mircea_popescu: punkman i actually used thin metal wire.
punkman: like what shape I mean
mircea_popescu: thin long slices
pete_dushenski: mircea_popescu baruth is a bit of a troll. he's baiting here. and hooking 'em too by the looks of the comments.
mircea_popescu: it'snot even true that "everyone in europe = diesel". and it;s not true that "because regulation", either.
punkman: queso de cabra is also fun in omelette, even has a rind similar to brie
pete_dushenski: sorta playing the idiot as a means of catalysing 'debate'
punkman: generally all the professional drivers have diesel around here.
mircea_popescu: what happens is that throughout the 90s, diesel fuel was 50% the price of gasoline, and gpl conversion was not a mass market thing like it is now. you could get it, like you could get nox.
mircea_popescu: because of this, some of the smartest automotive engineers went into diesel. it looked like the future.
pete_dushenski: punkman professional as in truck/lorry drivers ?
punkman: pete_dushenski: also taxis
pete_dushenski: aha right.
mircea_popescu: because of this, the diesels available were WAY better. it's not that "built to higher specs". it's that built by better people. substantially better.
pete_dushenski: mircea_popescu also more expensive. bigger design budget
mircea_popescu: for this reason.
pete_dushenski: giving better people just a bit more money to play with and voila.
mircea_popescu: regulation played catchup to all this.
pete_dushenski: not ~too~ much money, obviously. this, we know
mircea_popescu: anyway. by now upwards of 2/3 of taxis actually run on compressed gas. way cheaper defo cleanner.
mircea_popescu: much worse power curve of course, but fuck that, they're taxis.
pete_dushenski: 2/3 across europe ?
mircea_popescu: pretty much.
pete_dushenski: compressed gas adoption was growing quite steadily in n.a. the last ~5 years.
punkman: at least where there is gas pipe
pete_dushenski: but now that gas/diesel prices have tanked, cng has been massacred.

punkman: I want a gas kitchen/stove but I'd have to refill tanks which kinda sucks
mircea_popescu: anyway, re the cheese, as apparently it's unknown other than "that south transylvanian cheese" : sheepmilk cheese is cut up thinly, salt is added and ths is mixed (often, by hand). the result is placed in a tube made out of pine bark. it may or may not be smoked. it can also be placed in a sheep's stomach. inthis arrangement it keeps indefinitely, it is geenraly consumed after about a year.
mircea_popescu: gets stronger the longer it waits, of course, but the salt doesn't get it runny.
pete_dushenski: punkman i have a propane bbq but only because 45 year-old condos don't have natural gas lines here. most houses do though.
mircea_popescu: (salt content is a function of intended maturation period, the longer you wanna keep it around the saltier. still, within some bounds)
mircea_popescu: punkman iirc they bury a 20-50 cubic metre tank for you if you ask.
punkman: maybe when they start drilling for oil/gas south of the island
mircea_popescu: course greece (esp stuff like crete) is a bit of an outlier. no gas lines, which is unheard of in yurp, and no real need to heat.
mircea_popescu: but otherwise, heating off the damned tank with ferried gas etc is still cheaper than using electricity.
punkman: I use maybe 500L of heating oil in the winter, yeah
