@darnoc thx! personally I'm not a fan of biofuels either, but policy interest in the space could help cellulosic waste 2 fuel R&D, esp in CN
@darnoc it'll be interesting to see if biofuels hold up in China as a legit fuel source or reduce to a passing fad

In his analysis of the Ninth, de La Grange castigates Leonard Bernstein's doomful reading of the symphony--especially in his Harvard lectures, The Unanswered Question--as a work that not only foretells Mahler's death but the death of music too. In particular, he questions Bernstein's characterization of the opening unsteady rhythmic theme as the sound of a cardiac arrhythmia. - Mark Tong
