I want to be clear that severely cutting off humanitarian aid to any civilian population around the world because a resistance group -which has been labelled a terrorist organization by an occupational force and its' imperial supporters of mass genocide -because this said 'terrorist' group had members allegedly 'apart' of the October 7th, 2023 attack... is a form of COLLECTIVE PUNISHMENT.

Denying basic necessities to Palestinian people -from the lack to inadequate access to food, water, medical supplies and treatment, electricity and fuel for months now -has already been/remains a crime against humanity that the IOF has rampantly been committing.

The UNRWA is supposed to provide health care, relief and social services -and involves itself in emergency responses during times of crisis, and so much more... so by cutting funds because of what I mentioned above, you're effectively saying ALL Palestinian people are terrorists who must be punished when they have done NOTHING. And any person who reduces this to a mere 'coincidence,' you are surely missing the point here.

"Heat stored underground in caverns can be set aside in Finland’s summer months to be re-used during frigid winters thanks to a state-of-the-art ‘seasonal energy’ storage facility.

Slated for construction this summer near Helsinki, it will be the largest in the world by all standards and contain enough thermal energy to heat a medium-sized city all winter.

Thermal exchange heating systems, like those built underground, or domestic heat pumps, are seen as the most effective way available of reducing the climate-impact of home heating and cooling.

Their function relies on natural forces or energy recycling to cool down or heat up water and then using it to radiate hot or cold energy into a dwelling.

In Vantaa, Finland’s fourth largest city neighboring the capital of Helsinki, the ambitious Varanto seasonal energy storage project plans to store cheap and environmental friendly waste heat from datacenters, cooling processes, and waste-to-energy assets in underground caverns where it can be used to heat buildings via the district heating network whenever it is needed.

In Finland and other Nordic countries, the heat consumption varies significantly between seasons. Heat consumption in the summertime is only about one-tenth of the peak load consumption during the cold winter months.

Varanto will utilize underground caverns equal in space to two Maddison Square Gardens—over a million cubic meters—filled with water heated by this waste heat and pressure that will allow the water to reach temperatures of up to 300 degrees Fahrenheit without the water boiling or evaporating.

“The world is undergoing a huge energy transition. Wind and solar power have become vital technologies in the transition from fossil fuels to clean energy,” says Vantaa Energy CEO Jukka Toivonen.

“The biggest challenge of the energy transition so far has been the inability to store these intermittent forms of energy for later use. Unfortunately, small-scale storage solutions, such as batteries or accumulators, are not sufficient; large, industrial-scale storage solutions are needed. Varanto is an excellent example of this, and we are happy to set an example for the rest of the world.” ...

“Two 60-MW electric boilers will be built in conjunction with Varanto,” adds Toivonen. “These boilers will be used to produce heat from renewable electricity when electricity is abundant and cheap. Our heat-producing system will work like a hybrid car: alternating between electricity and other forms of production, depending on what is most advantageous and efficient at the time.”

... Construction of the storage facility’s entrance is expected to start in summer 2024, while it could be operational as early as 2028."

One day, about a month ago, I went to my usual grocery store to do some shopping. Thinking, I will buy some Myllyn Paras Makaroni, cause we're out of it and it's the default macaroni that everyone keeps stocked in their pantry. I reach the pasta aisle and am greeted by empty shelves. What? Is there another pandemic that I'm unaware of? Is it the war in Ukraine? No. Turns out that the one machine that churns the macaroni for the whole Finland is broken. And that's how the Finns faced a great macaroni shortage in the summer of 2023.

#idk i find this so funny #like a fucking macaroni machine broke and the finns are losing their minds #at this point it's the new small talk topic to talk about which makaroni you've found the second best for macaroni casserole #and wondering how long it will take to get back our beloved myllyn paras makaroni #mun posti #suomipaskaa #finland

Finland's Parliament has voted 113-69 in favour of making changes to the nation's transgender laws.

There were 17 MPs absent from the vote, and no abstentions.

The result means that transgender individuals can legally change their gender by self-declaration alone, without having to undergo a lengthy medical process — including a psychiatric assessment — as under the previous law.

The changes will also see the abolition of a requirement that transgender people must be unable to reproduce.

Under Finland's previous law, transgender people were required to provide a medical certificate proving they are sterile, in order to legally confirm their true gender.

Prime Minister Sanna Marin (SDP) had previously said that getting the amendments through parliament during this term in office was a priority for her government, but the proposal hit several stumbling blocks as it made its way through parliamentary committees.

Government party MPs voted along party lines during Wednesday afternoon's session, with the exception of Centre Party respresentatives, who had been told they could vote as a "matter of conscience" — meaning each individual MP decides themselves how to vote — rather than necessarily with the government.
