Tokyo-based start-up Tsubame Industries has developed a 4.5-metre-tall (14.8-feet), four-wheeled robot that looks like “Mobile Suit Gundam” from the wildly popular Japanese animation series, and it can be yours for $3 million.
“$3 mln” is somehow a lot less explanatory than “$3m”
I thought it was $3/min 🤷🏽♂️
$3 million / minute
I think it’s to draw a distinction from the similar “milliard”, which means “billion” in British English but has fallen out of fashion.
It’s a bit of a shame really, since it makes much more sense: How big is a billion?
I only go with SI units: Gigabucks
Anyone in possession of a billion dollars is a Gigabuckaroo
