That's not true. Last month I noticed that an exchange house had placed the 500 dollars worth of pesos I had bought in an envelope along with the 500 dollars I had bought them with. I turned around and went half an hour back to them while listening to my argentine business associate try to talk...

Nope! I'll happily pack and un pack it in front of anyone who can help out. Or I'll have the packaging and shipping label all separate and they can pack it themselves in the US.. There is nothing shady here. I had a run of shitty luck last week and my raincoat fell off a coat hanger at the...

If anybody is going or knows someone who is you could really help me out! Thanks,

Yes

Nice to see you back Redpossum.

I need a favor. It does not involve drugs, money, or poker tournaments. Rather I just need a small package flown to the US and then dropped in a mailbox once there. I can compensate you for the trouble if necessary.

Will we be eating sweet spleens?

That's because you live in peronist fantasy land where inflation is 10% a year, insecurity is just a sensation, there is no cepo al dolar, and building the world's longest bridge 45km across the rio de la plata would cost less than 350kms of highway built along existing roadways with no major...

I think you're confused about your own semantics. You talk about how efficiently electricity is produced from energy sources. Photovoltic cells you mention are 16% Hydroelectric generators are over 90% Coal around 42% Nuclear 0.3% However that is not useful for making any descions if you...

The point of my argument is this: If you can produce electricity with 50% efficiency by burning $100 bills or at 10% efficiency when running on dogshit you're better off burning the poo poo.

You're not still trying to justify that stupid graph you posted a few pages back are you? I'm actually with you in the sense that I don't think solar panels are a realistic solution to our energy needs. However, implying that one source of energy generation is better than another because of...

I found this publication linked to in a wikipedia article which has a very very detailed analysis of the costs of solar energy specifically in germany. I haven't read it all but if you're interested in the subject it might be worth skimming.

It'd be interesting to see how that number was calculated. Electricity production, by any means, is characterized by a massive initial cost and much smaller ongoing costs. The cost per unit of subsidizing the construction of new power plants can't be directly compared the cost of producing...

Congratulation on finding an almost completely irrelevant graph to support your point.

Argentine tourists may have been the motivation for that route, but building a 4 lane highway is a lot cheaper than a bridge of the sort being talked about in this thread. Argentine tourists also pay for that route with the tolls (which are expensive). I guess it depends on what your...

And usually not with full boats. I think there is a small demand for a link between colonia and bsas and that that demand is being adequately served by the existing ferry service. I don't think there is anywhere close to the demand which would justify a colossally expensive bridge to...

Sounds like lots of money to solve a problem that doesn't really exist.

Most white collar workers I know have either OSDE or Galeno through their employer. I don't think it's that rare.

I'm not sure about getting new $5 pesos notes. I think they're too busy printing $100s to put out anything else. I'm keeping the faith though. I'm looking forward to the dozen of empanadas I'll be able to buy with my winnings.
