No Stupid Questions
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.

If you can, ask someone already there. Depending on the exact type of work, they may have very specific recommendations, and they’ll have a better idea of what the climate is like than we will.
In general, you’ll want to be able to layer clothing. Start with the base layer, whose job is to be wicking away sweat.
Mid layers are for insulation, and it would be prudent to get one light sweater and one heavier sweater, maybe a third or whatever. The idea being you can increase your mid layers to stay warm but not too warm as necessary. Same for pants. Around here, I usually go for a tight base layer, a loser waffle-weave longjohns and shell blouses into boots.
Keep in mind, that layers being worn to the outside should be looser so as to not compress layers being worn closer to the body.
Patagonia makes some good, hard wearing stuff as a general brand to check out, but there far from the only one.
Hats and gloves are important, too and for gloves I’d consider getting mittens at least as one option and maybe lighter fingerless gloves to wear inside. (Or lighter gloves. Especially if it’s possible you’ll need manual dexterity)
Also, bring a book or something to read, and plenty of snacks that don’t necessarily freeze. Hydration is also important and illumination.
Try to stay away from caffeine, among other things it also constricts the blood vessels limiting circulation in your extremities.
