Godt poeng. Da er det vel berre kjederøyking og tung drikking igjen på tiltakslista.

Eg får stadig høyre at eg ser yngre ut enn dei 31 åra mine. Det er ikkje berre dumt det, men snart gror eg eit svært profetskjegg på rein trass og fargar det grått.

Frå ei bokmelding i Stavanger Aftenblad: Plottet i boka, om eg skal vera snill og kalle det eit plott, er at redaktøren av boka, Fjågesund, får tilsendt ein rapport skriven av NN, ein innbyggjar på planeten Gliese 12b. NN har besøkt jorda og skal nå rapportera tilbake om kva hen har observert. Heile første del av boka består av denne rapporten.

Først tenkte eg at det var litt interessant å sjå oss sjølv utanfrå. Men etter kvart som eg fortsette å lesa «rapporten», oppdaga eg at han handla om ein ting: kor moralsk forkasteleg landbruket er. Det er rett og slett 180 sider som handlar om moderne husdyrhald, og det er på ingen måte skrive i romanform.

Fjågesund prøver forsøksvis å minna oss om at dette er frå ein annan planet gjennom å forklara ord som «tog» og «lastebil», men til og med dette glipp når han på side 100 refererer til NRK og Dagsrevyen utan forklaring. Enten har Gliese 12b sine innbyggjarar veldig god kjennskap til Nina Owing, eller så er det rett og slett ei veldig lite gjennomført bok.

Personleg har eg sans for premisset om utanomjordiske sivilisasjonar som primært er bygde opp rundt dyrking av Nina Owing.

Det er eit samarbeidsprosjekt med Finska kyrkan i Norge, men dei er òg lutherske. Veit ikkje om det meir utbreidd i Sverige.

Det er god utsikt til Friggfeltet frå MF-biblioteket. Dessverre speler ikkje Frigg heimekampane sine der i år, men kanskje eg får med meg ein Fagerborg 2-kamp i 7. divisjon i løpet av våren.

Tviler på at tilkallingsvikarane er høgt nok opp på prioriteringslista deira. For dei med eit regulært tilsettingsforhold er det betre vilkår, og betalinga for overtid over 100% er veldig god (derfor er det knapt i bruk og skulen tvingar dei med overtid til å avspasere).

Nokre vikaropplegg eg får er slik:
«Elevane skal lesa side 272-278 i læreboka og gjera oppgåve 3 på side 279.»
Andre opplegg er meir komplekse, samtidig som dei ber preg av å ha byrja livet sitt som lærarens notat til seg sjølv. Det krev eit visst tolkingsarbeid.

Greitt nok at det er 80% lønn for vikartimar der eg får eit ferdig opplegg, men eg tykkjer det er litt snikete at det òg er 80% lønn for vikartimar der eg må planlegge opplegg sjølv, så lenge vikarperioden er på under tre veker.

Die AfD hat in nicht wenigen Wahlbezirken die meisten Stimmen geholt, mit zum Teil über 30%. Dies wäre nun der Zeitpunkt, endlich zu verstehen, dass Rechtsextremismus kein rein ostdeutsches Phänomen ist, sondern die Entwicklung mit Zeitverzögerung und nuanciert (fast) überall ähnlich eintritt #ltwbw

Eg har fått ein time mellom 7 og 8 på kvardagsmorgnane der eg må sitta og vente på telefon frå vikarinnkallaren. Hittil har eg berre sete i halvsøvne på sofaen og scrolla, men no vil eg finne ein betre morgonrutine: Kanskje koke kaffi i den mikroskopiske mokkakanna mi, bla i gamle Dag og Tid.

Dersom du skal velte eit regime, er det best om opposisjonen alt kontrollerer område dei kan operere frå. Eller gå inn med bakkestyrker sjølv.

Det USA og Israel gjer no er å forsøke å terrorbombe den iranske befolkninga til å gjera opprør mot ein revolusjonsgarde som framleis er væpna til tennene.

Though it is day, the sun cannot be seen in Tehran today because of all the smoke following the US and Israel bombing Tehran's oil refineries. People on the ground describe it as armageddon.

History will not forgive Reza Pahlavi, Masih Alinejad, Nazanin Boniadi, and all other "leaders" who tricked Iranians into thinking this war would set them free.

About 100 million people live in the countries belonging to the Gulf Cooperation Council — Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Bahrain, Qatar, the United Arab Emirates and Oman — all now under Iranian attack. Kuwait, Qatar and the UAE are, for all practical purposes, completely dependent on the desalination plants, particularly for metropolises such as Dubai. Saudi Arabia, and especially its capital, Riyadh, also relies heavily on them.

Under international law, the desalination plants are protected. But I have seen enough Middle Eastern wars to know the weight of the Geneva Conventions when missiles and bombs start flying. And they are: Iran has attacked a power station in Fujairah, UAE that keeps one of the world’s largest desalination plants running. In Kuwait, debris from a drone interception caused a fire in one of the country’s plants.
The risk is enormous. Take the Jubail desalination plant, located on the Persian Gulf coast of Saudi Arabia. It supplies Riyadh, via a roughly 500-kilometer-long pipeline system, with more than 90% of its drinking water. “Riyadh would have to evacuate within a week if the plant, its pipelines, or associated power infrastructure were seriously damaged or destroyed,” according to a 2008 memo from the US embassy in the kingdom released by Wikileaks. “The current structure of the Saudi government could not exist without the Jubail desalinization plant,” the memo stated.

Since the cable became public, the Saudis have reinforced their water network. Other countries have also built up redundancy. Still, all the water plants are equally vulnerable — and all of them are within range of the Iranian missiles. The good news is that water is so strategic — and so human — that any Iranian direct attack on them would be consider…

For those who can't bypass the paywall, the Obama administration, CIA determined that a single strike on a single Saudi water desalination plant would require evacuation of Riyadh and collapse its government.

The Saudis have beefed up their infrastructure since, but I would rather not find out.

Iran's parliament speaker said Saturday that the attack on a freshwater desalination plant on Qeshm Island was carried out with support from one of the airbases in a southern neighboring country.
He did not name the country. "The crime will receive a proportionate response," he said.

The US doesn’t seem to understand how many targets there are for Iran in the Gulf.

Attacking the desalination plant in Iran is monstrous in itself as so many people depend on them, but it also opens up the way for Iran to target the Gulf’s desalination plants, which would also be monstrous
