No se meni jotakuinkin näin pk-seudun tuntumassa:

Arkku: 279e [Pakollinen, laki määrää, otettiin halvin]

Yksi kuljetus (sairaalasta  krematorion kappelille): 270e [Valitsimme kappelin, jonka yhteydessä krematorio, jotta vältytään toiselta kuljetukselta. Uurna noudettiin itse krematoriolta ja vietiin oman kunnan hautausmaalle.]

Oma uurna: 99e [Oma uurna tarvitaan, mikäli uurna haudataan. Jos tuhkat sirotellaan, voi uurnan lainata seurakunnalta. Otettiin halvin.]

Hautausvaatteet (peruspuuvillaiset): 40e [Ei pakolliset. Omat vaatteet maksaa enemmän. Otettiin halvimmat.]

Perunkirjoitukset: 495e [Pakollinen, suositellaan käyttämään ammattilaista, mutta voi tehdä myös itse, jolloin vain asiakirjojen tilauksesta hinnat, minulla ei tiedossa paljonko eri asiakirjat maksaneet. Kannattaa pyytää tarjoukset tästä, jos on voimia.]

Tuhkaus: 400e [Jos haudataan arkkuineen, tuhkausmaksua ei siten tule]

Olemassa olevan hautakiven uusi kaiverrus, kiven pesu ja kiven perustuksen korjaus: 600e [Mikäli hautapaikka on hautausmaalla, ei muistomerkin ole pakko olla kivi, kunhan muistomerkki sopii seurakunnalle.]

Haudan kaivuu: 95e [Edullisemmat hinnat mikäli kuuluu kirkkoon, haudan kaivuusta ei luonnollisesti tule kuluja mikäli kyseessä sirottelu]

Olemassa olevan hautapaikan hallinta-ajan pidennys 55 euroa [Uusi hautapaikka maksaa eniten, halvin on hautausmaan muistolehtoon tuhkan sirottaminen 16e. Kuntalaisella oikeus tulla haudatuksi oman kuntansa hautausmaalle. Ulkopaikkakuntalaiselle maksaa enemmän, mutta onnistuu]

Eli reipas 2300 euroa. Ja tässä ei tosiaan ole mukana perunkirjoituksissa tarvittavien asiakirjojen hintoja, kukkalaitteita, mahdollista muistotilaisuutta, siellä tarjottavia ruokia tms. Voin sanoa, että rahanmeno ei lopu kuolemaan. Vaan ei huolta, ystävät, Kela maksaa tästäkin korvausta, jos olet aivan täysin varaton.

I mentioned online that I actually prefer light-roast black instant coffee over coffee machine brew of almost any kind, and the americans slide in, horrified and disgusted, like "um excuse me, have you considered a french press? A Turkish pot? Moka Pot? One of those single pour coffee makers? Surely there are more humane and tasty methods of saving space in your coffee routine than that."

I am from Finland. We straight-up fucking consume the largest amount of coffee per capita in the entire world. And let me tell you we do not drink it for the taste. There is no refined coffee culture, no cute little espresso cups, steamed milk, little bit of cinnamon or spice in there for flavour, absolutely no trace of the refined ways of the civilised cultures that invented the brew.

There is only the scalding hot and bitter black tar, with perhaps a dash of milk in there for women and children, or to cool it down enough to swallow 5 cups on a 15-minute coffee break, light-roast beans for maximum caffeine. No sense of taste, refinement or flavour, everything imaginable has been optimised to gain maximum amount caffeine to spite God and disgust immortals.

Finnish coffee is fucking horrifying, but it sure is efficient.

Something I like about the Finnish language is that when you’re talking about all things LGBTQIA+, you have a nice, neutral alternative to the various acronyms: you can just add the word sateenkaari, that is, rainbow, in front of whatever you’re saying.

LGBTQIA+ people? Sateenkaari-ihmiset or sateenkaarikansa, rainbow people.

LGBTQIA+ community? Sateenkaariyhteisö, rainbow community.

Or you can have sateenkaariperhe, rainbow family, or sateenkaarioikeudet, rainbow rights, or sateenkaarinuori, young rainbow person, or what have you. These are all real words that are considered neutral in tone and are commonly used by news outlets and such.

Dunno, I just like them. Rainbow people. :)

I just heard my mom tell my brother, “when you die, you will go outside and garden until your father says you’re done” and it took me a second to realize that my brother was playing a videogame and this was not a theological discussion.

On this subject I was looking up the finnish wikipedia page for parsnips (don’t ask) and I came across this sentence:

“Clayey”? Finnish has a word meaning “clayey”??? Truly a language spoken by forests and swamps

[finnishcottagecore]

They didn’t name their country after swamps for nothing

Dear Mr. Gailman.

Maybe you've been ask this many times, but, does Aziraphale and Crowley have birthdays? If not, what dates do you propose?

Thank you and have a nice day! :)

I think if you’re around before there’s an Earth and before there’s a Sun for the Earth to go around to make years, and before there’s a moon to make months, and before there’s a universe to put it all in to make all the untold trillions of nanoseconds, then mapping the moment that you were created onto a human calendar doesn’t make a lot of sense.

[its-toph-bitch]

but giving earth a birthday mapped onto a human-made calendar makes a lot of sense?

[neil-gaiman]

Sure. Because once you have the Earth going around the sun, and nights and days, you can go back to the first one, and it's the Birthday.

Crowley and Aziraphale were around before all that: before planets and nebulas and Time.

[pepperfairy]

Well then, since human-made calendar starts with 1.1. and you could argue that the calendar started as 1.1., since it wouldnt make much sense start the calendar at the end of April, unless the world was created at the end of April, I am not sure if anyone has gone that far back looking at it, you could argue that their birthday is 1.1. since that is the first day of the calendar and they were there for it. So their human-made calendar birthday could be 1.1. I can at least celebrate it then.
