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...

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...

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...

I'm flying Delta, so that's good to know. Thanks!

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

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...

@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...

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...

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.

Looks like they're yours!

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...

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...

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...

There are a couple of well-reviewed "soccer hosts" on Airbnb Experiences that do organized and guided game-day tours, might be a possibility if you don't want to go it on your own. You just pay them and then they take care of all the dirty work, including buying tickets and getting you in and...

@lunar I got a Tello number today to play around with it a bit. I used your referral code, so you should have a few Tello bucks in your account :) Interestingly, I've been able to get MMS picture attachments to work over Wi-Fi several times, both it's only consistently working for outgoing...

I wasn't inspired by their outgoing call and text rates from AR to USA - texts starting at 45 cpm, and calls starting at 69cpm: https://www.onesimcard.com/rates-and-coverage/?sourcecountry=AR&simtype=compare I'm not paying that. It might be good if you have a spare SIM slot and disable calls...

@elhombresinnombre I think my Dad would probably devour a plate of beans on toast, so I guess than makes him at least 1% British :) Being a heavy smartphone user, I'd have a hard time reverting back to my Nokia days, and unfortunately most U.S. carriers don't make it easy or cheap to continue...

As an American (and a mild tech geek) who travels and lives overseas for long periods of time, I agree wholeheartedly - I've certainly become accustomed to using Whatsapp for everything. Outside of the U.S., Whatsapp is just second nature to everyone and it's rare to encounter anyone who doesn't...
