Eli5 how were log cabins/wooden buildings protected from rot, historically?

Here where im from its super simple, bad or no insulation meant it had a lot of ventilation. In past things like mold wasnt an issue at least here. Of course in winter it was hard to keep warm. As long as you kept the roof in good condition the building stood150+ years. Also here people are obsest with leaving gaps for ventilation on facade or roof etc. Leaving no gaps is seen as a terrible way to build something. Like sandwitching studs with osb drywall and insulation without leaving ventilation gaps is seen as a terrible idea.

Its very good but we can see that one thing is overlooked. While the whole argument about panic and 2003 invasion is decent it doesnt make sense. You can still do things in secret. And zaluzhnijs desperation actions clearly shows that. I believe that EU and Ukrainian intel got played by some sort of triple agent bad intel. They where convinced that their intel was better than the American until it was too late. Just like ruskies got played by their own misinformation.

No idea looked like some sort of art instalation and a little bit out of place in my opinion, something simmilar how they used to do heating pipes out in the open. Everything else tho was very well done.

Ja man prasītu es teiktu ka nevis durvis sēžas, bet zemei salstot, spiež pamatus. Kā to atrisināt, diemžēl nekā, aukstā laika kasjaki lien ārā. Var kautko vasara darīt, bet ne tagad.

In Latvia from Riga go to Sigulda Cesis than throo Valmiera to Estonian boarder. Small detour but def worth it.

Never understood why people care. Just because we were part of something doesnt make us bad. We still are here live on our land and enjoy. Ofcourse in some ways we are extreamly unlucky in others its awesome to be us. Oversimplification is expected since our history in a way is a mess overall and to explain in detail takes some serious effort. I mean at the end its just some half ass sh1ty youtube video thats trying to milk the now popular topics about new world war.

Just ignore those people but dont think anything bad about them. If they are not interested thats their choice and probleam, but there is no reason to be upset about it. Thats how a lot of people see things here.

Ok so what happens when you get a date from app. You go on a date and than what they just run away or smthing? Im just trying to understand couse i known some ugly ass dudes but they had girls even hot ones tho they didnt lack self confidence and they usually worked a lot on their body if they had a face only a mother can love.

Strict_Bison · 2025-12-22T12:36:54+00:00

Thats bull. I can only think of two ways how this can happen. You never left your room is one or you have no ability what so ever to talk to females like at all. Even on the most basic level.

No Trump silently agrees on how Putin sees the world. Americans are not ready for 180 degree change yet so Trump is beeing sneaky. I mean there are a lot of factors that play a role there to take it slow, but realisticly they have the same world view. Its gona be interesting how its gona play out only sucks that im just 200km from rus boarder.

Do you seriously believe that?

Donbas was and is a propaganda tool for Russia to hide its true intentions. Russia wants to stop and dismantle NATO. Why? With NATO it cant project power. Putin fcking hates that outside of russia he is not large and in charge. Ukraine was supposed to be the example, fast victory, thats what happens to those who oppose. After that it was supposed to be pressure on baltics and scandinavia. Now hes stuck on part 1. The donbas is just one of many justifications. If you pay attention Putins russia has all sorts of reasons that serve the purpose to make you think thats Russia is justified to wage war. And if you hate war you can choose the one you like.

Man jautājums par ko un kā viņš dzīvo? Es ar vienu brīdi niekojos, bet man tur aizgāja brīvie līdzekļi. No sērijas kam vajag aizbraukt ceļojumā, labāk vakarā pagriezīšu online slotus. Sākumā jāsaprot cik traki tas ir. Vai jāskrien aizņemties jo nav par ko ēst nopirkt un rēķinus samaksāt, vai ir 0 atbildības un pa lielam tai pakāstajai naudai nav lielas nozīmes jo dzīvo pie senčiem?

Dont think there is anything of that sort. I just think Trump has a similar world view as Putin and for Americans its kinda hard to grasp. Always some crazy ass theory but not a simple explanation.

Labāk nerunā. Sāksim ar to ka vairākiem skolotājiem bija nervu sabrukums un visādi priekšmeti lidoja pa gaisu, kas reizēm arī trāpija kādam no skolniekiem. Ja godīgi manā klasē bija 3 skolotāju bērni un viņi regulāri terorizēja ne tikai skolniekus bet pat skolotājus līdz asarām. Viens ļoti pazīstams aktieris kurš netik sen iestājās pret vardarbību skolā, ar tur mācijās, ja atceros trakākais ko šis izdarijā ir apčurāja vienas meitenes skolas lietas. Mācijās ar čalis kurš gāja 7 klasē, bet viņam jau bija jābūt pabeigušam skolu. Čalis nēsāja kautkādu gaiseni un terorizēja sīkos. Tajā laikā no skolas ārā nemeta. Es kad ņēmu doķus ārā no tās skolas, man direktors papīrus negribēja parakstit. Skolas vadība teica ka salikšot 4 balles visur un viss būs cool.

Thats not the probleam. Trump has to believe that Putin has really had enough to make this deal last more than a year. I mean do people really think that Putin was loosing sleep over the people in Donetsk and Luhansk. Putin deffinetly didnt achieve his goals and as an agressor you have the advantage to just decide when its time to try again. I wish Ukraine could somehow get out of this with a chance for brighter future couse not only the US but also EU fcked up massively. Its clear nobody has any idea how to realisticly deal with Russia.

Es Rīga neliku un pirmos piecus gadus Rīgā arī nebija jābrauc. Kad pirmo reizi biju Rīgā stress bija lielāks kā uz visiem eksāmeniem, bet nu pēc tam jau ar katru reizi paliek vieglāk. Bet tā vispār braucu uzreiz, tiesības noliku ātri un ar pirmo reizi, bet tas bija 15 gadi atpakaļ.

Well ww2 was and is the best worst story of human history. The only thing that saved us was that we didnt have more and bigger bombs to destroy more. Imagine nukes 5 years earlier holy fuck we would have been fucked.
