    USAF base in Ushuaia

    Thanks. Yeah, I tried to stick to just the facts and include some links sourced from both sides of the spectrum. I don't really care to engage in any debates either - was just hoping to quash any fears of a penguin invasion. I'm currently in the U.S. visiting a deeply one-sided state with a...

    USAF base in Ushuaia

    I'll preface this by saying that despite being a U.S. Army veteran, I'm not trying to be a shill for the U.S. military with this response. Just trying to provide insight. In a nutshell, the U.S. military has a presence in foreign countries for a variety of reasons, including ongoing historical...

    USAF base in Ushuaia

    Navy, not Air Force AFAIK, but yes there are rumors. I highly doubt Argentina would ever have the political stomach for a largely autonomous U.S. installation like you'd find at Ramstein, Kadena, Pituffik (formerly Thule) or Camp Bondsteel. More likely an Argentine controlled base that hosts a...

    A disturbing trend?

    Absolutely not my intent to suggest anything like that :) Could be a false positive for all I know, but I figured the safest bet was to let you know just in case. Cheers.

    I've always heard it's wise to keep a few tucked away in your money belt for emergencies... /s

    Question about carry-on liquids at EZE

    Okie doke, thanks. That's the rule I normally stick to as far as quantities, but the airline's wording sorta made me wonder if they might have someone stationed at the boarding gate seizing travel-sized toothpaste or something, lol. I'm guessing/hoping they're just referring to people trying to...

    A disturbing trend?

    @PatriotsFan just FYI, I use Malwarebytes Premium for live website threat detection, and your link to "Ivory Research" is generating a trojan alert for some reason. I also tried going to their home page via a Google search, and Malwarebytes is blocking their entire site. Could be a false alert...

    Question about carry-on liquids at EZE

    Hola! I'm flying internationally tomorrow from EZE for the first time, and was a little confused on their carry-on liquids policy...was hoping someone could chime in with their experience. I'll be traveling for 27 hours in total, and normally I'd carry-on a small quart size bag with some...

    Western Union money transfer

    Anyone have success with WU today? Just went to my normal location at Peru/Alsina and they informed me that their computer systems are down. I asked if it was possible to go elsewhere and the clerk said that (to her knowledge) it's affecting other locations as well.

    (free giveaway) U.S./Canada to Argentina travel adapters

    I have three travel adapters (purchased from Amazon about six months ago) that I no longer need and am happy to give away for free to someone who can put them to good use. About a $40 USD value in total. The adapters plug into the local "Type I" power sockets, and allow you to use any U.S. or...

    Entradasba - buying tickets for theatres

    The list of theaters on the website is easily found and is limited to Colon, Sarmiento, and San Martin, which are all public AFAIK. I don't see any private facilities on the list of establishments. "Dropping a digit" is sometimes necessary for those of us without a DNI, as U.S. passport...

    Getting a non-VOIP US phone number from Tello for 2FA

    In my case I'm running dual sim, slot 1 is my physical Claro SIM, and slot 2 is my new Tello eSIM. Since both SIMs are simultaneously active, they're both (AFAIK) maintaining a constant search for cell tower connection - I don't think there's a way to make the Tello eSIM operate on Wi-Fi only if...
