Bad, very bad!
Holy poo poo, they caught the Nigerian Prince email scam guy. Or one of them.

67 year old dude in Louisiana, but apparently he did actually wire money to co-conspirators in Nigeria.

quote:

Police say 67-year-old Michael Neu, who lives outside New Orleans, served as a middle man in hundreds of fraudulent financial transactions and wired money to co-conspirators in Nigeria. Neu has been charged with 269 counts of wire fraud and money laundering after an 18-month investigation, the Slidell Police Department said Thursday.

I'm sick. probably flu-like virus. 101.8 fever, bad cough, bad aches, headache bad enough to make me nauseous. finally got some acetaminophen to stay down.

I feel like if you get sick while on vacation, you should get your vacation days back, right?

for cooking in addition to a good knife I suggest a cast iron pan, a non-stick frying pan, a saucepan, and a big stock pot. I do 90% of my cooking with those.

to add to this, don’t be afraid to go cheap on the non-stick frying pan. the teflon will wear down and you will toss need to replace it. don’t buy all-clad non-stick (or all-clad at all if you’re just starting out).

learn how to cook meat and the different heats and times for stuff like chicken breasts, thighs, flank steak, roasts (get a thermometer too, it doesn't have to be a thermopen).

The one piece of advice I gleaned from all of Emeril's BAM! dumb bullshit was he gestured to the stovetop and told the audience, "this thing has temperature dials for a reason. Learn to use them!"

Another good thing to watch is I think Gordon Ramsay's old The F Word cooking segments are on YouTube.

This is also very good information. Most people learning to cook have the temps way to high, get used to cooking low and slow to get meats to cook evenly.

Another thing to take note of is the smell of foods when they are done cooking. You will notice after a few weeks if you have something in the oven or simmering you can start to know when something is done just by the smell.

I went to Microcenter today to get a gift card for my Brothers birthday. I walked by a person saying, "When bitcoin goes down, people panic and sell. My friend calls them 'idiots.' So the idiots leave and then you get to buy their coins for less and make more money!"

I cannot wait for bitcoin to crash.

This is the first New Year's in a while where I'm not travelling or having just got back from travelling, and I'm probably going to be sitting at home with my dog playing video games. Might walk him by the bars around here so he can get some love but it's gonna be pretty drat cold and I doubt he'll want to walk that far.

Bottle service on a yacht tonight, fellas. Gonna be a hell of a way to ring in the new year. Still deciding on the last meal though. I know we will inevitably default to pizza while the ladies get ready in the hotel but I'm thinking Japanese or Vietnamese. At least we have brunch reservations for the morning!

I hope y'all have a good start to your new year. We got a Wolf Moon on Jan 1 so if it looks like a 3 day long full moon, now you know why. Please enjoy this factoid!

I can't even play Arcanum, it's so dated, and a lot of the writing in Vampire is dated and hilarious in the unintended way but it fits the super tryhardy nature of White Wolf so I let it slide.
