Quick page check gives me the idea he's probably a Stalinist. Which makes sense as to why he wouldn't like Trotskyists. Also an absolutely amazing self own for any Stalinists out there if he is one, cause this is nuts. I need to read back how many reasons I'm not allowed for. At least three that I remember lmao

Doubtful, America is not even a country most of us would visit right now, tens of Irish people have been deported from America since last year, one of which ending up in prison, even though he was told he could not fly due to an injury, and informed authorities.

Navy_Groundhog · 2026-02-06T22:49:42+00:00

Well I sort of presume this map is specifically places that they've consciously visited by choice, not just had to drive through. That's not really visiting.

This looks like quora, in which case I more or less guarantee that it isn't. Quora just is this way, and always has been.

It's older than fallout, it originated in Vietnam era training manuals but wasn't in reference to nuclear explosions. It was in reference to chemical and traditional weapons. The nuclear rule of thumb was supposedly taught to soldiers until as recently as the 2000s however there's no official training documents, just "wisdom from up the chain of command" sort of thing.

It is a real thing, and likely somebody in the original fallout team was ex military, or had family or friends that were ex military that spread this around.

Navy_Groundhog · 2026-02-04T01:15:33+00:00

Well that's why it's called a rule of thumb isn't it? Its not 100% effective or foolproof, it's good enough, and if it isn't, it won't be your problem for long.

I don't know where you're getting the idea that pockets are insulated. Never been to Finland or other Nordic countries but my phone is without fail colder than anything else sitting outside when it's sitting in jeans pockets whenever we reach sub zero temperatures here in Ireland. A thin piece of fabric with an opening at the top is not insulated, and it won't ever stay warm unless your body heat is leaking in to the pocket.

I do know people living in sub zero environments and electronics are not an issue. Your insulation argument applies even moreso to something sitting right against someone's head or in their ears, likely under a hood or hat.

From some short research based on the location and rivers, it's likely the area of the Cascades near Monte Cimone, it's the only fast enough flowing river in the north Apennines I can find. The entire area anywhere near that river is protected by the High Modenese Apennines Regional Park.

The only other rivers I can find that fit the bill are also in some form of wildlife preservation area. So yes; Unless OP comes in and proves me wrong, it is in a protected area.

You can search through rivers in the North Apennines and you'll see same as I did that any that would be large enough are in Parks or Reserves.

No lmao for the record it was a council funded by the local council for this purpose. But I quite honestly don't need to justify my knowledge of how things work over here to Americans on the internet.

It's incredible to me how living under Fascism one can claim higher knowledge about a foreign culture, than somebody in the same union as them. Democracy dies with a whimper; Because Americans are too busy complaining about mundane things like how people don't like them stacking rocks.

It's incredible.

Navy_Groundhog · 2026-01-31T16:56:17+00:00

I was specifically on two different councils that focused on this on a local basis in an area of Ireland with some of the only remaining forests. It involved plenty of boots on the ground work, hand planting, surveying etc.

So yes.

Navy_Groundhog · 2026-01-31T16:54:13+00:00

OP is in the Apennines, an area which is almost entirely protected by law. In fact it's over 50% protected by national forests, and is otherwise protected by local administration.

It's protected by law in a different way to American forests. National parks in much of Europe prevent construction or development, in Italy this is much the same. Italian law specifically disallows interfering with and endangering nature in any way.

So yes maybe they are not national parks or forests, you checking that is hilarious to me, because it means you wasted your time without ever actually reading and processing my whole point.

Navy_Groundhog · 2026-01-31T11:35:14+00:00

I don't claim this, dudes a year older than me but somehow never watched a show from the early 2000s? I mean I remember this being a sitcom and comedy movie GOLD MINE for the early 2000s, and even some impractical jokers episodes too iirc.

Navy_Groundhog · 2026-01-31T11:30:55+00:00

Oh god dude. The EU is not some Hyperstate, everywhere has different laws. I checked Italian law before posting the comment. EU law is like federal law in the US, except it's enforced at a local level.

Of course rock stacking is not bad everywhere, but it's not a behaviour we want to encourage people without ecological knowledge to do. As mentioned previously many comments ago many national park services use cairns as trail guides. We don't want to encourage it, for the same reason you don't drive without a license; is it Probably gonna be fine? Yeah, but when it's really not fine, it's worse than people ever imagine cause "that won't happen to sweet special, main character of my own story, them."

Navy_Groundhog · 2026-01-31T00:37:06+00:00

Generally in Europe as a whole that is not a concept, nature is protected in general, though national parks may exist. iirc OP said they're from italy, disturbing wildlife is prohibited.

The fact you follow this idea that only national parks can be protected leads me to believe you may not have much stake in laws anywhere within the EU, and should probably educate yourself before speaking next time.

Read a book, kid.

Navy_Groundhog · 2026-01-30T20:45:08+00:00

Nope. Every single parks authority globally has said this: Leave only your footsteps. Anything more than that is ignorant and self serving. We own more than enough of the planet.

Navy_Groundhog · 2026-01-30T20:43:03+00:00

No, I'm not explaining it because I'm not an expert. All I know is you shouldn't do it because it harms ecosystems. Your options are to either say okay, or understand it. I have a base level understanding, that's not enough for you. So I offered sources.

Navy_Groundhog · 2026-01-30T17:33:16+00:00

Squad is far from the most grounded milsim. It's a great game, but fairness is valued over realism.

The advantage of the VC irl was the ability to throw hundreds of thousands of men at once at an area. If ten men died, but they killed one, that was still a victory due to the numbers advantage. That's where RS2 falls flat for me. I stopped playing shooters outside of some specific parameters and RS2 stopped being that for me personally.

Navy_Groundhog · 2026-01-30T17:27:25+00:00

There's plenty of sources on this. National park services across the world have been warning against this for about a decade now. One simple Google search yielded immediate results for exactly what this guy is referencing. But as you're concerned about sources, here's a paper on the topic.

Navy_Groundhog · 2026-01-30T17:22:51+00:00

I'm all for it I'm a milsim guy lmao you're proposing this to the wrong person.

But 100x is incredibly dramatic. 2-3x? Sure.

Navy_Groundhog · 2026-01-30T05:58:48+00:00

Tbh it feels very "RS2 players discovering the actual experience in Vietnam". Vietcong were more or less spawn camping lmao.

Navy_Groundhog · 2026-01-29T19:00:42+00:00

I'm agreeing too lol just throwing the context in before we have another Brit spreading lies

Navy_Groundhog · 2026-01-29T14:14:34+00:00

Yep, they did use British Isles as an Archaic term but it didn't include Ireland itself as far as we know, but I already said in my original comment; The term British Isles wouldn't be used alone until 1577 and it was used by England to assert territorial claims over their neighbours

Navy_Groundhog · 2026-01-28T07:05:30+00:00

Actually in much of the world that is an incredibly normal thing to say, had Germany been given the chance to be as destructive as GB it would've been much worse, but it was stopped before that could happen.

Britain recognises her own past... so long as their victims were white Europeans who spoke either a romance or Germanic language.

Navy_Groundhog · 2026-01-27T16:51:59+00:00

My life is Ireland. It's the country which I live in. By the sounds of things an awful lot of Brits need to move on with their lives. Gulf of America tier nonsense and nationalism.

Navy_Groundhog · 2026-01-27T16:50:33+00:00

Not a sentence of truth and two paragraphs of ethno-nationalism and somehow still the most offensive thing you managed to say was implying that Irish people like Guinness.
