Recommendations in London & Paris?
I'm landing Paris in a week and haven't done any homework. Apparently staying roughly at the boundary of 10/11/19/20 Arrondisement. What's around me? What should I do? Will be there a week, family wants to visit Versailles and Disney, and wants to shop. I just want food. No need for Michelin fancy. Would especially appreciate (and may regret) shopping recs.

Las Vegas go hard or go home thread
Sales go live 10am PST for Amex Presale, site now has a countdown. Make sure you log in ahead to make sure your Ticketmaster login works, you don't want to get hung up and lose out because of an expired password or other stupidity. The third option, Koval hospitality, looks to be on a truly shit portion of the track for spectating. https://www.ticketmaster.com/promo/67pdsb

Upside, hotter milfs than most bars?- The Japan Thread
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/?

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.

I was told there would be no math.- The Watch Fanatic Thread
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.- Wives and the Stupid Shit They Say/Do

- China Chip Decapitation
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.- Comprehensive Late Night Talk Show Thread
