Even during the ‘open’ Obama years, tourism for Americans was severely limited by the lack of banking interchange between US banks and Cuban ATMs and credit card networks. You have to bring cash and use a currency exchange, and if you run out you have no way of getting more money from your American bank. Other countries’ networks don’t have this issue, but it would need to be fixed for Americans to visit and spend money.

I’m glad the internal currencies of CUC vs CUP have been resolved, though a massive influx of tourist dollars would strain the existing economic systems of Cubans being paid for jobs other than tourism.

good list— I’ll add:

• the streets
• RJD2

CA glue may also work, but test it first as it may melt your keycap material

whoa this is an excellent post!

correct horse battery staple?

If I can ask a noob question in this highly philosophical and technical thread— what’s your intended client experience for Beehaw? I’m using Voyager on iOS and will be sad to lose it if Beehaw migrates (or even doesn’t migrate to v19), though there may be a similar client for one of the other platforms under consideration.

Surely y’all aren’t all using a web front end, right? It seems there may be value in choosing a platform that has community support for clients as well as mod tools.

But degauss made everything wobble for a few moments.

I had a 21” trinitron at uni in the 00s— it was beautiful, ran 2048x1536, and weighed a ton.

My house does a lot of Negroni variations. I will often swap the Campari for Ramazzotti or Cappelletti to dial down the bitterness and add some herbal notes. Also works great as a Boulevardier or with mezcal.

Thanks! I’ll check these out.

What are the other greatest post-Bach fugues? Including the modern era; I love fugues as a form but don’t have a theory or composition background

I agree, and it is so difficult to find flavourful decafs with a bright, light roast profile.

There’s a lot to unpack in this issue, but it frustrates me that there has been such effective opposition to providing wiring and circuits to support possible future electric appliances and EVs. I can argue for either side of restricting gas appliances, but as the article notes the electrical upgrades would be trivial additions to the cost of new construction or significant costs if added later. If you choose not to use the 240V circuit for a range, dryer, water heater, or EV charger… just don’t use it and it doesn’t hurt you

Really enjoyable article, thanks! I love Rosecrans Baldwin.

I didn’t know that so much of Barcelona’s water was desalinated. Valencia’s rice production especially, but all of l’Horta will suffer with this.

Oh I could go for a 5 gallon keg of seltzer that stays carbonated… how difficult is this to set up?

JDownloader works on yt I believe, and it also parses HLS. you can set it to auto import from the clipboard as well, so just copy a url and it adds it to the queue
