Discovering a new world

 

The world of Twitter. It makes me difficult to focus on my work. A girl posts almost naked pictures and writes "Please somebody fuck me". Somebody answers I shall be glad to be at your service". The girl answers "ichs"=pfuiia. Down Oded Kramer explains that an open desire does not mean that she is looking for a stranger. This world is new to me, I am from another era. I am a "boomer". 

I assume these are all kosher girls, they are studying and working, fast reaching their "sell-by date". What they want is a husband or at least a stable partner. They are offering easy sex only to attract candidates. They are constantly depressed and crying after each "date". It is rather hard for these girls in the current society. I pity them. 

I"ll stop reading their messages on Twitter, I cannot do anything for these girls nor with them, and certainly cannot change Tel Aviv's free culture, but they distract me from work. These days I start my day in front of the computer early in the morning and after answering business correspondence and phones, I am tempted to give a look at social media, and voila! it is lunchtime. And the projects on the table start to accumulate and with it the pressure.

More Distraction


 I completed the design of the industrial catering plant and a proposal for a meat factory in Rishon. The owner asked me please help me, no other planning engineer is willing to take up the project. They all fear the Municipality, the Water Corporation, and the Health Ministry, and the other 17 regulators that have to approve the project. My "friendly inquisitor" Bluma retired and her sidekick Alexandra is in charge. Israeli bureaucracy is impossible, the Chinese manager of the Haifa port project (already finished) complained that it is worse than under Mao, when the Party obstructed all projects. 

I have much to do but I am distracted by twitter. One twitterist Awkwshira or whatever posted a beautiful picture (see here), after some work I found her regular look (she is tall). 

I also learned that the profession of shadchan (matchmaker) very much exists and it takes 1500 dollars to get a match ending in marriage. The HABAD religious organization offers 5000 dollars to anyone finding a husband to a girl of their community (if she is older than 25 years). The religious marry at 18 or 20, and at 25 they are practically unmarriable. That is the background of the twitter activity by these girls - they approach 25 and start having crying attacks and collapse in nervous breakdowns.  

All the above is totally irrelevant for me, it is a distraction, it makes me waste time. I have been married to the same woman forty plus years and my libido is irresponsive. My focus is on the priests of Har Bracha waiting for my plan. The original plan for the Yemeni Synagogue had been approved four years ago - the synagogue was duly built and the Yemeni settler public is using it daily -  but my plan was retroactively rejected because a recent topographic map showed that the original map was incorrect by a few centimeters or maybe, the topography has changed. It is a "Dilbert"-esque job that serves no useful objective. Yet I have to do a new plan, to cover the "Occupation" pedants' bureaucratic ass holes.

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 qíBeanstalks are ignited to boil beans,
豆在釜中泣。dòu zài fǔ zhōng qìIn 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 jíWhy 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".
