WD-40 Multi-Use Product protects metal from rust and corrosion, penetrates stuck parts, displaces moisture and lubricates almost anything.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WD-40
WD-40 (Water Displacement, 40th formula) is a penetrating oil manufactured by the WD-40 Company based in San Diego, California.[1] Its formula was invented for the Rocket Chemical Company in 1953,[2] and it became available as a commercial product in 1958. It acts as a lubricant, rust preventive, penetrant and moisture displacer. There are specialized products that perform better than WD-40 in many of these uses, but WD-40's flexibility has given it fame as a jack of all trades.[3]
There's a degreaser sold under the broader WD-40 brand. Might be what you're thinking of:

WD-40 Specialist Degreaser is a powerful, fast-acting formula designed to quickly clean tools, machinery, engines, and equipment, restoring their appearance and ensuring smooth operation. Featuring a proprietary industrial-strength solvent, it effectively breaks down grease while remaining safe for use on multiple surfaces, unlike other harsh degreasers.
It does lubricate, but it's not as effective as dedicated lubricants.
Works fine for me without logging in in a quick test (from the US).
So you're telling me that I abstained from Taco Bell's Crunchwrap Supreme for nothing?
It has some defederations, albeit not many.

I honestly don't know why the GOP are attacking mail-in ballots.
It looks like it's more-or-less a wash in historical data:
Do Republicans or Democrats benefit from mail-in voting? It turns out, neither: Three decades of voting history reveals vote-by-mail does not give either party an edge
You might be able to intimidate voters or pull some other stunts locally that you cna't do remotely.

Erewhon: or, Over the Range (/ˈɛr.ɛ.hwɒn/, ERR-eh-hwon)[2] is a utopian novel by English writer Samuel Butler, first published in 1872,[3] set in a fictional country discovered and explored by the protagonist. The book is a satire on Victorian society.[4]
In Erewhon, illness is crime and crime is illness. As a result, citizens are imprisoned for offenses like physical ailments, misfortune, or ugliness while those who commit conventional crimes like fraud or theft are seen more sympathetically as exhibiting symptoms of moral afflictions and prescribed sessions with a "straightener" (essentially a psychologist) for treatment.[5]
Big events like that are not about profit though. They're really about buying prestige, which remains more valuable than profit.
Ehh.

The United States Olympic & Paralympic Committee needed congressional approval for funding to build an Olympic Village for the 1980 Winter Olympics. Congress required an after-use contract for facilities, and Lake Placid's congressman Robert C. McEwen considered the possibilities of having it be repurposed as housing, a hospital, or a permanent athletic facility, but these plans all failed to materialize. As McEwen searched for possibilities, he learned that Norman Carlson of the Federal Bureau of Prisons has congressional approval to build a prison in the Northeastern United States. It was ultimately agreed to create the Village with the goal of repurposing it as a prison.[1][2]
At the time of construction, the Olympic Village had 937 small cells, each holding between 2 and 4 athletes. The majority of rooms had one barred window, although some had no windows at all, and they had heavy steel doors with peepholes for use by guards after conversion to a functional prison. The Village was surrounded by concentric chain fences. The fences were sensitized and sounded alarms if touched. The only entrance to the village was a surveilled double gate. The village saw widespread condemnation from International Olympic Committees, and multiple countries sought to rent housing in other locations. While National Olympic Committees typically need to pay on their own if they choose to find new accommodation, IOC Director Monique Berlioux said, "This time the accommodations are so poor that delegations will not have to pay for them if they move somewhere else."[3]
The delegations of Sweden, Italy, Austria, East Germany, West Germany, and other countries sought alternative accommodations. This created an unexpected boom in the local real estate market, increasing rent in some areas from US$200 (equivalent to $781.5 in 2025) to US$4,000 (equivalent to $15,630 in 2025).

It sounds like they have gender-segregated seating on public transport.
Hey travelers! Ever booked a seat on public transport and had to specify your gender? Well, welcome to Turkey! In this unique travel experience, seating next to someone of the opposite sex is a bit of a no-no, unless you book together.
Trains: Clear as Day
Turkey’s train system doesn’t beat around the bush. Try booking seats next to someone of the opposite sex, and bam! You’re hit with a clear message saying, “Not allowed.” They’re serious about keeping guys and gals in their separate travel lanes.
Buses: No Mix and Match
Now, buses take it up a notch. Most systems won’t even let you book seats next to the opposite sex. No ifs, ands, or buts. It’s a full-on restriction. Talk about keeping things strictly platonic on the road!
Sure, some argue it’s about passenger comfort and safety. But seems not everyone’s on board with this gender-segregated journey. Critics say it’s a buzzkill for personal freedom. Solo travelers, especially those outside traditional gender norms, might find it a tad awkward or downright frustrating.
This doesn't make sense.
You extradite someone if they have charges in another jurisdiction. Presidential pardons would only apply to (federal) US charges.
