Ugh, sympathies. 28c with not even a fan can be damned unpleasant, especially with the humidity we have here. How are the mosquitoes out there? And what's a quincho?

Well, that's a different take than what I would have expected from the Guardian. What happened to fawning over Milei's "economic miracle"? Perhaps the honeymoon is over.

I think there's a lot of truth in that. The two cuisines I grew up with were American Midwestern (meat and potatoes and two vegetables), and Mexican food, (refried beans, Spanish rice, tortillas, carne asada, carnitas, pozole, menudo, chiles rellenos, etc). The former, courtesy of my father's...

Milei's economic policies are looking more and more like a repeat of Macri, especially the whole "selling dollars to hold down the blue" scam. Now let's see if the IMF will repeat their past mistakes.

Looking at the two week forecast, they're predicting a high of 38c next Thursday, the 16th. Hopefully that will come down as the date approaches. 38 is disastrous, the power starts to go off over large parts of the city and you just want to die.

Fish & chips wrapped in an old newspaper and dripping with grease = heaven, while it's still hot. Nobody does it like in the UK. But there are all sorts of things you can build upon a bed of properly fried potatoes - chili fries, gravy fries, poutine... Jesus, now I'm hungry. But agreed that...

Limp and undercooked seems to be the norm here. Back when I lived in Retiro and I used to eat at the little Parrilla La Soñada once a week or so, I would always ask for my papas "bien dorado" and they would fry them up nice and golden for me. It was one of the many things I used to love about...

I can respect that, but I find Libertarians and Conservatives to be indistinguishable in their practical manifestation. I acknowledge and understand the differences in doctrine and theory, but when it comes to the practical effects of their policies, both favor the rich and screw the poor...

Let's try this the other way "At least he speaks Castellano, hates conservatives, and has met Cristina" How does that make you feel?

Well, yeah, but presumably, from the sound of it, it's just sitting on your butt using a PC. I would look into it, if I was in a position to do so. Another 600K pesos a month would do wonders for my financial situation. Delivering Rappi is dangerous work, and either involves a lot of physical...

Approximately 1/3 of all US ambassadors are political appointees, and you're right. They're amateurs, appointed as a political plum. IIRC, the previous ambassador had a chain of cheap furniture stores, and before Argentina was without an ambassador for about 8 years, because ... who knows...

A cereal bar? Seriously? That's so incredibly cheapskate.

I still haven't seen one. What color is it? The fact that the 2000 peso and 10000 peso notes are the same color annoys me severely. It's just too damn easy to confuse them after years of different values always being notably different colors. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I know US notes are all the same...

A while back, we had an ongoing thread talking about this, and several of us posted what rates we were being charged. I think it might be interesting to resume this practice. Today I bought groceries at the COTO and paid with my US VISA debit card. My bank charged me 1099 pesos to the dollar...

Mine is not in the account yet, but I see it as pending for Friday the 3rd. Including the magnificent, munificent 26 dollar COLA, woohoo! o_O

Yes, El Corralito. Do you expect that the theft of dollar-denominated bank accounts will also be repeated?
