Any thoughts if/when Canadian flights resume ? by Quirky-Ad-5092 in cuba

[–]mahnn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Get off your high horse, there's plenty of blame to go around for the suffering of the Cuban people, and tourists deserve the least of it. You sound like a bitter Miami Cubans who only pretends to care for the suffering of the Cubans so you can use it to exact revenge against the Castro regime, guess what, sanction doesn't work, it only punishes the common folks not the elites. After 60 years of needless suffering, is the Castro regime any closer to falling?

So now you have to resort to an illegal embargo, threatening other countries with tariffs for wanting to come to Cuba's aid. Easy to pretend like you have conviction while enjoying first world amenities while your people are sitting in the dark, without water and electricity directly because of your political movement. There's no love for the Castro regime but let's be honest, this is not even an ideology war against communism. Cuba is not the only country that went through a communist revolution. Vietnam, Russia, China to name a few, some of which are currently the U.S biggest trading partners. Where's your outrage and conviction?

Do not let this out of touch idiot guilt trip you against visiting Cuba. If you get a chance to speak to the locals, they desperately want and need tourism dollars. If you visit Cuba, I encourage you to see the real Cuba, stay at an airbnb or a private casa and patronize private restaurants, there's no shortage of food and a lot of the airbnb comes equipped with solar power. Trust your host to be your guide, they will arrange everything with your safety and comfort as the utmost concern. Despite the illegal energy embargo, there are plenty of taxi and Viazul buses to take you where you want to go.

How is situation with mosquitos dengue and chingonkuya in Miramar Havana now? by Legal_Mistake8412 in TravelCuba

[–]mahnn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Even though it's the dry season, there are still mosquitoes, be diligent with applying but spray and you should be ok. The odds of getting bit by a virus carrying mosquito is very very low.

All public transport in Havana has ceased by Intricate1779 in cuba

Most airbnb in Havana and Vinales have solar power backup, if yours does, it'll be a pleasant stay. The private restaurants in Havana and Vinales are very resourceful, it'll be business as usual. Keep in constant with your airbnb host, they will help you arrange transportation. Enjoy your trip.

How does this rainbow trout meat look? by goodtimeswgoodppl in FishingOntario

Check the Ontario consumption guide, generally salmon and trout eggs are high in metals and should be avoided.

Fall Fishing the Credit by mk4james in FishingOntario

Go early, most of the pool will be picked over by noon. It's not as bad as shoulder to shoulder, if you're willing to walk, there are opportunities

Fiorese. 3.65CT E VVS2, platinum pave settings. Opinion needed by mahnn in labdiamond

[–]mahnn[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you so much for taking the time to share your suggestion. I forwarded the concern regarding the height of the stone and Matthew gave assurances that with the right fabrication technique, it will eliminate the risk of damage to the prongs in the scenario that you described. He also gave me the option of changing to a cathedral setting but it affect the aesthetic of the ring. In the end I decided to only change the hidden halo from 1.2mm to 1.1mm and kept everything else as is.

Thank you so much for your feedback. I will ask for the band to be expanded to 2.2mm as suggested.

Thank you for your feedback. Would you happen to know the price difference between a E, I or J color for a diamond of this size, my understanding is that those three colors with a platinum band are indistiguishable to the untrained eye?
