    Usb-Powered Portable Monitor Suggestions?

    If you have, or are looking for an excuse to buy, an iPad you can use it. Do a Google search for "use iPad as second monitor". I've never done it so can't say how well it works. (I think that you can do the same with an Android tablet.) Bob

    The Science Behind It

    I had acne problems in my 30s and it was because of whole milk products, e.g. butter. Skim milk is perfectly ok. But people differ. Certainly most people have no skin problems due to whole milk products. But I do. I was told by a very competent dermatologist to avoid whole milk products and...

    Good Steak In Recoleta

    Baked? Or microwaved? If properly baked there is a big difference in my opinion. Thanks, Bob

    A New Low........i Have Heard It All Now....................

    Very scary! Ajoknoblauch's idea to carry a receipt sounds like a good idea. Although the receipt from your bank does not prove that you brought the cash with you to BsAs. A similar idea, with the same problem, would be to record the serial numbers. But those two things might help you to get...

    We Cannot And Should Not Forget

    And that might be a fair match. My point was that the average citizen with the average size ego, e.g. yours truly, finds it tough to disagree with a military decision reached by the President and Congress and based on intelligence from the NSA, CIA, and Pentagon. A really wrong decision and a...

    We Cannot And Should Not Forget

    Certainly not! (I think that you might have misread my post - or maybe I didn't say what I meant very well.) At the time I was not sure that our involvement there was wrong. I respect and honor those that died there. And by the way I was in the US Army at the time and missed going to 'Nam by...

    We Cannot And Should Not Forget

    Well ... yes, we have to hold people accountable for their actions - as will as give them credit for their actions. But how many of the guys who served in Iraq do you think analyzed that war and determined that it was a war of choice. I think that the vast majority of them just thought that...

    You sure come from good stock GS. And you were a good grandson to pursue that Croix de Guerre. Bob

    We Cannot And Should Not Forget

    I think that there is very little glorification of war. Certainly not by those who have participated or those who have lost loved ones to a war. I suspect what you are seeing as glorification is remembrance, respect, and honoring of service and sacrifice. Bob

    What Common Mistakes Have You Made In Spanish?

    My Spanish is pretty poor. I don't get the difference between por atras and alla atras. And I don't see what is wrong with asking tienes huevos? I do know that huevo does not always mean egg. But my dictionary does not have an alternative. (I have always wondered how to ask "do you...

    Thieves In Starbucks- Av. De Mayo

    Details? Did she turn her back on it and it disappeared without her even being aware of it? Was it snatched from her hands? Was she punched in the face and then it was snatched from her? Thanks, Bob

    Just curious ... do you go through customs when returning from Colonia? Or, since it is also Mercosur, no customs? Thanks, Bob

    Death In The Streets: Venezuela Has Descended Into Chaos

    In my opinion all politicians say what they need to say to get elected, and do what they need to do to keep the contributions rolling in. If the treatment of illegal immigrants is something your are interested in I hope you are aware of the fact that 34,000 illegal immigrants must, by law, be...

    Death In The Streets: Venezuela Has Descended Into Chaos

    Is that the clip you meant to post? It's not a clip of Steve King saying anything. It's a clip of someone quoting Steve King - maybe cherry picking the quotes maybe not, maybe quoting out of context maybe not. Steve King might well be a jerk. But I'm not going to reach that conclusion based...

    Death In The Streets: Venezuela Has Descended Into Chaos

    Although I wouldn't say that the Republicans are immigrant friendly I also cannot recall any senior Republican politician blaming any US problems on the immigrant population. They spend 99% of their time blaming everything on Obama-care. They just don't have a lot of time to talk about...

    Blue Dollar - Over

    Well ... In my case it is 100% of my ForEx transactions! I experience the Arg economy as a whole with pesos purchased at the Blue rate. Bob

    Tony Benn's Advice Re: Cfk

    Wow! I thought I had made it clear that I didn't support letting people starve. You don't seem to have a very charitable opinion of someone who you perceive to have a position anywhere to the right of yours. If you think that I stand somewhere to the right of you, you are probably right...

    Tony Benn's Advice Re: Cfk

    ' Gee, NO!, I do not want a democracy in which people starve and/or die of ailments that could be arrested or prevented with appropriate care. I remain concerned about a democracy in which enough people depend on the government for their income to swing an election. Does that make me a...

    Tony Benn's Advice Re: Cfk

    I think in the US that most elected officials can be "recalled". But, if I am right about that, I don't understand why we don't exercise that option much more often. Bob

    Tony Benn's Advice Re: Cfk

    As an American my heart wants to be ashamed, but my brain is thinking maybe that's not a bad thing. Do you want, in a democracy, enough people dependent on the government for their income to swing an election? Bob
