mircea_popescu: ~depends~ being tghe key word.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform the only problem is that it takes me ~20 minutes to translate one. it maybe takes me 15 minutes to read and fix his, except i'll also get angry. so it's a sort of economical problem.

mircea_popescu: your ennumerations must be balanced, either ennumerate nouns or adjectives.

mircea_popescu: "this 10 milimetre long car got great fuel economy and runs on someone's halitosis".
mircea_popescu: are these people off their rocker ? you can't name yourself a hedge fund with under 1 bn just like you can't call a thing a car if it's under 1 meter long.

mircea_popescu: well, heavier than gas yes.
mircea_popescu: (basically, you're burnhing the diesel as gasoline and have no fucking idea)\
mircea_popescu: it's gone now, mostly because newer refineries slice the column differently ☟︎
mircea_popescu: this lasted for almost 3 decades, peaking in the 90s.
mircea_popescu: specific technological considerations i am not prepared to discuss in detail made so there was a huge and apparently stable glut of diesel fuel on the market.

mircea_popescu: "it's a blockchain in excel on Sarah's computer"
