I don't know about today, but as of Jan/Feb/Mar of this year I was able to change dollars to pesos at a Supervielle branch on Las Heras. Bob

Several months ago I installed a Netgear N300 WiFi Range Extender Model WN3000RP (in the US) and I am very happy with it. According to the User Manual it requires 100–240V 0.1 A, 50–60 Hz. I recall that setup was fairly easy but does require some knowledge of home networking. Sorry that...

None-the-less I agree with both of you. But I'd add that part of Trump's appeal is that he doesn't take an opinion poll to find out what he thinks. (At least it seems that he doesn't.) And he thinks, as best he can, on his own - he doesn't let political correctness rules do his thinking for...

No small claims courts in Argentina?

But if you want to kill a lot of people, and don't care who, and go to events which are attended by a huge number of people, isn't just shooting into the crowd good enough? I would think so. Bob

I think that lack of assimilation is a real problem in general. I recall shortly after 9/11 60 Minutes interviewed students at an Islamic high school in Chicago. They all said that they believed the terrorists went straight to heaven for their actions. These weren't recent immigrants by the...

A couple of thoughts ... 1) Maybe a fork since the guy who walked in would likely shoot all of the people with weapons first; 2) If I want to kill a few people in a restaurant and have to worry about a few people in the restaurant being armed, then instead of using a gun I might use something...

In an earlier post you said "the object is not the problem but instead it’s the behavior that needs to be changed", and so I was asking how you would change behavior. Bob

Normally I'd support an indictment, but not in this case when it would increase the chance of Trump becoming president. Comey went with the lesser evil I'm glad he did. Bob

The number of people opposed to tighter gun controls is greatly influenced by all the money the NRA and gun manufacturers spend on advertising. Sadly, most people (at least in the US) let sound bites do their thinking for them. Do you have any ideas on how to change behavior? How about...

I appreciate the education several of you provided on the Second Amendment. So, ok, assuming that the Second Amendment means what several of you claim, is there any solution to tragedies such as Sandyhook, Columbine, etc.? Bob

"A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed." ​Those of you who defend the second amendment ... what do you think the first half of the amendment is there for? Has it no qualifying or...

Several months ago I changed US dollars to pesos several times at the Superville branch on Las Herras between Pueyrredón and Austria. And I do not have an account there. Getting past the automation kisok the first time was not straightforward. Tell the security guard that you want to change...

"They can also use a knife, a machete, a hammer, a baseball bat, a chainsaw, a frozen leg of lamb, etc. The damage inflicted would (at least on average) be less severe if a gun was not used." And way, way, less severe if an assault weapon was not used. "Omar Mateen and Adam Lanza were...

Three comments: 1) And "end" to violence is not going to happen but wouldn't a reduction be worthwhile? Fewer guns floating around must lead to fewer shootings and fewer deaths. It's sort of like speed limits. Reducing the speed limit does not end crashes but results in fewer crashes and...

But couldn't a democracy reserve some inalienable rights which cannot be taken away by the majority. Say freedom of thought and exp<b></b>ression, freedom of religion, freedom of assembly. I have a very shallow understanding of libertarianism. Unless it promotes complete freedom for...

That strikes me as a rather strange statement considering that Omar Mateen obtained his weapons legally. I know it can be argued that he was no boy scout, but that's part of the problem - "law-abiding" is not black and white. But moreover, even boy-scout level law-abiding folks get drunk and...

Also, I hope, the time finally to do something to reduce the probability of such mass killings in the future. Bob

Uber and Lyft left Austin, and then ... http://upstart.bizjournals.com/companies/startups/2016/05/23/nonprofit-uber-alternative-springs-from-local-tech.html

I was using PureVPN (on an iPad) as recently as two weeks ago but I don't know if it still works today. Bob
