That’s not good right?
Nope. If your rotor and pads went into it, you’ll have to give them a good scrub to decontaminate them. Purpose made stuff is great, Muc off is better than nothing.
Is it fixable or is the calliper fucked?
Did you push the pistons into the calliper at any point? Are they parallel to the centre line of the calliper?
If you lost brake power before and you’ve identified a leak now, it doesn’t look good for that calliper. If you have mineral oil and time to spare, it’s worth a shot at seeing if you can fix it.

Meanwhile, the administration is going to bat trying to get fucking Neera Tanden nominated to OMB, in a demonstration of where their actual priorities are.
Not a bad priority IMO. There’s no point in setting a good strategic direction if the implementation (where and how the money is actually spent) is out of your control.
I think the wage increase should be a major short term priority, and they’re not pushing harder because it hits some of their major donors’ pockets and because it’s putting themselves out on the furthest limb in recent history, and it could be a great success or a massive failure. No one wants to be deemed responsible for breaking the economy. -adding, but that’s what political capital is for.

TLDR- Ted Kaufman, recently co-chair of Biden-Harris transition team, tried to curtail naked short selling of stocks years ago but wasn’t success because Big Money. He’s now uniquely positioned to enact meaningful change at a time of turmoil.

(conjecture on the numbers. Made up on the spot. Not based on anything except recent experience)
FTFY.
People in the US have their tax returns, Christmas debts have been paid or decreased, millions who hadn’t bought stock prior to GME 1.0 have now crossed that mental hurdle. On the other hand, all the world’s sharks are gathered for a feeding frenzy.
You couldn’t pay for publicity like this.

Exactly. It doesn't translate to Coronavirus.
The Asian mask wearing is out of politeness to not spread on a cough/cold that the wearer has. It's not specific to any previous pandemic (bird/swine flu, etc), it's more aimed at the common cold.
But if anyone has Coronavirus symptoms they shouldn't be outside, mask or not.
It also only works in a society/culture where the majority of people have a mutual respect for their fellow citizen.
My comment was geared towards mask use for more commonly accepted, less deadly illnesses: colds, seasonal influenza. Would be great if Sarah from HR could keep her germs to herself instead of spreading them around the office thanks very much.
Anyone with corona symptoms should isolate, and employers should enforce this.
I was under the impression that mask use became more prevalent and more expected following bird and swine flu. At least that’s what I’ve been told by Korean and Japanese contacts.

1) Buy Dura Ace wheel set.
2) Use in exotic locations. If possible lend to famous cyclists.
3) Sell uniquely storied worn wheel set to your mate’s artisan child.
4) Buy Dura Ace lamp from mate’s child on behalf of your business.
5) Gift lamp to your cyclist business client and write it off as an expense.
6) Repeat. -
Isn't the Asian mask wearing a cultural thing. So there will need to be a cultural change.
Indeed. It’s frowned on to be clearly sick in public and not be wearing a mask, unlike in our hemisphere where others just have to put up with it. For example, the UK FCDO’s internal guidance recently used to say that a respiratory illness alone was not sufficient grounds to not go in to work.
There is hope here because mask culture in Asia became more prevalent after swine flu and bird flu.
