Uh, no. Occasionally Parisian bakeries pull out the stops and make these. That's from Vincent Salur, in the 15th, but I've seen the same thing at a lot of Parisian bakeries. They're a novelty item, showing off that they can do it at any scale.
Tricky, tho. On the one hand, not the apocalyptic whatever Fox News is trying to promote. On the other hand, a pale pablum reflection of what it was in the 19th and 20th centuries.
I remember being astounded when I moved to Hong Kong that housing prices anywhere could be higher than in San Francisco... but total cost of living was lower, and quality of life was higher, since so many things (like Michelin-starred meals) which would have been unaffordable and inconvenient in San Francisco were cheap and easy in HK.
If you like oolongs, Tea Chai Te's coconut-infused oolong is a treat. T Leaf T's Tokyo Lime is a favorite flavored sencha. Tea Chai Te is in Portland, and T Leaf T is in Wellington, but both are available mail-order.
I hadn't heard of the Reform Next, and went to check it out. I use a Framework because I need an open-source laptop... [edited: I was unnecessarily dismissive of the effort because it was open-source hardware around an ARM processor; the effort of building an open-source laptop is immense, and it was wrong of me to be dismissive of that effort.] Is there a reason you aren't shipping with a RISC-V processor?
Nice! Hi from Singapore, where I'm taking every conceivable opportunity to eat beef rendang. Like any sensible person does. :-)
Bonus: I found that the National Day fireworks are _every Saturday_ for five weeks, leading up to actual National Day! A friend explained that that was to ensure that every kid could experience them at least once. :-)
Well, one thing Tartine did well was "morning buns." Which really are pretty much a Bay Area thing, despite the fact that I think a lot of Californians think that they're a Californian version of a kouign-amann or something. They're really not, they're their own thing, and they're good. And I've never seen one outside of the Bay Area. Though I guess now that Tartine is a big multinational chain, they probably make them elsewhere.
But, yeah, waiting in line for baked goods is a particularly San Franciscan doctor-it-hurts-when-I-do-this-ism.
Whew! I took the ends off three fingers on my left hand in a woodworking accident a few years ago, and boy did I learn to type quickly with just my right hand. In retrospect, I really should have just gone all-in on a chorded keyboard then. But I wasn't quite foresightful enough.
...or EUR 44k for the Ioniq 6, which is also a _really nice_ car, and is the second fastest charging, by one measure, getting 253km of range in just ten minutes. They're very pretty, I've seen quite a few around Paris already.
It looks like a BGP hijack to me. Orange Cote d'Ivoire are just announcing the 38.230.3.46/24 more-specific from their AS29571, and nobody's filtering it.
