One of my favorite ancient medicine thingies is this: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edwin_Smith_Papyrus It's a literal medical journal of common injuries and diseases from their lives. It even includes detailed surgical procedures. It really gives a great impression of "holy poo poo humans are smart when we put our heads together and pay attention"

I'm talking long before that. Granted there is also evidence that hunter-gatherers generally didn't work 40 hour weeks typically. In either case the snag is the laborious process of making paper and having a place to keep all of it. Books being cheap enough for everybody to be literate is a very new thing that really does require manufacturing. The printing press really was a revolutionary invention. As stuff to write on became cheaper universal education became possible. In the case of hunter-gatherers they generally traveled light as they didn't stay put. Can't really build a school or a library if you never stay anywhere.

The measles outbreak in Samoa has become so devastating that the government has ordered all private business to shut down for two days, and unvaccinated families have been instructed to hang a red cloth outside their house to let people know. https://www.stuff.co.nz/world/south-pacific/117958394/samoa-measles-outbreak-mass-vaccinations-underway Possibly the worst part is that vaccination rates in Samoa dropped dramatically in 2018 after undertrained nurses killed two babies in a row by injecting them with vaccines that had been mixed with anaesthetic instead of purified water https://www.stuff.co.nz/world/south-pacific/117952035/nurses-fatal-vaccination-error-in-samoa-was-against-parents-wishes slinkimalinki has a new favorite as of 02:17 on Dec 5, 2019 |

a mysterious cloak posted:After many minutes of hard work... That's adorable. Thank you for your sacrifice. You remember America's most prolific serial killer, Henry Lee Lucas? He was lying through his teeth. He couldn't possibly have committed most of the murders he confessed to. Sure was convenient for a lot of detectives who were credulous and/or wanted to cross off some of their unsolved cases. quote:In the mid-1980s, Henry Lee Lucas was a star – at least in the context of America’s exploding fascination with serial killers. The subject of anxious news features and four feature films, Lucas confessed to murdering hundreds of people – at first 100, then 200, then about 600. An odd-jobs drifter with three teeth and a lazy eye, Lucas would recall, often on camera, precise and grisly details about each victim. Police officers from across the country interviewed him for more than 3,000 murder cases, to much fanfare; at least 200 cases were attributed to him, closing them to further investigation and making Lucas the country’s most prolific serial killer.

Looking forward to watching that. His story is pretty much every detective who ever heard his name trying to pawn off some unsolved case on a guy who'll confess to whatever so long as they take him out to get a cheeseburger while they walk him through what he needs to confess to.

There's also the interesting side trek into the Hand of Death satanic cult that he spun a whole tale about. Which I believe led to some cops doing a big search of a section of the Everglades to find the assassin training camp and busting some of the unluckiest drug smugglers in history.

There's some witnesses that put him in the area at the time but they lost the car and the machete that Toole claimed to use so they couldn't test it for DNA evidence. Walsh believed he did it, so they posthumously pinned it to Toole.

I get it though, because if Toole isn't the answer then the answer is "we don't loving know and we probably never will". At least with Toole Walsh gets some kind of closure for whatever that's worth.

Semi-cold. Cold enough for freezing death, not necessarily snow? I don't know, just guessing.

Yea I can see how maybe they were not very used to rain at all because they were from an area that was almost always cold enough for it to turn to snow. So they see rain and they think "oh this is fine, it means it's too warm to freeze!" and didn't think about what happens when you get wet in cold temperatures even if it's not below freezing.

You are looking at it too literally. The way I view it is that its a general statement at the foolishness and illprepared nature of the colonists in various situations, often leading to their death. The nationality and exact scenario isn't that important. Its funny and my favorite because out of the Spanish, British, and Russian colonists the Russians got picked for that exact scenario, likely because they were the predominat colonizers in that area at the time.

