First think about what you want to do with the bike:
- mountain bike?
- Racing?
- bike to work?
- Sunday with your girlfriend?

Territory:
- hilly, mountainy?
- tarred only?
- Feldweg?
- City, with tramschienen? (Bigger Pneus so you don’t get stuck)

Do you want/need Gepäckträger? Schutzbleche? Depending on your age & weight even small Stossdämpfer below the Sattel are lifesavers.
Disc brakes are really good, but hard to get on cheap second hand bikes.

Look around if there’s some kind of bike fair near you now, spring is the obvious time for them.

What are the results Thromboseuntersuchung? :ohdear:

I wish you all the best, Duzzy. Speedy recovery!

Is that one plant named Kyle? :3: (please don't tell me that it's the name of your friend that this plant goes to)

Nah, I've named all of my chilis after friends of mine, some even kinda-related to the type of chili I've put their names on.

And the Ultraschall-Ergebnisse were poop, I was hoping that the Thrombose had resolved enough to be able to make the projection that I'd be cleared to travel by August. But the congestion has only cleared up about 20-30% since last October, which is progress, and I can't whine about that, it's just glacially-slow progress and the Thrombus will probably only be gone by the end of the year at best, meaning I won't be able to visit my friends in Korea this summer. Major goddamn letdown.

The Thrombose is only a problem when flying, right? You could, in theory, take the Transsibirische Eisenbahn to Wladivostok and then a ship to Südkorea from there.

Or, if you are rich enough and have lots of free time, you could do this.

That last one would seriously tempt me if I had a couple thousand bucks to spend and a boss who would understand my need to take all 30 days of vacation time all at once. :v:

It's unfortunately a problem in all forms of travel where you basically immobilize your leg for a prolonged period of time. I currently take a 10-15 minute break for every driven hour to get the circulation going a bit. You really notice the effects of longer immobilization in the leg really quickly. It feels a lot schwerer and you get this feeling of - for lack of a better word - Druck im Gewebe. Flying adds the problem of lower air pressure and faster dehydration while not being able to walk around a lot at all.

Outside of the health-risks, there's obviously the liability issue of having an entire goddamn flight rerouted in the case of a medical emergency caused by gross negligence, hence the clearance-requirement by the doctor. You're apparently in extremely shady territory insurance-wise when doing that.

Yikes, that sounds bad. That would eliminate train travel too, I guess.

At least I guess you could walk around on a ship and freight ships don't tend to be re-routed willy-nilly? Of course it's too bad that's not really an option, considering it would take you about 2-3 weeks just to get to Korea. And it costs several thousand Euros each way.

Remember about a week ago when a moderator on Austrian television had a high-up FPÖ guy in and made the entirely correct observation "Hey, your ads look a lot like Nazi propaganda."?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sYGW35wdyr0

Well, the FPÖ has taken that criticism to heart, went on a deep introspection, and... is now demanding that moderator be fired, if not worse.

quote:

Anlass dafür war ein Interview in der Nachrichtensendung ZiB 2, in dem Wolf den FPÖ-Spitzenkandidaten bei der Europawahl, Harald Vilimsky, zu einem Plakat der Parteijugend befragte. Der Cartoon zeigt ein Paar in Trachtenkleidung, umringt von düsteren Figuren, die offenbar muslimische Migranten darstellen sollen. Wolf verglich die Abbildung mit einer antisemitischen Zeichnung aus der NS-Zeitschrift Stürmer. Vilimsky drohte noch während der Liveübertragung, dass dies "Folgen" haben werde – und legte später im Interview mit dem Boulevardblatt heute Wolfs Rücktritt nahe.

Der Reaktion des FPÖ-Spitzenkandidaten folgten viele seiner Parteikolleginnen und -kollegen. Parteichef Heinz-Christian Strache bezeichnete das Interview wiederholt als "widerlich"; der ORF-Stiftungsratsvorsitzende und ehemalige Parteichef Norbert Steger empfahl Wolf eine Auszeit, "um auf Gebührenzahlerkosten durch die Welt zu fahren und sich neu zu erfinden". FPÖ-Stadträtin Ursula Stenzel sagte gar, Wolf solle mit seinem Ton im "Volksgerichtshof" auftreten – einem Gericht der Nationalsozialisten, das Tausende politische Gegner zum Tode verurteilt hatte.

The FPÖ has tried to silence the ORF for years now, and there is good reason to believe that Vilimsky went into that interview with the goal to raise a stink no matter what happened. The really scary thing is that they might well be (at least partially) successful, because Sebastian Kurz and his ÖVP basically don't give a poo poo as long as :decorum: is kept

Armin Wolf is literally the best TV journalist I have ever seen, btw. Highly recommended

During my time in Austria, Wolf has been in the newspapers multiple times because the FPÖ hated him so much. They kept trying to get him fired again and again for the crime of "asking tough questions", which is obviously biased and unfair. It has always run off him like water off a duck's back and I can't help but admire his steeliness, let alone his journalistic credentials.

I've had so many arguments with my liberal colleagues about this. They have a huge problem with just outright condemning the FPÖ, because they all know - and like! - multiple people who vote for them. If I say "but they are Nazis", I keep hearing "you can't call them that, that would mean my friends are nazis too". And well, yeah, they probably are then, or just stupid? But again, they say, you can't just say the voters are all evil or stupid. But then why do they vote for Faschos?

Because this shitstain of a party has been so entrenched in politics, has been so normalized, is so popular with the youth, there is a massive pushback in society to call things by their name. They can't be that bad, my son likes them and he's a good kid! My buddy voted for them because haha I wouldn't vote for SPÖ or ÖVP either, and have you seen the Greens? Anyway, want some more loving Gösser?

Of course people in Köln put up actual honest to god Maibäume, as if this was a süddeutsches Dor... :thunk:

I'm moving my North/South Germany taxonomy away from the combined non-glacial hill & potato salad based one, to one that's based on Maibäume exclusively. If there's a Maibaum, you're in the south. Let's double-check Wikipedia to see if this yields correct results:

quote:

Ein Maibaum ist ein geschmückter Baum oder Baumstamm, der im Rheinland, Emsland, Ostfriesland, in Nordrhein-Westfalen, Franken, Baden, Schwaben, in Teilen Sachsens und der Oberlausitz sowie in Tschechien und Slowenien zum 1. Mai aufgerichtet wird, in anderen Regionen auch zu Pfingsten. Besonders in Baden-Württemberg, Bayern und Österreich ist das feierliche Aufstellen eines Baumstammes auf dem Dorfplatz üblich.

Might wanna exclude the non-Österreich Ausländer, but looks great to me otherwise. Thüringen and the Saarland are mentioned later in the text. The Pfalz is not, but a quick google search assures me that "Vielerorts (auch in der Pfalz) stellt man heute einen Maibaum auf. Er ist Symbol des kraftvollen, männlichen Phallus." Phew! The absence of Hessen is worrying, but there's a picture that's taken in Hessen, so it's all good.

I guess the most notable changes relative to the previous classification are that the Rheinland, Emsland and Ostfriesland are now in Southern Germany, but I don't make the rules (just divine them). I was gonna say that Bramsche and Hannover got dragged kicking and screaming into Northern Germany but nope, they're near non-glacial hills AND have Maibäume. Congratulations also to Berlin-Reinickendorf on being in Southern Germany - I've always hated that place so it's good to know there's a scientific basis to that feeling.
