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.

I workout, stretch and run outdoors three to four times a week, it's a routine I like.

It's November already and it's getting cold. I have a 100% merino wool mid layer long sleeved shirt I spent 130$ on I wear to the office but I don't want to ruin it working out, stretching and running because it was expensive.

This piece of clothing is quite thick, like 2 layers put together. I don't want to buy anything thinner for sport because I've read thinner undershirts/base layers break due to friction.

This is what I fear is going to happen with my merino mid/base layer if I workout with it, even if it's on the thicker end of layers.

Another option would be to buy a regular polyester base layer to use with a synthetic mid layer or combine a synthetic base layer and a cotton mid layer. Would these be stupid ideas?

What should I use as an outer layer?

Overall, what brands would you recommend? I'm a skinny 5'6'' woman.

You can get a thin smartwool or polypro base layer from a ski shop for like $50, even cheaper on sale but it's the wrong time of year for that. That's probably all you would need unless you're planning on running in a blizzard.

When I was in the military a bazillion years ago, our winter running uniform was a beanie to add to our t-shirt and shorts. That was it. If it was SUPER cold (like, below freezing) we'd get to wear sweatpants and a sweatshirt. Then we'd go run 4 miles in the dark. If you got too cold you just had to run faster. :)

Was an arborist for years in a region that would get to -20F and lower every year. We wouldn't work past -10, as diesel would gel up past that.

Couldn't afford nicer things. So, layers were key. If you start to sweat, take em off until you slowed down. Staying dry is key.

But for the jogging part, anything breathable with a shell layer will get it done. I never liked the super light and stretchy stuff because they'd rub my nips harshly.

Just get some stuff off amazon until you find what you like, then return it all and buy the stuff you liked from a store you respect?

This one is far more important than it seems: take care of you nips! At longer distances they can get bruised so bandaids or similar things are advised.
