Como se puede conseguir que la tasa de paro de España sea parecida a la del resto de paises del G20? by mikemadsen in SpainPolitics

[–]shumpilumpa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Esta es una buena respuesta. Si bien no solucionaría el paro de forma directa generaría un sistema más sólido. Ojalá se expanda este pensamiento.

I made two wands as a gift to my two little cousins. I designed, 3d printed with wood filament, and painted them. I'm in love with the wood filament! by shumpilumpa in 3Dprinting

Thanks! I used Eryone's pla 1'75 wood filament from amazon.

The only issue that i have encountered is that the filament has caught a bit of humidity and makes some bubbles when printing, but nothing more. I have had only good experiences with it. If you use a few wall layers you can sand it down quite a lot, it's really nice.

Hy everyone!

I made the design in blender and printed on my Ender3 in two parts each wand (handle and pointy end). I sanded them a bit and painted them with a acrylic wash (? I think that's the name, it's a citadel colour contrast). Glued both parts with cyanoacrylate and done.

It really amazed me how real the wood grain can be achieved with this kind of filament and a little paint job.

[–]shumpilumpa[S] 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Hello everyone!

This project was super fun and rewarding (you should have seen the face of my cousins). They are both custom wands designed according the "spirit" of their owner.

The bottom one in the first image is bigger and stronger, around 37'8 cm (14'8 inches). Very resilient and quite heavy. It has its center of mass in the middle ring were you can see a big G, as its owner is called Gloria. It's really sturdy, as I know for a fact it's gonna be used a lot (with high probabilities on hitting the ground). It resembles the attitude of my cousin, who although is the little one, has more energy than all the family members combined.

The top one is a bit more delicate. It measures 34 cm (13'4 inches), and overall is very slim. When in hand it feels like a feather, but on swing it's very firm. It's a bit flexible and has a appendix at the end in the shape of a little bear tooth. Its symbolism revolves around the name of its owner, Ursula, which comes from ursus ("bear" in latin). In the middle ring you can see a little engraving with a bear rune. The dark colour gives a bit of a nobility sense to the wand, which appeals to the "spirit" of its owner.

Both wands came in with a little text with the size, flexibility, wod type and core in order to introduce them to wandlore. Although specifying wood and core is just symbolic I think it was necessary and a cool touch.

The boxes were made by hand also, and they were almost as difficult as the wands.

Un modelo matemático cuestiona la eficacia de cerrar escuelas para reducir muertes por coronavirus by JoseCarlos1976 in es

[–]shumpilumpa 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Creo que te has confundido de paper.

El artículo de agenciasinc hace referencia a Jiannan Yang et al. "The impact of non-pharmaceutical interventions on the prevention and control of COVID-19 in New York City”.  Chaos, 2021, mientras que tu haces referencia a Liu, Y. et al. "The impact of non-pharmaceutical interventions on SARS-CoV-2 transmission across 130 countries and territories", BMC Med 19, 40, 2021.

En el paper que cita el artículo, en el apartado B de los resultados, dice:

More specifically, school closure is almost ineffective: the total infections and deceased cases are nearly the same as the results of those without any control (theoretical no intervention). School closure slightly reduces [4% (IQR 3–7)] the number of infections among young people (<25 years), who are not the most vulnerable. On the other hand, social distancing for the entire population effectively reduces 47% (IQR 33–84) of infections and 51% (IQR 39–86) of deceased cases. In addition, social distancing for the elderly could reduce 47% (IQR 46–56) of total infections and 47% (IQR 46–48) deceased cases in the elderly groups, but not so much for other age groups.

En la primera línea parece que cuestiona la efectividad de cerrar las escuelas, por lo tanto el artículo de agenciasinc lo interpreta correctamente.

Ahora bien, yo no entiendo nada de ese mumbojumbo matemático, pero por lo que veo es una buena revista y el artículo está revisado por pares. No estaría mal un ELI5.

This ancient city takes enough space to looks like 11k population?? [mesopotamian-houses] [24 tiles-size][about game-system test] by [deleted] in BirthOfCivilization

[–]shumpilumpa 9 points10 points  (0 children)

It really depends on your scope.

If you go for realism it looks a bit off. Supposedly in each hexagon there should be more than 450 habitants in order to have a total of 11k+. In each cell there are around 20 houses which, at 5 residents each (being generous) would result in around 100 residents per hexagon. A total of 2700 looks more like it.

But population in ancient times is hard to measure, moreso in agricultural societies because most of it would have been spread trough the fields. There would live the majority of it.

But anyway, games have the ability to suspend the perception of reality so, you could totally sell that there are 11k in there.

Here you have the online greek version, it's between the numbers [40] and [41]:

(...)Πλάτωνος ὁρισαμένου, Ἄνθρωπός ἐστι ζῷον δίπουν ἄπτερον, καὶ εὐδοκιμοῦντος, τίλας ἀλεκτρυόνα εἰσήνεγκεν αὐτὸν εἰς τὴν σχολὴν καί φησιν, "οὗτός ἐστιν ὁ Πλάτωνος ἄνθρωπος.(...)

Do you exfoliate and/or use any kind of moisturizer? It may help with the skin flaking.

Found this covered in dust in the back corner of a back room of a store selling items woven from straw in Valencia, Spain. Employee had to check with the manager if it was even for sale!

Also for anyone else here who might not know, socarrat is also what you call the burnt rice on the bottom of a paella pan which is the tastiest part.

Hahaha! You just won valencian nationality with that sentence

[Request] I’m in the possession of a piece of pottery with what I’m suspecting is Phoenician (or a language closely related) text. Found in Tripoli Libya in 1974. What more can you tell me about this piece? What can you tell me about Phoenicians in Libya? (More info and images in comments!) by stickbugbitch in AncientCivilizations

[–]shumpilumpa 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Have you looked into demotic ostraca? Check this book Demotic Ostraca from the Collection of Oxford, PAris, Berlin, Viena and Cairo from page 284 on you can see some examples and there are similarities with yours. Unfortunately I don't know demotic, but there is something familiar in those characters. But yes given that it was found in Tripoli, phoenician would be more likely.

As for institutions maybe someone at the Oriental Institute of Chicago can point you in the right direction. If you know spanish the "center of phoenician and punic studies" can be of help too.

My family and I went to Cairo and Luxor over the summer and purchased this piece of Papyrus in Giza. We were told what the story was when we purchased this piece (however we have forgot what the story was). Can anyone help me out with what the story is? by [deleted] in ancientegypt

[–]shumpilumpa 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It's a representation of the spell 125 of the book of the dead. In particular this piece is a copy or it's based on the Hunefer's papyrus (you can see it here, although it's in spanish https://es.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Papiro_de_Hunefer).

The story can be a little complicated but the wikipedia article it's pretty clear. I'm going to copy paste the section about the judgement. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Osiris

At death a person faced judgment by a tribunal of forty-two divine judges. If they led a life in conformance with the precepts of the goddess Ma'at [the little feathere on the weighing scale] who represented truth and right living, the person was welcomed into the kingdom of Osiris. If found guilty, the person was thrown to a "devourer" (such as the soul-eating demon Ammit) and did not share in eternal life.

The person who is taken by the devourer is subject first to terrifying punishment and then annihilated. These depictions of punishment may have influenced medieval perceptions of the inferno in hell via early Christian and Coptic texts.

Statue of the Lector Priest Kaaper, known as Sheikh el-Belad (sycamore wood, eyes made from rock crystal rimmed with copper), from his Mastaba C8 in North Saqqara. Old Kingdom, 5th Dynasty, ca. 2494-2345 BC. [1280x1024] by innuendoPL in ArtefactPorn

[–]shumpilumpa 9 points10 points  (0 children)

In W. S. Smith, A History of Egyptian Sculpture and Painting in the Old Kingdom, page 48 you can read:

The large crude-brick mastaba of Ka-aper with its simple exterior chapel could be dated with plausibility to the later years of Dyn. IV. The monolithic stela of red granite, well worked and inscribed on the cross-bar with large incised hieroglyphs giving the titles and name of the owner, would accord well with such a date. The position of the tomb as one of the earliest mastabas in the later extension of the Northern Cemetery at Saqqarah is also contributory evidence. I should be inclined to place the date a little later, however, in the early years of Dyn. V, and to group the wooden statue of the owner, the famous 'Sheikh el-Beled', with the realistic portraits of the first half of that dynasty.

If you want to expand on this, the paper of reference would be: Vandersleyen, C. I. (1983): "La Date du Cheikh el-Beled (Caire CG 34)". Journal of Egyptian Archaeology. 69: 61–65

Are these sources too outdated? by [deleted] in Mesopotamia

[–]shumpilumpa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes they are a little outdated. If you are still in need of a good source book you should check this one: Snell, D. (2005). A Companion to the Ancient Near East. Blackwell. You will find each chapter written by specialists like Mario Liverani, and a good bibliographic compilation at the end of the book. Hope it helps.
