    Chorizo opinions

    Why would you exclude actual carnicerias who make chorizo in house using high quality fresh ingredients? All large corporate food has similar compromises made for profit, shelf life, and scale. Its Industrial. Buy from a single store owner operated carniceria, they are actually usually pretty...

    Disappointed with Food in Argentina

    Uruguay has many areas that are quite remote from big cities. Certainly there are higher and lower prices. But I was amazed at the everyday prices in non-tourist areas. We did not visit Punta, and in Montevideo we stay in downtown, not Pocitos or Punta Carretas or even Ciudad Viejas. Just...

    Disappointed with Food in Argentina

    I dont go to big box stores, and aside from Montevideo I didn’t see any Tienda Inglesas in the small rural areas I was in. But online, it says a miga at TI is 330 ur pesos, which is about 8$ us. I did go to a fresh market, which is part of the Devoto chain, and their sandwiches were all over ten...

    I need to vent. Fatal shootings in Minnesota

    Also, this Andy Ngo guy is as far from a credible source as you can get.He is an “ influencer” who makes his living posting unprovable assertions, mostly about “ antifa” on his phone. Like Trump, he engages in high publicity lawsuits which he consistently loses. He is, basically, an entertainer.

    This guy exists. He has been arrested. There is zero proof anywhere that he is a “ member” of any group.

    I need to vent. Fatal shootings in Minnesota

    No one has ever voted for “antifa”. There is no party, no candidates, and no organization. It would be like voting for “exercise” or “ weight loss”. Many people are opposed to facism, thats a personal belief, just like some people believe in god, or the benefits of only eating meat. You cant...

    I need to vent. Fatal shootings in Minnesota

    In my home state of Washington, a barber must complete approximately 8 months of full time training, to be able to cut hair, vs the 47 days before you can wear a mask, carry automatic weapons, and make warrantless “ arrests” as an ICE agent. 2 years of classroom training and 2 years of...

    I dont know a single 70 year old american in my home area there, Skagit County, who doesnt depend on immigrants, some of whom are undocumented, for planting, harvesting and packing the crops, working in every restaurant, doing most of the construction work, yard work, home, hospice, and health...

    I need to vent. Fatal shootings in Minnesota

    Its true that 50 years ago or more the Montoneros, who were mostly from the upper middle class, killed somewhere around 500 people, mostly military officers and police. And then, the government killed 5000 Montoneros, and 30,000 or so civilians. And its certainly true that Peron, and other...

    I need to vent. Fatal shootings in Minnesota

    except neither openly carry guns every day... and the Ks and the anti Ks are sort of mutable here. One day a Bullrich is a Montonero, the next a Mileinesa. I know quite a few families with both at the dinner table here, and they manage not to kill each other.

    I need to vent. Fatal shootings in Minnesota

    I am not a fan of open carry, I think the gun laws in the USA should be changed. BUT- if you are doing something 100% legal under current laws, and within ONE MINUTE you are pepper sprayed, wrestled to the ground by 8 armed officers, disarmed, beaten, and then shot ten times, I find it hard to...

    Argentina welcomes Chinese vehicles

    I dont see how the $16,000 price can apply to Ford Territory, for example, which currently is on Mercado Libre for more like $35,000. I wonder if the first $16,000 is duty free, as long as its electric or hybrid, and then they pay duty on the rest? The Citroen C4, for example, has a 22,000 euro...

    Argentina welcomes Chinese vehicles

    Its really interesting that a big part of this is Ford, GM, and Stellantis. In most countries, it would be all Chinese, as the recent deal between Canada and China indicates. But the Big 3 all sem to have sup $16,000 evs, which is kind of amazing.

    I need to vent. Fatal shootings in Minnesota

    I am guessing since he never touched his gun, and he had a clear second amendment right to have it, that he was thinking that it was irrelevant to observing and filming something in a 100% legal fashion. Certainly its possible he was thinking Trump would pardon him, as Trump has pardoned many...
