How does one go about porting a Skype number to another service? https://techcrunch.com/2025/02/28/microsoft-hangs-up-on-skype-service-to-shut-down-may-5-2025/ "Microsoft is encouraging users to move over to Teams Free. This offers some additional features not available in Skype, such as...

It's a messed up situation, bro. It really is. I'm close to reaching the point of absolute despair, but all I know how to do is just hang on for dear life and hope something gets better.

Well, that has to do with distance. If you look at the story linked above, the planned work is only 6km long. Connecting the unconnected parts of the city would mean much longer distances, and tunneling underground is expensive, as well as slow. I think the most realistic prospect for better...

Well, that's bold. There will be massive graft and huge kickbacks, of course. The lion's share of the contract money will go to the construction firms of Nicky Caputo and his family, of course. Still, if the work gets done, and the result is safe and according to code, all good, business as...

Thanks for sharing. That's some interesting insight into the socioeconomic changes of the last 30 years.

"Ah, pero Cristina!" And as for your "was there any reason your coffee and medialunas should have been 4-5 times less in Argentina at that time?", I would reply with a resounding YES! Have you ever heard of a concept called "purchasing power parity" ?? Things should cost far less in a...

Interesting selection in their spice department; I see they sell zahtar, and garam masala, plus something called "tandoori mix" which I'd also like to try. The prices are around 2500-3000. I assume that's per 100g but it's not clear.

My wallet moans in pain at the mere thought of the expenses involved in raising three children. Kids are freaking expensive!

Yes, he did, but Trump made a lot of mistakes in his first term that he is obviously determined to avoid this time. The other thing is, "screw me once shame on you. Screw me twice, shame on me." Trump could well take the attitude that Argentina hasn't serviced the initial loan at all well, why...

And yet they seem to get away with it, over and over and over.

Oh, this just keeps getting better. Now it seems that Mauricio Macri is "distancing himself" from Milei, with a very carefully worded statement. - The usual Google Translate deal applies, the story will initially appear in Castellano, but wait a few seconds and it will change to English. ...

Come on, guys. Let's keep it light and friendly. We're all in this mess together.

Even that may be somewhat over-optimistic. I would suggest 2500-3000 as being more realistic.

I'm going to go against the consensus of opinion here, and simply say that my advice is- Don't do it. Just don't. Argentina is in a very bad way right now, and if there is another collapse like El Corralito, there will be a whole lot of truly desperate people, and a wave of crime and...

Like...Mayberry RFD, Green Acres, The Andy Griffith Show, My Favorite Martian, Mister Ed...umm, yeah. I'm old now.

Here's a link to a google-translated version of that story in Clarin. The usual Google Translate deal applies, the story will initially appear in Castellano, but wait a few seconds and it will change to English. It's fairly damning.of the whole business, though not of Milei specifically. At...

No, no, no, no. It's not that subjective. Yes, some like it stronger than others, some prefer dark roasts and others not, but beyond those details good coffee is good and bad coffee is bad.

Amusingly enough the CEO of $Libra is blaming Milei, saying he caused the crash when he withdrew his endorsement, but I'm not sure that fits with the timing of things. It's my understanding, from what I've read, that Milei backpedaled when the crash began. But the finger-pointing is still amusing.

Yes, of course. That's a perfectly ethical thing to do, right?
