Last week one of my art teachers suggested I 'dial down the feminism.'
Today I showed him my newest piece:

An 11 kW home EV-charger on offer for €199 (in Germany). Good news for EV owners but in the Netherlands, existing low-voltage grids are designed for ~1-2 kW of simultaneous demand per home. The incredible ease with which such loads can be added brings major, hidden challenges.

Oh gosh, people who apparently think Mastodon ”polls” can be taken seriously (that they are statistically valid, and aren’t just for amusement) are weird. The same naturally holds for birdsite polls.

Excellent comment from @bencsmoke over on the birdsite:
"Starmer having a stronger stance on Nike's design choices than on the genocide in Gaza tells you everything you need to know about the man"

Keith Haring died of AIDS aged 31 on 16 Feb 1990.
His last piece of art, Unfinished Painting, was deliberately incomplete, reflecting the devastating, unquantifiable loss to the arts due to AIDS.

How the blank did the Tesla board decide on $56 Billion for Melon Husks's compensation when:
1. He spends most of his time shit-posting on Birdsite?
2. To the extent he does practice business leadership, his attention is split 3 ways (Birdsite, SpaceX, Tesla).* Tesla is not getting his full attention.
3. He's caused major reputational damage to Tesla since acquiring Birdsite.
* Yaccarino is Birdsite CEO, but who do you think is really steering it?

I enjoyed this article about sport being the last hold-out area of journalism on the #birdsite. And that's gone now, too.

So... I just saw a birdsite post with a comic mockingly saying that the islamist groups like HAMAS could just surrender and make everyone safe.
Let me remind people of some facts:
The reason why Islamic groups no longer surrender is because in the 2000s, the Taliban surrendered and left the city of Kandahar leaving everything, including their weapons behind and only taking their cars. They were slaughtered by machine gun fire by people contracted by the United States government w…

i know, let’s make urls tiny, except for the domain and, inexplicably, the first 14 characters after the domain.

It's mid-February and it was 16.8⁰C (62F) in Kurilsk, Sakhalin, East-Siberia today. That's 7 degrees C warmer than any February temperature recorded there before today!

Does anyone know how to turn a Mastodon account archive file into a stand-alone website for offline viewing?
I wish Mastodon would give me an archive that is as easy to view as birdsite's.

I know it's the birdsite, but there is this great 13-post story about reverse-engineering a teleprinter that was onboard the Space Shuttle. Wonderful stuff! https://x.com/kenshirriff/status/1770188240777044079?s=20

The Space Shuttle had a large teleprinter onboard so the astronauts could receive text documents. We want to get it working, but first some reverse engineering... 1/13

That's 98F.
Thierry Goose on the birdsite:
New national record for February in #Morocco with 36.6C in Tan-Tan! That breaks the previous record (36.3C) set in Feb. 1960 in Nouasseur.
Also 36.4C in Essaouira and 36.0C in Agadir, new monthly records. We’re just mid-February…

LOL, turns out EDF had told France that it could build 6 new EPR nuclear power plants for €52 billion. Roughly the same amount as they've just disclosed for 2 of those at Hinkley Point C.
Brace for their update, but they'll take their time ;)

Rechter: dubbel glas moet ook in monumentaal pand, kosten niet voor huurder
Een eigenaar van een monumentaal pand in Amsterdam moet van de rechter investeren in dubbel glas en mag de extra kosten niet afwentelen op de huurder. Het is volgens de brancheclub van vastgoedverhuurders 'een verrassende uitspraak' met gevolgen voor andere eigenaren.
