    Could Milei win in the first round?

    Have you stopped the country before? Who are "we" in this sentence? We, the guys who block the autopista to Ezeiza from time to time and then get dispersed by police shooting rubber bullets?

    Good quality pillows

    If you like soft pillows, I bought a couple of these: "Nube Luxury Edition Efecto Pluma" - and they're quite good, in my opinion. They're from a synthetic material, not real down. https://articulo.mercadolibre.com.ar/MLA-839799043-almohada-nube-luxury-edition-efecto-pluma-50x90cm-_JM

    Using international SMS for 2FA while in Argentina

    There are also SIM cards with specialized software that function as eSIM emulators. These essentially transform standard phones into eSim phones. See https://esim.me , for example.

    Rentista passive income through irrevocable trust?

    "Passive" means earning income without direct effort. Immigration doesn't specify that one must rent properties, you seem to associate the two for some reason.

    Rentista passive income through irrevocable trust?

    My guess is, if you are willing to spend 200k to guarantee a passive income of 2k per month for a year, many people would be interested to help you.

    Using international SMS for 2FA while in Argentina

    Do you specifically want their phone for some reason? Why don't you buy a cheap phone here instead and send the SIM card only? I'm not sure about that. You might need to connect to a cell tower in the USA for activation. Ask them about it.

    Using international SMS for 2FA while in Argentina

    The data keeps changing. With any solution proposed, some say it works, others don't. There's a lot of mixed information. I haven't tried it myself; I manage to go by with Google Voice these days. Saying that, I've checked the specialized forums and Reddit once again. It seems that Tello is the...

    Using international SMS for 2FA while in Argentina

    "mail you that phone" implies dealing with customs here. However, an activated SIM card is likely to pass through using standard mail without issues. It's not much different from mailing a credit card that has a chip.

    Struggling to find an expat friendly brokerage firm for a Solo 401k

    "I don't answer" means you either state that you will not answer or go silent. If you provide an answer with your sister's address, you do answer the question.

    Using international SMS for 2FA while in Argentina

    Rich One, you've been trying for years to find a SIM suitable for bank verification. Do you still have any contacts in the US? It seems you no longer visit, but could someone there purchase a SIM card, activate it in your name, and then mail it to you? Perhaps you could invest in a $60 phone...

    Selling two used computers

    Atom-something? 2 core I3 from 2015? After the MacBook, be prepared for disappointment.

    Comparing US and BA schools

    I believe Darwin talked about the survival of the fittest animals, not those with wealthy parents.

    Do I as a tenant have to pay for excessive energy consumption?

    Why would he make such an extensive investigation on his own initiative? I believe that's what the courts are for. They would need to prove that fair usage was implied, even if it wasn't stated in the contract, and that he surpassed this limit.

    Do I as a tenant have to pay for excessive energy consumption?

    I would ask for a copy of the utility bill first. How much did you pay in the previous month? It's possible they Edesur have read the wrong meter, as this things happen. Or the landlord might have lost a state subsidy, which could account for the increase in cost. I am pretty sure nuclear...

    The Case For President Sergio Massa

    Need a US Bank that is not painful to use from Argentina

    OK, here we go. If you want to run your own VPN server, first rent a VPS. After that, run an installation script like the following: https://github.com/Nyr/openvpn-install https://github.com/Nyr/wireguard-install You will also need to learn some advanced Linux user skills like starting and...

    Need a US Bank that is not painful to use from Argentina

    Based on the "Virtual Numbers" in their menu, I would say they are probably as useful for 2FA as Google Voice, which you can get for free.

    Need a US Bank that is not painful to use from Argentina

    Sorry for potentially going back into a tech talk, but what is an advantage for an occasional user over a decent free VPN service like windscribe.com?

    Need a US Bank that is not painful to use from Argentina

    A typical computer user would never be able to do this. He does not care about hiding his location, either. So, all this hi-tech VPN talk does not make much sense here. Simply set up all the accounts while you're in the States. I'm aware of only one bank that insists on 2FA validation by...
