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.

correct horse battery staple?

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.

Really enjoyable article, thanks! I love Rosecrans Baldwin.

What luminosity sensors are you using? I’m interested in automatic daylight harvesting but need a good sensor to provide the sunlight input.

jDownloader might do this automatically if given the video url.

I dislike coins too, but mostly because a dollar is the smallest useful denomination and anything below is rounding. In a 1900 era world where you could buy something material for a nickel or dime, it was worthwhile to use those coins.

ICYMI (in case you missed it) and IYKYK (if you know, you know) which frequently get crossed in my head

That whole Offerings album is amazing and fits this theme.

I have to add Anthems by Broken Social Scene, it feels like nostalgia for an adolescence I didn’t get.

I have a Sunbeam Radiant Control toaster from the 1960s. It’s an elegant, automatic design with only one control for the amount of toast. If it had slots wide enough for bagels it would be perfect.

Noisome means smelly, not noisy.

enormity means serious or grave, not very large.

terrific isn’t always great or amazing; it can be synonymous with terrifying.

So are they still running Alfa equipment until Audi takes over?

Magnolia Electric Co - The Dark Don’t Hide It or Just Be Simple

Does it work better than the slsknet.org client?

There are great recommendations already in this thread, so I’ll add one for Jason Isbell. Formerly of Drive-by Truckers, Southeastern is a good place to start with his solo work.

Interesting conditions with teams seeming to struggle for grip against a cold track without much rubber built up from early runs, leading to contact and close calls.

Piastri had a strong run near the lead and may have been hamstrung by strategy, certainly had a better race than Norris however.

Still can’t figure out the intent behind Verstappen’s relatively meager 5sec penalty for the first lap shenanigans.
