    Why off-duty cops in second jobs ‘kill and die more’ in recession-hit Argentina

    "If police officers were not allowed to carry their government-issued guns while they are off duty, the number of ‘trigger happy’ deaths would be significantly reduced,” she said." Oh no, think of these poor assailant's lives. It's not "trigger happy" when they rob you at gun point and shoot...

    Rental Home Insurance

    Only in Argentina will the owner require the tenant to pay for a fire policy and simultaneously provide no smoke detectors or fire extinguishers on site. I can't imagine how any insurer would honor a fire damage claim without such basic prevention measures in place, but here we are...

    Rental Home Insurance

    Insurance is by and large a game of actuarial statistics; i.e. how many are actually going to break vs how many pay in. The real math is how much in premiums have you paid over the years and what would it be able to replace today had you just saved the money (self-insured) yourself. Of course...

    Ecoparque entrance fee for nonresident visitors

    It seems only fair. The do the same for Neuquinos visiting San Martin. We receive a 15% discount if you reside within the province.

    Betting pool for Adorni's resignation

    I suppose you haven't seen this video of Adorni in 2017 saying he wasn't involved in the crypto scene.... odd for a guy who had already invested $200k into crypto and must have been a seasoned trader.

    Impuestos de bienes personales

    Howdy Michelle, Welcome to the forum. IMO, your correct source for this information is an accountant. The good news is that they are ubiquitous and affordable down here. It's my understanding the answer to your question depends on the registered value of the property and whether it exceeds the...

    Betting pool for Adorni's resignation

    Place your bet folks... Seriously, how is this clown still around? Does he have dirt on Milei? We are all really going to believe the second most powerful politician in Argentina bald faced lying that he stumbled on a pen drive full of bitcoins? It would have been more credible if he found a...

    I found real aged cheeses including cheddar and blue

    I'll let you know if five years, haha. From what I read Listeria grows mostly in soft cheeses. The dry acidity in hard cheeses is why it's difficult for listeria and botulism to grow. You are correct that one needs to buy a low moisture cheese apt for aging and that not all young cheeses are...

    I found real aged cheeses including cheddar and blue

    This was brought to my attention in an earlier thread as well. The location is misleading. The Couly brothers have a farm in Cipoletti, which is not open to the public, where they produce cheese. You can taste a sample of them as an appetizer at their fine dining restaurant "La Toscana". I have...

    I found real aged cheeses including cheddar and blue

    Fascinating....BA has a much greater cheese selection than Neuquen and I've always thought about bringing a few wheels down here. It never occurred to me that you can buy younger wheels to age at home in a wine cooler if you wanted to.

    Walk-In Clinic for Check on Blood Pressure?

    There are pubic hospitals that allow walk-ins but, given the wait times, I wouldn't recommend it. I mean, why not just a monitor down here if it doesn't fit in your luggage? They aren't that expensive:

    Americans, what do you bring back when you visit the USA?

    For starters: 1) Anything you have a pet peeve for that requires higher quality than normal here: (fancy sheets), (japanese knives), (unusual size clothes), etc. 2) Any small specialty piece of equipment (camera lenses, digital accessories, hard to find machine parts, special tools) 3) Any...

    Fiber Supplements Needed

    My wife enjoys the low carb diet, but it tends to be low fiber as well, which aggravates her chronic digestive issues. To counteract this, she drinks water with chia seeds as well as a topping on her daily yogurt.

    Indio Solari 1949-2026

    Is it that strange? Indio's last album was released in 2018. I never particularly cared for rock nacional, but I was thoroughly fascinated to hear how an italian heroin addict who knew nothing about Argentina came down here, formed the band SUMO, and with songs written in English became one of...
