    AOC democratic senator from New York went to Georgia and brought back two #jars full of disgusting drinking #water from #Georgia state after #datacenters have been built.

    I'm disgusted, but I'm also confused why a New York senator is taking this to the EPA (USA national #Environmentalprotectionagency) and not a Senator from Georgia?? [can't EVEN talk about the #gerrymandering that's happening RIGHT NOW in the south east it's so frustrating so that's probably related]

    ...

    #alexandriaocasiocortez(Democrat, NY) and #BernieSanders(I, VT) have proposed laws that STOP #AI data centers from being built until there are regulations and laws to protect all of us.

    I have been chewing on my opinion of generative AI and #LLMs for a while now, but it is becoming more clear that the #environmental dangers are worth opposing it regardless of your opinion on theft.

  6. I was reminded that maybe it's time for a peperomia update. They have progressed a lot in the last month!

  7. Ce soir, c'est la cinquième fois que je rentre la tribu d'oies-jars. Pour la première fois, j'ai mis moins de 5 minutes (sous la grosse flotte, c'est très bien ainsi).
    Ma petite victoire du jour qui fait tellement du bien!

    Les deux groupes cohabitent et respectent vraiment la clôture. Tellement soulagée...

    Demain, je prends le temps de proposer des nids aux oies et je reprends les activités à la pépinière, ça urge...

  8. My peperomia clones are v slowly growing. Look at those cute little leaves! Maybe they will take off when it gets warm again.

  9. I Have The Answer!

    I know where Peter Piper’s pickled peppers are! They are in my kitchen. At least, about a third of them are.

    I had some peppers in my refrigerator that were not going to be used up before they shrivelled up, so I decided to pickle them. I had pickled some peppers a couple of months previously and was quite pleased with the result, so I decided to use the same recipe again.

    I used to do quite a lot of canning when my children were still children, and I have kept the canning bath, the jar grabber, and some jars and lids. So, I was ready!

    After the process was complete and the hot jars were cooling on my kitchen counter, I was reminded of the old tongue-twister about Peter Piper that was first published in John Harris’s Peter Piper’s Practical Principles of Plain and Perfect Pronunciation in 1813:

    Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers,
    A peck of pickled peppers Peter Piper picked;
    If Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers,
    Where’s the peck of pickled peppers Peter Piper picked?

    So, that got me wondering, how much is a peck?

    When I Googled it, I was told that a peck is 9.3 quarts, which is equivalent to 8801 millilitres. I had five 500-millilitre jars for a total of 2500 millilitres. That, I decided, was near-as-dammit a third of a peck.

    So, there you have it. About a third of Peter Piper’s pickled peppers are on my kitchen counter. They are accompanied by some pickled carrots because I had excess brine.

    Now to find out why putting things in jars is called canning.

  10. I recently bought some new rubber seals for some old clip-top jars. The jars are perfectly good except their seals have weathered over the years, so I tracked down replacements online.

    It was harder than I thought to find the two sizes I needed, 7-9.5cm and 8.5-11cm, in the one shop in Australia at a reasonable price. So if anyone else wants to know, I got them from Biome – about $8 for a pack of six, two sizes, plus shipping, total just under $27.

    Four jars already refitted with seals, more as I need to open them for something. Better than throwing the jars out and buying new ones.

    NB: I don't have Kilner jars; it doesn't matter as long as the internal / external dimensions roughly match what they're replacing.

  11. @matthijskooijman not sure whether #label getting off in #dishwasher is a #feature, not a #bug. It will stuck on exit #water filter and make trouble, at least that was experience when similar label went off in mine. I don't put #jars in dishwasher anymore for that reason. I wish there was proper recycling for these jars and #lids ...

  12. Handy helper tip!

    If you've ever struggled opening a jar, or have noticed that under HRT, your ability to open jars has diminished, try this:

    Don't grip tightly until your elbows are sticking out and the jar is closest to your chest. This way, the force is applied at a greater mechanical ratio, and it is applied predominantly from your shoulders, instead of your wrists, elbows, and so on.

    Also, buy a she-man. There are some jars that legitimately require one.

  13. Ce matin, il y avait du soleil, ça fait plaisir et ça permet des photos (oui, j'anonymise la vache). #vache, #coq, #jars.

  14. Damn! I know I’ve got #arthritic #hands but these #jars from #HongKong are proving very hard to #open!

    I’ve got one to the point that the faintest sheen of oil is showing at the bottom of the lid & I can smell the sauce.

    My next move is very hot water - or a rock!

    Do the restaurants that use this sauce employ body builders to open the jars?

  20. The Jars

    At the long tables of time // God’s jars are boozing. // They guzzle the eyes of the seeing and the eyes of the blind, // the hearts of the ruling shadows, // the hollow cheek of evening. // They are the mightiest of boozers: // they raise to their lips the empty as well as the full // and don’t spill over like you or I. //

    Paul Celan, Mohn und Gedächtnis (1952). Transl Pierre Joris.
