Damn it. I, unlike Trump, have received two Nobel peace prizes. One, givven to the European Union and one for minor minor comments to an IPCC report.

I thought not to talk about politics, but now I will do so one time. I think it is time for a digital service tax and for a demand that all future software bought by any public institution in Europe must be open source.

Good to know. Everyone's been wanting to know.

Excited to learn that Tyranosaurus rex was probably covered by fluffy downy feathers. #BBC #inourtimes

Finland's homelessness numbers are good. However, as a Finnland resident I never heard about plans to have a 4x6 week by the government.

Also, it is possible that eyes are sore because during the cold many people are inside with bad illumination and tiring their eyes.

Explanations are that indoor evaporation is higher. Indoor air obtains its absolute humidity from outside while the capacity to hold water depends on the indoor air temperature. Therefore, the deficit is higher. Other factors may be physiological reactions to cold.

This is wrong. Evaporation depends on the vapour pressure deficit not the absolute humidity. Absolute humidities (amount of water / Volume of air) are lower but also humidity at saturation. Usually evaporation rates are lower when it is cold.

I liked it. It was my best book so far in 2025.

I think the problem is the definition of Socialism in the USA. I think all Finnish parties (except the so called "True Finns" would be socialist in the USA).

Cover image for "Global Wetland Outlook 2025" report by Ramsar. The image shows a silhouette of a person in a conical hat carrying rice seedlings on a pole across their shoulders, walking through a misty wetland landscape. The person's reflection is visible in turquoise water below. The Ramsar logo appears at bottom left, with subtitle "Valuing, conserving, restoring and financing wetlands" beneath. The atmospheric image captures traditional agricultural practices in wetland environments, with a soft, ethereal quality created by morning mist and diffused light.

Thanks, this is what I suspected but I was curious.

Just why are there such large differences on contrast between the pictures? Are radio waves concentrated to a narrow band and visible is more spread?

I at least agree on the legacy admission.

Was machen die Worte von Friedrich Merz zum „Stadtbild“ mit schwarzen Polizisten, muslimischen Soldatinnen und mit Professoren, deren Eltern als Gastarbeiter nach Deutschland kamen?

We can agree without sticking to the definition of terms that governments and societies support the use of fossile fuels with 5.7 Trillion $.

I think there is a distinction about subsidies from a trade policy and general economics point of view. Failure to charge polluters for environmental costs is not a subsidy under trade agreements. However, in economic analysis the effects are largely identical to subsidies.

I hope they cited Franz Kafka (1917) " Report to an Academy". Key citation "The ecolution from an ape to a human goes through the bottle".

Värttinä tekee näyttävää paluuta Euroopan estradeille – uusi levy nousi maailmanmusiikkilistojen kärkeen Värttinä on kotimaisen kansanmusiikin kivijalka ja kansainvälisesti tunnetuimpia yhtyeitämme. Uusi albumi kerää kiitosta ulkomailla, mutta Suomessa se jäi vähälle huomiolle.

Hyvä Rääkkylä!
