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.

I would love this— it would let users browse and interact beyond their instance without the full deluge of the All feed.

Kobo + Calibre is pretty easy, and the device itself is very nice.

not sure if Buster Bluth or Hulk Hogan

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.
