RIP to the Minsk fridge my granny used until 2022. Built end of 70s, that thing was continuously in use for 50 years.

It’s an infernal machine. My wife bought it secondhand for pennies and is making smoothies for kids with it. But damn at full throttle it sounds like a jet engine. Whenever it stands on the kitchen counter I carefully tiptoe around it scared it will suck me in and pulverize me into fine tomato paste.

I wholly recommend Slavoj Zizek’s take on the 1st part of the 9th and its appropriation by different dictatorships and ideologies.

There are better songs if you want to bash fashs.

In Czech Republic & Slovakia it is usually a towel to sit on & being naked. Optionally you can wrap yourself in a larger towel or something like that. Most people respect it, but I did experience one woman being told to not wear swimming suit or leave the sauna area.

How is it in Denmark? I’ve seen beautiful saunas there, where you just jump to the sea to cool down. I NEED TO KNOW!

Travelling with a bike in Germany is such a pain in the ass and the company doesn’t really care about cyclist’s needs. There is never enough space in the bike carriages, conductor never bothers to send away people sitting in the sections where bikes can be stored and don’t even get me started how it looks in the summer. If it only gets worse elsewhere, god help us… The only alternative is to drive a car with a bike rack if you want to get anywhere without having a heart attack on 1st day of your holiday.
