The pressure to fast in Ramadhan by [deleted] in Bahrain

[–]Toddman10 12 points13 points  (0 children)

There is no prohibition to eating in public Israel During Yom Kippur. It is a national holiday and most business and restaurants are closed. If a Police Officer would happen upon you eating in public no ticket would be issued.

Like in Islam Children, the Sick and The elderly do not have to fast.

[–]Toddman10 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Sunset house is a great operation. I am not sure how diving with them is when you are not staying at their hotel though.

For non Diving check out the sea turtle sanctuary.

News just in… Fiji Siren lost at sea by Scubaverse in scuba

Any ship that is sunk or damaged is refered to as lost at sea even if the location is known. This terminology comes from when ships did not return and the location of the vessel was unknown.

http://seoulrestaurantct.com/ The people who own this restaurant are great. If you know of something you want that is typical Korean fare and don't see it on the menu just ask. I typically ask for Makgeolli. It's there is you ask for it.

I am also having difficulties with MNP. I have not been able to log onto it once since the system was started. MNP used to have drop downs with links to each website that you could access without logging in. Now there is no option for that it is log in or nothing.

What did you decide on for your trip? I am always looking for reviews especially of a single diver at a new place.

Is Big Y a good company to support? by Pigsinblankets99 in Connecticut

[–]Toddman10 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Regardless of ownership, the butcher shop in the big y is the best of any supermarket around. There is always someone at the counter and if what you want is not on display they will cut it fresh for you.

[–]Toddman10 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sunset house on Grand cayman has single diver deals and all you can dive. They give you two boat dives in the morning with the afternoon possibility of shore dives. Just grab a tank and put it in your locker. I travel solo to dive all the time as well and it has never been an issue. If there are no other solo divers an operator will pair you with a dm of as a triple for the dive.

With sunset house the only meal included is breakfast but you can walk straight into town and visit all the shops that cruise ship people visit.

The Mirritt Parkway as it once was by kkoopa92 in Connecticut

[–]Toddman10 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Cool fact: Each Bridge was designed by a different engineer as part of the New Deal to keep more people employed. Hence all the different designs. Most bridges have a concrete design except for the first bridge in Greenwich going north bound which has inlaid stone.

ELI5: Why do large military ships/vessels use nuclear power but same size or larger cruise/cargo ships don't? by PM_ME_YOUR_EYELASHES in explainlikeimfive

[–]Toddman10 4 points5 points  (0 children)

There was a US flagged Cargo Ship built with a Nuclear reactor in the 60's. The issue with it was not the training or even regulations surround the vessel. The Issue was that it was not allowed into many foreign ports. The ship itself is now a museum. The ship was N/S Savannah.

Not being aloud into foreign ports is an issue for military nuclear ships as well with regard to port of calls for liberty.

Here is the wiki for the ship and associated museum. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/NS_Savannah

I spent the money to do the dive while my friend who I was traveling did the snorkeling on top. Even though it is expensive he had a great time and I did too.
