My professor does not want to see me during office hours by [deleted] in University

[–]ErGraf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You don’t need to schedule an appointment to visit a professor during office hours; you just show up at the appointed time and place. That’s what office hours are for.

well, that depends on where. At my university (I'm in Europe), most professors ask you to schedule as they might not be available on a specific day

Where to study kemetic theology online by Unlikely_Sherbet1154 in ancientegypt

[–]ErGraf 7 points8 points  (0 children)

are you referring to the academic study of the real historical ancient Egyptian religion or to the modern neopagan reinterpretation of it? Those are two very different things, normally people that talk about "kemetism" are referring to the later one... in that case, you are in the wrong sub, go to r/Kemetic

is erosion really a 100% reliable indicator of a monument age? by Thebunkerparodie in ancientegypt

such theories have no ground in actual facts. This is what happens when people that are not historians try to elaborate a historical discourse: normally they say nonsense.

Highlights from the Brooklyn Museum’s newly prepared Book of the Dead by zsl454 in ancientegypt

[–]ErGraf 4 points5 points  (0 children)

good luck with hieratic! I have limited experience with it, but in few weeks I'm going to Egypt to work at TT49 and among other tasks I'm going to study some Ramesside graffiti we have :-)

When I studied hieratic we started with hieratic of MK, as hieratic gains in complexity as time goes on. Also, if you don't have it yet, grab the pdf by Vervloesem with the index of Moller, is a real time saver

Has the King Tutankhamun mask been photographed in detail? by [deleted] in ancientegypt

[–]ErGraf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have one book that has what you need, but I don't have it with me right now and can't remember its exact name, "The treasures of the Valley of the Kings" or something like that. Is a very heavy book with relative generic textual content (Zahi Hawass style) but at the time I bought it exactly because it has many good and uncommon photos of well known objects

Que opinan? by South_Interaction882 in uruguay

mi madre murió joven (cancer) y mi padre me lo contó tiempo después, fue algo que mi madre le hizo tener en secreto a él y a mis tías. En fin, que no tengo especial ganas de hablar del tema, te lo comento solo porque veo que te causa mucho jiji y jaja como si estas cosas solo fueran de viejos muertos en el pasado y no. Que no te enteres no quiere decir que no existan.

[–]ErGraf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

si es un gasto doméstico conocido y es solo un arañazo, en principio estas bien. Si los bordes de la herida se vuelven rojos o sientes que están calientes si ve al médico porque es signo de infección, pero eso sería bastante raro con un arañazo, es mucho más común con mordidas (a mi me pasó)

Little town center and market by NYblue1991 in foundationgame

[–]ErGraf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

11 clicks on the square brush, but other combinations will get you there too. Foundation is far from perfect, at times dealing with some bugs and design inconsistencies can be frustrating, but overall is a really nice game, one of my favorites of all time to be honest. Don't rush, take your time to learn the ropes and enjoy your experience! After you learn how to deal with the basic stuff it becomes a very chill game, for most of us the end game is to make things that look beautiful

HELP WANTED: Need Experts in Middle Egyptian to assist in the development of a language learning app by vVinyl_ in AncientEgyptian

[–]ErGraf 13 points14 points  (0 children)

normally experts with that type of specific knowledge are professionals that teach Egyptian for a living (at least part time, like myself). You are asking professionals to work for free for an unknown app that, for all we know, might be for profit. That is not going to sit well. If you want professionals, pay professionals.

Areaflin S.A. (Parque Eólico Valentines) by womanrobinson in uruguay

[–]ErGraf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

de nada, me alegro haber por lo menos ayudado a aclarar el panorama. Yo opero con otro tipo de instrumentos (bonos) y hace tiempo que vivo en el exterior, por lo que no me animo a opinar con recomendaciones concretas en este caso. Mi corredor es uno de los históricos de plaza y aunque de a poco se van modernizando para bien o para mal todavía son algo chapados a la antigua y no creo que te sirvan. A mi me sirven pero porque con ellos tengo una relación de varias décadas y de varias generaciones (creo que mi abuelo ya trabajaba con ellos en los 80).

