    Their history channel is my go-to. Those classic tv documentaries are presented in a way that makes me want to fall asleep, not that they're boring and uninteresting.

    Learning Ninjustsu in itself may be a scam. Here's at the bottom of wikipedia:

    In 2012, Kawakami chose to be the end of his line of ninjutsu, stating that the art has no practical place in the modern age.

    Disclaimer: I'm not an expert. I'm just having fun.

    but a searching for graphs of sunrise/sunset times quickly showed that the midpoint of sunrise & sunset is not noon.

    This might be true for places far away from their respective longitudinal timezone.

    Certain places sandwiched between extreme elevations would also be affected by what you mentioned(sunset/sunrise midpoint not noon).

    This might sound mean but, is it possible to lose some weight? Body fat does affect body temperature regulation. I'm from the tropics and on the leaner side and have no problem with 30-35°C heat index. Going into the 20°s I'd be the first to shiver while my peers are still comfortable.

    Prigo has been giving mixed signals. On one hand, the justification for the invasion was a lie and on the other hand saying operations within Ukraine wont be affected while the coup is happening.

    Convoy S2+ is probably the best go-to for those who'd like to go into flashlights. Changed my 6 year old convoy's reflector to a 45° TIR (there's an option for as high as 65°) lens for a wider beam profile. The lighted tail switch accessory is a nice touch, but completely drains a 3000mah battery in 2 months.
    Parts can easily be found in bangood/gearbest/aliexpress.
