  • I somewhat vaguely remember reports from the beginning of the invasion of Ukraine and talks about Finland joining NATO, that the region around Murmansk is a somewhat problematic spot for Russia. They have a huge military presence there and it’s also one of their bases equipped with atomic bombs that threaten the west/NATO. But on the other hand land based access is only possible along the long and thin stretch of land along the Finnish border in an area that presumably is hard to defend.










  • They’re a German invention and well known here. There are several variations, they’re usually a kind of sport/balance toy for kids and teens - but there are also some for medical uses. You can find some variants in pictures here: https://de.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pedalo_(Spielgerät)

    They’re also a recurring German meme, although I don’t really know why. The Wikipedia link above mentions them, but only says that it started with an image of a guy on Pedalos with the caption “Bruder muss los” (Bro needs to go) referencing a situation that you want to get out of, but have only inconvenient methods to leave.
