@pekkatahkola This looks absolutely magical, like something straight out of a winter fairy tale. totally brings me back to growing up in Canada in this kind of deep‑freeze glow.
I love it, but I can’t stop thinking that biking on what looks like a frozen sugar glaze has to be way more dangerous than these calm photos suggest 😲
@pekkatahkola @inVinnieVeritas By the snow you can drive without any problems. "like frozen sugar glaze" - it’s like this. 😁 -
It is rather beautiful here in Oulu 🇫🇮, right now. Absolutely no filters needed at all 🤌
-20°C, wind chill -28°C.This is one of our main cycling and walking routes (#8) and here we have a 5 km stretch with ZERO at-grade crossings with motor traffic. I repeat, it's physically impossible to meet any motor traffic here. So it is very peaceful, safe and comfortable to ride and walk completely uninterrupted. Just bliss.
It looks magical!

@pekkatahkola Tried to navigate that frozen glaze on my bike last time it snowed here in Brussels going back home from work.
Slipped and fell 3 times before walking next to the bike 😅 Took this picture to remember what caused all those falls.
From memory nobody biked on the other side of the Atlantic back in the 80s to early/mid 90s.
@pekkatahkola @inVinnieVeritas How I understand you! 😂 -

@pekkatahkola @PapyrusBrigade Looks beautiful (and safe as a bonus!)

@inVinnieVeritas Doesn't look like anyone has ever heard of maintenance there 🙄

@tg9541 Wondering that too. Poor fella might have been damaged and or stolen, and abandoned, and/or maybe set aside by the snow plow driver. Still seems mostly bicycle-shaped though. No idea 🤷
@pekkatahkola I've been to Oulu; stayed there for a night, worked on the airport tarmac on a September day. I no longer remember why it was so important to be there, but I liked the town, and memories of some places are still vivid after 20 years.

This morning I cycled a bit on streets that were frozen over - slippery enough that getting on the bike was a challenge. Riding was relatively safe, thanks to studded tires.

@sheislaurence Haha, that seems to happen surprisingly often 😅 You're at least the second person in the last five years to say that 🤭

@pekkatahkola The temps here are not much different. But we've got those huge trucks. And way too much ice, not the good kind, the kind with guns and nazîs. I want out of here.

@retech Yeah. Ice needs to be and stay out.

@pekkatahkola Is Oulu the City of the crying-man-choire?

@pekkatahkola not having to wear a helmet to protect yourself from inconsiderate car driver related eventualities frees up your head for a floofy hat too,,,,

@CIMB4 Exactly. Or whatever you want to wear 🤗

@Zimtfisch I don't know about the crying ones, but screaming ones yes: https://www.huutajat.org/en/
Although I don't think "screaming" is a perfect translation either, but that's what they seem to go with themselves so whatever 😅

@mwl Sad to read. Condolences.

@Fradipicche
Ragionamento condivisibile. Quello che temo non è la delega in sé, quanto il fatto che delegando non esercito più quel tipo di abilità/competenza, e sappiamo che il nostro apprendimento è basato anche sull'allenamento, sulla ripetizione, sull'analisi. Se delegò ad una macchina queste azioni delego in parte anche il mio essere persona.

I'll be at @team tonight and tomorrow in London. If you want to talk about the open standard social networking protocol, ActivityPub, and how publishers are using it right now for permissionless social publishing, please come say hello.

@Nickiquote I'm terrified of needles so the idea of a tattoo scares me. Yet I do want to have a zip tattooed on my hip replacement scar which is about 30cm long...
It'll probably stay as an unimplemented idea, due to the potential infection risk. I'm mildly immunocompromised.
