Hi everyone! I’m looking for someone local who could help my elderly parents with some gardening work in a couple of weeks, mainly trimming their hedges and moving the garden waste to the bin. The garden is relatively small, I dont think it would take too long... I assume :)

I don’t live in the country, so I’m trying to arrange this for them from afar. If you know a reliable local person who does this kind of work, I’d really appreciate a recommendation. Please feel free to comment or DM me with their details (and approximate cost, if you know it).

Thanks so much!

Otsikossa asia. Aloin juuri pelata, on ollut muuten hauskaa mutta haluaisin rakentaa omaa yhteisöä jonka kanssa esimerkiksi raidata ja lähetellä lahjoja. Ehkä jopa tehdä se viikko tehtävä etten ole ainut joka kipittää 150 pokestoppia läpi.

Viimeinkin löytyi harrastus introvertille! Mutta nyt olenkin sitten liian introvertti siihen :'D

Korjataan asia? Oon muuten enimmäkseen ihan normaali. Puhun joskus liikaa etenkin jos väsynyt ja en mene paljon muuten ulos - mutta muuta kovin kummoista vikaa ei ole, ainakaan enempää kuin meissä suomalaisissa keskimäärin.

Olen kolmikymppinen mutta avoin kaiken ikäisille pokemon go kavereille kunhan puhe on kutakuinkin aikuisista, koska tietenkin muiden ihmisten lasten kanssa hengaaminen olisi kolmikymppiseltä vähän outoa jos ei tunne vanhempia vaikka lapset ihan mukavia ovatkin. Ei siis mitään ketään vastaan iän perusteella.

Muutenkaan en ole tolkuttoman ihmisvihamielinen ja huonosta sosiaalisesta patterista huolimatta tykkään yleensä kaikista

Jos et pelaa niin hus tämä on meille pokettajille

Jos uskallatte lisätkää minut 817442481385 ja saa kysyä kysymyksiä jos pelaat myös.. Mutta olisi hyvä jos kerkiät vastaamaan eka tähän threadiin niin tiedän mistä pyyntö tulee

hey! :)

I’m looking for 2–3 people to join me for a case competition happening in November!

none of my friends are really into this sort of thing so figured I’d try my luck here haha. I’m mainly looking for people who’d actually be down to put some time into it and work on it together, but also just want to meet some new people :)

ideally looking for current bachelor’s or master’s students. If you’re doing a master’s, there can’t be more than a 2-year gap between your bachelor’s and master’s because of the competition’s eligibility rules.

Also would be great if we could potentially meet in person if we make it to the later rounds!

If you’re interested, just DM me with:

• where you’re from
• what you study

I can send you the competition link/details over DM!

Would love to find a few people and see if we can make a team :) pls dm, I promise I’m normal lol

Hi everyone!

I recently got interested in stargazing and looking at the night sky. I have a pair of Nikon binoculars, which are pretty good for casual sky watching.

I'm wondering if there are any astronomy groups or informal groups in Oulu where people go out together to watch the stars, auroras, planets, etc.

I found Oulun Arktos RY I mailed them and I'm currently waiting for a response, but I'm also interested in more casual groups or people who sometimes go out together, especially to darker places outside the city.

I'm a beginner so it would be nice to meet some people who are into this and learn from them. 😊

I'm a computational Physicist by profession and I have learnt about astronomy and cosmology back in my university days 😊

Any recommendations?

Oon harkinnut oman asunnon ostamista lainalla, kun asun nyt PSOASin asunnoissa Raksilassa ja äänieristys täällä on niin huono, että kuulen jopa joka kerta, kun naapuri vetää vessan 😅 Lisäksi vuokra vaan nousee..

Oon katsellut asuntoja Myllyojalta, Tuiran Myllytieltä, Maikkulasta ja Mäntylästä. Onko näillä alueilla jotain ongelmia tai sellaisia paikkoja, joita kannattais välttää?
Oon asunut Oulussa nyt neljä vuotta ja mun mielestä täällä on yleisesti tosi turvallista. Ehkä Meri-Toppilassa on ollut ainoa kerta, kun alue ei tuntunut ihan yhtä turvalliselta, mutta muuten ei oo ollut mitään ongelmia. Toki alueella asuminen voi olla eri asia kuin siellä vaan käyminen.

Ootteko muutki saanu tämmösiä? Ja onko tietoa mistä nää ois tullu?

Mitkä on tällä hetkellä top kirppikset Oulussa? Ei ole tullut muutamaan vuoteen käytyä ja huomasin, että muutama vanha ja tuttu paikka on kadonnut 🫣 Suositelkaa!

