Yeah, grease can become a problem over the years as the waxes in them harden. Oils are often better for the plain bearings found in a small fan. And even small ball bearing tend to prefer oils over grease.

Do your fans have little oil cups? When I was a kid, small fans often had little oil cups to directly lubricate those plain bearings regularly. So many 3-in-One oil cans.

Depends on the day and personal beliefs of the person advocating for it. So, Schroedinger’s World Police. As a USian, I would prefer the EU took over the world police job. It's not worth the effort.

You speak Hun-glish? I knew a little old lady way back in the day that spoke Hun-glish. As a medic, it took several conversations before I could even begin to understand her spoken symptoms.

As an old medic, I will slam you with an epi-pen. Possibly a C-Collar if I think you fell and banged your coconut. Maybe start a line for fun. Then tell the triage nurse you are a member of the dull-men’s community. May the Goddess of the ER take mercy upon you.

To be even more pedantic,

Remember that stainless steel is NOT completely Rosta Frei. It's merely stain - less. It can rust and stain, (the high temps in a fire doesn't help), it just takes longer than plain carbon steels. And washing machine tubs are probably going to be either 303 or more likely, 304 or similar more corrosion resistant alloys.

I've used Debian and I'm just not a fan. It's doubtful that will ever change.

To me it sounds like you just want to be right about what's "better". I never said I would run Ubuntu server forever. It's just where I started. It works and does all I need it to do right now. If I decide I need something different, I will find something different at that time. Until then, Ubuntu is working just fine.

If you are new to being a boomer, just remember that those youngsters will be standing in the same place you are now. It's inevitable.

Remember: This is about the long game.

That's the thing about repairing things at home or anywhere else. You need tools to do so and more than just a screwdriver and a pair of pliers. You often special tools. You can get a set of triangle bits for maybe 4 to 5 euros and you will have them for life. So don't be a cheap. Either fix that kettle yourself, pay someone with the skills and tools to fix it, or buy a new one. But don't whinge about not having tools.

And let's also be honest. Some things need to be tamper proof. Most of you ain't smart enough and experienced enough to play with things that can injure/kill you or others, no matter how many youtube videos you watch.
