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.

I'm from Minnesota and I used to run to and from work and go trail running on pretty desolate mixed use trails, so my advice might not applicable if you aren't running in that kind of environment, but here goes:
I'd go way overboard on the digits and the ears, toasty when standing around, and layer my core fairly light: underarmor-type long sleeve compression, long sleeve shirt, then fleece or a windbreaker (full zipper). Basically kinda chilly but not shivering when standing around. If it's like -20F I bust out the wool, balaclava (sp?), and ski goggles. Goal is to be able to unzip and open things up and not get too hot and sweaty, not rely on physical activity to keep fingers and toes warm. When it's too cold and you aren't crossing paths with many people, an easily-overlooked danger is injury or incapacitation. You wanna be dressed to the point that you could just lie on the ground for a couple hours, take a nap, and not wind up with frostbite (or worse), because ice is fun and shit happens. If you're gonna be running in that kind of cold, it's a good thing to keep in mind, kinda like how people say to throw a blanket in the trunk just in case your car breaks down, you'll probably never use it but it's good to plan around a bad scenario
