I dislike Milei, but calling him a "small satellite" seems kinda snarky even to me. Still, if this could be the only decent thing Bill Cosby ("I'll send your sister to the moon!") did in his life, and its still better than leaving him here to wreak havoc.

I got one. Three, actually, one here and 2 in north america. One is in a rental. other two in my own two abodes. But I still hand wash a certain amount of things, and sometimes prescrub dirty dishes. Old Guy, Old School. I wont put kitchen knives in one, even stainless. Well, especially stainless.

I like shopping, I like food, I like cooking. I actually find washing dishes kind of theraputic. We cook a fair amount, and its more like 40 minutes total, including cleanup. There are several good home delivery weekly organic produce and vegetable services, where you get 10 kilos or more of...

My current favorite pizzas in CABA: la mezzetta, roma abasto, furore on esmerelda near corrientes, parodi on belgrano, electrica pizza vegeteriana in palermo, la sorrellina in colegiales, and antonios on tacuari.

The original punto y banca was one of my favorites. Old pictures of race horses owned by the owner and his friends, it was a classic pizzeria. Unfortunately Kentucky bought it and now it serves the same factory made product that the other 100 or so Kentucky locations do. I used to go to...

Maybe he meant Donnet. Its a mushroom heavy vegan restaurante near Federico La Croze.

A donat may be related to a donair, which is the Halifax Canada version of a turkish doner, which in Argentina is called a shwarma. As Hakim Bey once said, Cultural Drift is Sacred Drift.

You need Cambodians if you want good donuts. No Cambodians in BA, so I steer clear of the donuts. https://www.bbc.com/news/stories-54546427

all four of those towns are within 35 km of each other. Thats only one of dozens of different beach areas, from just past La Plata to waay down by Reta, or even Playas Doradas. many many more options exist.

as far as I am aware, the USA still has EB 5 investor visas, which start at an $800,000 investment, up to $1.1 million depending on the details of the investment, and the investment can be a business, or, in some cases, real estate. These give you a green card and a defined path to citizenship...

It is extremily common in the USA for landlords to require tenants to have insurance. It does not replace separate property owners insurance, but it cover tenant caused problems and protects tenants as well. This is certainly not an Argentina only issue. I have been a landlord, and I have...

I lived around the corner from that Acadamia for 15 years. It sucks. Its always sucked. For really good fugazetta, you have to walk 3 more blocks to los muchachos de punto y banco, on Mansilla and Guise. If you ask for it browned there, they will do it for you. And their frito empanadas...

I just looked on mercado libre, and there is a 20,000,000 Okm cronos there. Actually a bunch of em. Everything I ever buy on Mercado Libre is the cost they say it is. Is that somehow different for cars? here is one in San Isidro ro 19,999.999 pesos there are at least 4 other types of brand new...

hmm- I have actually "compromised" by buying food, cooking it, and washing dishes all my life. Seems completely normal to me. I did a lot of the cooking when my kids were still in the house for the first 18 years or so, and often had to make a couple different versions of some things. To me...

I am wearing a pair of their frames right now. I have 3 different palo santo frames, one is wood, the other two are actually fabric- fabric reinforced with resin. They are tough as nails, and I am really really tough on glasses- I am a welder and metalworker. I also have a couple of pairs of...

I rented a cronos for a week in catamarca last year, and I liked it. It’s the best selling car in Argentina, and made in Argentina. The one we got had a cvt auto transmission, which is considered to be a minus in US cars, but it was fine. I have a Honda fit with a cvt in the states, so I looked...

A couple of weeks ago my son and his girlfriend came to visit, and they work in the restaurant industry- we had amazing meals at Gran Dabbang, Picaron, Nino Gordo, and several other restaurants here. They seemed to thing everything was, if not cheap, very reasonably priced compared to the places...

This is true for what they call queso de maquina. But the cheese on McDonalds Hamburgers is no better. I find that fast food, anywhere, has the cheapest ingredients, especially corporate fast food. (buying blue corn Tlacoyos in Mexico City being a prominent exception to this rule, but you buy...

End up in Jail? Serio? Once in a while they bust a large company that is exchanging literally millions of dollars. But cuevas exist all over town, many up to 15 years old. The Economist is parroting the party line of the extreme wealthy. I just had to stop at a corner while a new Maserati...

Argentina still exports cars and trucks. 7 major global manufacturers have factories here. Australia and NZ are not my area of expertise, but most countries that only export raw materials have pretty low standards of living. The countries that are industrialized, which add value to raw...
