4. I ran a WA message from a driver through the translator, and it couldn't understand it either. I felt a bit vindicated when my local amiga couldn't understand half of it; but she figured out enough for me to hire the flete. In person, I could hear him better; especially the curses as they...

If your budget is like mine, Ejército de salvación in Pompeya for furniture, plates, art, and random things, Barrio Once for random kitchen stuff, FB Marketplace for stuff like lamps and kettles. I've found Rodo has good appliance prices. I'm still on the hunt for a glass vase blender for less...

I can only dream of dreaming in Spanish! I was out with a bunch of people speaking spanish the other night, all good until they started drinking and interrupting each other and one told a rapid-fire joke that was apparently hilaaaaaaarious. I was ready for bed after that. Totally left in the...

It sounded indian to me... If you listen to the English UK track, it has people speaking their actual languages and not AI dubbing.

Looking at online pictures, it does look like a Rogel!

For sure there's a lot to be gained for Argentina! Today talking heads are saying Trump, Elon, and Vivek will 'take a chainsaw' to the Federal budget, Milei-style (no mention of Congress' role). And here's a photo-op with Trump, Elon and Javier: a graphic element for the news page about the...

He's been meeting with Musk for a year. Everyone is still waiting for something to trickle down...

MilHojas, every time I see your profile pic I get hungry. Where can I find that dessert in the photo?

Some people on Reddit seem convinced that Milei will broker a free-trade relationship with the USA; as in, no tariffs, zero, zilch, on either side. That seems a bit whimsical with a President-elect Trump who ran on tariffs to offset domestic tax cuts, but we shall see. Milei has certainly been...

Is this how miles gets rid of public health? Not by announcing it, but by making it financially impossible? He's probably doing the same with universities. I remember asking a conservative Argentine years ago if candidates ever run on adapting an "American" privatized system and he said they'd...

I have no idea, like so many things in BA I heard about events after the fact, never before. Maybe you have to get on a list or make a donation or something? I was vaguely aware of when he was doing that singing thing downtown, but I figured it would be a mob. I love a spectacle even if I didn't...

I'm not sure about the exact date, but there's really not much to see (unless you're an Argentine and can vote?). They close down most of the bars the night before, or just serve soft drinks (no drinking and voting!), and voting is on a Sunday, so people are out and about as usual; they quietly...

I'll be there around 5!

It was equally random for me. First time a man said they'd mail it, then when it didn't come a woman just handed it to me. For my second address, the police looked at the delivery slip for a couch and my ID, and gave it to me with a smile. I get the impression this is not a process they deal...

https://www.lanacion.com.ar/sociedad/la-uta-anuncio-un-paro-de-colectivos-para-el-jueves-31-de-octubre-en-el-amba-nid28102024/ Guess I'll stay local.

I got mine same day. They just hand it to you.

This is what I did in March of this year. Then again in September when I had a new address. In the first case I brought my lease to the local police station, they said they'd mail it to me to prove my address. Never came. I went back and they issued the domicilio on the spot, without checking...

The thing I'm curious about is the height of the railing on the balcony. Is there a building code down here? Is it followed? Two girls couldn't push him off if the railing was sufficiently high... Every time I'm squeezing past someone in the balcony of teatro Colón I'm reminded I'm a lot taller...

I'll try to come!

For furniture if you're not choosy the ejercito de salvación in Pompeya has dressers, tables etc. it's good for buying in bulk if you have to furnish a whole place fast. Marketplace is great but it has you running all over the city and meeting flakey people who may or may not be there when you...
