Ultimately, you’re paying for the convenience to work easily. Over the span of ~20 days, would you pay ~$200/per for the ability to work more effectively? Otherwise framed, would that loss of effective working cost you more than $200/per? I adjusted using just my laptop screen, but my husband...

Yeah, I'm not sure how I feel about how quietly they drive. I like the ability to hear them coming on the road so I don't accidentally cause them harm if I don't see them. Seems like a rough start having started their journey on electric vehicles in the desolate Patagonia roads and smaller...

If you haven't seen it, check out the new docu-series by Ewan McGregor where he and his best friend drive e-motorcycles from Ushuaia to Los Angeles in three months. Lots of good South America footage.

One more thing to add...several of my colleagues in NY have had family members die alone in hospitals over the past several months. I can’t even imagine being on any side of that scenario (victim, family member, or healthcare professional), but I do know I don’t want to experience it first hand...

While death is certainly the worst possible outcome, we’ve yet to understand the longterm effects of having contracted COVID-19. Two people in my closer circle had contracted it in May, have recovered from COVID-19 (meaning they now test negative for the active virus), however neither of them...

I second the suggestion to contact a residency lawyer due to the legal complexity. It’s nowhere near the cost of citizenship and is a much shorter process (pre-COVID, that is, not sure about now). Convivencia was mentioned, and I know several who have gone this route and through the same...

First US case was January 19th. US is now extended to April 30th, with 155k+ cases and 2800+ deaths. Any end date in April is ambitious.

I’ve been using video chatting technology more often than before, outside of work, which was my primary use. With so many phones with cameras, it makes this easy. Facetime, facebook messenger video, whatsapp video, zoom, and many others available. If you’re adventurous, you set up a group chat...

How has this changed Argentine traditions (ie. Sunday asado, mate, saludos)?

Back then, when coffee chat changed location each time, we probably fit in well with that crowd. Birkin produced the two largest coffee chats, at 18 and 24 attendees (and they never threw us out back then). Expensive place but had great bench seating for us hipsters ;).

Oh no! Now, where will Pablo go?!?!

Shoulda had one of these handy suckers

I’ll arrive a little early, too. Bringing chocolate cornbread cake. See you all soon

I take uber all the time (not just in BA), never felt unsafe. I have been overcharged by taxis, have had friends who have had issues in taxis with taxi drivers. Are taxis held to the standard that ride share companies are these days? Serious question, because I don’t know; but if it matters to...

Great, that makes 5 of us, so far. See ya there!
