  • [question] How does your local cinema look like?

    Jump

  • I brew not because the price but because I want to try stuff and do some bit wild stuff that just isn't available here.

    I also worked in a professional craft brewery so I know a bit about the pricing and stuff like that. But I don't think you need that much advanced brew equipment to make something bit more demanding.

    Jump

  • That is really confusing even for me. For that money you can buy pretty large second hand brewing setup. Like 200-300l everything included.

    Jump

  • Yeah as a Czech guy it is quite a bit different here.

  • It looks great but for me it is missing the beer tap.

    Penile Spines

  • Yeah "Who needs a hole" kinda guys...

    My biology teacher then commented about all the features other animals evolved - bones, spiral shape, detaching one for long distance use in octopuses...

    Yeah ours are kinda boring guys.

  • Looking for spare bike parts with EU wide shipping

    Jump

  • For older bikes there is dutchbikebits.com

    It's not that expensive, decathlon is cheaper but you can find there parts for old POS bikes with good price.

  • Bar tapes

    Jump

  • I used multiple types of tapes, longest lasting and most comfortable was some long tape from SQlabs.

    Right now I am looking at Grepp cloth tapes, they are bit more pricey but should last pretty much forever, you just have to wash them sometimes.

  • Is WD-40 a miracle product?

    Jump

  • Just a tip for using WD-40 on bikes for regular maintenance it is good to know what for it was developed - protective oil coating for steel/stainless steel plates.

    So it can be used to give nice shine to the frame paint after cleaning or it is excellent for coating cassette and chain before longer storage (it leaves the oil coat and protect it from rust).

    The side effect of needing to cover every craves of the surface means that it is penetrating quite deep so people started using it everywhere - stuck bolts, hard to oil parts...

  • Is WD-40 a miracle product?

    Jump

  • As others said it isn't the best or even good product for what you want to use it for.

    That said there are options for touring, for example last year I started my tour with waxed chain. It isn't the best solution either, it doesn't like wet conditions without bit more maintenance than oil (if you don't do it it starts to rust).

    I switched to oil and bit more cleaning after a while, but because I use spirit stove I had already some alcohol with me so in the end it was quite a breeze to deal with it. Also when you use drip on oil and apply it correctly (just enough on rollers and wipe the excess) it last quite a bit longer and doesn't muck that much.

    For one product I would take something for wet conditions in drip on package. I have something from motorex.

    But if the condition of the trip is right the wax is better option.

  • Where are you planning to go this year?

    Jump

  • I am looking for some trips in Asia. But the plain tickets are pricy so it will have to wait until I have a good plan and probably some friend to do it with me.

    For now I stick to countries where I don't have to deal with stuff like visa... So EU and European economic area.

    So I am interested in your trip as well.

  • Where are you planning to go this year?

    Jump

  • You know how it's said "Visit Russia before Russia visits you". That is my main concern in that area.

    But the problem in Spain at that time is the weather, it is just too damn hot for me to go there in summer.

    So even though I haven't seen full solar eclipse yet I am more inclined to go north.

  • Where are you planning to go this year?

  • I didn't thought about going there even before current events...

  • Cleaning a bike for waxing, still some grease left. What to do?

    Jump

  • It depends what you have, the jockey wheels usually have slip bearings/bushings and they don't mind it that much.

  • EU suspects ‘coordinated’ corporate interference in tobacco tax feedback - The Commission received thousands of pro-tobacco comments and inauthentic submissions from fake public health experts

    Jump

  • Unfortunately it is net positive if you count in pensions.

    I read economic research few years ago and the few years less for pension is more than enough to offset the healthcare.

  • It just lists the elements in a form of chemical formula with their estimated quantity in universe.

  • Czech president considers criminal charges against foreign minister

    Jump

  • Macinka is an idiot.

    That being said he plays important role to form the government and at least part of ANO voters expects some reaction that Babiš probably can't deliver because of that.

    It is just lose lose situation right now, do nothing against it - people will protest (and it will have bad outcome), try to confront him and he doesn't form a government (and will go to prison).

    I didn't expect that the shitshow, everyone saw from far away after the elections, will get that bad that fast.

  • mapy.cz - How maps learn about traffic?

    Jump

  • It depends in what region. I know that in CZ they definitely get it through official government site that tracks closures, roadworks, traffic from monitoring cars and counting gates...

  • Motorists’ Party Brings MAGA to Czech Politics

    Jump

  • To be clear they already lost a lot of support. They behave like bunch of kids and people would rather vote for Babiš than them.

    Also the coalition ANO, SPD, Motoristé is supper fragile right now. They argue about their childish behaviour and everyone is bit pissed, I don't give them much time.
