Finnish guy here. The whole nation has been thrown in the middle of racist debate in the past year. One of the ruling political parties is a far right populist party who have strifed to normalize racism while they're in power. There are actual nazi affiliated people there. It's a fucking shitshow where they lie to coax normal people into rage against immigrants and it seems to be working with those poor suckers. It hasn't been a good year, far from it, but at least common everyday racism has been outed and is condemned by the majority.

I disagree. They should put christmas lights on every damn palmtree available.

Probably just covering legal bases so they don't get sued to oblivion because they didn't tell people that toast can burn at prolonged exposure to toasting. And other stuff like that.

What the hell do I need a laptop with an NPU for? I can write my own emails and documents. I don't give a crap about the paint and notepad AI additions. I seriously cant think of any use case for copilot plus.

I recently started watching the show. Do you remember which season this is in?

The Finnish suffix "-kainen" is used to create nouns that refer to things or beings associated with a particular quality or characteristic. Even though we don't necessarily mentally associate it with a similar meaning as "-mainen", it still is. Hence the translation of "bearlike" is close enough.

Fun fact, those are called "karhukainen" in Finnish. A direct (but loose) translation would be "bearly", "bearlike" or something else bear related.

Finnish doesn't have one. We just learn it by instinct and use the time saved to warm up the sauna.

Hippos can't swim. Too much bone density and mass.
