@matigo The phone has been in rice for a while but the glasses were not found. Maybe I will bike there tonight to check if someone has found them after she left the beach.
Appendum 2: she lost her brand new glasses too when the phone took the dive. ?♂
@larand Yup. I know a big part of the alphabet already so it shouldn’t be that big task to learn them all. But I would just need to find the time to take a proper look.
@larand Had to look up a couple of the letters to decipher the city name. Which leads to the notion that I would like to study Russian too. If not for anything else than understanding written instructions here and there.
Appendum: she got the phone back above the surface fairly quickly. Let’s wait until tomorrow to see if it would still work.
@33mhz Yeah… Also, she was pushing her limits with other things. She went to the beach with her friend from school and she was supposed to be back home at 3. She came at 4 and she was hangry. [urbandictionary.com] I knew her blood sugar would drop too far if she would stay too long there, but apparently she still thinks she knows herself better. ?
@peemee The cruise control in our car is even simpler: on and off switches and the increment/decrement is ~3 km/h. It has no memory slot for the previously set speed, IIRC.
I had forgotten how boring driving is when you drive 120 km/h on a fairly straight and dull highway. Drove to Tampere to visit my sister (and now we are back). It takes about 2 hours of almost completely on high-speed (100 or 120 km/h, which are the highest allowed speeds here) highways one way. Also, the car has cruise control that means that I didn’t need to press the gas pedal for a long, long time.
@larand Yeah, Microsoft took quite much artistic liberties there. Google got closer, though Jaakko threw a stone from the stove of a sauna. I wonder from how did they come up with stomach there.
For the background, the waters are hottest, statistically speaking, on the day when it’s the name day of Jaakko. Hence, folklore saying that Jaakko throws a (cold) stone and the waters start cooling.
