It occurred to me it was Thursday already and I saw that Trezor and Ledger reported an influx of sales over the past week. Likely due to yet another crypto exchange engaging in money laundering on behalf of the US Foreign Policy establishment going bankrupt. Not your keys not your crypto…
I can’t sit through another crypto piece again, and so…
This is my review of Singha:
I mentioned a cocktail last week involving beer and raw eggs. I found this human interest story in SCMP and a particular line in the story caught my eye:
Though many of Hoa’s customers have never heard of egg beer, he says he has won most over – especially those from beer-guzzling Germany – and sells up to 20 a day.
There was nothing else left to do, but get a couple eggs. To make it you will need:
- 2 Raw eggs
- 1 TBSP whipped butter
- 2 TBSP softened cream cheese
- 4 TBSP condensed milk
- 150mL of beer
You whisk the whole thing together, pour half a beer into it and stir with a spoon. Unfortunately, I was unable to obtain a Vietnamese beer. My choices of Asian beer were limited to Tsingtao and various brands from Japan but on the bottom shelf I found a Singha (Thailand). The recipe only calls for half a beer so I’ll kill two birds.
Hanoi Egg Beer is rather rich. It is essentially a beer based milkshake or maybe even a beer smoothie. In all it is more of dessert than anything, and it seemed like the character of the cocktail can be drastically changed simply by changing the beer used. Don’t worry I tried that too. It turns out it works pretty well with stouts, as the flavor profile and texture matches up very well. I will not do this again. Drinking two of these in one sitting…let’s just say I was full.
As for Singha? Its a Pilsner and it meets the expectations for the style. A good way to describe it is reminiscent of Warsteiner but finished more like a Dutch variety. This is not to imply damnation with faint praise, where there are an awful lot of bad examples of Pilsner on the market that have no incentive to improve because they have massive sales. Its not a bad example at all. Singha: 2.8/5
2 Raw eggs
1 TBSP whipped butter
2 TBSP softened cream cheese
4 TBSP condensed milk
150mL of beer
Whip eggs with milk. Place butter in hot frying pan. Add eggs and cream cheese to pan, stir gently to desired consistency.
Eat scrambled eggs, drink beer.

I’ll make sure my kids stay off your lawn.
Make certain they thread properly, too.
I don’t whip my scrambled eggs with milk. Just air. Cook in butter, scrambling constantly, take them off right before they’re done and let them finish cooking on their own. Cream cheese gets whipped and plopped on top.
I’m a heathen who prefers overcooked scrambled eggs, mainly because that’s what I was raised on.
What he said
That’s awesome! I’m sold.
Putting cream cheese in your scrambled eggs is muy bueno. Makes them smooth and creamy delicious. I got some cream cheese yesterday specifically for that purpose.
This is true.
Also, sour cream on your omelette.
Also sour cream in your mashed potatoes es muy bueno.
You keep a very tidy counter. And you always seem to have grape tomatoes.
The other side of the kitchen is a pile of junk mail I am not allowed to throw away.
You live at my house?
There’s a bakers rack under our mail pile. I think.
Those are prop tomatoes, not real ones.
Are grape tomatoes different from cherry tomatoes?
If you can’t tell them apart you’re a racist.
Yes.
A tad sweeter. However according to the Old Man tomatoes in AZ may as well be mildly chilled turds.
Also they shaped like grapes and not cherries.
Correct

How about you go fuck yourself.
FIFA president Gianni Infantino has lashed out at what he described as “hypocrisy” and “racism” from countries moralising about the Qatar World Cup and claimed Europe should be “apologising for the next 3,000 years” for past mistakes.
In an astonishing one-hour monologue that opened a Saturday news conference in Doha, Infantino, who will stand unopposed for reelection as FIFA president next March, took aim at critics of Qatar and FIFA by defending the treatment of migrant workers, saying LGBTQ+ people are welcome and insisting he is still in control of the tournament despite a last-minute stadium ban on alcohol.
“What is sad is that especially in the last weeks, we have been witnessing in some places a real lesson of moral, of double moral [standards],” Infantino said.
“We are told to make many lessons from some Europeans, from the Western world. I’m European. I think for what we Europeans have been doing for 3,000 years around the world, we should be apologising for the next 3,000 years before starting to give moral lessons to people.
I have an idea, everybody stop the incessant moralizing and virtue signaling and try to entertain me instead.
FIFA is an excellent example of what some sort of WEF-approved world government would look like.
Insanely corrupt yet totally unaccountable.
All of the best cocktail parties.
Try 40k years you prick. You bastards killed off the Neanderthals. You can never make up for that genocide.
We Neanderthals are still here.
Some of my favorite people are part Neanderthal. I’m a huge fan of the Basques.
The Homo sapiens did fuck some of the sexy ones before they killed the rest.
I’ve had a hypothesis related to that.
Within those remains we have the ‘classic neanderthal look’ appears rather late in the timeline. Also, several of those classic neanderthals who were genetically sequenced showed signs of inbreeding.
My theory is that when pre-modern humans arrived, some populations of neanderthal intermixed while others relocated. The intermixed groups continued to expand while the perifery neanderthals got pushed further afield and due to the population pressures began seeing issues with inbreeding, and developed the exaggerated ‘classic’ features before finally dying off.
That’s actually a pretty plausible theory. I’ve theorized that him sapiens were not necessarily smarter but that they were more ruthless and thus took the flint spears to the (unsexy) Neanderthals.
Killed off?
*Looks at genetic test*
7-10%. Huh.
STEVE SMITH SAY “I LEARNED IT FROM YOU, HOMO SAPIENS.”
Killed off the populations that had not already mixed in.
You must be descended from the sexy ones Suthen.
As both of my parents are Irish and that goes as far back as we know, I imagine. I have at least a couple percent DNA from them.
Neanderthals had their mitochondria completely overwritten out by Denisovans, and their Y chromosomes by H. Sapiens.

