I know there are two outside Paris. We took my wife’s parents back to her dad’s hometown this summer and because I don’t feel comfortable with driving 5 hours to the west coast after flying overnight from North America we usually try to find a place to stay near Paris. We discovered our hotel would be about a half-hour’s drive from the Costco southwest of Paris and we joked about driving there after checking in so we could troll friends and family on social media that our first meal in France was a €1.50 Costco hot dog. I would be genuinely curious to check it out sometime if we ever had the time, just to see what’s the same and what’s different.

Yes, but I think the headstone comment is relating to all the products killed by Google, often referred to as the Google Graveyard, a term that’s been around since at least 2013. Nothing to do with Google being evil or not.

It seems they offer it for €1.50 in Europe, too!

They’ve been killing good products for well over a decade

Wouldn’t that be added when the pasta is cold? I get the feeling OOP did this with hot pasta, possibly even heating the mayonnaise to make it more “like” Alfredo sauce.

I guess I interpreted your comment to mean they would go for a higher-end arrangement, something more exclusively available to people with large amounts of money, not a cheap arrangement found in an older shopping center.

Billionaire Robert Kraft was caught at a low-end “massage parlor” in Florida. It seemed like a slam-dunk case but his lawyers were able to argue that the warrant allowing detectives to place hidden cameras in the rooms didn’t explicitly include recording the videos so the recordings couldn’t be used in court as evidence. Without the recordings of him asking for and receiving sexual services from a potentially trafficked person the prosecutors weren’t able to make a case and he remains a free man, not guilty in the eyes of the law even though what he did became widely known. Still blows my mind that he had the financial resources for any variety of overtly-transactional or less-overtly-transactional-and-perfectly-legal-in-most-jurisdictions relationships with willing participants, yet he chose the really cheap and illegal route with someone who was likely coerced into the action by a third party. Was that part of the appeal?

Showering with my wife sounds like a sexy, fun idea, but it pretty much always means neither of us are at a temperature we like and whoever’s not under the water is getting cold.
