I read it as miles. If some_guy meant meters, then that would add such a new level of comedy to it hahaha

I'm aware that he probably meant miles, but he still used the wrong abbreviation (should have been mi). Gotta be careful about that kind of thing, although I'm not sure what the tech anecdote equivalent of the Mars Climate Orbiter would be. Someone taking it too seriously, like I'm doing here, probably. ๐Ÿ˜
