Hi,
we’re four guys, and we’ve put together Westminster’s restaurant scene in an app called Vota. The concept is simple: you see two places side by side (for example Famille vs. Kachina Southwestern Grill), you choose the place you’d rather go to, and the ranking updates instantly. The more people vote, the more accurate the list gets over time. There are still a few duplicates here and there, but I’m continuously cleaning up the data.

Here’s the iPhone version, with categories that actually fit Westminster’s food scene:
https://apps.apple.com/app/vota-restaurant-ratings/id6744969212

And here’s the Android version (finally live):
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.vota.app

P.S. I’m not from Westminster (I live in Gothenburg). I’m not collecting data, not selling anything, and the app does not use AI-generated content. I’m posting in a few different subreddits because we now support more regions, and I genuinely want honest feedback from people who actually know the area.

Does Oulu want to murder my car?

Why are there extremely sharp edges in the asphalt at the bridge that connects Oulu? Is this something temporary or is this bridge trying to destroy as many wheels as possible?

Sanginjoki - mistä päin rapuja kannattaa yrittää?

Moi! Onko täällä joku käynyt viime aikoina ravustamassa Sanginjoella?

Oon menossa ekaa kertaa kokeilemaan ja pari mertaa on jo hommattu. Osaisko joku vinkata, miltä kohtaa Sanginjokea kannattais lähteä kokeilemaan?

Ei tarvii kertoa mitään omaa salaista mestaa😄 Ihan joku suunta/alue riittää.

Onko sieltä muuten tänä vuonna tullut rapuja vai onko ollut aika hiljaista?

Kiitos jo etukäteen!

Get solar filter for viewing solar eclipse

Hi,
As you might know, we have a partial solar ellipse this Wednesday from 20:00 till 21:45. I'm planning to observe it.
However, I need a solar filter or a "DIN14" welding glass to observe it safely.

I do not have time to buy it online. Is there any shops in Oulu from where we can buy / rent this for Wednesday?

P.S: you can't use X-ray sheets as they don't block IR/UV rays and will damage your eyes.

Thanks for any advice 😊

Mitä kannattaisi tehdä?

Olin Oulun yöhuikassa menossa vessaan ja eräs naisoletettu esti pääsyni miesten vessaan vedoten siihen että en ole mies, vaikka ulkoisesti näytän täysin mieheltä. Kun tuli sopiva tilaisuus niin livahdin tämän vessapoliisin ohi vessaan kuselle ja kun tulin pois niin hän potkaisi mua jalkaan ja sanoi että "sä palat helvetissä" jalka on nyt siitä kohdin hieman kipeä. Onko mitään järkeä tehdä rikosilmoitusta kun en tekijää tunne ja hän poistui vikkelästi paikalta jälkeenpäin.

Place to buy binoculars in Oulu

Hi,
I'm planning to buy a binocular and I would like to buy it from a shop. The models I want to compare are

  1. Vortex Triumph 10x42 or 8x42

  2. Nikon Prostaff P3 10x42 or 8x42

  3. Bushnell h2o 10x42 or 8x42

Is there any shop in Oulu where we could walk in and have all these in display? So far I have seen binoculars sitting in sealed boxes in Prisma and Tokmanni. I never saw a shop where we can try and compare 🤔

Thanks for your advice.
