Elon Musk Quotes Cao Zhi

People are wondering what Elon Musk wanted to say by quoting this ancient Chinese poem.  I think it is obvious. 

煮豆燃豆萁，	zhǔ dòu rán dòu qí	Beanstalks are ignited to boil beans,
豆在釜中泣。	dòu zài fǔ zhōng qì	In the pot, the beans weep.
本是同根生，	běn shì tóng gēn shēng	[We are] born of the selfsame root,
相煎何太急！	xiāng jiān hé tài jí	Why in such a rush to fry me!

Consulting Engineers Hacked

 Having worked many years in the consulting engineer's area was astonished this morning that three of them had been hacked by the Israeli group Moses' Staff. They menaced to publish plans and drawing and so. There is nothing secret in the files of these companies, who cares about water pipes and wastewater treatment plants? Among the targeted is HGM of Dr. Yair Folkman. I have worked along with them. I know something about hackers' attacks against WWTPs. In my time, I was much worried about the year 2000 bug but this is ridiculous. Bad actors, as said The Donald. They are like the Arab construction workers sabotaging buildings by hiding cocacola bottles in the pipes to obstruct the flow and cause headaches to the Jews.  Always believed that there is no higher calling than planning and building water supply infrastructure, here and in Africa too, so I am amazed by the suicidal evil these Jewish hackers are committing.  On the other hand, they are harming private property, people worked very hard for years to accumulate those drawings and keep them private, they are worth money. 

Cheaper Dollars

 

The shekel continues to strengthen and the dollar has fallen to its lowest level in 25 years (April 1996). The dollar fell 0.9% to NIS 3,105, the euro lost 0.7% to NIS 3,602. The pound price drops by 0.9% to NIS 4.24. I a, going to buy a new car. The wife wants Skoda Fabia, but they are not selling it anymore.

TEVA won its first lawsuit for selling opioids in the USA. The stock jumped 10% today.

The Budapest Ashkenazium

 

The Ashkenazium is a college in Budapest centred on the history, customs, etc. of the Ashkenazi tribe in Central Europa. Interesting. I'd never imagined such a thing. Till last year I was convinced that no Jews remained in Hungary. I was wrong, maybe not completely.  

Picking Up Dollars Lying on Wall Street

Israeli Hi-Tech industry is very successful and dollars are flowing into the Treasury. So much that the sheqel is strengthening non-stop and this morning jumped to 3.1 sh/$.  Israeli tech companies have raised $20.8 billion in the first ten months of 2021, more than double the $10 billion in 2020. When I arrived here even eggs were rationed, and worried about "economic independence". 

Ella

 

Ella is my 2 y.o. granddaughter. Yesterday we took her to the playground. She started collecting leaves and bringing them to me. She is very attentive to the environment and understands all but is not speaking yet. Hod Hasharon was full of young witches going to Halloween parties.   

Lili

 

Two weeks ago I discovered Twitter, and Lili, a 24 y.o. twitterist with 3000 followers. The fat raccoon above is NOT Lili, but her banner, how she sees herself. Obviously, this is a girl with self-image and self-worth issues. She also posted a passport pic and a full body pic in the mirror. She is a perfectly nice clear-eyed Tel Aviv girl. She twits a lot. A lot! The obvious question is why and the obvious answer is to attract attention and get asked out by a suitable boy. She wrote: "To be a good girl from a good family does not bring boys to the yard". In the original: חצר that also means court or playground. She revealed that she already comes with "neduniya" (dowry) without saying that: "My grandmother gave me a present דורון apartment, but I would like to return it so the boys will want me for a present and not me for the present" (free translation of her high Hebrew. She is very intelligent.). 

A boy commented something. Lili: "You are dying for me". The boy: "I like you only on twitter because here I can have you in small portions". Lili is taking Biology and "Gender studies" at Gilman Bldg. of Tel Aviv University. Her parents came to visit her from the exclusive Artists' Village where they live. Lili introduced a friend. The friend: How do you do?  Father: "Are these gender studies also rotting your brain?" 

She mentions her family, of the Old German Jewish elite. The grand-uncle founded the Technion, aunt Trude is a known painter. A friendly girl warned her to hide these details because boys are easily intimidated.

A gentleman should never read the intimate diary of a young girl, but isn't it fascinating? I never paid two seconds of attention to the sentiments of anybody, less than all of the crying girls. Goodness gracious! I am growing sentimental (=senile)! 

P.D.: There is no anonymity on the internet. I found out - easily - her name and the name of his father, who is a professional copywriter. Lili's only problem is that she is taller than average Israeli boys. I understand it is a big problem for her. With this, hereby I am stopping reading her and her friends' chitchat. 

P.D.: 12-11-21 She writes    EDS: חחחחח אני אנמית ויש לי

That explains all. She is anemic and has EDS. That is why she complains of being too tall. No fun at all. I'll stop here.
