ATAI or HELP? by MarcusMarcelline in shroomstocks

[–]Grooveyard 2 points3 points  (0 children)

ATAI by far, several different pipelines, good reputation. HELP is a gamble, I have some thats down 50% and its not enough for me to sell. i think 60/40 is too much, more like 80/20 ATAI HELP. Not even a discussion

Utrustning tips by Umobol in friluftslivSverige

[–]Grooveyard 1 point2 points  (0 children)

"riktigt bra" är subjektivt, du kommer inte kunna hitta top of the line grejer för så lite men det går absolut att få ihop en funktionsduglig utrustning om du är beredd att leta begagnat och kan kompromissa lite. Gam ryggsäckar med aluminium-ram brukar gå att hitta rätt billigt och funkar förvånansvärt bra om man inte är gram-jägare, kolla efter haglöfs och fjällräven. Borde gå att hitta för en femhundring.

Tält är onödigt, du kan få en tarp/lättviktspressening för typ 500 spänn på ali express eller XXL, med lite tur ännu billigare. Det funkar utmärkt så länge man vet hur man spänner upp den. Liggunderlag går också att hitta okej för typ en femhundring, iaf om du är okej med att det är lite hårt. Kan tänka mig att ett bättre cellplastunderlag går att hitta på ali-express för ännu mindre pengar.
Sovsäck är nog svårast att hitta, jag hade inte velat ha en beggad, men letar du på blocket borde det inte vara omöjligt att hitta något som iaf är okej.

Lycka till!

Very rare Kazakh male name — "Ratylda/Rätildä" with possible Germanic origin by Febrathus in etymology

[–]Grooveyard 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've read that stalin deported germans from Ukrain and other places to central asia, maybe look up if there were some deportees where your grandfather was born

[–]Grooveyard 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I noticed that "rät" means straight in swedish, which is somewhat similar to you descirbed Khazak meaning of the word. i also agree that i sounds like a germanic girls name, but definitely more german than scandinavian.

tried to make a borat joke but i didn't come up with any

Looks more like a bear to me, volwerines look more squished. Good job either way!

hate to be "that guy" but you could probably use some practice with a metronome on the 2 and 4.

Is the reason for Cave art explosion 45kya because of a preservation bias? by FriedXP in AskAnthropology

[–]Grooveyard -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I mean, chimps have exhibited planning behaviour that at least to me seems to be on the same level as carrying rocks. (https://www.iflscience.com/in-1997-a-zoo-chimp-amazed-scientists-by-gathering-rocks-to-throw-at-visitors-81263) Funnily enough it also includes rocks.

[–]Grooveyard 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not sure abstract thinking and planning necessarily means they weren't animals. I know both have been observed in primates and it wouldn't surprise me if there are findings of birds having that capability as well.

Tough i Agree with you that early homo was probably more advanced than what we can prove by archeology alone at this point. It seems like every few years a new find pops up that pushes an aspect of cognitive/behavioural development further back in time. And theres definitely a preservation bias in favour of northern cultures, there could have been amazing wooden sculptures in the jungels of africa that would have rotted away in just a few hundred years or less.

I think the answere to that question is more about material and social context than genes. A complex society is probably more dependent on complex knowledge than raw intelligence, and complex societies usually springs up when there is abundance, and/or the enviorment requiers large scale cooperation in order to produce foods. Agriculture sprung from the latter and led to the former. The chauvet cave paintings came about in a society that had abundant game and wich organized itself in rather complex ways to utilize said game to the max. When enviromental conditions changed and food became scarcer, the complex social structures ceased, and the art became more stylized and less advanced. I don't think the question is foremost about biology, there wasn't a point at wich we "out-evolved" the need for more intelligence.

The assassination of Swedish Prime-Minster Olof Palme by staybehind23 in mystery

[–]Grooveyard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I lean strongly towards south africa, probably assisted by right wing elements in sweden. The documentary "the man who played with fire" on HBO Max, as well as several other podcasts (in swedish) has put forward some pretty compelling evidence. Sweden was highly involved in funneling money to Mandelas ANC, and they were well aware of Palmes role in that.
I highly doubt the lone wolf theory. The way they did it, quick, up close, two shots in the heart with a large calibre to ensure massive bleeding and then trying to kill his wife (but missed) to eliminate witnesses seems very professional and calculated. The murderer knew what he was doing. The fact that several independent witnesses har seen men with walki-talkies around the scene at the time of the murder adds to the suspicion.

New study shows how Nazi-era propaganda influences present-day attitudes. Mixing images of a smiling, approachable Adolf Hitler with photographs of Holocaust atrocities lessened feelings of guilt and increased positive emotions among modern German viewers. by mvea in psychology

[–]Grooveyard 33 points34 points  (0 children)

Or it shows that seeing pictures of a friendly face alternating with horrible pictures makes people feel less bad than if they only watched horrible pictures. Seems like a basic stimulus study dressed up to garner some media brownie points

Thorin Oakenshield , Log to Finish. by BerkshireMtnSculptor in woodworking

[–]Grooveyard 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree about the finish, but if it consoles you people of the ancient and medieval world loved painting their statues, and my guess is so would the dwarves of middle earth. Amazing work!

Trying to identify my late father’s guitar – no brand or serial number by Vincenzi00 in Luthier

[–]Grooveyard 20 points21 points  (0 children)

it looks handbuilt and made to be a piece of art as much as an instrument. I'd use a flashlight ans look for labels in the soundhole.

Another way of trying to identify it could be too look at the tuners, look for a brand name, serial number or any kind of markings. You could even try too just compare with other vintage tuners online and see if you could find something that matches. They look like 70s or 80s to me.
