    Making sense of "expenses" in RE listings

    Regardless of moving-in date, when did the tenancy begin? What does the contract say?

    Getting a non-VOIP US phone number from Tello for 2FA

    Absolutely brilliant exposition, @obiwanderkenobi and I thank you for taking the trouble. I am British but in all other respects I Am Your Dad. I don't know if what I do is feasible from the USA but this is what I do and it works for me. I bought a dumb phone (Nokia 110 if you are asking) in...

    Buying bus tickets online

    I have never bought bus tickets for travel in Argentina online. I always buy in person at bus company offices in bus stations on the day, or a few days in advance if possible. The only times when there could any difficulty are Christmas, Easter and the peak holiday weekends of January and...

    Is the Milei "Transformation" Failing Already?

    So... only horrible for the other forty million who live here then,

    Scooters in BA

    This may be just a matter of semantics but here goes. Coming for three months doesn't usually involve residency. If you are coming to do business you'll need a business visa; if you are coming as a tourist to do touristy things - including working online while enjoying a change of scenery -...

    Unregistered SUBE cards face higher transportation costs

    It started as a trickle with just a few top-up locations coming back on line but now it appears to be possible to recharge Sube cards physically in person anywhere again.

    Are Most Fruterias Dishonest?

    It's called Stock Rotation and it's so commonplace that it even has its own Wikipedia entry. If you want to choose your own produce, visit one of the very many self-service outlets around the city.

    Anyone able to receive Amazon order?

    Have you tried asking KEL Edicions (https://www.kelediciones.com/) to order them for you? You might have to call into one of their shops and actually ask someone to do this but it is worth a try.

    Greeting cards

    The only mail that ever arrives here is official post (which I don't think uses CA anyway) and signed for documents. Stuff we send overseas never gets there. Stuff from overseas never arrives here. Ordinary post used to be bad but used to arrive eventually in either direction, now... ...nothing...

    Greeting cards

    If you come from the UK(largest greeting card market in the world, by population) or the USA(2nd largest) it can come as a surprise to find that other cultures just aren't that into sending cards. Maybe having/not having an effective, cheap postal service is something to do with it? There used...

    Toilet paper prices

    All these hygiene arguments are just a load of crap: I've flushed out the original deposit to the US Patent Office and the diagram clearly shows which way the paper ought to hang... ...outwards. Check out US465588A

    Lactaid or something like it?

    AIUI goes something like this: In Ireland and also the UK, fresh milk is heated below its boiling point (about 75-80°C for about 15 seconds) to pasteurise it. Here, long life milk is ultra heat treated at about 135°C for a few seconds and the product called "fresh milk" goes through exactly the...

    Medical insurance question

    Good advice. Also remember that whatever your residency status, public hospitals will treat anyone.

    Toilet paper prices

    In the market in my English town I buy a pack of 36 double ply rolls for £6/$8 - sorry about that ;-) To buy toilet paper here you need to shop around - a lot - and a masters degree in applied mathematics wouldn't go amiss either, what with buy 2 get 1 for 75% type offers and varying roll...

    Opening Bank account with CDI?

    Yes, @gringoexpress, and a very clear guide it is too. Several others have written excellent guides to other aspects of life here so the message to anybody reading this is:- Before you ask something that's already been asked over and over, USE THE SEARCH FUNCTION ON THIS SITE! What you want to...

    Boise, Idaho anyone?

    Well, for what it's worth, I've never lived there but after my son passed through then told me I really ought to visit, I spent a little time there and loved it. Compared to Buenos Aires it's tiny: about the same population as only Comuna 12 but spread out over ten to fifteen times the area with...

    Unregistered SUBE cards face higher transportation costs

    48 hours later the Sube top up at our station is still closed. Has anybody anywhere been able to top up over the past 48-72hrs?

    Window blinds repair person?

    I didn't see the pictures before but to me it looks like an internal roller blind and you will likely find it cheaper and easier to buy the whole thing from Easy or Sodimac than to fiddle with broken parts. If the length/colour/material needs to match, just put the old fabric on the new drum. It...
