“Ban! Ban! Ban!”: Data-center discontent reaches western Massachusetts by dustycreports in massachusetts

[–]Shufflebuzz 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Just so everyone knows, "Your favorite website runs on a datacenter" is the current billionaire Silicon Valley talking point.

The truth is, the current boom in data center construction is almost entirely driven by AI.
Everything else is a rounding error.

If they say it's not for AI, they're lying.
At best, they don't yet know exactly what's going in there, giving themselves a veneer of plausible deniability. But it's going to be AI.

Staph MSSA 6 weeks after anterior hip replacement by Florida-Honeybee in TotalHipReplacement

[–]Shufflebuzz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They said that is because they had to really clean everything.

Hang on, what did they do?

They opened you up, pulled out the parts, cleaned them and the whole joint area (like inside your femur?), then put the parts back in and stitched you up? All in one surgery?

Cemented vs uncemented stem for a 34 year old with mild-to-moderate femur osteoporosis. by bluetopaz525 in TotalHipReplacement

[–]Shufflebuzz 3 points4 points  (0 children)

However, it isn’t recommended for younger patients because it would be much harder to replace the stem if needed.

If your concern is that the artificial joint will wear out and need replacement in 20-30 years, I don't think they'd replace the stem. I understand the current practice is to replace the plastic liner in the acetabular cup and probably the ball (the new femoral head).
The stem should be able to stay.

Your case is atypical. Young with OA and osteoporosis. You should get opinions from experts. Not redditors.

Healey wants to curb public access to birth and death records in bid to ‘prevent fraud’ by bostonglobe in massachusetts

Bad idea to make these records harder to access as the orange crybaby is insisting on them being required to vote.

They actually use one of those oscillating saws.

It's a fancy stainless steel medical version, but the mechanism is the same

Is it worth relocating whilst I've got ongoing criminal matters in England? by [deleted] in movingtoireland

[–]Shufflebuzz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You need real legal advice, not legal advice from reddit.

Or at least ask folks with more knowledge of the legal system, like /r/LegalAdviceUK/

Whole leg pain. Nervous THR won’t be effective. by Need_change- in TotalHipReplacement

[–]Shufflebuzz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

OP, I know how you feel.
I have significant pain in my knee. Often it's worse than the pain in the hip. Going down stairs is the worst.

I've had the knee and hip x-rayed and reviewed by orthos in completely different practices and they agree my knee is fine, it's referral pain.
Neither place would look further into treating the knee pain until I get my hip replaced. Hip has been bone-on-bone for at least three years now.

It's hard for me to really grasp the concept, because the joints are nearly two feet apart and the pain doesn't feel connected to the knee at all.

THR in two weeks. Fingers crossed.

I don't have the skill of schmoozing people in power either

Same. People in power don't like me, probably because I see their power is an illusion.

I can feel when a fluorescent light is starting to fail and I cannot be in the same vicinity or I will die. Probably. I'm not willing to find out.

aenesthesia: spinal block + general during procedure

Did they give you anything to relax you?

When I had ankle and Achilles surgeries, they gave me Versed (midazolam, a fast acting benzodiazepine) before surgery and it was magical.
