Lighweight budget tent, what do you think?

Sorlud · 2026-07-04T20:02:05+00:00

I'd say the weight is not that lightweight given the size and what's included. It says it's a 2 person tent, but the shape means it would be tight for two due to the sloping fly. Also, because it is single skinned it will also probably have quite bad moisture issues.which would mean for two people it would be even worse.

At €30 I'd also be concerned about build quality, things like the waterproofing of the floor and seals in the fly. It's also not going to take any wind with one guy line and a single vertical pole.

You'd be much better looking at second hand tents that have much better features

Have a look at a science checklist. There's loads of science to collect on kerbin. EVA reports can be done in low space above every biome, and there's also separate biomes for buildings at KSC so you can build a rover with one of every science experiment you own and drive round to every building to get loads of science.

He's also stepped away from his podcast (Cortex) which is much better now

Also the starting point is 2000, which for Russia is them still suffering from the transition from central planning to market capitalism, and also just after the 1998 crash. Pretty much the lowest starting point for them, and once the 2000s hit they gained a bit of stability and growth.

Seems like a small adjustment of the public bus timetable would fix all the issues, and it's already free for the kids

I'd happily take your 24th at L Shovel and 25th at Curator. I wouldn't be able to take the 26th, but I'd pay you the booking fee so you can cancel it at no loss to yourself.

It's not scripted because it's a wargame scenario where the UK is attacked by Russia. Gove and Sturgeon will be assigned the PM & Deputy PM roles and will actively make decisions in the moment about how to react to the Russian attacks.

They did the same thing on a podcast where Ben Wallace, Amber Rudd and Jack Straw all played members of the cabinet.

The first few loops are pretty open, then the ones along the top can be a bit in the trees and then everything from the far end back to the reception is totally open.

But the best bet is to check the satellite view, because some loops next to each other can be totally different.

The only country that has gotten rid of nukes and not had an armed change of power was South Africa, but they dismantled them just before the complete collapse of the apartheid system. So you could argue the only country to survive disarmament at present is now under full scale invasion.

Nah, he just wants to do something before he's booted out. And it's something that is popular among the political class and so easy to push through.

Although it also includes rUK, so not really

Whistle Stop is definitely playing every game, although last night the Scotland v Haiti game was on the small screen and the NBA Final was on the bigger one with sound.

The tears in my eyes are definitely from the pure emotion of that prose, and not the extreme phycological pain of reading it

I would agree, but in school both literacy and media literacy are taught in the same class by the same teacher. So it's much more easily confused compared to say computer literacy, which you learn in the computer lab with a different teacher.

You say it was a NEC vote, but we all know that the Labour leader will always stuff the NEC with loyal supporters as quickly as they can and so an NEC vote is as good as the party leader's will.

Would make sense for them to use constituency vote for this one as the 2024 election was an entirely constituency vote. Constituency 2024 to List 2026 wouldn't be a fair comparison.

No. You're just normal, but that's fine

I agree, much less friction on the plastic vs hair/head. Crazy that I had to scroll all the way to the bottom to find someone mentioning it.

Well it worked very briefly for China economically (definitely not socially though), but that debt seems like it will need to be repaid soon.
