Íslenska, eins og hún er sögð.

*facepalm*

"Það eru ekki komn­ar mæl­ing­ar á þetta en við erum ekki að tala um ein­hverja machete eða eitt­hvað svo­leiðis,“ seg­ir lög­regl­an á höfuðborg­ar­svæðinu í sam­tali við mbl.is um sveðjuna sem að maður klædd­ur í stungu­vesti labbaði með inn á veit­ingastað í miðbæn­um rétt eft­ir miðnætti í nótt.

Machete er enska orðið yfir stóra sveðju..."

Og það batnar:

"Lög­regl­an seg­ir að þótt að sveðjan hafi ekki verið á stærð við machete-sveðju..."

Sveðjan var á stærð við sveðju.  Þetta var svona sveðju sveðja.  Hún var í laginu eins og hún sjálf.

"...þá hafi hún samt verið tals­vert stærri en hinn hefðbundni hníf­ur. „Þetta er al­veg stærra held­ur en venju­leg­ur heim­il­is­hníf­ur."

Var þetta sveðja eða ekki?

Gott hefði verið að fá mynd, með einn svona Three Stars eldspýtustokk til samanburðar, eða eitthvað.

Skiftir svosem ekki máli.  Vonum að þessi ágæti maður þurfi ekki að nota sveðjuna sína í bráð.

Þetta minnir mig á nafngiftina "La brea tarpits."  La brea = tjörupyttur, tar-pit = tjörupyttur, La brea tar-pits = tjörupyttirnir tjörupyttirnir.

Mario Draghi hent út

"Italian Prime Minister Mario Draghi is out. He tendered his resignation to President Sergio Mattarella. Mattarella is refusing for now. There will be another confidence vote.

Italy is woefully unprepared for this winter as gas storage is well below levels necessary to get through the winter. The problem is Italy and the EU have been lying publicly about it. According to EU data Italy’s gas system is over 65% full, with over 126 TWhrs available, in line with other major nations, like Germany.

Given how hated Draghi is in Italy, there is no way for him to continue given what we know now. Any further resistance by Mattarella will ensure the lot of them get lynched publicly."

Það var nú ágætt.

Tesla segir hvenær það er til nóg rafmagn í heiminum

"Tesla is asking drivers of its electric cars to avoid charging during Texas' peak energy consumption hours to prevent strain on the Lone Star State's power grid.

Even as efforts have been made to make  changes to ERCOT's power grid, use of its electricity delivery infrastructure has fallen behind the summer energy demands. In the face of a heatwave ERCOT has called on residents to conserve electricity between the times of 2pm and 8pm."

Það kom á daginn að græn orka annar ekki eftirspurn.

"But the punchline is when DB contemplates possible "substitution for gas" by other energy sources - the bank lists hard coal and lignite in the power sector, as for private households, it predicts that "wood will be used for heating purposes where possible," while industries will switch to oil derivatives, all of which contributes to lower gas demand."

Mjög lífvænlegt veður í Englandi

"Temperatures will climb over the weekend, and the Met Office has issued an unprecedented red warning for the south of England on Monday and Tuesday , and an amber warning for heat covering much of England and Wales from Sunday until Tuesday.

Climate researches have said the country could see as many as 2,000 deaths from just one period of heat. Two lesser heatwaves last year resulted in an estimated 1,600 excess deaths, according to official figures."

Veðurfræðingar hafa áhyggjur sem eiga ekki við nein rök að styðjast.  Hiti er ekki vandamál, þess vegna er fleira fólk (og annað lífríki) við miðbaug en við pólana.

"This is a revised, updated version of a post originally written on April 21, 2015.

UCLA Law Professor Eugene Volokh wrote in the Washington Post on April 20, 2015: “Have civilians with permitted concealed handguns stopped such mass shootings before?”  We provided Volokh with a list of such cases, which he used.

Below, we have collected news stories on more cases of permit holders stopping mass public shootings with their handguns (we separately collect cases where concealed handguns are used to stop other crimes).  There is no reason to believe that this list is comprehensive, given how little media coverage is devoted to these heroic acts.  In addition, we make no attempt here to list here the vast number of defensive gun uses in general that are reported daily in the US."

"The longer answer: that the heads of their agencies are using weak or flawed data to make critically important public health decisions. That such decisions are being driven by what’s politically palatable to people in Washington or to the Biden administration. And that they have a myopic focus on one virus instead of overall health."

Mead also notes that woke Western banks are pissing off 'elites and the public at large' in developing countries over blocking financing for fossil-fuel extraction as part of their virtue-signaling ESG agenda."

Chinese imports of energy products and agricultural goods have grown rapidly, data shows. Over the first six months of 2022, China’s total imports of crude oil, natural gas and coal, and other energy products from other BRICS countries reached 298.98 billion yuan ($45 billion), an increase of 53.3%. Imports of agricultural products by the country rose 15.6% to 185.46 billion yuan ($28 billion)."

And all this power in the palm of Putin's hand, almost as if he knew precisely how much leverage he had back in February while Europe was - as always - completely clueless."

"Telford & Wrekin Council agreed to commission an independent inquiry into child sexual exploitation within the Borough. It appointed the law firm Eversheds Sutherland (International) LLP as the Commissioning Body for the Inquiry. 

The purpose of the Inquiry was to fully investigate and establish the facts of child sexual exploitation in Telford & Wrekin, to identify if, and where, public, and other, services had failed and where possible, to establish who was accountable for any failure and to make recommendations for the future.

For further information about the Inquiry please see about us."

Sarmat bomba

"“The world’s most powerful global-range nuclear-tipped missile is being prepared for new tests and serial production,” Rogozin wrote on Telegram."

Hvað er þetta?

"The Sarmat is a three-stage, liquid-fueled missile with a range of 18,000 km and a launch weight of 208.1 metric tons. The missile is 35.3 meters long and 3 meters in diameter. Designated a “heavy” ICBM, the Sarmat can carry a 10 ton payload and can load a wide variety of warhead options. According to Russian media, Sarmat can reportedly load up to 10 large warheads, 16 smaller ones, a combination of warheads and countermeasures, or hypersonic boost-glide vehicles.

The latest Russian weapons are such that just one missile capable of carrying 16 independent warheads with a total yield of about 8.8 megatons will be enough to in order to destroy a country the size of France."

... ok.

"On Monday, the city of New York launched a new public service announcement (PSA) that provides guidelines about what residents should do in the event of a nuclear attack.

Unfortunately, New Yorkers who watch the PSA will likely be severely ill-prepared should a nuclear weapon detonate in their vicinity, as the video provides little in the way of specifics or useful information. Instead, the short clip instructs citizens to follow a rudimentary 3 step plan that leaves them completely reliant on the powers that be to come to the rescue."

Og þannig fór um sjóferð þá:

"BERLIN, July 11 (Reuters) - Germany's cabinet is set to decide on Wednesday steps to reactivate coal-fired power plants in order to reduce gas consumption, economy ministry sources said on Monday, as Berlin braces for a possible extended outage of Russian gas supplies."

On April 1 — the same day he gave himself a raise — Trudeau decided to go ahead and jack up the carbon tax by an additional 25%, consequently increasing the price of practically everything."

Israel doesn’t have a high rate of full vaccination (66%), but the country eagerly embraced all proposed boosters: four. Despite all that, Israel experienced the highest COVID-19 death rate on record this year.

All Scandinavian countries, except Sweden, recently got obliterated by COVID-19. Finland, Denmark, Iceland and Norway each documented their highest death rates, some beating their records multiple times in the last few weeks."
