    US Embassy: presidential election voting reminder for citizens in ARG

    Same with Colorado. Very easy to vote. The person who asked about the embassy should lookat his state's info online, that would determine it, not the feds.

    Is there an Uber app for fletes?

    I'm looking at a small wardrobe today and since I won't know I'm buying it until I see it, it's hard to schedule a flete days in advance. Too big for a cab... But would probably fit in a miniflete. I searched online and I found a few but they all seem to have failed.

    Once-bustling Buenos Aires restaurants hustle for customers

    I can't believe all the new coffee places in Villa Crespo, and they're not cheap. They aren't exactly full either. I don't get what they were thinking, but they probably all opened up in the past year. It's weird. They're charging very close to USA prices.

    If not, there should be.

    Gym - Walkable from Chacarita

    Any nice gyms in Villa Crespo? I'm thinking I'll just walk up to XXL on Scalabrini, because their prices were reasonable 2 years ago... not sure what they would be now, of course they don't publish them...

    Trump injured after being shot while speaking at a campaign rally

    Yeah, I'm guessing either there wasn't good communication between the local PD and SS, or there was just confusion. I heard one report that a cop scaled the ladder to investigate, was confronted by the shooter, and ducked down; whereupon the shooter immediately took his shot. I would imagine the...

    "Carmen": The Passionate Icon Returns to the Teatro Colón

    I just bought my tickets online for the other operas this season... will be back in September, woo hoo. (the other operas aren't as 'popular' as Carmen, but you can get seats up in the nosebleed for around $10 USD, and I've never been to an opera there that wasn't awesome)

    Yoga in English

    I hear ya. When I was taking yoga in my Palermo gym, not only was it in spanish (which is fine) but they had 'soothing' new age music playing so I could barely hear the instructor. Which they also do in USA (alas), but it's advanced comprehension to understand barely audible 2nd language.

    Daily maid rate per hour

    Wow the asado index shows a large leap since the end of Feb (I came back to the states to do some stuff around that time)... is that general inflation across the board, or is beef out of proportion? I had been reading that inflation rate is coming down.

    How much more are you paying for your health (prepaga) insurance?

    Mr. Market promised that wealth would inevitable trickle down, luxury housing construction would lower prices, and free market healthcare would result in competition. Mr. Market is frequently led astray.

    Anyone missed the police visit for the certificado de domicilio?

    Hunh. I need the Certificado de domicilio, the police said they would mail it to me (I brought ID and a bill). Never got it, 2 weeks later. I guess I'll visit again.

    Need help with renting

    My first time here (years ago) I used bytargentina.com , which seemed to be more 'regulated' than Craigslist or FB or whatnot. At the time I had to physically go to the byt office and sign contracts and give them the money (this was back in 2014 or 2015?), but they didn't demand a deposit. It...

    Anyone know a good tax/immigration consultant?

    I'm still trying to figure out whether it makes sense to apply for temporary/permanent residency or continue as a yearly tourist, and a lot has to do with taxes. I read online various 'facts' as to how long you reside in country before becoming a tax resident (after 9 months a year? after 12...

    Boise, Idaho anyone?

    Looks like Wyoming is the only state spared in a 500 warhead strike. Not that I would recommend it to live. One of my friends left BA for Pittsburg a couple years ago and seems to like it. YMMV, of course. Cold at times.

    The global business elite is infatuated with Milei

    His first trip abroad? What about the USA? They need a fact checker.

    Boise, Idaho anyone?

    I live in Boulder CO when Iḿ not down here. Its gotten very expensive, and for years I told people they should consider Boise because it has a lot of the charm (university, small city layout, surrounded by beautiful nature) and at the time it was maybe half the price. I think a lot of people...

    Unregistered SUBE cards face higher transportation costs

    From what I've read, they're discounting for people on assistance, jubilados, etc. I guess there's really no reason for non-DNI people to register? Or are they just punishing anonymity...

    Unregistered SUBE cards face higher transportation costs

    I guess foreigners will pay the higher fee... there's a space for DNI, right? Passport number doesn't cut it.

    What’s going on with the cost of living?

    If you're interested in taking music lessons, this is a great time. I've heard of $8 lessons from pros, I pay $20 for a nearly 2 hour lesson with the #1 guy I would want to study with. Anything 'labor' is cheap, luxury goods are expensive. If you mostly cook at home or eat at local places and...
