WD40 is an oil but not a lubricant, that's the problem. A lot of people don't know this because it is basically sold as the ultimate solution to anything that's stuck, makes noise or needs to go smoother. I only know because a colleague last year made the mistake of using it on a bike chain.

WD40 is a Kriechöl (penetrating oil) that is really good at quickly getting into tiny and inaccessible areas, but doing that it will replace anything else, including Schmieröl (lubricant oil). Great for cleaning and loosening screws stuck from rust, but since it is so extremely liquid it will dissipate very quickly.

Zwille posted:There's pretty good bike insurances out there. 70 bucks a year and you get a new bike near instantaneously if it gets stolen. Mine didn't get stolen but a friends' did and the insurance worked out perfectly. They did lock it on an insanely busy street (Urbanstraße in Kreuzberg, near Hermannplatz) though, and I had it in a courtyard a lot of the time. This is the Very Very German approach (not in a pejorative sense of course!) When a buddy of mine moved to Pisa his new friends there stole a bike for his birthday. A very sweet gesture I think

I only know because a colleague last year made the mistake of using it on a bike chain. The Problem is that the American WD40 and the German WD40 are completely different products and people mistake them when they watch videos on what US WD40 can do. German WD40 is essentially Kerosin in a can. Kerosin is a great cleaner for Open and Sealed (o/x Ring) chains but its best followed up with a light coat of Motor oil, or if you are fancy, a Chain lubricant.

I still use my 20 year old, full metal except for all the rust, bike that has been stuck on the highest transmission setting since about the time the WTC fell for my daily commute. I call it not skipping leg day.

So apparently Attila Hildmann is going full Hitlermann now? Seems after Nadio he is the next Corona Psychosis victim. I wonder what we are going to do with all the people whose brains are permanently broken after Corona. I mean for every promi you hear about going bonkers there must be dozens if not hundreds of normal people who go full paranoia completely unnoticed. Lagerkoller is one hell of a drug.

Reminder:quote:1992 stand Kahrs seiner innerparteilichen Konkurrentin Silke Dose (Mitglied im Hamburger Juso-Vorstand) vor Gericht gegenüber. Dose hatte Anzeige erstattet, weil sie durch anonyme nächtliche Telefonanrufe belästigt worden sei. Bei diesen Telefonaten hatte ihren Angaben zufolge ein Anrufer teils aufgelegt, teils längere Zeit geschwiegen und teils gedroht („Ich krieg’ dich, du Schlampe“). Bei einer danach beantragten Fangschaltung wurden zwei nächtliche Anrufe von Kahrs registriert.[8] Kahrs gab an, Dose nur diese beiden Male angerufen zu haben, die angebliche Drohung stamme daher nicht von ihm.[9] Wegen der bevorstehenden „Juso-Wahl in Hamm“ habe er „ein Interesse“ gehabt, Doses „tatsächlichen Wohnort“ zu erfahren.[8] Das Strafverfahren gegen Kahrs, in dem ihn Ole von Beust vertrat, endete mit einem Vergleich, in dem Kahrs um Entschuldigung bat, die Gerichtskosten übernahm und 800 DM zahlte. And for good measure: quote:Umstritten ist auch Kahrs’ Rolle als Vorsitzender des SPD-Kreisverbands Hamburg-Mitte. Laut Presseberichten hat er ein System persönlicher Abhängigkeiten geschaffen, das auf ihn als Spitze ausgerichtet sei und Mehrheiten gegen unliebsame Amts- und Mandatsträger organisiere. Er sichere sich Loyalität durch oft nicht eingelöste Versprechen von Posten.[16] Dieses „System Kahrs“ ist als „sektenartig“ bezeichnet worden;[17] der linke SPD-Bundestagsabgeordnete Ernst Dieter Rossmann warf Kahrs „Burschenschafterverhalten“ vor, das mit „gute[m] Stil in einer Partei“ breche. quote:Im Bundestagswahlkampf 2005 flossen laut der Frankfurter Rundschau insgesamt mehr als 60.000 Euro Parteispenden aus der Rüstungsindustrie an Kahrs’ SPD-Kreisverband Hamburg-Mitte;[47] darunter Spenden unter der Veröffentlichungsgrenze von 10.000 Euro der Rüstungskonzerne Rheinmetall[48] und Krauss-Maffei Wegmann,[49] was unter anderen Transparency International kritisierte. Nach der Bundestagswahl 2005 gelangte Kahrs in den Haushaltsausschuss und wurde SPD-Berichterstatter für den Verteidigungsetat. In der Folge wurde der Projektansatz für den Schützenpanzer Puma, unter anderem hergestellt von den spendenden Rüstungsunternehmen, von zwei auf drei Milliarden Euro erhöht. quote:Kahrs war der einzige SPD-Politiker, der am 8. Juli 2011 gegen den Antrag Keine Genehmigung zur Lieferung von Kriegswaffen an Saudi-Arabien stimmte.[52] quote:Der NDR berichtete im Februar 2020 über Tagebucheinträge des Bankiers Christian Olearius, laut denen Kahrs sich nach einem Gespräch mit Olearius im Dezember 2017 „in Berlin einen Durchblick“ über Steuer-Rückforderungen wegen Cum-Ex-Geschäften gegen die M.M.Warburg & CO verschaffen wollte. Kahrs bestritt, ein derartiges Gespräch geführt zu haben.[54] Daraufhin berichtete das Hamburger Abendblatt, dass der durch Kahrs geführte SPD-Kreisverband Hamburg-Mitte in demselben Jahr von der Warburg-Bank Spenden in Höhe von 38.000 Euro erhielt. Reading up on Kahrs also led me to the wiki articles on the Schill-Affäre, good times. Hamburg politics are wild

I'm ecstatic that our wise leaders have decided that Bundesliga is starting again in May. Just shows that they know what's important right now. I especially love that they are planning to broadcast the games over ARD and ZDF (so that Ronny and Kevin don't meet in person to watch the game because Ronny has Sky and Kevin doesn't - they are going to meet anyway) and that we all get to pay for it via our GEZ.

The reported French daily new cases are oscillating a lot more than Germany's, but at a quick glance they looked lower averaged over the last few days. They seem to have been pretty aggressive with containment which immediately cratered their numbers, so yay I guess. Hard to get a clear picture though because outside of francophone media there's not much.
