Mark A @cabasse.bsky.social · 23/08/2026that's a MASSIVE array. 40+kW right? i've got 27 panels (600w) 011
Mark A @cabasse.bsky.social · 23/08/2026the one sitting next to rosie trying to defend him? it's wild how even back then he was able to woo certain idiots into thinking he was a decent person 120
Mark A @cabasse.bsky.social · 19/08/2026damnit you're right. the clouds and trees are not moving at all but their position jumps between cuts 112
Mark A @cabasse.bsky.social · 16/08/2026solar and wind take up a lot of space but that space can be shared with other uses. grazing farmland in the case of wind, and growing shade crops/raising sheep in the case of solar 220
Mark A @cabasse.bsky.social · 12/08/2026i'm very intrigued by the quality of resin printing but horrified of the toxicity. have read some stories about people suffering long term health effects after not taking the proper precautions. 000
Mark A @cabasse.bsky.social · 07/08/2026that's cool. i suppose this ampex ATR-102 was TOTL for the 70s too. interestingly it's still 20-20khz/70db at 15ips. i'm not so sure many others were able to hit that in the 70s. perhaps in later years 110
Mark A @cabasse.bsky.social · 06/08/2026the fact american auto makers have the audacity to make these insane vehicles and market them to the everyman is reason enough for me to never purchase any of their vehicles. 010
Mark A @cabasse.bsky.social · 06/08/2026how do you type an emdash outside of microsoft word or a mobile keyboard? i've always defaulted to the standard - it serves the same effect! 011
Mark A @cabasse.bsky.social · 06/08/2026starting in the 1970s analog tape had plenty of dynamic range and frequency response running at 30ips. 2131
Mark A @cabasse.bsky.social · 06/08/2026i know it's contentious and everyone will have their preference... but we already spend about 2/3rds of the year in DST and only the remaining 3rd in ST. it would suck much more losing the afternoon sun in spring/fall and the evening sun in summer 000
Mark A @cabasse.bsky.social · 27/07/2026i miss early 90s discovery channel and "the learning channel" - beyond 2000 was my jam at like age 9 there's nothing educational at all on any of these now and it sucks. 071
Mark A @cabasse.bsky.social · 24/07/202698k for a piano? what did he buy a bösendorfer!? (or are the high end steinways really that pricy now?!) 000
Mark A @cabasse.bsky.social · 21/07/2026might use water like power plant scrubbers or the old rainbow vacuum 131
Mark A @cabasse.bsky.social · 20/07/2026sodium doesn't come close to matching the energy density of LFP or especially NMC lithium ion, nevermind the true next gen tech like amprius' silicon anode lithium which is probably about 4x the power density of the current state of the art sodium 001
Mark A @cabasse.bsky.social · 14/07/2026i miss this version of the internet youtu.be/fAXO7SXK0Pc?...youtu.beB.O.B. (Birds Over Big Bird)YouTube video by Bell Brothers 010
Mark A @cabasse.bsky.social · 12/07/2026this was my 14yo self's pride and joy. aiwa cx-na50. 60Wx2, tons of LEDs, 3cd changer and dual full logic/auto reverse cassettes. would blast the shit out of it when the parents were away 150

Reposted by Mark AHow-Sen Chong @how-sen.com · 02/07/2026Cars are one of the reasons why cities get so much hotter. An average gasoline car can produce 3.9 MJ of waste heat for *every kilometre* it drives. That’s enough to raise the temperature of a 665 sqft apartment twenty degrees centigrade.mass.streetsblog.orgExhaust Pipes Are Making Heat Waves Much, Much Worse - Streetsblog MassachusettsThe long-term climate impacts of the climate pollution from cars and trucks are well documented, but the daily short-term effects of the wasted heat energy radiating from engine blocks and exhaust pip... 1918273
Mark A @cabasse.bsky.social · 24/06/2026it's so fucking irritating we have no access to these small but capable EVs available now in the states. looks like it would be a lot of fun. 020
Mark A @cabasse.bsky.social · 24/06/2026it's insane how much waste there is at every step in the process of oil production. flaring at the source, energy inputs to transport/refine/transport again and then so much gets wasted as heat at the final step 000
Mark A @cabasse.bsky.social · 21/06/2026it seems different this time. there's enough critical mass to keep things going hopefully 000
Mark A @cabasse.bsky.social · 19/06/2026yep, this. it's viscerally embarrassing to be an american. people voted for this shitbag 3x - i am not proud of my fellow countrymen at all and i daydream often of trying to figure out a way to get the fuck out of here. 010
Mark A @cabasse.bsky.social · 13/06/2026that's some AI slop though (still looks much nicer than what the luce actually turned out to be) 000
Mark A @cabasse.bsky.social · 12/06/2026i would bet against this. batteries keep getting better to the point that liquid fuels are not going to be necessary 000
Mark A @cabasse.bsky.social · 09/06/2026it's surprising how mountainous the south of crimea is. i never would have guessed. 030
Mark A @cabasse.bsky.social · 25/05/2026it's because rail has to undergo a much higher level of legal scrutiny, environmental impacts, deciding on a route, getting public opinion and then the the land is acquired... date centers get to skip most of that for some reason. they just get to say "it's zoned for industrial!" after purchase 100
Mark A @cabasse.bsky.social · 16/05/2026they've actually been around since the early 1970s! (which i thought was a crazy fact) 110
