- This is awesome: https://neal.fun/wonders-of-street-view/
- Lots of private work.
- Clinched 1st in challenge pool ($90) and 2nd in sbsc ($285).
- Filled 3 buckets RODI. Change tomorrow morning before LNY.
- Ordered new tropic marin salt. 200G synbiotic and 200G proreef. Both from saltwateraquarium, who had the biggest buckets in stock. $260 all-in.
- Amazon Fresh increasing the minimum-for-free-shipping from $35 to $150. Should be fine, I hit that with my usual smoothie order.
- A “qualified buyer” can mean a few things. Can mean you’re pre-approved for a mortgage. In the loan space, generally means that you meet certain criteria above the risk floor. “Qualified purchaser” in the investment space means you have 5M in assets, slightly above accredited investor.
- NAV loans.
- Credit/debt/fixed income funds.
- 2 and 20 common among equity funds, VCs, and hedge funds. 2% (of AUM) for ops / management. 20% (of profit) for performance incentive / alignment. Both annual.
- Duck.
- Went to chinatown, bought 6 ducks. Avg ~$5/lb, and ~5lb/duck.
- Pekin duck is usually less gamey than other ducks (mallard etc). Better flavor.
- Ducks have a much lower chance of carrying salmonella than other poultry. Both (1) for biological/immunity reasons and (2) they’re not farmed like chickens, which incubates stuff like that.
- Separated the breasts and the legs from the carcass. With the remainder, removed meat/skin/fat (for rendered fat) and everything else (bones/organs/etc) for stock.
- Scored/drybrined the breasts and left uncovered in fridge overnight to deverlop the pellicle.
- Prepared the rub for the legs (confit) with onions, shallots, garlic, and szechuan pepper. Applied and marinated overnight (covered for these).
- Will render the fat, make the stock, make the breast dry rub, bake the duck confit, and sear the breasts tomorrow.