He could always take one for the team and throw himself off a bridge.
Seems like Islamic societies have a few things to apologize for. And perhaps not as much on the other side of the ledger.
Well, he isn’t entirely wrong. UEFA is a bunch of corrupt, hypocritical scumbags, and he should know since he is one of them.
Also it isn’t like anyone has NOT known, FOR THE LAST 10 FUCKING YEARS at a minumum, that Qatar is a conservative Muslim nation/society. Heterosexual PDAs are frowned upon, not just homosexual displays. You can shove that up your alphabet asshole; this is diversity on a global scale and you’re showing zero of the tolerance you demand they show to you. Which of course all of the whingeing morons don’t understand.
And then you have the US idiotically gaying up their crest to pwn the Muslims. 🙄
You want to get a skyscraper blown up? Because this is how you get buildings blown up.

An enormous explosion has hit one of Russia’s major gas pipelines, sending flames and smoke billowing into the sky above and prompting fears it was a retribution attack for Vladimir Putin’s continued invasion of Ukraine.
The fireball was visible for miles in every direction after hitting about 14 miles east of St Petersburg, the nation’s second largest city and Putin’s hometown.
One source said: ‘Everything is automatic there, and such explosions by themselves, without external influence, are impossible.’
The blast is believed to have hit the main gas pipeline belonging to Gazprom Transgaz SPB, and could have potentially impacted up to one million people.
That reminds me that I’m going to have to conquer Ingria in my ETW Russian campaign.

Narcissist fears she will cease to exist if no one is looking at her
Elon Musk joked that when Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s Twitter account stopped working on Wednesday it was due to “a naked abuse of power” by the platform’s new owner.
Newsmax presenter Benny Johnson shared a video on Twitter of the lawmaker’s Instagram story, in which she explained the moment she realized her Twitter mentions were “gone,” and that it was “literally like a blank screen.”
“So it turns out, we got under a certain little billionaire’s skin,” Ocasio-Cortez commented.
Musk was quick to react to Johnson’s post, quipping: “What can I say? It was a naked abuse of power.”
The existential agony of anonymity.
The horror.
The HORROR.
I can’t help but like the guy. “ Me today, you tomorrow” in action, AOC.
Narcissist hell – NO ONE’s TALKING ABOUT ME.
Other public figures including the author Stephen King have also criticized his plan. Some are concerned that the move risks allowing fake accounts to pose as public figures and spread misinformation.
Only authentic public figures should be allowed to spread disinfo.

Oh no. Anyway…
You gonna watch the final F1 tomorrow slum? I’ve found myself enjoying watching qualifying almost as much as the races this year. Last week’s one was one of the highlights, but then the São Paulo track is a great one so it usually makes an exciting race. How about the Verstappen drama? He comes across as a giant prick which is no surprise really. But I wonder if there wasn’t something about Perez crashing intentionally in Monaco? That would certainly change my outlook on it.
Yep, though I’ll watch it delayed – surprise party tonight, so I’m unlikely to be ready for an 8AM race.
Do you have the F1TV subscription? I’ve really been enjoying the Jolyon Palmer analysis show; he went back to the Monaco footage and it looks like there may be something to it – Perez hit the throttle and didn’t try to steer into the spin at all, as you’d expect. So… I dunno. I assume it’s not just Max being petulant.
Yeah I ditched cable tv a couple years back so last year and this one I sprung for the F1TV package. It’s pretty darn good. I like being able to switch between driver cams and then back to the broadcast. Yup, Joylon provides some good analysis. Ive watched all the classic race ones he’s done with different drivers, those are super. Looking forward to more of them. I almost always watch both quali and the race later in the day. We try and keep the kids off their devices for most of the daytime during the weekend and release them back about 5 o clock, so that’s usually when I watch.

