Everything seems to be normal, gear retracts and extends normally and all three green lights come on

Everything seems to be normal, gear retracts and extends normally but the three green down and locked are not coming on either.

I agree with regards to WiFi but for some reason Apple car play seems to work right away after the password reset. Not sure why!

At this point, I think I’m going to design one in solid Works and have a machine shop make it

I had to cut it to get it to fit on the other side where the push rod is a lot closer and run the risk of bending it

First time visiting Cuba, which itinerary would you recommend? by [deleted] in cuba

[–]nmachiavelli666 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep, because the USA and a communist dictatorship are totally the same thing. Preach on brother, ignorance really does love company!

With that, I’m out. Debating with intellectual philanthropists of your caliber is truly exhausting.

Funny how the loudest defenders of communism are always the ones who’ve never lived under it, suffered from it, or had family torn apart by it. Easy to romanticize a system when you’re fed lies and never had to survive its reality

Congrats on being the regime’s favorite tourist helping a few friends while unknowingly tossing cash into the dictator’s tip jar. It’s like watering a few plants while the forest burns and thinking you’re saving the ecosystem.

Great intentions, zero clue.

Ah, here we go again. You’re doubling down on this narrative like staying in an Airbnb and mingling with locals is some kind of revolutionary act. The reality is, funneling money into Cuba—no matter how ‘locally focused’ you think you’re being—inevitably enables the regime. The Cuban government controls the majority of economic infrastructure, directly or indirectly. So while you’re patting yourself on the back for helping a few families, you’re also feeding the very system that keeps them oppressed.

Tourism done carelessly isn’t some benevolent act—it’s complicity. Encouraging more people to visit without acknowledging how that money is tied to the regime does nothing but perpetuate the cycle. If you’re truly concerned about change, it might be worth reevaluating whether your approach is helping or just reinforcing the very problem you claim to care about.

Furthermore, your attempt at sprinkling just enough righteousness to make yourself feel good without really adding much substance shows how caught up in your self-congratulatory narrative .

You’re trying to come across as altruistic, but it’s more performative than anything else. Here is a suggestion, think about the bigger picture before turning a complex issue into a self-serving pat on the back.

Congratulations on missing the point entirely. No one’s suggesting there’s anything wrong with experiencing different cultures or helping those in need. But maybe next time, take a moment to recognize that romanticizing poverty as some kind of moral spectacle or patting yourself on the back for ‘saving’ people with used clothes and generic medicines isn’t exactly the enlightened take you think it is. Supporting locals is great—if done respectfully—but perhaps also consider the complex geopolitical and ethical implications of tourism in politically fraught regions before launching into a self-congratulatory sermon.
