Finland

Vero.fi states that

For each child under the age of 18 in your custody, you are entitled to a €50 increase to the maximum amount of the credit for work income. If you are a single parent, the increase is doubled.

This seems like a joke. This is like 4.16€ per month. Is this really everything they give, or will it automatically increase over the years?

I know that there are also other benefits for parents, but I do not understand why there is a separate law to give each parent 4.16€/child/month via taxes.

The independence day is off to a good start.

28m/s = 100.8km/h

That's quite a lot.

I would like to buy some parts for an electronics project. Specifically, a bread board, some wires, some basic components like resistors, transistors and LEDs in bread board form. I'm looking for a more specialised store that sells a larger variety of these things.

Is there any store in Helsinki where I can physically go and buy this? Do you have a favourite online store that delivers to Finland where you can buy this stuff?

Edit

Thanks for all the replies! I now ordered from kouluelektroniikka, they processed the order within one day, very good service. And they had a starter kit with a bread board and some basic elements. This is nice because then I didn't have to pick everything myself, only the more special stuff.

I am studying Finnish and would like to try some of the foods talked about in the lessons. Internet searches are mostly returning results about the foods and not actual recipes.

The recipes i would like to find are lörtsy (sweet, and savory, however i am a vegetarian so i am not after meat fillings), pulla, ruisleipä, karjalanpiirakka, and i recently heard about blueberry pies with rye crust on TikTok (no idea what they are called).

Recipes can be in Finnish, i welcome translating them. I did that with my leipäjuustoa recipe.

Edit: i found a lörtsy with caramelized onion and gruyere filling recipe

It's attractive, it looks friendly, it's genuinely good, yet for no good reason, it tries to convince you it's not really that great 🙂

Finnish media reports that Windows95man will be able to perform under their existing name at the Eurovision Song Contest 2024.

The Finnish representative will not be required to change their name for Eurovision 2024 according to Ilta-Sanomat. There had been discussions regarding whether Windows95man would be required to change his name due to brand advertising being in breach of the contest rules.

However, Windows95man will be required to make changes to the outfit he will wear on the Eurovision stage. The Microsoft Windows 95 operating system logo will need to be adapted for the performance, Teemu Keisteri commented:
