whoa wait what?did you actually do that phattey?that thing needs some work done.you could lose your hand!thats an extreme case but true.fuck man good luck.srs i always respected chainsaws and other saws

'If a simple & minor wound like that could kill a human being, we wouldn't have survived this long.

BUT OF COURSE - I may be curious what the "natural" solution would be for a "Caveman" - what would happen with no antibiotics ? I'm not that curious.

This is what I'm taking -

2 days with Cephalexin
2 days taking Amoxicillin
take it from there.

The swelling is completely down in my little finger after taking one day of Cephalexin 500 mg.

I recommend that all Americans have their own stash of antibiotics (Penicillin, Amoxicillin, Cephalexin, Clindamycin, Vancomycin) because American health care is so bad.

Looks like I get to be a one-handed gardener for a few weeks.

What a Waste.

Imagine if they spent $2.3 Billion on a SERIOUS telescope - designed for audience viewing.

Given Las Vegas' location in the desert, they have one advantage.

the "natural solution" for a "caveman" ? no antibiotics? smear honey on it. you might be harassed by ants, but honey is so pure that it should keep the wound infection free if you washed it out well...will prevent gangrene as well. goes great on biscuits too!

honey is anti-fungal and antibiotic also.

Archeologists Uncover 3,500-Year-Old Artifact, Could Change History​

Mod1 day ago410 mins

Archeologists have uncovered a 3500-year-old artifact in an untouched tomb. At first, it may look like nothing, but what they found on the ancient stone is changing history as we know it.​

The unearthing of the tomb of the so-called “Griffin Warrior” near the ancient city of Pylos in southwest Greece led archeologists to a treasure trove of discoveries that give us a fascinating glimpse into the past. Among the tomb belonging to the “Griffin Warrior,” a super wealthy ancient Mycenaean warrior, were impressive pieces of armor, weapons, and jewels. However, one piece that almost went unnoticed could rewrite the history of art as we know it
Although the tomb was originally discovered in 1930, legal issues with the Greek government limited excavations until recent years. The tomb has finally been unearthed, and archeologists from the University of Cincinnati were excited to finally discover what secrets it had been hiding among the remains of the powerful Myceneaen warrior and his treasure trove of burial riches.

After some three dozen researchers worked together to meticulously dig out the Griffin Warrior tomb near the ancient Palace of Nestor, taking many months to uncover many of the treasures, they finally revealed their stunning discoveries.
Among the more than 3,000 objects arrayed on and around the warrior’s body were silver cups, gold rings, precious stone beads, fine-toothed ivory combs, an intricately built sword, and other weapons, but perhaps the most amazing of them all was one gem, dating back to 1,500 BC, that was particularly shocking.

The agate stone at first seemed fairly insignificant as it was stuck in limestone. However, after a year of careful restoration, researchers finally uncovered something underneath the limestone that would leave them stunned beyond belief.
The stone had been intricately carved with a design featuring two warriors in a Greek battle clashing against each other fiercely with one fallen warrior at their feet. One bare-chested warrior plunges a blade into the neck of an assailant, while a second enemy corpse lays at his feet.

“The seal, named the ‘Pylos Combat Agate’ has been hailed as one of the finest works of prehistoric Greek art ever discovered and may depict the mythological war between the Trojans and Mycenaeans, which was told in Homer’s Iliad hundreds of years later,” The Telegraph reported.
The stone is only about 3.6 centimeters or 1.4 inches wide, and some of the details in the design are only 1/2 a millimeter or 1/100 of an inch. It would have been used as a seal, making an impression in wax, but how the artist was able to make such a detailed carving on such a tiny canvas with ancient tools had everyone in awe.

Depicting human bodies in such anatomical detail was thought to be way beyond the skill of Bronze Age artisans, yet the artist’s carving is positively flawless with an incredible level of detail put into the tiny scene.
Even more incredible, many of the details such as the ornamentation on the shields and jewelry are too small to be viewed with the naked eye. It baffles researchers, who have no idea how ancient craftsmen were able to create the minute scene without microscopes.

Researchers are now trying to figure out how ancient craftsmen were able to create such intricate designs with the tools they had available. The discovery has also turned the art history world on its head because a piece like this was unheard of during that time period.
“What is fascinating is that the representation of the human body is at a level of detail and musculature that one doesn’t find again until the classical period of Greek art 1,000 years later. It’s a spectacular find,” Jack Davis, Professor of Greek Archaeology at the University of Cincinnati’s Department of Classics, explained. “Some of the details on this are only a half-millimeter big, they’re incomprehensibly small,” he furthered.

“It seems that they were producing art of the sort that no one ever imagined they were capable of producing,” Professor Davis continued. “It shows that their ability and interest in representational art, particularly movement and human anatomy, is beyond what it was imagined to be. Combined with the stylized features, that itself is just extraordinary.”
“Looking at the image for the first time was a very moving experience, and it still is,” dig leader Shari Stocker of the University of Cincinnati’s Department of Classics said. “It’s brought some people to tears. It would have been a valuable and prized possession, which certainly is representative of the Griffin Warrior’s role in Mycenaean society.”

“This seal should be included in all forthcoming art history texts and will change the way that prehistoric art is viewed,” Stocker concluded, proving that even the most accepted facts about human history can be changed with one small discovery.

i'm not saying that it was aliens, but... nobody knows how they made the Antikythera orrery either. so much knowledge of the past has been lost...

Hmm. That article – like many history articles – was tailored for the masses to make the discovery sound unique and spectacular. Yes, it was unique and spectacular but when you put it in context, it was probably just the burial of a Minoan aristocrat who somehow ended up there. The Minoan culture was waning as natural disasters had wrecked the palaces and Mycenaean thugs were taking over the island. Mycenae was still pretty crude at that time, so the goodies from Crete were treasured. Even the pharaohs of Egypt -which was in the middle of their very prosperous New Kingdom Period - traded for Minoan luxury goods. Speaking of Egypt, the pyramids in Giza were already ancient and Hatshepsut (the girl pharaoh) built Karnak and her incredible mortuary temple around this time etc. The end of the Bronze Age was a very fascinating time in history.

just because we have not yet discovered an ancient magnifying glass does not mean that none ever existed. all it would take is a chance fracture at the correct curvature of some relatively clear obsidian...i've got some that you can see through.

I buy fish antibiotics for me and my dogs. Same thing just not made at FDA facility, although some are.

Look up Credo Mutwa, he has an ancient medallion shaped like a hand with a hole in the middle which if you put a drop of water in it becomes a magnifying glass.

I've never seen this before, anyone else?

 

[shithawk420]

wtf?nope never seen that before.did you grow that?

I gave it to a local grower, he said it finished fine. It was an autoflower Kush. A freebee from seedsman. It's 2 days old in that picture.
My thoughts were a possible hypogeal germination.

if it had a few more leaves it would look like a mini palm tree lol
