more. But for me, it‘s only usable for syncing files. The web UI is terribly slow, even after switching from my Synology NAS to a speedy Unraid server, running Nextcloud off SSDs only with all kinds of optimizations implemented. It‘s really sad.

I finally read the Nobel committee's press release on this year's chemistry prize: nobelprize.org/prizes/chemistr…

Two points are bit irritating:

"... have developed an AI model to solve a 50-year-old problem: predicting proteins’ complex structures."

The 50-year-old problem is *understanding* how proteins fold, not just predicting the outcome.

"That we can now predict protein structures and design our own proteins confers the greatest benefit to humankind."

A premature conclusion in 2024.
