This is like looking at a yet to be made Tom Scott video.

Wool base layer, insulated mid layer, rain/windproof outer shell. They key here is too add/remove layers as needed, dictated by the weather and how active you’re being at the moment.

You aren’t just heating up your own body w/ homeostasis, you’re heating up the air around you as it radiates off of your body. You will be warmer with tighter fitting clothes. Looser clothes can help with air flow, but if the air is -10°F air flow isn’t your friend.

Insulation is about trapping the air your body has warmed up next to your body, so you don’t need to constantly spend energy heating up cold air.

I’m not sure what sort of activity you’re planning on so I can’t give very good recommendations on exactly what to wear. But I would say just buy clothes that fit you. You probably shouldn’t be wearing so many thick layers that it requires you to go a size up.

Also keep in mind if you’re so warm you start to sweat, once you cool down that sweat is going to make you feel even colder.

Again wear wool, Merino wool if you can. Don’t wear cotton.

As a heterosexual man, the game went from utterly unplayable to game of the year. Magic I can suspend my disbelief for. But a lack of johnson physics? That’s a step too far.

Finally a truly immersive gaming experience.

The original Blade Runner movie is not nearly as good as the sequel. The sequel highlights how lesser the original’s plot was. We overly praise the first one because of the Tear in the Rain Speech.

FireTower, to comicstrips in Wayward Birds Explained

Cardinals are definitely a good bird even in their native range. They should have used a house wren or something.

FireTower, to archaeology in Many prehistoric handprints show a finger missing. What if this was not accidental?
@FireTower@lemmy.world avatar

The frostbite theory sounds more reasonable to me.

Reminds me of this famous picture too:

I find it funny that they’re either obviously staged or the photographer is standing in an awfully precarious location.
