that's impossible to work with.
just to make one single computer chip.
it's like this undying problem.

Muszą zrobić to same.
They have to do it for themselves.
and this is not trivial,
taki dziwaczny problem.
this is not that alien of a problem.
and there's examples everywhere --

That's the point.
