“My family is doing empathy and protecting themselves and others from disease spread, but I don’t want to do that because choosing to modify my behaviour to benefit strangers makes me uncomfy. Please agree with me that it is my family who has mental health issues so I can keep feigning ignorance about why everybody keeps getting sick all the time while maintaining my vibrant social life as a gossiping old biddy”

After catching Armageddon and Die Hard 2 tonight, I was just thinking about Bruce Willis and how sad his illness is. He’s a seriously good guy who’s brought a lot of enjoyment to a lot of people. I hope he’s hanging in there.

People who put stickers on laptops:

Why?

I'm serious. I have a gallon bag of stickers from events and I have just never felt a compulsion to put them on my laptops. Macs, ThinkPads, EliteBooks. I just don't get it. Help me understand the madness.

I’m in a weird place where I like seeing people wallpapering their laptops with stickers but I have no interest in doing that to my own laptop. I think it harkens back to the school days where we borrowed books for the semester from the school and had to turn them back in at the end of the semester in comparably good condition. Even when I got to the level when we bought our textbooks I still could never bring myself to highlight in them or take notes in the margin. You know what I like instead of stickers when people pass out swag at conferences? Disposable beverage coasters 😀

#Ireland embraced #DataCenters that the #AI boom needs. Now they’re consuming too much of its energy

By MATT O’BRIEN
December 19, 2024

CLONDALKIN, Ireland (AP) — "Dozens of massive data centers humming at the outskirts of #Dublin are consuming more electricity than all of the urban homes in Ireland and starting to wear out the warm welcome that brought them here.

"Now, a country that made itself a computing factory for #Amazon, #Google, #Meta, #Microsoft and #TikTok is wondering whether it was all worth it as tech giants look around the world to build even more data centers to fuel the next wave of #ArtificialIntelligence.

"Fears of #RollingBlackouts led Ireland’s grid operator to halt new data centers near Dublin until 2028. These huge buildings and their powerful computers last year consumed 21% of the nation’s electricity, according to official records. No other country has reported a higher burden to the International Energy Agency.

"Not only that, but Ireland is still heavily reliant on burning #FossilFuels to generate electricity, despite a growing number of wind farms sprouting across the countryside. Further data center expansion threatens Ireland’s goals to sharply cut planet-warming emissions.

"Ireland is a 'microcosm of what many countries could be facing over the next decade, particularly with the growth of AI,' said energy researcher Paul Deane of University College Cork."

My spreadsheet of studies that find #COVID19 causes Long COVID, damages hearts and brains, and causes chronic health impairments has reached 1,400. Sections (tabs) are included for pregnancy, reinfection, cardiac, neuro, cancer, immune system and other.

Fun fact: If you spent just 15 seconds reading the brief citations included for each study, it'd take almost 6 hours to review the entire spreadsheet.

Curiosity moved me to investigate further.

'What's the sense of wrestling with a pig? You both get all over muddy . . . and the pig likes it.'" (April 1948)

"Don’t wrestle with a chimney sweep or you will get covered with grime." (1776)

"He who wrestles with a hog must expect to be spattered with filth, whether he is vanquished or not." (1872)

@KeithDJohnson @blogdiva My dad used to say something like this, but it was "Never argue with a pig. It will waste your time and irritate the pig."

But I argued with him a lot so his lesson apparently never set in 😂😔

It also reminds me of a song we learned at camp, set to a well-known melody:

It was early in October,
I was feeling far from sober
As I stumbled down the street in drunken pride
When my knees began to flutter
I just lay down in the gutter
And a pig came up and laid down by my side
By my side! By my side!
A pig came up and laid down by my side.

Not a word did we utter
As we lay there in the gutter
Till a lady passing by was heard to say
"You can tell a man who boozes
By the company he chooses,"
So the pig got up and slowly walked away.
Walked away! Walked away!
So the pig got up and slowly walked away.

@KeithDJohnson

haha that fits! Hmm I hummed it at SoundHound and it did not know. It's a classic jaunty tune, but have no idea how to find its name. It is NOT Turkey in the Straw.

But delightfully, I did find more stanzas! There's a cow, and a dog, not one but TWO goats:

http://sniff.numachi.com/pages/tiPIGINEB4.html

I searched the songwriters, and possibly it was written in 1935. (I'm not being very thorough.)

The below site only has the stanza I quoted, and credits it to a different author:

https://dwarfe0.tripod.com/mrsdeathsdaintieditties/id32.html

Maybe the additional stanzas were written later.

There seem to be many versions of it, so I'm guessing different tunes, and it's taking the shape of a traditional folk song that gets redone every time someone new sings it. Deeper research should turn up more.
