No such thing. Ask away!

!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.

The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:

Rules (interactive)


Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.

All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.



Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.

Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.



Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.

Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.



Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.

That's it.



Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.



Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.

On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.

If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.



Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.

If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.



Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.



Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

Let everyone have their own content.



Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

to run, work out, stretch, jump... up to 2 to 3 hours outdoors with and without wind.

Any brands you'd recommend? I have long, thin fingers.

I'm not a runner but this type just popped into my mind, with this sort of half cover, so you can have an mitten on your hand when running but take it off to use a phone blow a nose or whatever, without taking the gloves off.

Mittens good because they're pretty airy and don't get as clammy as full finger gloves.

I'm sure this model is also found in more sporting materials

"half cover gloves" or smth for search terms idk

This is what I have for when it's really cold. Below like 20 fahrenheit, thin gloves are not enough.

For running, get thin gloves that keep out the wind chill. Your body will heat itself up, including your hands, so all you look for is decent wind protection. I did some trail running in down to -10C, and thin running gloves were sufficient.

If you want bells and whistles, get gloves with reflective elements. In winter, chances are you'll spend some time running in the dark.

Agreed; after using various running and other gloves, I settled on a set of work gloves that are thin nylon weave on the back and dipped in nitrile on the front, similar to gardening gloves.

They let the steam out while keeping my hands from getting too cold in -10 weather, AND I can use my phone with them on (although I don’t recommend doing that below freezing).

I do 3 hour trail runs through the winter and they’ve worked better than my running gloves or my merino wool cutoffs. And they’re $3 a pair.

Those running gloves should be slower than you otherwise you won't ever catch up to them 😋

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 days ago

I'd say don't think to much. Get some thin sport material ones and see how you do. If you're still cold, get thicker ones.

It's not a waste, you'll find a time to wear the thin ones

I don't run in gloves often because I'm so much warmer when I'm running than I am when I'm walking or standing outside. I generally dress as if it were 20 degrees warmer than it is, but it can be problematic for the first bit of a run. What I've found works best for me is running a short loop that comes back to my house in an easy to remove jacket, hat, and gloves that I can drop off at the door on my way past then continuing with the bulk of my run. In these cases any old gloves will do. When I do wear gloves for the full run, I wear a pair of thin, but insulated gloves from Heat that I got at Costco. They have silver in the fingers, so I can use my phone. It's more difficult than without the gloves, but it's not like I'm using my phone much mid run anyway.

Adidas gloves are the boss IMO
