What type of weather are you running in? In my area it gets just below freezing in the winter, and I run with a full length compression shirt, then a technical running tee, then a fleece jacket. Works in wind, rain and snow between around 12c and -4c. Leggings and head/face covering are also often needed.

Biggest thing for me is really socks and runners; socks are wicking insulated running socks with an ankle, shoes have GoreTex uppers to keep my feet warm and dry.

Something to also take into consideration is how hard you’re pushing/sweating.

Merino wool will definitely work as a mid layer, but you’ll likely overheat pretty quickly, and it’s hard to get the sweat out.

There won’t be a second Hitler; this time around those with the strings of power will be careful to always have a disposable salesman in the official seat of power.

It’s definitely natural; it may be in humanity’s best interest to direct and curb it though. Unfortunately, that always seems to lead to corruption and inequality.

While true to a point, don’t paint Russia as being any better. They chose the war of aggression against Ukraine and are choosing not to stop it.

They were also in Afghanistan before the US, and destroyed it even more than the US has, between the two of them leaving the Taliban as the best local option remaining.

I sure don’t know what the solution is, as everything the world has tried so far has eventually failed, concentrating power in the hands of a few to abuse it.

BRICS could have a potential to control Russia while redistributing power, except that it includes Russia and China and India, all of which have a strong track record of concentrating power into the hands of the few, rejecting the voice of the people while putting on a western facade of being for the people.

Throw into this mix the upcoming results of global warming and neither bloc is going to make things better for the majority of humanity.

Next up: Trump strongly suggests that all senators dance the Macarena while in session.

Trump appoints a slate of recess appointments. Senate comes back from recess, and holds a year-long session. Trump removes all his appointments. Senate starts a new session and immediately calls a recess. Trump re-appoints all his previous appointments that survived the year, and appoints new sycophants to the vacant positions. Senate resumes.

Rinse, wash, repeat.

How is that a scoop?

Well, when I was young I told my father to make it stop snowing. Eventually it did, and I gave him full credit.

A lot of the repercussions if decisions made over the next four years won’t actually be felt for five or six years. And if the Democrats are actually elected AND allowed to take power in five years, they’ll both have to clean up the mess AND get blamed for causing it.

It’s about the traffic shape and size; the packets are all encrypted, but unless you’re filling the gaps with random noise, there’s a pattern to the randomness, in terms of packet size and density, and to the shape of the traffic volume over time.

If you’re streaming video AND torrenting at the same time, that will cover up some of the torrent fingerprints, but not all.

And if someone has the fingerprint of a torrent from a non-VPN source, they can pretty reliably figure out exactly which torrent you’re connected to. Pretty much nobody goes to that level of analysis for a random person though; they’d have to already have some reason to be watching your network traffic AND find it worthwhile.

The real winners are the people who received all the money from the R and D campaigns. They literally had to show no proof of work, and their effectiveness (or lack thereof) is almost impossible to prove.
