We've got (another) one we want to get rid of. I suppose that's not really a recommendation

@Ceviche You don't see Argentine students making a name for themselves? Four of Argentina's Nobel prizes were won by those who claim UBA as their Alma Mater: the fifth, Adolpho Perez Esquival, spoke at today's rally and studied at La Plata. The list of the further Argentines whose work gained...

Surely the black and white markings on the crossings are just so that, whatever colour clothes you are wearing, the motorist can target you clearly? Seriously though, I wonder if some of you are living in a different Buenos Aires from me? Out here in Comuna 11 I could sometimes think I am back...

Apart from cleanliness and other operational issues, I think there are at least two other questions: how much does it cost to run a railway and how much should people be asked to pay? The very poor - and you know exactly who I mean - couldn't afford the old prices anyway. They "Ride the Rails"...

I'm coming back again this week and I'm bringing a couple of pump action bottles of insect repellent. OMG! Now I've let that out, I've made myself a target! If I get mugged outside Ezeiza it won't be for my gold Rolex or the diamond encrusted rings - it'll be the mosquito spray they'll really be...

A bricks and mortar travel agent in Panama City once sold me a ticket like that and there were no comebacks for me but serious problems can arise. Google for Hidden City Ticketing and Lufthansa.

You mean like the 23 (so far) that failed? https://chainsec.io/failed-stablecoins Whenever you have something that depends on being tied to something else, bad luck notwithstanding, there will always be those who reckon they can make more money by breaking it. And it's not just crypto: look at...

You seem surprised that Milei doesn't appear to following the course that you expected. Remember,Milei is an avowed admirer of the late Carlos Menem. Menem campaigned for the presidency on a whole range of imaginative policies which inspired the masses to vote for him. More or less his first...

That's a side of Sarmiento I hadn't heard of before.

My prediction is they will change it to CCC.. ...Centro Cultural Conan

Not just Argentina. Google for "debanking USA" or "debanking UK"

The expenses are denominated in local currency, presently known as the Peso (but watch this space) and written internationally as ARS or AR$ and within the country just as $ The expenses are paid monthly. Based on what's happening in our building both the purchase price and the expenses seem...

@NYCRover Wot @nikad sed - in spades. I suspect that anybody from Argentina who wanted to rent in NYC would find it just as confusing as you have found renting here because they would not be used to the NYC way of doing things. Words do not necessarily have the meanings that you might commonly...

You might want to check the actual bus schedule first and look into any extenuating circumstances before you make a complaint but every bus has a big notice with a phone number for complaints printed on it

As I understand it, CCK and Teatro Cervantes belong to the nation while other venues in CABA belong to the city. Maybe everybody is reorganising everything everywhere but I'd be interested to learn how the changes at CCK could be influencing what happens elsewhere. Parque Centenario belongs to...

According to rfidjournal.com a passive system has a potential maximum range of between three and eight metres - which would tie in with a possibly apocryphal story about the early days of London's Oyster card when a bus is said to have driven past a crowd of people on the pavement and sucked...

Didn't Terry Lennox give Philip Marlowe a portrait of Madison?
