    Rental Home Insurance

    Agree. I think you just need to maintain an average balance of 450,000 pesos a months or something like that to get the fee waived.

    Milei dreams of massive immigration to the provinces

    I guess we can agree to disagree. It's interesting to see how pipelines, mines, ports, etc provide jobs elsewhere in the world but not here. In Canada, East Coasters would do FIFO rosters or relocate to Alberta for the construction of the oil sands, during Gold Rushes, or a cycle everyone...

    Western Union money transfer

    I am not sure the process with Euros. You may need to convert first from Euros to Dollars. If you need to do this, then determine if its still worth it, accounting for the additional step exchange required. To determine if you get the MEP or CCL rate depends on whether you wire from abroad 1)...

    Has Argentina Become Worse Or Better for Foreign Retirees recently?

    I stand corrected. Thanks for the clarification. I thought it was generally the process that you had a temporary number during the precaria period, but I guess its not. Has anyone tried speaking to the insurance companies with just a precaria? Or do you need the actual DNI?

    Has Argentina Become Worse Or Better for Foreign Retirees recently?

    Have you started the immigration process? I think you are issued a DNI once you have a precaria. The DNI will change once you get an actual visa issued. Also, would be good to understand what is covered/excluded. If it covers existing prescriptions then it help reduces the effective cost.

    Can Milei evolve from disruptor to political leader?

    I think he can change. Needs to change the rhetoric. Will be tough based on his persona for the last few years but absolutely possible.

    Fiber Supplements Needed

    Ya here is some nutritional info. But I guess it depends on the dose. 3 tablespoons would net 110 calories (minus 40 calories for the 10 g of fiber). So thats 36 Cal/tablespoon, or 12 Cal/teaspoon. Its not as bad as I thought if you're doing those lower dosages. I guess the question is a...

    Western Union money transfer

    Balanz They are a broker in Argentina. You can transfer to their account by wire, they credit your account in "dolares cable" and then you can do an exchange with CCL rate which is usually a few percent higher than MEP. The commission is around 1.2%. then you just transfer it to your bank...

    Fiber Supplements Needed

    Chia seeds are good and accessible, but also calorie dense. So just need to be mindful depending on your diet. Also, I think you need to give them time to absorb the moisture prior to consuming.

    Fiber Supplements Needed

    Psyllium powder I think it's about 50k pesos a kilo in Argentina, and about $50/kg in Canada, so similar priced. The stuff in the purple bag here is a more expensive here. Netanyahu may work out cheaper per kg, but it has other stuff in, so I think it's more per kg of fiber. Mercado libre...

    Looking for a PC - fed up with Macs

    I think for most basic users seeing up a VMware solution is over the top and beyond current skill level. Windows works until it doesn't and usually it's just a turn it off and turn it back on again. People are also creatures of habit. If Windows is what they know they will stick to it. Much...
