Updated: toxicology reports have all come back negative for anything.
I don't have a quality source because I don't know how to search for French stories but there was some English coverage on a podcast.
If anyone has a quality report showing the toxicology results or the outcomes or updates on any of the arrests I'd love to see them.
Two wallets. 10k BTC each. These wallets were created back when BTC was 78¢. When you spend $10k the IRS might ask questions. If you are "structuring" correctly you avoid spending $9,999 and $1 within a short time span or even in the same reporting period. 10k BTC back then was something you could buy that looked like it wasn't $10k but was really close. Spend it twice in two different wallets and if there are enough other transactions no one will notice.
Anytime you see a transaction or set of transactions that add up to or are just shy of 10k USD, BTC or pretty much anything, there should be a little bell that dings in your head and causes you to think "this person is clearly thinking about US tax reporting laws and trying to dodge them."
Who had all that money back in 2011 that decided that now was the time to tap those wallets that are worth a billion each? Obviously someone that hasn't needed the money until now. Someone that is planning on spending up to 2 billion. But not right away because if you try to sell 20k BTC in a hurry it will draw attention and potentially destabilize the currency. But you could sell it all off over the next year or longer without flooding the market.
Who wants to spend up to $2 billion in the next year? What could you buy with that kind of money? Elon musk spent ~$250 million getting Trump elected. That's just an eighth of $2B. You could buy a lot of super PAC power with $2B. You could bankroll the primarying of every Republican that voted for OBBB. Weird that these wallets were dusted off so close to Elon saying he would primary anyone that voted for OBBB, and he has a strong affinity for crypto, and he had enough money in 2011 to buy that much BCT on a whim, and that he wouldn't have had to touch it to pay other bills as BTC went from 78¢ to more than $100,000 over the last 14 years.
I wonder who these wallets belong to and what they will be used for?
This is what conspiracy thinking looks like. It's me. I'm the one conspiracy thinking.
It is squash but squish is more fun to say.
It's a cutesy name that isn't boring
Bread home made. Cheese is some home smoked halloumi. Squish is home grown ass and baked with some home made herbs de provence except I didn't have lavender flowers.
Cost per person: $1 because at this point homegrown squish is basically free and the cheese was on clearance. If you have the ability to cold smoke cheese you never pass up clearance cheese.
We ended up with a lot of free romaine today. Too much. Like an impossible amount. So we gave some to our birds and delivered some to three other people with livestock because it was a crazy amount.
I took some and some kitchen leftovers and made salad. You can't see the hard boiled sliced duck eggs under the feta which is under the bacon and croutons. Because I suck at plating.
Cost per person: $4.50, mostly because of bacon and feta. Can you order this anywhere? Yes but no.
I don't trust neat lasagna
If you want to run with the herd turn to page 6.
If you want to ride back to the village turn to page 21.
I'm assuming you bought this instead of cooked it because most of us don't stock styrofoam containers.
Can you tell us where you got it?

Just leaving this here later.
Took me a moment to realize you weren't talking about Arthur Miller. "Well duh. That doesn't even sound like Death of a Salesman and he is dead. Oh. Wait. Stephan Miller, Nazi sympathizer."
Where he puts his name and title in there different ways in case someone was unclear who this insecure narcissist is? That signature block?
Smoked sausage sandwiches with provolone. Escabeche and pickled sweet peppers from last year when a neighbor gave me pounds of surplus peppers.
Cost per person: $6.03 not including any mustard or picked peppers. But, as you can see, this is an unreasonable serving size. One sausage per person with the commercial pasta salad would be $3.34 Can you get this anywhere? Maybe?
Cost per person $1
I pickled/canned about four pounds each of jalapenos and carrots. But I had some peppers left over. Also I had shredded cheese leftover from yesterday's burritos, and half a pound of bacon from yesterday's dinner.
Well that sounds like the start of a wonderful dinner. Poppers would have been too much work. I have a bag of potatoes... Oh. Let's do this. Jalapeno bacon potatoes au gratin.
Cost for pickled peppers: $1.30 per pint Cost per person for dinner: $3.40 (realistically I ate two full servings so this should really be $1.70 each for four people.)
The thing I made yesterday was escabeche. It is rich and deep in flavors. I made sure to properly clean out the jalapenos so there is no heat here, just flavor. The acid from the apple cider vinegar cuts the eggs and potatoes perfectly.
Cost per person: $4.50.
Meal prep. Except it's snack prep. I eat way too many Walmart mini microwave burritos. The 4 oz ones that come in a $4 pack of eight. Basically 11.9¢ per ounce
It's hard to make an exact clone at home because making tiny burritos is difficult due to the urge to over fill. These are larger so one instead of two for a snack. These aren't as cheap. 100 ounces of ingredients for $17.38 not including the seasoning. So let's say 19¢ per ounce but are more flavorful (homemade taco seasoning), better texture because they aren't 50% tortilla and a whole lot healthier.
So it's all trade offs. But the results are worth it.
These go into the chest freezer and then get bagged.
I've been on a quest to make better pizza. Now that I've got a happy crust I'm able to work on other parts. I got new pans so I can make two at a time. Which means I can have different toppings that cook at different times from my wife's toppings.
Her: under the cheese is banana peppers and olives. On top is pepperoni. Me: tomato, onion and sardines
This is part of my plan to be able use leftovers for fried rice and pizza. But toppings are insanely cheap. It's hard to put more than a dollar in toppings on a pizza unless you are buying really premium stuff.
Cost per person for no toppings besides cheese: $2.50. officially cheaper than mid grade freezer pizza. Can you order this anywhere? It's pizza
Handling some of my basil surplus before it bolts. A bit of basil, some 190 proof everclear that someone donated. This will sit in a dark space for a few months. Basil lemonade is definitely on the menu. Maybe a vodka sauce for pasta.
Home grown squish and wings. Dip is a mix of yogurt, sour cream and feta.
Cool. I should go to West Java
