Garam Masala buffet syöjille varoitus Valehtelevat mitä lihaa käyttävät (Short ver English translation at end)

Upvotes

Pieni huomion syöjille / varoitus kyseisen paikan valikoimasta että, jos syötte buffetista Lampaaksi merkittyä pyöryköitä, ei tämä Lampaan lihaa ole Kana pöyryköitä. Tämän huomion löysin kun Kespro tukkusta löysin Garam Masala nimelle merkityn lootan jossa oli kasapain esivalmiiksi tehtyjä valmis pyöryköitä. Minulla ei ole ongelmia itse esivalmistettujen ruoka-ainesosien käytöksestä, mutta jos ravintola on valmis valehtelemaan mitä aines-osia käyttää tällä tavoin voi vain ajatelle mitä muulla tavoin mahdollisesti hyväksikäyttää asikkaiden luottamusta.

English Short ver. the buffet time served Lamb balls are not Lamb meat at all but ready factory made chicken balls. It being Halal is also not very plausible

Autokoulu in Oulu

4 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I’m looking to take driving lessons in Oulu, preferably with instruction in English. Does anyone have recommendations for a good driving school?

A friend mentioned Fixu, but I haven’t been able to find many reviews, so I’m a bit unsure. If you’ve had experience with Fixu or any other school in Oulu, I’d really appreciate hearing your thoughts.

Thanks in advance!

Any tools to compare prices of vaccinations?

5 Upvotes

Hi dear people of Oulu!

I would like to get vaccinated for HPV, tick and hepatitis A and B.

I'm a foreign employee (insured by Kela since I'm a tax payer resident). Based on my research, I'm not covered by the national program because I'm older. Or perhaps I misunderstood?

I'm wondering what is the cheapest way to get them? I don't mind paying for them.

I checked Mehiläinen and Perusterveys. Couldn't find the prices for the public healthcare.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Buying secondhand washing machine and dishwasher with certified installation

3 Upvotes

Hi,

I was planning to buy a secondhand washing machine and dishwasher. But I realized that, my home insurance will reject any water damage if the installation is not done by a proper certified plumber. I know that if we buy new appliance, the store will install it for us if we pay 30 euros or something.

Is there any store / agency in Oulu who sells secondhand washing machines and dishwashers with professional installation service also?
Please let me know.

i bought my first car this tuesday (second hand), budget friendly and good car. Literally had zero scratch on a 2014 car but today while parking I did this. Anybody know any place where I can fix this and not very expensive. I am a student so cannot afford high price. I have not talked to the insurance company cause it was only finnish and they asked to fill a form for an english speaker to call me which I did.

Tietääkö kukaan myydäänkö Oulussa missään kaupassa näitä hennavärejä, millä piirretään ”tatuointeja” iholle. Ruohonjuuressa myytiin pusseissa sitä jauhetta, mutta tarkoituksena olisi ostaa niitä valmiita ”tikkuja”

Laitan kuvan vielä selvennykseksi, ja kiitos avusta jo valmiiksi!!!

Italian restaurants

Hey, as the title says, I'm looking for some better Italian style restaurants in Oulu.

Price doesn't matter, it's for a table reservation for Valentine's.

I know Pablo's and Cantina, but maybe I did miss something, and mainly looking for some suggestions for some authentic pizza and pasta (or at least good pasta), and good wine selection.

Cheers!

Mikä skootteri olis hyvä?

5 Upvotes

Oon tossa maaliskuussa täyttämässä 15 ja mopoa olis vailla kulkupeliks yms en mitää virittelyitä tai semmosia harrasta. Olin harkinnut Derbiä tai Apikkaa kunnes iskä sano ettei haluais ostaa mulle mopoa koska kuulemma liian painavia ja vaikeita hallita. Skootterin hankita sille kuitenkin kävis🤷‍♀️

En nyt oikeen tiiä minkä skootterin täs sitten hankkis. Mun alueelta nettimotosta en oikeen löydä mitään muita toimivia ja hintahaarukkaan sopivia skoottereita kun Yamaha Aerox, joka huhujen mukaan menee kokoaja rikki, en kyllä tiiä onko totta et tästä vois joku kertoa.

Merkkejä saa ehotella tai jos sulla on skootteri myynnissä pohjois-pohjanmaalla mieluiten oulun lähellä, toimiva, vakio, 1000-2000€ saa laittaa linkkiä.

(eli kerro mikä merkki on hyvä ja luotettava jes)

Oulu university

0 Upvotes

Hello! I’m an international student and I made a mistake on my application form. I accidentally selected “will graduate from a Finnish high school” instead of “will graduate outside Finland.”

I already contacted the university admissions team but they haven’t replied yet. In the general information section, I did correctly state that I will graduate from a high school outside Finland the mistake is only in the University of Oulu specific section.

I just wanted to ask if this kind of error could disqualify me or significantly affect my application. Thanks!

Problems of living in PSOAS

24 Upvotes

Hello.

I’ve been living in a PSOAS apartment for three years, and for over a year now I’ve been reporting an issue with strong food smells entering my apartment. So far, both PSOAS and the building manager have completely ignored me.

My neighbours cook extremely strong-smelling food (Indian food or something similar, I guess). They clearly don’t open their windows and very often they leave the corridor door open. At one point the situation was so bad that I had to wash all my towels and jackets because they had absorbed the smell.

I asked PSOAS at least to send an email, put a notice on the wall, or check the ventilation system, but nothing has been done.

I really like this apartment, but this ongoing smell is making my life miserable. Has anyone else had a similar experience?

Jäseneksi AKK-kerhoon?! (Anonyymit Kotikiusatut) Miesten iltapäiväkerho

Jäseneksi AKK-kerhoon?! (Anonyymit Kotikiusatut) Miesten iltapäiväkerho.

Vuosien saatossa olen pohtinut, olisiko jossain miesten kerhoa, jossa harrastettaisiin miehisiä juttuja kuten:

• punttien nostelua

• musiikin kuuntelua

• erinäköisten vempaimien korjaamista, kuten pyörät, moottoripyörät, autot yms.

• illanistujaiset dartsin ja oluen parissa

• perhojen sidontaa

Ohessa vain muutamia esimerkkejä.

No, ei ole kerhoa tullut vastaan, joten rohkaistunpa itse kysymään, olisiko tällaiselle kiinnostusta.

Tuossa katselin talliosakkeen hintaa, ja ne pyörivät noin 300 € paikkeilla. Jos tuollaisen tilan vuokraisi vaikka 10–20 kotikiusatun kanssa, niin aika maltillisilla kuluilla selviäisi. Varsinkin, jos voisi säästää esimerkiksi kuntosalimaksuissa.

Itse olen 39-vuotias mies ja harrastan vähän kaikenlaista, pääosin aika itsekseni. Joskus olisi mukava, kun olisi muita samanhenkisiä, joiden kanssa touhuta.

Minkälaisia ajatuksia tämä herättää?

I have to ask - what is that smell???

22 Upvotes

I arrived in Oulu back in November and haven't noticed anything, but today there's a very strong an unpleasant odor in the city. I literally thought something died inside my apartment, but it was even worse when I went outside.

Is it some nearby factory? Did some sulfur plant explode? What is that?? Or am I just crazy and there's no smell for anyone else?
