    Muchachos, la película de la gente (2023) - movie about 2022 World Cup

    I wasn't able to watch this movie in Argentina, and I'm back in the States now... but it finally showed up on the torrents. However, I'd like to find English subtitles for it (typically a .srt file).. is there a good movie sleuth who can find this? Partially because I don't understand all of...

    Ukraine media coverage - US vs. Argentina?

    I'm not currently in Argentina, but I'm trying to get a feel for the media coverage from Argentina media versus US media about the situation in Ukraine.

    This may actually be DB Cooper (2021)

    I just watched this youtube video, all 2 hours and 48 minutes of it. This guy is long winded, but if you're interested in the DB Cooper case, it may be worth watching it. Richard McCoy Jr was one of the suspects. In 2020, McCoy's mother died, and his wife died. In this video, his two kids...

    Email from Santander about bank account monthly fees

    Santander recently sent me a mail saying (I think) if I want to keep my "SuperCuenta" account "bonificada" (avoid the monthly fees), I have to do 1 of 4 things, like have a salary deposited automatically, etc. This confused me a little because they already charge me about 500 pesos per month...

    Is there a COVID test where they don't stick something up your nose?

    For returning to the US, I need a covid test. I've used Centralab and CDRossi in the past, they both stuck something pretty far into my cranium. Is there a spit test or something here? These are the acceptable kinds of tests: NAAT: RT-PCR, RT-LAMP, TMA, NEAR, HDA, or Antigen: Rapid

    What ever happened to...

    I find it interesting how some news stories just seem to disappear never to be heard from again. What happened to that American guy in Chile who opened fire on people and made a youtube video? What happened to Carlos Ghosn? This could have been the coolest story of the year.
