    Yosi, the Regretful Spy on Prime Video

    I finished Season 1 and only just started Season 2. I was very interested in seeing what was shared about the series, the content, etc. I think it’s a good series, as far as I’ve seen. Being an outsider (not Jewish and not Argentine-born), I like to watch a mix of documentaries and historical...

    Coffee Chat on TUESDAY, Jan 14 at Pinot Café in Palermo

    Great chat today! I was asked about online Spanish tutoring options…this is one that was great 12 years ago, and looks like it’s still active: https://www.italki.com/en/teachers/spanish

    Second computer monitor (take, buy, or suck-it-up?)

    Ultimately, you’re paying for the convenience to work easily. Over the span of ~20 days, would you pay ~$200/per for the ability to work more effectively? Otherwise framed, would that loss of effective working cost you more than $200/per? I adjusted using just my laptop screen, but my husband...

    Long Way Up

    Yeah, I'm not sure how I feel about how quietly they drive. I like the ability to hear them coming on the road so I don't accidentally cause them harm if I don't see them. Seems like a rough start having started their journey on electric vehicles in the desolate Patagonia roads and smaller...

    Long Way Up

    If you haven't seen it, check out the new docu-series by Ewan McGregor where he and his best friend drive e-motorcycles from Ushuaia to Los Angeles in three months. Lots of good South America footage.

    Epicenter of Pandemic in Latin America now becoming Argentina

    One more thing to add...several of my colleagues in NY have had family members die alone in hospitals over the past several months. I can’t even imagine being on any side of that scenario (victim, family member, or healthcare professional), but I do know I don’t want to experience it first hand...

    Epicenter of Pandemic in Latin America now becoming Argentina

    While death is certainly the worst possible outcome, we’ve yet to understand the longterm effects of having contracted COVID-19. Two people in my closer circle had contracted it in May, have recovered from COVID-19 (meaning they now test negative for the active virus), however neither of them...

    Arrest record during immigration?

    I second the suggestion to contact a residency lawyer due to the legal complexity. It’s nowhere near the cost of citizenship and is a much shorter process (pre-COVID, that is, not sure about now). Convivencia was mentioned, and I know several who have gone this route and through the same...

    So coronavirus will magically leave Argentina on April 13?

    First US case was January 19th. US is now extended to April 30th, with 155k+ cases and 2800+ deaths. Any end date in April is ambitious.

    Psychological effects of the quarantine

    I’ve been using video chatting technology more often than before, outside of work, which was my primary use. With so many phones with cameras, it makes this easy. Facetime, facebook messenger video, whatsapp video, zoom, and many others available. If you’re adventurous, you set up a group chat...

    When will life return to normal?

    How has this changed Argentine traditions (ie. Sunday asado, mate, saludos)?

    How to Be a Hipster

    Back then, when coffee chat changed location each time, we probably fit in well with that crowd. Birkin produced the two largest coffee chats, at 18 and 24 attendees (and they never threw us out back then). Expensive place but had great bench seating for us hipsters ;).

    Uber's dark side...

    I take uber all the time (not just in BA), never felt unsafe. I have been overcharged by taxis, have had friends who have had issues in taxis with taxi drivers. Are taxis held to the standard that ride share companies are these days? Serious question, because I don’t know; but if it matters to...
