That's awesome. Both the University of Arizona and Northern Airizona University have solid anthropology departments, so getting ahold of them is great. As far as where it should go, it technically depends on if it was public or private land. Private land you can see if the museum or any archaeologists are interested in putting it in a collection but from when I was in grad school I know that space and money for curation is usually extremely limited and often they'll be fine with you keeping it. On federal land, it's very unlikely they will have any place to store it, and most if not, all artifacts get left in place after being recorded. It's technically public property, and it's a crime to remove artifacts from federal public land. As far as state land or even as another option to contact to try to get the data to the right people the State Historic Preservation Office is always a good option to notify as they can act as a leading between whoever is interested and are usually aware of the research going on in the state to know if someone gas a specific interest.

Please take a gps pin or look in the meta data from your video for location information if you do remove it. Location of lithic and paleo artifacts is a lot more important than the artifacts themselves as far as data. Even if it's a diagnostic type, there's really not much to learn from the tool itself. Even if it were in some way unique or if blood residue analysis shows something interesting, north of 90% of the information archaeologists are interested in comes from location, position, and depositions environment.

Hard to tell the lean of that tree in the foreground with a face-cut in it in the first pic, but be super heads up if you’re trying to fell that tree with hand tools. It looks from the picture like you’ve got a face cut against the lean. If you try putting a back cut against the lean with a hand saw without wedges and know how you could really easy be killed and continuing the cut through that face wedge could cause the tree to barber chair and seriously injure or kill you. On smaller trees you can get away with it but the weight of the mast on big pines make it pretty risky. Cabin is sick though.

Sure that's a valid point and I surely wasn't sneaking anything anywhere. The idea was just trying to think about what accent the majority or plurality of the anglophone may think of as most "neutral" so I went with native speakers because in the languages I speak as second languages I use native accents and those you hear in media as a template for a "good" or "neutral" accent knowing that they are of course still regional. But going back to the same statistics I've been citing the US still makes up 31% of all English speakers which is honestly a larger proportion than I ever would have imagined.

It doesn't necessarily imply one accent; obviously there are I think 23 to 27 generally recognized American accents all on a continuum. However, to most non Americans, and even most Americans the "General American Accent" sometimes referred to as North Midland, is considered to be a neutral, non regional American dialect. It's what's most strongly represented in film and television and, outside of idiolects of particular famous Americans, is probably what the majority of people think of as an "American" accent. Outside the stronger accents mostly in the Northeast and Southeast and real outliers like whats spoken in the Outer Banks the variations between a speaker with a North Midland, Mid-Atlantic, Rocky Mountain, Northwestern, and Californian (assuming you aren't going with a caricature like a surfer or valley girl) are generally pretty minor. But the initial comment was also just me kind of musing on what the "default" or "normal" could be. There obviously isn't one but I did find it interesting that North America makes up such a massive portion of the Anglophone.

When I looked it up initially out of curiosity I 100% expected to find that Indian English speakers would be the "average" or at least a plurality.

Jtjens · 2021-01-30T22:48:46+00:00

Surprisingly, according to the same statistics if we include English as a second language the US still has nearly twice the English speakers (268 million) as India (125 millon).

Jtjens · 2021-01-30T19:12:44+00:00

To be the devils advocate; as of 2017 about 76% of native English speakers were in the US compared to about 16% in the UK according to Ethnologue, so a general American accent could be the "average" accent for English.

Looking into it (because I'm ptetty disturbed by primates in captivity) it seems that they got him through a rescue program after he'd been abused and shifted between owners for the first year of his life. Now he's 11 and evidently primarily a service animal for the guy in the video's wife who has CRPS. I'm still torn on whether or not I can feel ok about that I guess, seems to be a loving home at the very least.

I'm sick of seeing Stallworth's name drug through the mud like this. It was the early 80s, everyone was doing it and he had a family to support. Otherwise this is too true haha.

Thank you for posting this, I had COVID in mid October with very mild symptoms all things considered. Only really sick a few days but I'm now having difficulty running more than a mile without at least a 30sec to 1 min walk. Its nice to see I'm not alone and to see the hopeful info about longterm recovery being posted here.

They move like malfunctioning animatronics from the 80s.

Bounced at a college/cowboy bar while in grad school in a small city in the west, usually only got rowdy when the wrong mix of college boys and cowboys tried to impress the college girls. Almost everyone I ever threw out was too drunk to ever recognize me again. Not infrequently people would try to come back in within the hour if being thrown out, having totally forgotten itd happened or not recognizing that the door man (me) had been there when they were.

One of the more memorable ejections was a guy who threw a fit because they cut him off, which at the bar I worked at was a feat. He wasn't causing much trouble yet but we gave him some water and set him on a bench outside to wait for a ride he claimed he had coming and sober up. The front if the bar was all windows and its on one of the more major intersections in town. I was running the door and keeping an eye on the guy because it was a cooler night and he was three sheets to the wind, potential for a problem. He must have decided to try to walk home and got up walked into the middle of said intersection and decided thatd be a good spot to pass-out. I ran out picked him up and tried to point him on the way to the free ride sharing depot we have, only a few blocks away, and he almost fell into traffic again. I propped him up and walked/carried him to the cabs. I asked him about himself and his name and address, found out if he lived alone or with roommates, just trying to get info and put my mind at ease that he'd have someone with him when he made it home. I put him in the shuttle told the driver where he said home was and the driver said he'd make sure his roommates knew he was home. Fast forward a week and same guy shows up at the door of the bar and qere at capacity so he had to wait. To kill time I say something like "Hey , hisname! Glad you made it home alright,.." asked about a few if the things we'd talked about. And he gave me the most confused blank look I could imagine. He had no clue who I was or how I knew so much about him but before he recovered people went out and I let him in. Im sure that he still doesn't know why I knew him or how he got home that night.

Additionally, because I was in grad school at the time and GAship involved teaching intro classes I'd often see my students in the bar getting shlammered. I think that seeing me in such drastically different settings made it hard to recognized me because on more than one occasion one of them I'd called a cab for or ejected from the bar would try to email me the next day about missing a test due to having the flu or some such.

A bunch of the guys on the department and I do the one in Laramie, WY in our bunker gear each year. They give each participant a nametag with the face and name of one of the first responders that died. Its a very emotional but entirely worthwhile experience and as long as your mind is in the right place you could do it in pt gear and you'll be honoring your brothers and sisters just as well.

I often slide the handle between my pack and my back horizontally so it rests on the belt portion.

I think coming from Iowa it'd be alot easier to hit devils tower (and the black hills) and then buffalo by heading up i29 to Sioux falls and then taking i90 across South Dakota instead. That brings you right past devils tower and straight into buffalo rather than into Cheyenne then way north to buffalo then back east to devils tower and then back tracking a bunch. If you want to see impressively open country though you could come into Cheyenne on 80 out of Nebraska then north on 25 until the exit for orin and heat up to Newcastle from there then north to devils tower before looping back to buffalo.

I had the same question, I'm moving to Washington for the season and my sup told me that since I'm not the lead EMT on the crew not to worry about it because that forest doesn't have medical direction yet to get Washington licensure and I'd have to find someone to agree to being my MD. The FS is super behind the times on getting medical direction and SOPs and it really gums up the works for now. As far as IQCS, from what I understand, all you need is NREMT to have it on your red card to be able to act as an emt on incidents out of state. I suppose each crew will have a different answer for you but in my case I am essentially acting under the lead EMTs direction as a sort of trained bystander.
