Have you folks heard about the new Plex privacy policy? You can read it here.
They are removing the opt-out for collecting telemetry, which raised a lot of eyebrows. People are concerned about their privacy. Theoretically it could be possible to derive which media files are watched from its size & bitrate. So Plex scrambled to address it over the weekend and issued a new statement.
I'm still not 100% reassured, and this mandatory opt-in goes very much against the new EU General Data Protection Regulation, which will come into effect coming May. They might be forced to roll it back, atleast in the European Union. Untill then I might get myself a Pi-hole.

I take it you haven't been to Paris? Just a heads up, it smells like piss & is full of Frenchmen. I'm not a fan.
But I know it's one of those cities everyone wants to visit, I did too. When visiting Paris, all the stuff you listed are good stops. A few additions you might want to consider are:
- Tour Montparnasse - A skyscraper in La Défense, higher than the Eiffel Tower. Added bonus, no stairsclimbing but turbolifts.
- La Grande Arche - In the same business district as Le Tour Montparnasse, it's 50m high and you go to the top in a glass lift tube.
- Hôtel Les Invalides - It holds Napoleon's tomb.
-
Cimetière du Père-Lachaise - A cemetary. But with the graves of Jim Morrison & Edith Piaf.
I myself didn't care much for Le Sacré-Coeur, Montmartre & Centre Pompidou. But they are often mentioned as good places to visit, so I didn't want to leave them out. Why don't you want to visit Disneyland btw? Figured it would be right up your alley.
You mentioned you didn't speak French. A lot of French people don't like to, cannot, or sometimes simply refuse to speak English. They suck, seriously. Be polite. Ask them, in French, if they would please speak English to you. Starting off in English will often cause them to dig in and rattle on in French like there is no tomorrow.
Three cities in one trip does sound a bit much, especially in that timespan. But at that time of year it isn't usually that hot still. (I find little worse than being on a city-trip when it's 30 degrees or more.) If you end up driving through France: The Loire Valley is supposed to be good. So is the Rhône Valley/Provence. S/W Germany is also very pretty, and it has Europa Park. Unless I'm mistaking, the biggest Theme Park in Europe. We visited it late April this year.

I have read a Yale professor suggested Trump will stage a coup. But I don't know. Seems far fetched. What I meant was that Trump's unwilingess to denounce these people makes them stronger.

False advertising! Glad to hear I'm not the only one who had terrible luck with opening Hour of Devastation packs. My bad luck started with Amonkhet. -
I promised a prize? I dunno if I believe you >_> -
Enjoyed hearing your wife on the cast. Not just because it was a fun conversation but because it was fun getting a different perspective on women in Magic. Oh and I was one of the 2 who made it to the end, you promised a prize!

SNES is my all-time favorite console -
Yep. I thought the open world would be good, make it more like Mass Effect 1 in that regard, but instead it became generic fetch-quests over a couple of biomes... And oh god I forgot to mention SAM and the constant temperature updates! The battles had no weight either, you could say the battles in the original trilogy were a bit clunky at times but it gave a 'space marine' feel. Flanking was important, cover, etc. In this, you bounce around constantly moving being hyper with no sense of the greater picture. I had no intention of playing 3 until my partner encouraged me to get it on the PS3, kept feeling like that had moments and individual stories of interest but with a main plotline that really just sucked balls, and that was before the Star Child ending. Dunno about the SJW bits, but the Bioware of today is just a flesh-skin being worn by EA, one that will be put out of its misery soon enough. Oh, that reminds me! The thing that got me the most was how the game felt like it was pretending to be a Mass Effect game. I read a quote somewhere that pretty much summed up the issue: that the game felt like someone had copied someone elses homework and changed things around without really understanding what it was they were doing. Gonna add that in the review actually. Oh, the two of you may be interested in the following article, as with anything on the interwebz the source of the piece's information could be questioned but it seems to explain many of the issues seen in the game. http://kotaku.com/the-story-behind-mass-effect-andromedas-troubled-five-1795886428