Just got out of a funeral. Nobody’s saying how she died but I have a hypothesis. She was 1 year older than I. I didn’t know her all that well but her husband and I bonded over a shared previous employer and my crisis of faith, so my husband and I went.
No tears until “Jesu Joy of Man’s Desiring” played by a chamber quartet. Some years ago a friend and her daughter played “O Come O Come Emmanuel” with violin and cello, and I just sobbed. I don’t know what it is about music that gets me in the gut.
Sorry to hear, Mojeaux.
I hope her and her family are at peace.
I am sorry to hear that Mojeaux.
Music seems to have a way of burrowing down deep into memory, so something that sounds familiar or similar drags the associated memories along with it on its way back to the surface.
So sorry about the gut punch. 😢
I’m good at a military funeral until TAPS are played. It’s OK to cry, choke or show emotion at a funeral, it proves you’re human and care about the deceased and his/her family.
Have some cheerful Christmas music
Seriously, my condolences.
Sorry Mojo. Music does bring about an emotional response if you are trying to keep it down.
Thanks, all. I mean, I wasn’t that close to her but she tried to do something nice for me once that was both illegal and unethical and against my wishes, but she was a nice lady who didn’t gossip (much) (her kind deed involved HIPAA). However, I do seriously feel for the husband. Left behind 3 kids, 2 of whom are on their own, but the youngest is a 19yo with severe Down syndrome, so single dadhood forever. Dude’s an awesome human being. He was wrecked, as one would be. Just passed their 33rd anniversary, too.
I really don’t know what I would do if my husband kicked it before we were empty nesters.
Propaganda works.
Uptick on mask wearers at Wegmans today.

To put it in terms that people bad at math can maybe understand: the holes are about 100 time bigger in cross section than the stuff it is trying to stop. It’s like trying to stop house flies from entering your house by replacing the existing screens with chicken wire where the holes are three to four inches wide.

Re: Juris
Just in the last decade or so didn’t Qutar pass a law that allowed white womez to be held as sex slaves?
Could be, I don’t concern myself with that little speck of the planet.
Most of the Gulf state countries made slavery illegal in the 1950’s or 60’s. Mauritania did so in the 80’s. Less than 10% of the Atlantic slave trade went to the United States, most to the Caribbean and Brazil. These are facts many here would know, but I’d bet fewer than 5% of Americans would.
In large part, Americans raised their own slaves. They weren’t worked to death like in Caribbean or South American countries, so they had an opportunity to procreate.
And don’t forget that a lot of those slaver ship captains were pious Yankees.
The US has an enormous air base within its borders so if that’s true they wouldn’t allow anyone off base.
They just saw a way to send a giant Fuck You to people they hated and distrusted more than Trump.

To observe Biden at work is to see a leader tap a storehouse of knowledge built up over a half century in public office as he draws on deep personal relationships at home and abroad, his mastery of policy and his familiarity with how Washington works or doesn’t. In short, the wisdom of the aged.
“There is something to be said for experience,” said Dartmouth College historian Matt Delmont as he noted the dozens of global leaders in their 80s.
But to observe Biden is also to see him walk now often with a halting gait, in contrast to his trotting on stage on election night 2020.
His asshole still tastes like strawberry ice cream, and that’s what matters.
“Something to be said for experience”
Take that, Former President Cartoon Villain!
Oh yes. I can say something about political experience. It is negatively proportional to life, liberty and the ownership of property by the masses.
I thought that was the Bee at first, it was really good.
1 year of experience 50 times does not equate to a ‘storehouse of knowledge.’
More like a whorehouse of knowledge. He’s mastered screwing everyone.
You know what else is really good on scrambled AIGS?

Shush, you.
Fried egg on white bread with Miracle Whip and yellow mustard. Nom nom nom.
Both of you are dead to me. Miracle Whip is an abomination- at least they used to be (kinda) honest when the label said “salad dressing”.
Miracle Whip is an attempt by the dark side to make us pay for our collective sins, no doubt emulsified in the sweaty heat of Satan’s asshole.
Or as an ex of mine would say “oh, you me Devil’s jizz?”
G_d I miss her sometimes.
*mean
Tres is correct about mayo, especially Miracle Whip. Hellmans or GTFO, with minor exceptions for emergencies.
I’m not even going to get into the glories of Spin Blend on bologna.
A BBQ place down here has smoked bologna. Someday I must try it.
Not Best Food’s?
Kraft mayo is an acceptable substitute in time of crisis; Kroger brand isn’t far behind.
After that, mustard mixed with tears and saliva.

I’m cooking a Turkey 🇹🇷 And Mrs. time is making sweet potato tatter tots. We have three couples coming over for a Friends giving.
Drinking a decent margarita made with crand berry, grand mariner, and cider rimmed with cinnamon sugar.
Having a good laugh at the ND-BC snowbowl.
Three couples, eh?
“Hey, why isn’t there any punch in the punch bowl?”
That’s not margarita. It may be good (actually, sounds like it’s worth a go), but “margarita” doesn’t mean “tequila plus, well, anything”.
They want you to call it a Türkiye now. Seriously.
Just had a Taco Bell encherito. I don’t think it’s the same one from my childhood. Certainly I think it’s smaller. I will not be repeating the experience.
