    The vicepresident's murder attempt

    I hadn't seen this particular angle until now. My first thought: What is a normal reaction when someone shoves a pistol in your face? Do you recoil in horror, looking at your assailant, maybe throw your arm up in a defensive posture, or do you look at the ground as if you've dropped something...

    Still an American at heart

    Many times in threads like these I have been the devil's advocate. And it's the same story that I share: I went to a small (expensive) bakery in the US to buy some mixed cookies to take to a get-together - not my first experience with the bakery, but my first large purchase there. They put my...

    Jill Biden calls Latinos ‘breakfast tacos’

    Don't fool yourself...Trump said plenty that was less intelligible. But I'm talking about the fact that what she did was very clumsily try to point out the visibility and importance of Hispanic & Latino culture in the US. And if you'd ever had a breakfast taco in San Antonio, you'd agree!

    Nice that they included the video, demonstrating that the lede is a lie.

    New ARG banknotes will be printed with the faces of national heroes

    Not to mention that the "national heroes" on the previous issue Swiss notes were people of the arts and sciences, not political figures.

    Major US airlines are dropping the full mask covering during flights.

    I'm sure that'll work out just fine, knowing MAGA-heads. Ref: Ron DeSantis to high school kids at recent press conference.

    Letting out a flat on Airbnb platform-payout related questions

    I have an AirBnB in BA, and receive payments in USD to my account in USA, no matter the currency paid by the renter. In general, renters pay in their home currency and owners receive in their home currency..

    What do American expats miss the most about living in America?

    Being a native Texan, I'm afraid I have to step in here. If you said that in TX, you'd be taken to the shed. Milanesa = dredged in egg and coated with breadcrumbs. CFS = dredged in milk (or cream, or best, buttermilk) and egg mixture and coated with flour. Oh, and don't ever call grilled meat...

    What do American expats miss the most about living in America?

    In my opinion, there is plenty of good food in Argentina. The cuisine is limited, causing many here to criticize the lack of choices, and of course many love to criticize the general quality of many dishes. I enjoy the pizza in Argentina for example, but I know it's not like a great Neapolitan...

    Argentine women are the only thing I really don't like in Argentina.

    True that you weren't making a direct comparison between Argentinas and American women - in fact, you were comparing Argentinas to all other women on the planet. The first Argentina I became intimately involved with was/is direct, open, loving and devoted. Most of the others I know well (20 or...

    Argentine women are the only thing I really don't like in Argentina.

    If one wants to generalize, I'll take Argentine women over women American women any day.
