The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed.

Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.

Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

You estimated an answer based on wrong input data and no expertise in the matter. You made a guess and set yourself up as "the expert that knows how much fuel it is". Now you continue spreading misinformation. It's not how it works, stop trying to give your opinion about things you know nothing about.
I estimated an answer based on the available data, and never cast myself as an expert.
Like any estimate, it is associated with error. But even with error, it is better than meaningless criticism like "That can't be right", truthiness like "a couple of hours??", or politically motivated reasoning like "If IDF is associated with this, then it must be completely useless".
If you want to try to make a better estimate based on better data, be my guest.
No, you took data straight from the source - you made it the fuck up. You are spreading misinformation.
No, I won't repeat your mistake by guesstimating how much fuel does a hospital I have never seen needs on a daily basis.
No, it is not better than what you mention, because it is simply false. And a person reading your post will come to a false conclusion. So either you have an interest in spreading bullcrap, or you do it because you believe you are right. Both of which are concerning.
If you can't estimate what a hospital requires, then why would you assume 300L of fuel is insufficient?
The original poster concluded it was insufficient by comparing it to an automobile fuel tank. Which is ridiculous. If you actually think that's a logical comparison, then you're just looking for someone to confirm your biases.
