It’s always the fucking DNS. .__.

I’ll just comment about one thing that keeps popping up in the discussions: grid-level storage. There is no such thing yet really that would last a full day cycle, and the 100MW or so units we are building are mostly for frequency stabilization and for buying enough time to turn on a base-load plant when the renewables drop out. I’m not arguing against storage - it is absolutely needed.

The problem is the scale, which people don’t seem to get. Largest amount of energy we can currently repeatedly store and release is with pumped hydro, and the locations where this is possible are few and far between. Once the batteries reach this level-of-capacity, then we have a possibility to use them as grid-level storage that lasts a few days instead of hours.

What pressuring? They’re scared to shit to point of hallucinating threats because they think because we have a prime-eval grudge against them.

If they magically would co-operate with us, drop their shit we would more than happy resume the trade with them.

Our sorrow of the year is the death of Martti Ahtisaari, a Peace Nobelist. May his legacy to be respected in honor, his wisdom would be in great need as of today.

Sauli Niinistö, who will soon peacefully leave us as a president and join the same history books. Sad we can’t have a another Kekkonen, depends who you ask. I hope the next president will have a stone cool head in this heated world.:)

Finland’s blank NATO papers were kept in a safe (30 years figuratively?) and as soon as the war(s) started to cause us harm, they were pulled out of the safe and ratified.

From the news at the time of NATO ratification: “Look in the mirror” - Sauli Niinistö

From the news of the last two weeks: Now the eastern border is pretty much closed for the foreseeable future.

My armchair stance: If the Soviets angered nearly 4 million Finns in the 1940s who had only pitchforks and cows and the result was 126 875 dead and 188 671 wounded Soviets. ^{[*](https://fi.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talvisota)} Now there is a nation of +5 600 000 grumpy Finns with access to modern weaponry and a bitter memories of the past…

I don’t know what the russian leaders are hallucinating trying to anger us more? :P
