Good idea, but again: wool socks will stay surprisingly warm even while wet.

If you’re in the arctic circle long enough, it helps to have many options though.

Layers are the way to go.

1. Long Underwear, a long sleeve breathable undershirt, good WOOL socks
2. A sweater or other medium-thickness top garment.
3. Waterproof snow pants and coat.

Good boots, preferably waterproof if you’ll be in the snow a fair amount. Definitely good so you have better grip on snowy/icy ground. Thin “liner” gloves and thick waterproof gloves to go over those. A warm hat that covers your ears (I really appreciated my trapper hat when I went to Tromsø).

Avoid cotton. Cotton is horrible at insulating if it gets wet, as opposed to wool which can keep you warm while fully drenched.

Best news I’ve seen in weeks

At least 2 DMT trips ago

Donald Trump won the popular vote in an election with record setting voter turnout. Lack of democracy from the electoral college or voter suppression didn’t do this. People voting for Trump did.

Even a non-IoT electronic device still runs on many different chips.

Tech companies are terrified of becoming commodities, even though a good chunk of them basically are at this point.

Intel would probably be in a better spot if they’d just leaned into that rather than try to regain the market dominance they once had.

The vast, vast majority of chips produced are “old generation” chips used for relatively mundane purposes. The high-tech stuff you see in the news is a minority (though it’s pricey enough that it doesn’t look that way in company earnings reports).

Think power supplies, middle-of-the-road CPUs, ASICs for common I/O like USB and ethernet, timing devices, and wireless communication modules.

His real money comes from Amazon Web Services, and that’s really hard to divest from, even if its customers (businesses rather than individuals) wanted to.

God I fuckin hope so.

He’s 54, I think he looks pretty average for that age. He looks like an old dad, because he is.

He got old.

His routine was loaded into the teleprompter. It was explicitly approved.

Hey look! Someone who only read the headline!

Sure, I agree. But the CEOs of McDonalds and Wendy’s don’t want to miss a single day of profits and their wealth gives them a lot more political power than I have.

It’s not satire, it’s 100% the reasoning that would be used in this argument. That’s the train of thought that we took towards covid.

There was a moment where Vance was hammering the word “choice” about like daycare costs or something and I really wanted Walz to say “so NOW you care about choice?”

Yeah, my father in law made some comment about “this debate is so much better than the last one” and I’m like…yeah, the word salad is replaced with Coherent English lies, but that’s not a great step up.

I liked “we don’t need Obamacare because we have legislation protecting people with preexisting conditions”

Yeah, that would be Obamacare.

Humans.

The current western political landscape is not the first time immigrants have been a political scapegoat. This has been a recurring theme for thousands of years.