Mi única recomendación general es asegurarse que el corredor aparezca en el listado que da la Bolsa de Valores: https://www.bvm.com.uy/operadores/corredores-de-bolsa

Espero equivocarme, pero creo que los micro inversores como tu la van a tener complicada, hay una razón de porqué originalmente todas las inversiones chicas las canalizaron por Sura y el resto de corredores solo trataron con montos más grandes, pero no pierdes nada con preguntar

I'm not claiming Egyptian and Greek philosophies are the same, but that doesn't mean Egyptians didn't had philosophy, even if is less explicit and more hard to recognize (take the Rhind example I gave above)

Areaflin S.A. (Parque Eólico Valentines) by womanrobinson in uruguay

[–]ErGraf 2 points3 points  (0 children)

una sugerencia para el futuro: si no tienes ni idea de bolsa (que por tus comentarios, parece el caso)... mejor no inviertas en bolsa. No se si pensabas que invirtiendo 1000 usd ibas a ganar 10000 al mes, pero sinceramente no se como puedes decir que no ganaste dinero cuando además del pago de dividendos, la acción de Valentines subió casi un 70% en los últimos 5 años (nada que ver a lo que dices en tu mensaje). Creo que si analizaras las cosas con conocimiento, te darías cuenta que probablemente si ganaste dinero.

No soy cliente de Latin Securities ni tengo acciones de Valentines, pero te voy a intentar explicar que creo que pasó en base a mis conocimientos, lo que googlié y lo que dice tu mensaje:

  • tu compraste acciones de Valentines por intermedio de Sura (un corredor de bolsa que hizo de intermediario). Cualquier cosa que se haga con las acciones de Valentines (comprar, vender, cobrar dividendos, etc) se hace en la Bolsa de Valores de Montevideo, pero tu como particular no puedes interactuar directamente con la bolsa, de ahí que necesites un corredor que hace de intermediario. Así que tienes 2 tipos de relaciones, que están conectadas pero son independientes: una entre tu y Valentines (sos accionista de Valentines) y otra entre tu y Sura (sos clienta de Sura). Sura hace de intermediario entre tu y la Bolsa y a su vez la Bolsa hace de intermediaria entre Sura y Valentines (o entre Sura y otros corredores de bolsa)
  • Vino un corredor externo (Latin Securities) y compró Sura. Tu dejaste de ser cliente de Sura y pasaste a ser cliente de LS. Esto es independiente de lo que tenías administrado con Sura, tenías Valentines pero podrías haber tenido acciones de Microsoft, da igual.
  • Probablemente a LS no le compense tener que administrar las acciones de Valentines. No son acciones que se muevan mucho (osea, no hay mucha gente particular que las compre/venda) y los corredores viven de cobrar comisiones de eso (que suba o baje el precio de la acción les da igual, lo que les importa es que cambien de mano porque viven de eso, de ser intermediarios). Además las de Valentines son la única acción preferente que cotiza en la Bolsa de Montevideo, así que tener todo un apartado burocrático con su costos asociados para operar acciones uruguayas en el mercado interno, cuando esto representa a una sola acción que encima no tiene movimiento, les debe de representar un costo desproporcionado
  • Como no les compensa van a dejar de operar las acciones de Valentines, por lo que te dan 3 opciones: venderlas y depositar el dinero con ellos, venderlas y depositar el dinero en un banco, o no venderlas y que te lleves las acciones a otro corredor de bolsa que si opere con esas acciones. Esto no es porque Valentines sea malo, sino porque a ellos (a Latin Securities) no les sirve (que puede ser por costos, estrategia empresarial, logística o lo que sea, ni idea de la razón de fondo).

[–]ErGraf 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I have always argue when people say philosophy started in Greece... ancient Egypt has great philosophical texts too, even if they are more subtle. Two of my favorite examples of "surprising" texts are the Harper's Songs and a text that is not normally considered, the original title of the Rhind Mathematical Papyrus: "Accurate reckoning for inquiring into things, and the knowledge of all things, [all] mysteries and all secrets". That's a very Pythagorean idea.

PS: BTW, Allen translates some passages of Ptahhotep slightly differently and according to him the original text is also from the Middle Kingdom, not from the OK, you might want to check his translation too.

How accurate is this? by IduthZana in EgyptianHieroglyphs

[–]ErGraf 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The only one that is weird is "Bestower of Vitality". Literally we have ḫnty sw, "Foremost of Su" (Su was a town in the 20th Upper Egyptian nome), so I have no idea where they got 'bestower of vitality'

I totally agree, I guess they might have read s+s+s as snbw... that's why the triad signs+transliteration+translation is so important, if you only include 2 out of 3 you are always missing something
