Quick scanlation from Finnish comic book Pahkasika, issue 9, published in 1981.

Modern update: Flight AY286 + HSL’s metropolitan P train will actually get you to Helsinki in 1h 55m. Ah ha! So the trains fix this shit! However, as a Northern witchy biaatch, I’m still flabbergasted by the fact that Jyväskylä is in the southern Finland and they don’t even get a Pendolino link to Helsinki. We do, here in Oulu. Please do get better, scrubs.

* Edit: Fucked up the last line in the scanlation. Jyväskylä to Helsinki, obviously.

** Wait Lemmy let me also replace uploaded fuck-ups? This is the best platform ever

      We built our own civilization! With blackjack and hookers! And world class (or well above world class, since average world class tends to suck) cycling infrastructure!

    I went to Jyväskylä and all it got me was some fun time at the playground in Mäki-Matti, a nice tree climbing Geocache, enlightening times at the Alvar Aalto Museum and the first beach trip (Tuomiojärven) in my daughters life

    Taking the fast train from Heathrow to Paddington was a revelation for me. Even the LIRR from JFK to Penn Station is good. Not fast but very consistent. LAX is like this cartoon. It’s only gotten worse.

    This is a similar thing as some of Xeno’s paradoxes.

    The first pane says length of flight. Last pane says length of trip.

    Unless you lived every close to the airport, you never managed the trip in 2.5 hours with the older planes.
