Äitihän muinoin teetti keittiörempan niin, että otti useammalta firmalta suunnitelmat ja tarjouksen ja surutta valkkasi halvimman tarjouksen mutta käytti itselleen mieluisinta, kalliimman firman suunnitelmaa. Jos jaksaa käyttää aikaansa niin saattaa kannattaa käydä kysymässä ainakin paria muuta tarjousta ihan vain siitä mielenkiinnosta, että millaisia ratkaisuja muut tarjoavat.

Then again, as someone from a cold northern country, using celsius and having 0 as the temperature where water freezes is very handy when you need to think about driving conditions. Anything below 0 means the roads are probably icy and you should be careful.

Depends who’s responsible for overseeing the parking for your building. It might be a private company if you have separate parking spaces owned by the building or tenants, in which case you report to that company. If not, then the city:

Kiki’s Delivery Service is so pleasant, it cheers me up even just thinking about it!

How the turns are determined in Nova Luna. It’s always the person who’s token is last who goes. As long as you’re last you can keep taking turns. When you pass another player’s token, your turn is over. Everyone is always able to see the turn order and you can (try to) calculate when your turn is and which tiles will be available to you.

Reasonable options might be Cat Lady or Cascadia, maybe Codenames Duet and Welcome To.

I also second Splendor and Star Realms.

For some reason every once in a while a random Spanish show becomes insanely popular in Finland. Years back it was Los Serranos, a (soapy) comedy about a blended family, and now it’s La Promesa, a historical soap opera about wealthy family who owns a mansions and their servants.

Volunteering or similar work, like lending a hand at small local theater or sports events. Depending on the work they might involve some downtime when you can chat with others and get to know them.

Then again, you also write $5 but say it five dollars. The way something is said can be different from how it is written.

I think in my country the residential houses have different legistlation than vacation homes, like little cottages by the lake. Though the vacation home is required to not be suitable for year-around living, if you have a modern house by the lake it’s treated like a residential house.

Many have said things that are more immersive sounds or almost soundscapes like rain on roof, but I have a clear favourite short and snappy sound and that is the sound of when a basketball goes clean through the hoop without touching the rim, the so called swish.

I went to an isolation float tank once where you get to choose the sounds/music you hear at the beginning and end of the session. I chose “Alpine meadows” that had bees buzzing, light wind moving in trees and grass and little bells chiming and it was my favourite part of the experience, I could have listened to that the whole hour. What you described is very similar and would make a great soundscape for situations like that!

The penguin meeples from Ark Nova Sea World expansion are so cute, I always play with black colour just so I get the penguins!

How was Wyrmspan as its own game and compared to Wingspan?

Reilun kuukauden olen nyt tilannut Uutta Juttua, siihen asti selasin aina aamuisin Ylen etusivun. Alkuun Uusi Juttu tuntui todella vähältä, mutta nyt olen jo alkanut tykkäämään siitä, että oikeasti kerrotaan vain tärkeimmät paisuttelematta eikä yritetä saada lukijaa pysymään sivulla klikkiotsikoilla ja turhilla kohu-uutisilla tai nyyhkytarinoilla. Koen saavani rahoille vastinetta. Toki lisäksi selaan reddittiä ja nyt myös lemmyä sekä vähemmässä määrin instagramia, jotenki sieltä tulee lueskeltua jotain myös, mutta en ensisijaisesti pidä niitä uutislähteinä.

Basketball net’s swoosh on a perfect shot going through it.
