Yeah, I’m trying the store idea, looking into collab with a bar or a restoraunt, or a brewery. No luck so far, maybe I’ll just open my own bar someday.

Thanks for suggestions!

thank you!

Yeah, I’ve been promoting stuff in Fediverse and through local brewers stores (which are not exactly doing well themselves). I can’t just go ahead and advertise something related to alcohol, apparently it’s one of the most popular downfalls of new hipster breweries - illegal advertising. And I do not want to promote stuff through Meta and X and Linkedin. Thus I expected some network effect - but so far clearly things are quite bad.

If you are still looking for yeast, please welcome to my webstore store.zymologia.fi or DM, I have more under the bench.

These guys had more than that. I shopped there about once a year, the shirts did last - on children, this is unusual - and they just look awesome, he wears those to competition music concerts, just kid’s t-shirts, and they look totally appropriately stylish.

I’m not even talking here about why my stuff in unique and best lol.

You were right! They do indeed make filters in EU from EU produced fabric! And they were kind enough to offer me a roll to buy, but by that time I ran out of cash. I hope I’ll recover soon and go ahead and give it a test.

And, furthermore, large potential market for less-than-masterpiece artisanal is in DIY. But kitchen knives are occupational hazard if they are crappy. Needless to say, there is an artisan smith in my village, so who cares for brands.

Fiskars still makes knives in Finland, their chinese chef is something like 30 Eur, Finnish chef is 250 Eur, versus japanese or swiss at 150 Eur. Duh. Such is the cost of labor here.

And all steel stock for abovementioned blades (except for chinese) just comes from Japan anyway lol.

No, it’s mostly “what else can we do with a good forge (and guys who keep smiths operational)?”

And then, sadly, “how do we improve sales performance for things where customer would not notice it’s unethical shit”

They have a brewery too!

Also Sorsakoski is my neighbour village just across the lake, yay, mom, look, we are on TV!

Fiskars things are good as long as they are actually made in Finland. Pity that many of their products are just chinese junk and you’ve got to read the labels even though you know the brand.

LLMs are useful, mostly, for fooling investors. Looks like here this application is paramount.

looks really good, something to rewrite in Rust some day!

where is duckduckgo on this chart?

Nice one! Just got my tires obliterated an hour ago, thanks for timely advice!

People should stop using this corrupt central point of failure server, not fund it. Fund small distributed ones, pay 10 bucks to your nerdy friend to run Hetzner instance. Actually, yeah, I’m one of those nerdy friends, CoI, but really, the whole point of protocol is decentralization.

It has not much use in Finland anyway, and some banks do not even support any integration. I do not understand why would anyone use it, even though I lived in different countries when it was all hype, never even considered enrolling. Like letting some entity you don’t trust that’s not even governed by your laws with you money? No, thanks.

Damn these translated abbriviations are tough. For me they were BRD and DDR

Wtf how Scandinavia and Japan are not on top?

Funny thing about Germany, after all these years, quality differs a lot between west and former ussr ghetto. Knowing this saves lots of cash.

They’ve got good guitars
