Breaking Bad was probably where I really understood it best.
They actually show that clip in law school to explain money laundering.
I once went to a salon that obviously only existed for money laundering. Pretty big space with multiple chairs but only one woman working there (and her dog) and no clients. Open at odd hours. Clearly not making enough money to stay open but it did.
I got to pet one of my two favorite neighborhood dogs this morning! This is a fairly regular occurrence as the family drops off their daughter at the Montessori around the corner about the time I'm getting coffee, but nonetheless I get a big dopamine hit every time I see his wiggly doodle dog self.
Theo is a good boy and I'm not shy about telling him that.

I think most big city neighborhoods have at least one of these. Where I used to live in Brooklyn it was a Mexican restaurant that everyone knew not to go into for food. (If you, a newbie to the neighborhood, strolled in and tried to order something, they might serve you but it was VERY obvious they weren't expecting anyone to treat this establishment like a real restaurant.)
I was in an AI training session this morning and the tool we were using for the session was aggressively Ted Lasso themed. Sadly there was no option to switch the agentic personality from Coach Lasso to Coach Kent (or Chilton).
This week's onerous tasks completed! Tuesday, root canal. Wednesday, optometrist. Today, 'flu and Covid (Pfizer) immunizations.
Therefore I am treating myself to Chinese takeout for lunch today.
dcp, that's a lot of Care and Maintenance of the Human Shell. You definitely deserve Chinese takeout!
Go dcp! Enjoy your well-earned treat!
I have a mysterious luncheon today. I got an invitation but no explanation of where it will be or what it's for, but it appears to be everyone in the "wing" we just moved to, so maybe it's about that? I just hope there will in fact be food because I didn't bring anything for lunch.
Getting my Hep B second dose and RSV vax after work, then I think I am done with getting jabbed until towards the end of November when I can get the new COVID. CVS keeps coming up with new things I maybe should get, so I am going to try to get pneumonia then as well, why not?
I'm truly being a nerd. I'm 3D printing extra modules for my desk organizer system.
Our money laundering place in Dallas was an Ethiopian restaurant that never had anyone in it.
Not "our" place. The place. You know.
The movement away from cash transactions must have made that whole system harder to work.

That's where Russia steps in and puts Donald Trump to work.
I thought bitcoin was supposed to be good for that but then I heard about those people who were using real estate to launder bitcoin and nothing makes any sense
