  1. So much this. Pics aren't loading.
  2. Found this URL for Amex pre-sale, but content isn't loading yet. https://global.americanexpress.com/entertainment/details?event&name=FORMULA 1 LAS VEGAS GRAND PRIX 2023&source=GEM&type=ADDITIONAL_PRESALE&start_date=2023-11-16
  3. Rep for oven temp.
  4. You are fat. I have never had a button come off, and I am not fat.
  5. The club access is the value, a regular Admirals Club membership costs that much alone. It really only makes sense if you fly AA a lot.
  6. Hey man, the sign said drive-through!
  7. Upside, hotter milfs than most bars?
  8. Correct, "old Tsukiji" is gone, cleaned up and made into a sanitized version of a seafood market. Still a place to go for tourists to eat good seafood, and many of the retail-oriented vendors did stay, but the feeling is much different as it is no longer the wholesale hub with people actually doing their seafood business (vs catering to tourists and visitors). The new market is at Toyosu and is also sanitized and much more commercial feeling - enclosed instead of open-air, much larger regimented spaces, etc. Doesn't mean don't go, it's still an incredible experience for anyone who hasn't done it. https://www.forbes.com/sites/akikokatayama/2019/02/25/the-world-biggest-fish-market-tsukiji-moved-to-toyosu-how-is-the-new-market-doing/?

  9. This thread has never regained it's mojo from when RCRanger was leading us to victory after victory.
  10. I burst out laughing at this description. How the hell do you pitch that to a production company??
  11. This. Not in OG, in a bunch of industries, it is quite common that companies have internal requirements to post jobs for X days etc. But they already had their candidate chosen before they posted anything. The posting will stay active for however many days to satisfy their internal posting requirement.
  12. Pizza Studio Tamaki, now 2 locations in Tokyo. Listed into Michelin guide only 2yr after opening. Make a reservation well in advance. https://www.instagram.com/pizzastudiotamaki/?hl=en https://www.eater.com/2017/2/21/14670944/best-pizza-tokyo-guide https://www.andyhayler.com/restaurant/pizza-studio-tamaki

    I was told there would be no math.
  14. In fun news, Tag Heuer x Mario Kart. I find this hilarious and thought it was April Fools at first. I love the game and I love them leaning into the quirk - the date wheel simulating the random slot machine powerup spin in game is perfect. https://www.tagheuer.com/us/en/new-tag-heuer-mario-kart-watches-limited-edition/mariokart.html https://www.hodinkee.com/articles/here-we-go-tag-heuer-floors-it-with-two-mario-kart-formula-1-les-including-a-super-mario-tourbillon The date wheel has the power star, purple shell, banana, and mushroom on a few dates, so they "spin" by as the days pass. Rotor is karts. They even made one a tourbillon (wtf lol). Chrono is 4.3k, tourbillon is 25.6k (cough). Limited to 3000pc and 250pc respectively.
  15. Stupid shit that husbands do. Trims her bush, husband complains anyway.
  16. Basically, yes. And for all the talk about China taking Taiwan to get chipmaking, they'd get the fabs but wouldn't get working processes and equipment, and support staff would all be yanked overnight just like in China. Best case at that point is multiple years to get back to production, and probably never achieving yields like now. It isn't that easy. There's a reason every equipment maker has full time staff positioned in every fab, support is constant. They really need to take Taiwan via soft power and leave the country and specifically mfg infrastructure operating for it to be of tactical value.
  17. I really enjoyed Craig Ferguson, wish he'd gotten more traction.
  18. I thought Caffeine Free on a soda can meant you got some free caffeine, but I could never figure out where it was in the package or how you were supposed to request it.
  19. I thought married people had more sex.
  20. Had a craving for lunch meat-style roast beef. Cheap Aussie picanha, trimmed, dry brine, smoked, seared, chilled then sliced. Hit the spot, tasty and tender, perfect cold on a sandwich.
  21. Your wife is right. Car range is calculated based on a short-term rolling average MPG, not on the lifetime of car. Your driving habits most definitely will change that number, usually fairly quickly (typical rolling average is double digit miles).
  22. Nothing you asked for, and it isn't even Scottsdale, but Wed/Sat go to Chicago Hamburger Co. for a fantastic bratwurst. Every other day go for a burger or for a hot dog. Peanut butter shake. Amazing fries, sprinkle some Cajun in your ketchup to dip the fries. Can't recommend this place enough. I go nearly every Sat when I'm in town, and have been going for about 16 years. (And I don't live anywhere near!) https://goo.gl/maps/eWDVFwZWVBFxxBKd9 If you want to visit an old Phoenix icon, Bobby-Q's. It used to be Bobby McGee's, while you won't find the BBQ to be amazing bbq compared to TX, it is good food and the place is truly iconic history, just browse the photos and enjoy the environment and great service. (There is a closer location in Scottsdale, but this is the original in Phoenix. Recommend making the drive for more nostalgia.) https://goo.gl/maps/roaTQMWPX1Nkw72w7 2 Italian Delis, both on Scottsdale Rd but N/S about 8mi from each other: Guido's Chicago https://goo.gl/maps/xFg5iErYBBaWWozF8 DeFalco's https://g.page/DeFalcosDeli?share
  23. Incredible job with shaping. Deceivingly hard to get a nice large round at home!
  24. This will probably be damped by the interest rates. Anyone who bought in with low rates isn't going to sell unless they have an emergency reason, as they'll have to buy a much cheaper house just to 'break even' on payments.
