I used to have a book laying around - it had, or tried to have, all the email addresses in my country. Like a phonebook for email addresses. That approach didn't last long.
Well, Teams is like that (not "I have wifi issues", but "I have Teams issues"). Even more so after teams.microsoft.com moved to teams.cloud.microsoft - never got the mic or speaker to work after that. Before, it was kind of random.
Zoom, on the other hand.. I have weekly Zoom meetings and never had do to the "can you hear me" thing. Or in fact with basically anything which is not Teams.
In any case.. it's not the network, it's the application/service.
The one I drove (and a much older MF as well) had both. A lever on the steering column, as well as a foot pedal. I've never seen anyone without one elsewhere either, maybe they were only sold that way in my country.
I went through my teenager years driving one of those MF 135 machines. A very versatile tractor. I enjoyed driving tractors (including a much older MF), when I eventually got my car's driver license some years later I found that driving cars weren't really that interesting.
During certain kinds of driving gear shifts became.. tricky. That's when I learned how to double-clutch, something I kept doing on cars as well, for many years after (think going steep uphill on snow and then having to shift into first gear without stopping)
As someone with access to both Japanese ofuro and sauna, they are quite different in some respects. And similar in others. One thing which a sauna could do for me when the ofuro could not, was to fix a problem I had with coughing. Something which plauged me for a long time, and which the doctors couldn't find any reason for, but I had such painful daily coughs that it really bothered me. Couldn't sleep on my back either. Then I noticed that if I used the sauna daily, and carefully breathed hot air, the symptoms lessened. And after going for the daily sauna regime (instead of occasionally) for some time, the coughing problem I had for years finally disappeared. The hot baths did nothing for this (but was good for other things, e.g. muscle pains. And essential for being able to sleep at cold winter nights in non-insulated Japanese homes.. heating up the body with a very long very hot bath does wonders)
Saunas are common in Norway, even if not to the same degree as in Finland.
The reason Finland has had a lower life expectancy than Norway is believed to be due to the difference in diet (cardivascular issues). Note that the diet in Finland has changed quite a lot over the last decades and these differences will presumably level out, statistically.
Don't "tough it out" in a sauna. Stay until it feels uncomfortable, or, if you're not sure, keep track of your heart rate and get out if it increases too much. You'll get used to the sauna after frequenting it for some time, which usually results in being able to stay longer before it feels uncomfortable. Your ability to sweat will improve, for example, including being able to sweat on body parts where you may initially be unable to (it took a long time before my wife's calves "learned" to sweat, for example).
Yep. A problem with public saunas (outside Finland, at least) is that they lower the temperature (to, say below 80) in the misguided belief that this will make it easier for more people to stay longer inside.. which is the wrong way to use a sauna. A sauna should be hot enough that you'll go out when it starts feeling too hot (or hard), not so cold that you'll go outside when you're getting bored. With a hot sauna small children can leave after one or two minutes, some people leave after five, others after ten, and in any case go outside and cool down with a showre (or a lake..), then go back in.
Right, it's just that a sauna at 60 degrees is not warm, it's cold. Take a shower, go into the sauna at 60 degrees C, and it'll feel cold. Nothing happens in a sauna until you're getting near 80, and it's much better if you go somewhat higher (90 or more for active users). 60 is when a sauna will be closed off in public baths because there's a technical problem somewhere.
