They have very few alternatives nowadays when Putlin controls everything. Computer savvy people in ST. Petersburg and Moscow have access to other than Muscovite information, how much their possible cynicality helps is a good question. Oh yes they are blind by definition, if not why surprising...

Exactly where? Are you claiming that they did not steal their name from Ukrainians? Also being vassals to the Golden Horde for a quarter millennia did not really civilize them in any way. For once you are correct, I consider looking at things in a murderous paranoic way crazy and refuse to do so.

Have about finished my twice a year spruce crusade. Which is good as we have something of a snow storm just now.

Yalla yalla

You got it exactly wrong, they have the blindfolds as they can't see but their own propaganda.

Waste of time, they would not get. And what use would watching the world through paranoic lens make, absolutely nothing. Besides those two things are much closer to facts than the Russian point of view.

When one is totally paranoic anything'll feel threatening. Even The Soviet Union was not "text book" communist, present day Russia is just a totalitarian state with a dictator. Even USA could not take full blown capitalism and the present system is a light version of it. US is not a democracy...

Not quite, they drove themselves into the corner in their previous incarnation by being lousy imperium. Eastern European countries were not cathered in by NATO, they wanted security against Putlin. A more historical view is that Muscovy is part of Ukraine. Peter the Tall actually changed the...

This is the reality, theoretically there are some plastic aerogels that have very high insulation properties that could change this. I haven't handled any of them and at the moment I suspect that price would be - interesting. When closed cell size goes below 100 microns the heat insulation...

I can hear you, Fjellräven has a slight tendency towards that. In this case the material is good, EVA and thickness is OK and it has a very small cell size which correlates to good insulation value, the smaller cells the better. My experience on it is good though, in the summer I usually carry...

A lot more people are allergic to various wools than polyester. If one is not, wools tend to be warmer and handle moisture better than the cheaper hydrophobic PES fibers now mostly used instead of hydrophilic ones.

It is not the total weight of insulation but thickness that matters. Also down flattens almost totally underneath but hollow fibers a lot less. In practice your mat is more important the colder it gets. As I understand the EN std measures quite well heat conduction/convection through the bag...

In this case I don't think there is, estimates could exist. Heat insulation testing on real world equipment (in contrast to flat test panels) is always standard dependent. It is not so easy to estimate which std best follows "nature", not to include real world outside conditions (wind...

Could not find it now but I have once seen a climate model results with uncertainty value added, that did not really assure me of anything else but of these researchers being a bit more realistic and maybe also honest than the rest.

A quote from a medical doctor acquaintance after he had finished his PhD thesis: "There seems to be be a notable difference in statistical and clinical significance." He was referring to (possibly without knowing this reference)((from WP): " In 1925, Ronald Fisher advanced the idea of...

Savotta FDF is a military one not bad but... I have found Fjällräven 14mm one quite good in practice.

Most data I could find shows a 2C higher than present peak about 125000 years ago. So it depends when you define us becoming "human".

I was actually hoping for some explanation but apparently not. Have it your way. So far having a nice WE. Main problem for me being what on earth is "smokey hut" other than smokey hut. Followed by "half inner for it. I don't want the one tigris one as it is all mesh". Mystified by: "draught my...

I have a funny feeling, I understand all words but have really no idea what she is talking about.

We have a wetland type named after Norway Spruce and Scots Pine is the main tree on peat bogs here. The suggestions were based on the notice that some of the ground was not very squishy after all.
