    Roku, Chromecast with Google TV, Amazon Fire Stick in Argentina

    https://www.theverge.com/2021/12/8/22823949/roku-google-youtube-tv-deal-multiyear-extension It looks like Roku reached a deal with Youtube, so it’ll be available still on the device. Might it be better to go with a Roku instead of Amazon Fire Stick? I believe Roku is available in Argentina...

    Keeping US cell phone number for text & talk when moving there

    Must you have already activated and be using the physical sim for this to work in the event your phone gets broke, or is it ok to order a physical sim and keep it on the side for emergencies? I spoke to Google Fi customer support and told them the issue and she said if you’re outside the...

    Buenos Aires is in the top 10 of the cheapest cities in the world

    I don’t believe those are all the things I listed about things wrong with Texas. A major part of my list was the issues that minorities face here. There are bad people everywhere, but in Texas there is a high amount of the additional evil which I mentioned that seems just not worth it for me...

    Buenos Aires is in the top 10 of the cheapest cities in the world

    No. I’m older than that. Went to college in the Mid 90’s.

    Buenos Aires is in the top 10 of the cheapest cities in the world

    I don’t know about the non-Buenos Aries Argentina, actually some of it doesn’t seem very good. But from what I can tell Buenos Aries seems decent. I’ll see soon hopefully. If it doesn’t work out I can always try another thing, but this Texas, Southern USA type of thing isn’t for me, with some...

    Buenos Aires is in the top 10 of the cheapest cities in the world

    Alabama sound very bad. There were 3 white men on trial for shooting a black man when trying to make a citizen’s arrest, not sure if they’re from Alabama or something like that. They got convicted but I think the media attention might have helped with that. Much of the time probably these...

    Keeping US cell phone number for text & talk when moving there

    That’s a good idea. What about popular Argentinian wireless providers, do they accept esim usually? I have dual sim phone so if I use a physical Google Fi sim then my only other option is to use an esim for other providers.

    Keeping US cell phone number for text & talk when moving there

    If your phone breaks can’t you just get another phone and esim it again with Google fi?

    Airbnb payments in USD

    I just reported what airbnb says is their terms of service if you chose to use their website and agree to those terms, and that I’m not comfortable going against that to try to save some money, for reasons of not wanting risking doing something dishonest, and not wanting to potentially get in...

    Airbnb payments in USD

    Are you saying this is not true or that customer service rep misunderstood? Or that what airbnb is doing isn’t legal? When I asked airbnb yesterday if after staying at a place and wanting to do a long term lease, like 6 months for example (mentioned this specifically), is this allowed to do...

    Airbnb payments in USD

    Ok, looks like there’s also the service fee, which seems very significant, at least 10% is one case I’ve seen, can be up to 14% of the total charge. Yes, that’s very high. I don’t know, still doesn’t seem worth it to me to go outside the rules. But I can see why people don’t like to pay it...

    Airbnb payments in USD

    I’m comfortable paying with a US credit card and not having to worry about dealing with cash, not having to worry about that the price I’m getting is not the blue rate, if I understood that correctly. And getting a 2% cash back on my credit card purchase which should cover some of the airbnb...

    Airbnb payments in USD

    But when I checked with airbnb about this they said it would be breaking their rules. Not sure if there are different rules in Argentina, but they even showed me the exact part of the rule which I posted earlier.

    Airbnb payments in USD

    I used their customer service chat on their website to plan ahead to see what the rules are if I want to negotiate a long term rental. Now I know and won’t be breaking their rules and risking getting banned from their important service. They also mentioned that a good thing about this rule is...

    Airbnb payments in USD

    I chatted with Airbnb customer support and they said it’s not allowed to negotiate any deal, such as long term rental, that’s to be done outside of the Airbnb platform. It must all be done within the platform, but you can negotiate it and the host can make changes within the platform. They’re...

    Are masks mandatory outdoors and indoors?

    Got into a scuffle with three chorros at Starbucks- will they seek revenge?

    I did a little research but couldn’t find any info on how they do it. Maybe someone else knows. However, a faraday room may not be that hard to make. They even have faraday blankets, so they could make it a mobile “room,” like in a van, or just a plain van that they park somewhere and quickly...

    Got into a scuffle with three chorros at Starbucks- will they seek revenge?

    Yeah, ok. Maybe they don’t do that. There must be an easier way. I have no idea actually.

    Got into a scuffle with three chorros at Starbucks- will they seek revenge?

    Interesting about Iphones. I didn’t know that. If the device is useful to them somehow, parts or whatever, I’m guessing they could put the phone in a faraday container, maybe wrap it in aluminum foil or something like that, to keep the signal from going out, and then they can take it to a...

    Got into a scuffle with three chorros at Starbucks- will they seek revenge?

    USA has major culture problems. As someone of Middle East decent I experience lots of hardship in Texas, and one of the main reasons I want to go to a different place. The fact that someone like Trump came to power is a sign of what I’m talking about, and these people may not be done yet. Pre...
