No, the set itself was simple, and so were the instructions, but it was so precisely built (full metal too) that every piece, screw and nut had to be positioned perfectly to fit. Millimeter in the wrong direction and the nuts didn’t have enough depth to grip the screws. Fiddly as fuck and impossible to find the correct position by means other than just trial and error.

Given how Finland is mostly forest, I would not be surprised if it is uncommon for Finns to actually have trees in their garden, because that would be overkill.

Well there's starting problem that facemasks don't have "nanoworms" in them and you shouldn't need to to place hydrogen peroxide there in the first place. Maybe I should have included the parts about Bill Gates and Satan.

Mind you, Conservapedia still exists. The demise of Yahoo! Answers will only put a minor dent in the ongoing online misinformation initiative.

We bought a hedge trimmer but damn if we know how to shape them properly. We decided just to cut the tall branches and hope for the best.
