Thank you, Nikad. It is an odd business, no?

Thank you, Lunar, much appreciated! Now, what are those things?

As long as we're on this topic, let me mention Comunidad Coto. You can join by going to www.comunidadcoto.com.ar They will take several different forms of documentation*, including passport. To use it, you just give the cashier the number of the document you registered with. There are discounts...

At the bakery around the corner, they are literally selling it by the slice. Mind you, it's a very good pan dulce. Only bought it once, don't recall the price. I do remember thinking it was delicious but pricey. Empanadas are 1800 pesos, and apple strudel is 650 a slice, but the quality is very...

"Patagonian maras mate for life and females only enter heat a few times a year for about 30 minutes apiece." 30 MINUTES?? A few times a year??

I would politely suggest that you go back and re-read the definition of Dunning-Kruger effect. The Dunning–Kruger effect is a cognitive bias in which people with limited competence in a particular domain overestimate their abilities. It was first described by David Dunning and Justin Kruger in...

From your lips to God's ear.

Specialized vocabulary is always problematic. Cooking is what gets me. For example, in English there are 4 different ways to measure a teaspoon - scant, level, rounded, and heaping. Sure teaspoon is cucharada, but the details...

Good! AirBnB is the devil, and the sooner it goes away, the better.

Well, sure, a corpse is stable. It lies there on the ground and doesn't move.

Well, I don't run anymore. At my age and with my knees, my fastest pace these days is more like a half-assed civilian version of the airborne shuffle, but I used to walk through the park 3-4 times a week, back when I lived in Las Cañitas. My usual route was along Dorrego past the Campo de...

https://www.rt.com/russia/608001-putin-russia-retaliation-strikes/ Hey, come on, its only the potential end of the world as we know it. Nothing to worry about.

In the Bosque Palermo, behind the hipódromo, you can meet a bunch of muchachas con manija. You know, if your "friend" is looking for something exotic...

Oh, this is going to spawn a whole crop of new memes

OK, I'm getting into this The US Embassy in Katmandu reports an unhealthy 191 The US Consulate in Dhaka, Bangladesh reports 190 Most of South America is green, with a scattering of yellow flags. The one and only exception is a single report from Cali, Colombia of a 150. The numbers in North...

One of the problems with talking about AQI is that it is measured differently in different countries. I did find one website waqi that offers some global info. BsAs today is 4-10 and New Delhi is 216 Los Angeles 53-78 San Diego, one anomalous reading of 59, but all the rest are 25-36 Baltimore...
