Tesla owners.
How has been your experience driving a tesla model 3 with RWD (rear traction) during winter?
I'm planning to buy one for mostly highway use.
Hi I live in espoo, and I have my driving test for passenger car (B) next week. My exam going to starts at Ajovarma Espoo-Hannuksenpelto. Eventhough I know the traffic rule, I felt its better to understand the route better. So I can bit comfortable during the journey. I know the that the the test time is roughly 1hr in the morning, so the route will be mostly within 1hr radius as we need to return back to the office within a given time.
Now I would like to know which route are generally taken in Ajovarma Espoo-Hannuksenpelto? So I plan my routes ahead. Also any tips on how do I pass the driving test?
I am currently a international student. I just decided to learn investing. I opened an account in WISE and created a balance for Euro. So, I put some euro for stock investment. WISE themselves will use this money to invest and give me return.
Also, I created account on trading 212. I just bought 2 stocks ( 1 index fund, 1 company).
Now, I am wondering , If i start selling my stocks tomorrow, how will the tax work? How much tax should i give? How to avoid future consequence of financial fraud allegations. I am fearful that not knowing how tax works here can nake situation difficult for me.
As I Just started learning, I put very few money for learning. So, Its not realistic to consult a lawyer. Because a lawyer fee will be more than my investment amount.
Need your guidance on how to handle tax in this matter
I have a hammer drill and it does the job well. However, the insides of one wall seems to have a lot of brown stuff which breaks the surrounding part of drilled hole like a flake.
Has anyone experienced this? Sorry for not being accurate, should have taken the picture. (I am installing a clothesline and it’s boxy so covers the exposed area)
Surely it’s not just me who’s surprised and a bit sad at the fact Finland had such a lack of points in this years Eurovision, right? It was so fun and had a great performance and they could sing! I can’t help but think part of it is because of the idiots I’ve seen on social media saying “VOTE FOR CROATIA SO ISRAEL DOESNT WIN” and then other people voting for Israel to prove a point. How about we vote for ones we actually like? I just think Finland deserved better

Hi, I wonder the houses with the land being rented that people has been paying monthly for the 25-30 years of life; when the land rent is expiring, what happens to the house? Would people lose the money or…?
I need to get to metro at 5am but Kamppi's center opens at 10am only. How do I access the metro station?
We are supposed to notify DVV before we leave Finland. And they will cancel the residence permit right away. but what happens if I dont notify them? because I dont want my residence permit canceled on the last day itself. My plans might change and I might need to stay for longer.
so is it ok to notify after leaving finland? what happens if you dont notify at all (theoritically).

all of the Finnair livery has all the main Moomin characters on it, but you never see much of Mörkö. I asked a friend of mine to design this and i think he did an amazing job. i hope you guys and gals like it as much as i do. the dark body makes it look 10x cooler imo.

The news says we could see the northern lights today as well. Is there any sign that we could see today from Helsinki region?
Hey everyone! I'm excited to be visiting Helsinki from Latvia for a quick getaway, and I've got a date planned during my stay. I'd love to hear your recommendations for any must-see places or fun spots to visit in the city. Whether it's scenic views, cozy cafes, or romantic dinner spots, I'm open to any suggestions to make our time in Helsinki memorable. Looking forward to your tips and insights!
The namn made me interested, the outfit made me hooked. I havent heard the song yet but I so much wish you win Eurovision (you deserve it from last years disaster). Thank you Finland for all your awesome musik! Much love from a Swede. #chachachashouldhavewon
I got a letter from DNA, with our name and address, advertising cellulat packages for children starting school, including a sim card in case I want to subscribe.
How do they have our name and address? How do they know we have a child starting school next year?!?! Is it even legal to send such spam ads?
I don't think I gave them any such information or permission ti sebd me adverts. We don't even have cellular contract (using prepaid sim). We do get internet from DNA through the rental company though, maybe that's it? But I surely didn't tell them about my children's ages''.
Also curious about more obscure authors that maybe haven't been published in English.
Thanks!!
I'm going to be in Finland 9-15/06/24 and want to rent an RV and just go around listening to shows. Are there any sites I can use to find local shows. Any recommendations are welcomed.
Thanks
I am 35. Stable job in India ~25lpa. Married an Indian working in Finland. Got residence permit. Job transfer not possible (tried). Haven’t lived in Finland before. Partner has lived there for 5 years before we recently got married (has a stable job there). Open to every piece of advice for career, life and more once I move to Finland. We of course discussed the aspects of her moving back to India as well but agreed on the fact that I should spend some time here to find out long term possibilities.
Staying in Central Helsinki. Help me out please. I can’t travel way too far from here. Recommendations please??
Gonna be in helsinki for 2 weeks. Have already gone to city center, seurasaari, suomenlinna, Pihlajasaari.. any suggestions in and around helsinki.
I have no idea how he came up with that belief. I have yet to shatter his image of our country.
Have I failed or succeeded as a mom?
Long story short, I had an problem which appeared to be a manufacturer’s fault with a Sony product which was bought from Prisma last year. Seeing it was still under warranty (I kept the receipt) as I thought it would be easier to let the Prisma store I bought it from deal with the warranty repair from Sony rather than myself due to time constraints.
This was over 2 weeks ago and all I was told when I returned the item was they will message me when it’s ready. Now, I know it has been only 2 weeks but I have no way of getting any updates on this. The number on the piece of paper I was given is useless as no one ever answers and the email address appears to be for complaints (which I don’t see as a necessary option at this moment in time).
I guess the answer is how long is a piece of string, just curious though if anyone else had any experience with warranty repairs from Prisma and the timescale they experienced.
Thanks in advance!
I'm a permanent resident in Finland and I'm considering starting a small business. I'm a software developer and I might provide my own professional services as a consultant on a contract basis through the company. But I am also hoping I may be able to get investment money, then hire several people to work on the company's own software project. And I might want to use the funds from that initial contract work to then contract others to contribute to a proof of concept that might help in securing investment funding.
...And I don't really know where to start, except that I probably want to talk to a business lawyer in Finland, and I will probably need to create an LLC or toiminimi and a bank account. As an immigrant with poor Finnish skills, how can I go about finding a lawyer to help me through the process without screwing up any legal or tax requirements?
Moi!
Does anyone know a cool place to get your own shirts printed?
It used to be possible to do it at the library, but at the moment they only have the vinyl option with one color, so that doesn't work for what I need.
I'm aware of some commercial places like MBE, but they are quite pricey even if you bring your own textiles. Would there be something more like an open place that you can go and do it yourself?
Thank you!