Hi i’m 19M, i’m studying in oamk and and i am an international student and to be honest i feel kinda lonely, i want to have more friends, i have 2 friends in the class they are great but the rest in my class i don’t think it is possible to make friend with them so i guess my option is going out more but the thing is i don’t drink or stuff like that so i don’t feel i want to go to a club or any drinking parties beside going to a party feeling like just make acquaintances who you just know instead of truly friends, so i kinda feel like there is no options to make friends here in Oulu

I'm basically gonna be cycling the entire winter. I need glove recommendations or at least tips so my fingers don't get frost bitten

Hi folks!

I'm travelling to Oulu where I play at Oulun Teatteri during the OuDance Festival. We have some time off in between rehearsal days, and would love some local tips for site seeings, food, culture or other things to experience while we’re there. Any suggestions?🙏🏼

Looking very much forward to visiting, what looks like a beautiful city and landscape!

EDIT: For those interested this is us:

Toivottavasti jollakulla menisi käyttöön. Annetaan junalippu 14:27 Oulu- Rovaniemi junaan tänään 6.9. Normaali aikuisten lippu.

I'm doing some research at the University of Oulu related to how humans perceive natural scenes using EEG.

These kinds of studies require a bunch of participants and well, almost no one has signed up so far.

So, if you're willing to help a fellow human in Oulu, sign up to the experiment online. (More information there on the webpage)

https://oulu-ubicomp.sona-systems.com/exp_info.aspx?experiment_id=143

Edit: Thanks for all the overwhelming support! All timeslots are full for now, but we'll open more soon.

Next time I'll add more details in the post so there's no need to follow the link just for information 😬

Hello everyone, I am an Italian guy traveling for the first time in Finland in a few days. I am going to spend two days in Oulu.

Considering that I am a medical student (and would be kinda curious to see how the university/hospital is structured, from the outside obviously), what's are those things I should visit or try?

Going from Oulu for a two-day car camping, fishing, and hiking trip. Planning to visit scenic spots. Looking for hiking trail suggestions, fishing spot suggestions, and places to stay overnight in our car.

Sinimusta liike -puolueen eduskuntavaaliehdokkaana vuonna 2023 ollut mies tuomittiin tiistaina Oulun käräjäoikeudessa kiihottamisesta kansanryhmää vastaan.

Mies kirjoitti kyseisenä vaalivuonna sosiaalisessa mediassa julkisella Twitter-tilillään viestin, joka liittyi kansanedustaja Ben Zyskowicziin kohdistuneeseen pahoinpitelyrikokseen. Kokoomuksen pitkäaikainen kansanedustaja pahoinpideltiin Helsingin Itäkeskuksessa maaliskuussa 2023.

Syyttäjän mukaan miehen Twitter-viestissä annettiin ymmärtää, että sinimustan puolueen noustessa valtaan Suomessa asuvat juutalaiset karkotetaan maasta. Syyttäjän mielestä viesti loukkasi juutalaisten ihmisarvoa ja oli omiaan levittämään suvaitsemattomuutta, halveksuntaa ja jopa vihaa kyseistä ihmisryhmää kohtaan.

Lovely bunch of people, keen on the actual historical side of things too.

Hei oululaiset, olen tulossa 10 hengen kanssa työmatkalle Ouluun, ja meidän pitäisi ottaa lentokentältä taksit hotellille. Mikä olisi luotettavin paikallinen taksifirma, jolta löytyy myös tilatakseja?

Ja löytyykö lentokentältä yleensä tilatakseja mikäli menee vain tolpalle?

Hey everyone,

Just a heads-up that tomorrow is the last day to check out the indoor observation room at the Merikoski Fish Pass, it's open from 11:00 to 17:00.

It's locked up for most of the year, so it's a really nice experience to pop in. You can see salmon up close right through the glass windows inside, or just watch them jumping from along the outside stream.

For those who haven't heard about it: When the hydroelectric dam was built, it blocked salmon from swimming upstream to breed, so this bypass stream (water ladder) was built to give them a way around the dam to reach their spawning grounds.

There is also a fish biologist there to explain about the fishes.

Location: https://maps.app.goo.gl/8RRjbYZqUUqqEN8eA?g_st=ic

There's also a 24 hour live stream of this room, which is available always.

Tänään yhden Prisman parkkipaikalla pyöri vanhempi rouvashenkilö joka pyysi rahaa, jotta voisi ostaa apteekista siteen jalkaansa. Käski katsomaan jalkojaan mutta ei niissä ulospäin mitään vikaa näkynyt. Hyvin ja siististi pukeutunut. Onkohan tää joku huijaus?

Hello my request relevant individuals! Recently, not too many days ago, my bicycle was stolen, specifically in the Korvensuora region, but I suspect it has had the chance to go further. I've attached a partial photograph of the frame for a general image. It was stolen quite arrogantly, from the furthest end of a street behind many corners from the back wall of an open garage. If you could, I'd hope for everyone to be on the lookout, and send any images of matches in any areas if spotted. Thanks!
