Yes, that was horrifying news. It's unfortunate that, despite it being clear that the suspected perpetrator is anti-Islamist and pro-AfD, people are blaming this on Islamist terrorism. And the Musk asshole (who the day before had praised the AfD) calls on the chancellor to resign.

There are spikes you can strap around your shoes in case of snow.

"béton" has other connotations in french: an old one in '70s slang as verlan for "tomber" especially in "laisse béton", basically "forget about it". Then there's the ubiquity of the material in poor suburbs, which is often referenced in french hip-hop (it's not like these crumbling buildings are getting any better, I live in one)
