That large is even small compared to many places now.

Sometimes you can get a really good trade in deal. Just pay it off immediately and it will be unlocked, then you’ll usually get bill credits for 2 years. You’ll have to stay with that carrier for 2 years if you want the full discount but every month is you saving off of the full retail price, so as long as you plan to stay a few months anyway you’re still saving.

I’m American and I went!

It’s not too bad actually. There’s a bunch of rules technically (all imposed by the American govt because they think they can control what you do abroad…) but really it’s not to hard to follow. Have to stay in a Casa Particular instead of a hotel (because the hotels are state run), which basically means get an AirBnB. Prices are very affordable. I paid $100 for a week in Old Havana. Flights from Florida were very cheap. Then you have to avoid government run things. I found some private tour guides for some trips outside of Havana but most days we just took taxis or walked (it’s quite safe) around Havana talking to people, seeing some monuments, going to bars and such.

The real pain is money. Your cards will not work at all anywhere in Cuba due to the sanctions. No ATMs because of this. So you need to bring all the money you need. Many places will take USD or Euros, some things you need Cuban Pesos for and you’ll want to find someone on the street to change it out with and haggle the rate. The official government exchanges give abysmal rates.

Cell service on your domestic plan ranges from non-existent or still stuck in the early 2000s where moderate usage will cost $1000s… But I was able to get a local tourist sim for $14 for a week and just didn’t use my home cell data.

The Treasury can ask for receipts for 5 years after your trip but as far as I’ve ever heard they haven’t asked anyone about it.

Cuba is also popular with Canadians

That’s abhorrent. An affront to cooking.

There’s no way you’ll have a good cook on both!

You shouldn’t entertain such a request BUT considering how aggressively these models try to agree with you you can hugely bias the response kinda however you want.

Uhhhh that’s just stringent 2FA.

I keep a laminated printout of emergency codes for Google in my wallet and also have an authenticator code app that’s not tied to Google or my phone, in addition to a Yubikey which offers me three methods to get into my account. There were options especially when it happened the first time.

Of course I’ve migrated away enough from Google for it not to be a huge issue even if I did lose the account, but it is one of my oldest emails and I’d prefer not to lose it.

They sent us an email saying that we should only use Copilot built into the Microsoft 365 stuff work provided, if we use AI.

But no mandate or instructions otherwise thankfully. But I don’t work in tech.

I believe -35F is ~-37C sooo

Man I wanted to watch this movie but it doesn’t seem to have been released in anything but German - even subtitled.

Any English or Spanish translations?

Oh no we cornposting again

I really hope you’re joking

I’ve had one for years and it looks great. But yeah depends entirely on your water probably.

I have one that looks just like this but black plastic not red. It just clicks.

These glass Cosori ones are pretty good in my experience

I mean I think people are talking about old school basic cable where your TV was the tuner, no cable box needed unless you wanted a guide and DVR

No and this is propaganda bullshit

This is petty and stupid

yt, twitter or Facebook yet.

Uhhhhhh the Internet was a massive thing before any of that

Yeah it would be small to the point of not being perceptible. A single atom has an insane amount of energy for its size, but its still not enough to move a grain of sand any amount that would be perceptible to the naked eye
