Yeah, I'm guessing either there wasn't good communication between the local PD and SS, or there was just confusion. I heard one report that a cop scaled the ladder to investigate, was confronted by the shooter, and ducked down; whereupon the shooter immediately took his shot. I would imagine the...

I just bought my tickets online for the other operas this season... will be back in September, woo hoo. (the other operas aren't as 'popular' as Carmen, but you can get seats up in the nosebleed for around $10 USD, and I've never been to an opera there that wasn't awesome)

I hear ya. When I was taking yoga in my Palermo gym, not only was it in spanish (which is fine) but they had 'soothing' new age music playing so I could barely hear the instructor. Which they also do in USA (alas), but it's advanced comprehension to understand barely audible 2nd language.

Wow the asado index shows a large leap since the end of Feb (I came back to the states to do some stuff around that time)... is that general inflation across the board, or is beef out of proportion? I had been reading that inflation rate is coming down.

Mr. Market promised that wealth would inevitable trickle down, luxury housing construction would lower prices, and free market healthcare would result in competition. Mr. Market is frequently led astray.

Hunh. I need the Certificado de domicilio, the police said they would mail it to me (I brought ID and a bill). Never got it, 2 weeks later. I guess I'll visit again.

My first time here (years ago) I used bytargentina.com , which seemed to be more 'regulated' than Craigslist or FB or whatnot. At the time I had to physically go to the byt office and sign contracts and give them the money (this was back in 2014 or 2015?), but they didn't demand a deposit. It...

I'm still trying to figure out whether it makes sense to apply for temporary/permanent residency or continue as a yearly tourist, and a lot has to do with taxes. I read online various 'facts' as to how long you reside in country before becoming a tax resident (after 9 months a year? after 12...

Looks like Wyoming is the only state spared in a 500 warhead strike. Not that I would recommend it to live. One of my friends left BA for Pittsburg a couple years ago and seems to like it. YMMV, of course. Cold at times.

His first trip abroad? What about the USA? They need a fact checker.

I live in Boulder CO when Iḿ not down here. Its gotten very expensive, and for years I told people they should consider Boise because it has a lot of the charm (university, small city layout, surrounded by beautiful nature) and at the time it was maybe half the price. I think a lot of people...

From what I've read, they're discounting for people on assistance, jubilados, etc. I guess there's really no reason for non-DNI people to register? Or are they just punishing anonymity...

I guess foreigners will pay the higher fee... there's a space for DNI, right? Passport number doesn't cut it.

If you're interested in taking music lessons, this is a great time. I've heard of $8 lessons from pros, I pay $20 for a nearly 2 hour lesson with the #1 guy I would want to study with. Anything 'labor' is cheap, luxury goods are expensive. If you mostly cook at home or eat at local places and...

Just out of curiosity, how did you decide to come to BA? If you want a clean situation with less chance of crime and poop, I would think Belgrano or Villa Urquiza or maybe Palermo Hollywood would be less 'poopy' than areas closer to downtown. But it's a pretty gritty place at the moment, not...

That is it exactly. Well done!

This is the way. I did it a few weeks ago, no bleach and disinfectant involved. Took about an hour in the morning, but I speak a bit of spanish and brought a printout of my migraciones record from the government website (I doubt I could find it again or I'd send you a link). It would have been...

Wow that looks cool for $16 a year... is that true? swimming and gym as well? I like badminton but I havent played in a while.

I don't remember much of prices in 1999 (the first time I came here), but I do remember paying $5 for a lomo sandwich in an average restaurant downtown, and thinking it was cheap compared to a steak sandwich in NYC. But if people were paying $10 for Don Julio in 2003, that's quite a difference.

Ah Sam Altman's crypto; the guy whose company OpenAI is being sued by the NYTimes for massive data scraping and copyright infringement... when he's not trying to collect everyone's retina biodata. Ojo, as they say.