Like they had such a complete lack of knowledge that they didn't know how to build houses that were dry. For the prairie farmer settlers, I'll buy it. At least the only dry houses they'd seen since leaving the last decent sized settlement. It's easy to forget just how few people were around and how skilled craftsmen, like the kind who can build a watertight house, are less likely to need to emigrate in the first place, and then less likely to leave the population centers if they do. There was a particularly unfortunate incident where a bunch of impoverished fisherfolk and laborers, none of whom had ever even worked on a farm, let alone ran one, from Connemara showed up in central Minnesota at the urging of the local Catholic bishop, who was himself born in Ireland. They showed up in June, way too late to plant anything, and since many arrived without anything more than the clothes on their backs, they were in serious danger of starving to death during what would be one of the worst winters in memory. The local Freemasons organized everyone nearby to get them through the winter. You can look up Bishop Ireland's Connemara Experiment if you want to know more. A lot of settlers arrived in this condition (these folks were fleeing the potato famine and were still showing the effects when they got to Chicago) and then built what they could with the materials they could scavenge or harvest, and more than a few were probably not the handiest with a hammer and saw.

Like they had such a complete lack of knowledge that they didn't know how to build houses that were dry. this is more that the settlers probably lacked immediate construction experience, being a very small group of people, and struggled to build useful shelter out of local materials using local tools. if you're used to building with daub, with boards, with nails, then using bark strips to lash poles for a thatched hut is ancient and lost technology. but the old method of building is far more practical from a time and material standpoint plus consider that a small group of colonists have a much smaller pool of human knowledge than the current residents, who if they are somehow lacking a person who can direct the labor necessary to build a longhouse, could just call up someone's second cousin from the next village over to visit for a while and help throw up some new housing. and a lot of these colonial expeditions were terribly planned quote:The Darien scheme was an unsuccessful attempt by the Kingdom of Scotland to become a world trading state by establishing a colony called "Caledonia" on the Isthmus of Panama on the Gulf of Darién in the late 1690s. The aim was for the colony to have an overland route that connected the Pacific and Atlantic oceans. From its contemporary time to the present day, claims have been made that the undertaking was beset by poor planning and provisioning, divided leadership, a lack of demand for trade goods particularly caused by an English trade blockade, devastating epidemics of disease, collusion between the English East India Company and the English government to frustrate it, and a failure to anticipate the Spanish Empire's military response. It was finally abandoned in March 1700 after a siege by Spanish forces, which also blockaded the harbour. quote:Agriculture proved difficult and the local Indians, though hostile to Spain, were unwilling to trade for the combs and other trinkets offered by the colonists. Most serious was the almost total failure to sell any goods to the few passing traders who put into the bay. With the onset of summer the following year, malaria and fever led to many deaths. Eventually, the mortality rate rose to ten settlers a day. Local Indians brought gifts of fruit and plantains, but these were appropriated by the leaders and sailors, who mostly remained on board ships. The only luck the settlers had was in giant turtle hunting, but fewer and fewer men were fit enough for such strenuous work. The situation was exacerbated by the lack of food, mainly due to a high rate of spoilage caused by improper stowing. At the same time, King William instructed the Dutch and English colonies in America not to supply the Scots' settlement, so as not to incur the wrath of the Spanish Empire. The only reward the council had to give was alcohol, and drunkenness became common, even though it sped the deaths of men already weakened by dysentery, fever and the rotting, worm-infested food. turns out building heavy timber structures in a tropical climate is a real fuckin bad idea! Continuity RCP posted:From 1491. Can't copy and paste for some reason. that's a bit of editorializing - 1491 is a fine book but many rural europeans would have lived in thatch roofed structures as well. the failure here is more lack of specific knowledge among the colonists about how to build sturdy homes rather than european construction techniques being deficient (if not costlier and more difficult for local weather and colonial infrastructure) Mr. Fall Down Terror has a new favorite as of 23:42 on Dec 6, 2019 |

For anyone interested in the ongoing colonial discussion, I have to recommend a recent book called The Gulf as well. There too you can read about how Spanish colonists stumbled upon a paradise of fresh streams, estuaries, abundant shellfish and fish, birds, and the civilizations that had been tending the area for centuries prior... and simply could not figure out how to survive without constantly wrecking their ships, importing more food from Spain, and killing everyone present who might show them a better way. Then if you keep reading the book you can learn about how we're still loving the Gulf 500 years later and be truly unnerved.
