For a few weeks now I've been looking for t-shirts produced, not only in the EU, but especially in my home country, Finland. What an ordeal it has been.

I slowly found some websites for companies that produced their clothes beginning from producing the fabric itself. (We can't exactly grow bamboo or cotton up here!) However, most of them only sold women's clothing.

However, I did manage to locate 5 shops of which one had extremely flamboyant styles and one had twice the price as the others.

But I finally had 3 shops! I ordered a couple of shirts from each and the first order arrived today.

I'm super happy; I've been needing to update my worn out t-shirts for quite some time now!

No matter whether I have this option turned on or off, I always have child comments visible.

Anyone else have this issue?

Fine, I guess it's a draw.

Edit:
I see the posts on piefed in the browser.

The rivalry started with a comedy sketch from New Year's Eve 2012-2013. Televised comedy shows on New Year's Eve is a Dutch tradition, comedians make jokes about the past year, and are widely watched. This comedian pointed out that Finland often beats us by a small margin, and the sketch also names a bunch of things where Finland beats us. It was referenced on /r/theNetherlands [on Reddit] a few times and it grew from there over the years. Eventually it expanded to European subreddits, particularly /r/Europe, and from there eventually all over Reddit.

The sketch: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vAOxW5dzGjk Show by Erik van Muiswinkel, assisted by Rob Urgert and Joep van Deudekom.

Translation of the sketch

We top the fun lists! We have the highest density of children's freight bicycles in the world! Our Royal Family beats the others at toilet throwing. We still hold the world record for a free fall. An Austrian, mr Baumgartner, has tried to take that away from us, but he failed! The world record for free fall is still in the hands of the Dutch christriandemocratic party, by far! A 20 year-long non-stop downward trajectory is unheard of anywhere else!

Furthermore we score very well at reintegrating criminals using public television, that's possible almost nowhere else. We are high on the list of countries that dare send someone dressed as an Indian to the Eurovision Song Contest. And every year we are high on the list of happiest people on Earth. When I read that I always get a warm feeling inside, us Dutchies are very happy apparently! One small irritation that I have is that in many of those lists we are always below Finland. No idea why. Happiness too, the Finnish are happier than we are. Why? I don't really understand.... yeah, I know they drink themselves into a coma every day, that's a strange way to become happier.  

It's a little bit more nuanced than that!

Ah there they are! My fact checkers Urgert and Van Deudekom. That's fun! Fact checking is typically 2012. We first saw that in the talkshow Pauw & Witteman.

No, no, no. It started at News Hour

Yes, it started with News Hour. Fun concept that came over from the UK

No, no. It actually comes from the USA.

Yes, of course. A typically American thing. But at least it typifies 2012!

Not really, no. It has existed for a while. (Accompanying image)

Well, you've noticed! My fact checkers are quite good.

No, no! We are the very best! We won a prize!   So, we checked mr. Van Muiswinkels statement. Are the Finns really happier than the Dutch? We'll take a look at this map of the world's happiness. The orange countries give themselves a happiness score between 6.5 and 7.5. There's only one country that gives itself a higher score, and that's indeed Finland. So the statement is true. We then checked why the Finns are happier, and it turns out that's because they like beating the Netherlands with these lists. We checked some other statements of mr Van Muiswinkel. We are obviously not the country with the most criminals on public tv, that's Russia. And regarding countries that sent an Indian to the Eurovision Song Contest he seems to have forgotten Finland's entry last year. And the year before that. And 1997. And 1963. In fact, at the very first Eurovision Song Contest the Finns already sent an Indian! But are we always below the Finns? Nooo! We found some lists where we are all the way at the top. We are at the top of the list, above the Finns, of western countries that spend least on primary education. And since this year we are the country with the most injuries from television. And we are the only country in the world where a movie about a disaster was considered worse than the disaster itself. Even better, it's the only movie about World War II where everyone hopes the Nazis are going to win.

Statistics where The Netherlands and Finland compete for glory.

I just played through the serene, calm, relaxing first person puzzle game Botany Manor, and would really like to continue on that same path.
What other games can you recommend that would sweap me away into a stress free world of slow exploration?

I found a post from a year ago which asked the same question, however, it was for xbox, and I need something that I can pull out of my pocket when I cozy down into the corner of our couch. I normally PC game, but that's not the place for such experiences.

All suggestions appreciated, and a small reason why it's similar much appreciated.

Basically the title.

Do pictures really need a limit to how far you can zoom?

It annoys me to no end when there's a larger image that I'd really like to zoom in to view a detail and I run into an arbitrary wall just too far away.

Näin tämän, tuli Suomi mieleen.
