02:13 mircea_popescu also in the same vein, pine bark aged smoked sheep cheese (romanian thing, dunno if they do it anywhere else)
02:13 punkman how do you cut brie for the omlett?
02:13 mircea_popescu neverthless...
02:13 mircea_popescu punkman i actually used thin metal wire.
02:13 punkman like what shape I mean
02:13 mircea_popescu thin long slices
02:15 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.
02:15 mircea_popescu aha.
02:15 mircea_popescu it'snot even true that "everyone in europe = diesel". and it;s not true that "because regulation", either.
02:15 punkman queso de cabra is also fun in omelette, even has a rind similar to brie
02:15 pete_dushenski sorta playing the idiot as a means of catalysing 'debate'
02:16 punkman generally all the professional drivers have diesel around here.
02:16 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.
02:16 mircea_popescu because of this, some of the smartest automotive engineers went into diesel. it looked like the future.
02:16 pete_dushenski punkman professional as in truck/lorry drivers ?
02:16 punkman pete_dushenski: also taxis
02:17 pete_dushenski aha right.
02:17 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.
02:17 pete_dushenski mircea_popescu also more expensive. bigger design budget
02:17 mircea_popescu for this reason.
02:17 pete_dushenski giving better people just a bit more money to play with and voila.
02:17 mircea_popescu yup
02:18 mircea_popescu regulation played catchup to all this.
02:18 pete_dushenski not ~too~ much money, obviously. this, we know
02:18 mircea_popescu anyway. by now upwards of 2/3 of taxis actually run on compressed gas. way cheaper defo cleanner.
02:18 mircea_popescu much worse power curve of course, but fuck that, they're taxis.
02:19 pete_dushenski 2/3 across europe ?
02:20 mircea_popescu pretty much.
02:20 pete_dushenski compressed gas adoption was growing quite steadily in n.a. the last ~5 years.
02:20 punkman at least where there is gas pipe
02:21 pete_dushenski but now that gas/diesel prices have tanked, cng has been massacred.
02:21 mircea_popescu punkman it's really gpl not natural gas. they truck it.

02:21 punkman I want a gas kitchen/stove but I'd have to refill tanks which kinda sucks
02:22 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.
02:22 mircea_popescu gets stronger the longer it waits, of course, but the salt doesn't get it runny.
02:23 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.
02:23 mircea_popescu (salt content is a function of intended maturation period, the longer you wanna keep it around the saltier. still, within some bounds)
02:23 mircea_popescu punkman iirc they bury a 20-50 cubic metre tank for you if you ask.
02:24 punkman maybe when they start drilling for oil/gas south of the island
02:24 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.
02:25 mircea_popescu but otherwise, heating off the damned tank with ferried gas etc is still cheaper than using electricity.
02:25 punkman I use maybe 500L of heating oil in the winter, yeah
02:26 mircea_popescu now think "nordic system".

10:26 mircea_popescu the one line on which entrenched rent seeking interest and stupid but unaware youthful enthusiasm meet, is this particular type of idiocy.
10:27 ascii_field my current understanding is that usg has been specifically squeezing diesel heat users - they get untaxed fuel that is theoretically usable in trucks, and folks often 'cheat'. it has a colouring agent, and in parts of usa where this type of heater is common, policemen will often dip a wooden stick into a truck's tank to test for cheat
10:29 ascii_field this is a disgraceful and perhaps little-known thing, but very many american streets do not have piped gas.

16:04 mircea_popescu ascii_field perhaps so.

16:06 ascii_field as it is, folks in usa have ~no way~ to express 'i do not want to live in zimbabwe' other than by 'this town bans trailers'
16:06 mircea_popescu or moreover, it's a consequence of the bizzaro uncivilised yet hypocritical nature of the us.
16:06 ascii_field it doesn't really work, of course
