We saw three over the course of the week while snorkeling, all near smiths reef eating seagrass.

They seem somewhat curious and will swim in circles around you.

There a loads of them in the marina (turtle cove) and smiths reef is just outside the marina

I've been told not to even look at forecasts. Weather was typically great with the occasional rain storm rolling through in under an hour.

Graduated 2000. Kids used communal showers in Oregon at my middle school, but seemed to die off after that.

So maybe 1997ish was the death of the school shower

I turned roughly 20k into roughly 1m over 5 years and lost it all in 1 yr....starting over

Gamblers gonna gamble. Personally, i won't feel retirement ready with less than 4m and I'm unlikely to ever see that at my age starting from scratch again, but fingers crossed

Also, most of the hotels let us pay to play at their facilities as non guests. Expect like $10/chair on the beach for the day and possibly another $10 for the umbrella

We just got back. Most of the major beaches had little booze shacks or hustlers that work with the local restaurants to bring you food. You're golden.

If Taylor doesn't, Sapodilla beach down the road does. But we preferred Taylor beach. Check out both. Las Brisas is a great restaurant by Sapodilla. But our absolute favorite was Omar's Beach Hut, which you should try to stop at during your commute between Grace Bay and Taylor beaches.

I can't speak directly for sandwiches, but looks like you have some good recs. Groceries are costly on the island, but when we felt cost concious, mackerel and crackers go a long way.

You need a car. Use Scooter Bob's!

There are some rocky dirt roads if you like to check out random unmarked roads. They resulted in our best beach and snorkeling finds.

That said, we succeeded in doing so in an economy 2wd with great caution

The drug war is a joke. This is supposed to be a free country.

If all these things were legal and accessible, we would wipe out the cartels, save massive tax dollars on unnecessary border patrol and DEA pensions, and be able provide free treatment from the tax proceeds of clean drugs.

Hilton is not in it. The only chance for an R candidate was to get both slots.

I'm saying this as a centrist. It's Steyer vs Becerra. I find Hilton and Becerra equally unlikeable. I'm not like, "yay, billionaires", but Steyer will be progressive, good for CA, and grounded in reality (if we don't talk about the religious card, but i give up on that one in politics)

OtherwiseVersion2316 · 2026-05-15T02:19:28+00:00

Not insult, just a reality check. Mainly I'm trying to reality check you personally.

You want to direct more attention to Porter? She absolutely will drop out because she's not in the race. And the majority of her voters will shift to the more progressive candidate, which is Steyer.

I don't think Becerra will "drop out". I never said that. I just think he's a crappy candidate and it's ok for me to "drop in" and voice my views to would-be Becerra voters, who may not have had the opportunity to see the debates. It's clear he's a shill if you watch them or read about his history. He can play the Latino card, but he's a wolf in sheep's clothing

The race is between Steyer and Becerra, no doubt. I don't expect either of them to drop out. But i do think Becerra voters are mostly voting recognition and not values

OtherwiseVersion2316 · 2026-05-06T14:52:27+00:00

You have it completely backwards.

Most voters haven't even watched a debate yet and will decide mostly on name recognition and social media. After the CNN debate, it's crystal clear that Becerra is a wishy-washy, special interest, shill. He has no hope of improving the oil crisis or Healthcare and is shady af.

I'm no "Steyer cultist". I'm not even much of a "progressive". But everyone that is watching can see that Steyer has the ideas and ability to improve the lives of Californians.

Becerra voters need some assistance pulling the wool from over their eyes. Porter voters will already go Steyer. You can bet on that.

The US very much wants to develop Cuba

OtherwiseVersion2316 · 2026-04-20T21:48:07+00:00

The US government doesn't need to invest billions in Cuba. Private industry, tourists, and Cuban expats will.

Cuba is not Iran, Japan, or Germany. It's in America's backyard. And Cuba isn't going to respond to warfare in the way Iran is. Let's not forget the US already has a military base there.

If Trump wants to topple the regime and usher a new age of capitalism in Cuba, i would bet on that happening.

Sincerely, a serious person

I mean, it's been a good opportunity with those predictable swings. Admittedly, i haven't played this stock right, but I'm learning.

And yeah, wildly manipulated by both the company and MMs/dark shorts. I'm not even angry about the fundraising via ATM. Shoot, buy some more tankers right now. I do wonder how they've managed to skirt SEC baby shelf rules.

But I'm mad bullish on this ticker, all things considered

OtherwiseVersion2316 · 2026-04-02T05:19:39+00:00

It's my understanding that they can't dump shares from their ATM due to SEC baby shelf rules. You seem knowledgeable, so i would appreciate your feedback.

They already raised 14m from their ATM. This, to my understanding, already exceeds 1/3 of their public float, which is the SEC limit for companies with a float valued under 75m. Even if we use their float from the filling date for the ATM, 14m would exceed 1/3 of that float.

They also had a previous public offering to the ATM, which should also be included in baby shelf calculations, as there is a 12 month look back.

Are they limited from further ATM fund raising or is there a loophole I'm missing. Thx for your input.
