When 200g of butter goes for a price in excess of 2K, maybe closer to 2600 depending on the brand, (quoting from what I saw at the Big Coto here in Villa Urquiza day before yesterday), those wages seem quite modest.

Wait 15 minutes and Steve will find you one on Mercado Libre, with free delivery.

Not a good idea, in my opinion. Historically, Argentina's policy of neutrality has served it well. Inviting the wars of Europeans to come back to Latin America is insanity.

You know, that is actually a really good idea!

Thanks for the info, and the impeccable links. I have to say, the P-3's seem horribly expensive for clapped out old hardware; your link 3 mentions that the P-3's are already decommissioned, and being pulled out of the Arizona boneyard. Yet the purchase price is 100 million, and another 50...

Off topic? I mean, this could turn into a nasty argument real quick, given how charged an issue that is. Of course, TWB started it, but...

This is the central question, indeed. Presumably it's just a question of, every nation needs at least a certain minimal number of minimally viable fighter aircraft, and Argentina's military has been woefully neglected since the Malvinas war. Personally, I'm inclined to think that a dozen...

I don't know who does the front-page graphics for Pagina12, but whoever it is, they have a wicked sense of humor. Given his comments on the subject of Socialists, including when he called them "un excremento humano", I can think of few things that would infuriate him more. Link to story below...

Yes, agreed about the F-16 being versatile and proven, but those particular airframes are still 40 years old. Four decades worth of metal fatigue is a factor to be considered. Those A-4Q's Argentina bought from Uncle Sam for $50, 000 apiece just in time for the Malvinas War were only about half...

I still see them at my local chino

It is weird, is it not, that we are in such a major coffee-producing region of the world, and yet selection is limited and prices are high to very high? I miss being able to walk into Trader Joe's, choose from 10-12 different varieties of whole bean coffee, and pay only 5 to 8 dollars for 10 or...

Cafe Martinez sells ground coffee. The Colombian is the best, but it's going for 14K per 250g last time I looked. If you can accept the Brazilian stuff, that's quite a bit less pricey. Personally, I'm drinking black tea right now. If you can find "té en hebras" or loose tea, rather than the damn...

What we call HFCS is here called JMAF = Jarabe de Maiz Alta Fructosa I'm not sure that is equal to the old fashioned Karo syrup I remember from when I was a kid, it might be something nasty for your health. All in all, as a cook, I'd suggest you make your own syrup. Here's a place to start -...

Oh, that can't be good.

According to live coverage by C5N, bus drivers are on strike throughout AMBA (Buenos Aires Metropolitan Area). They are saying at least 140 lines are affected by the strike. This doesn't mean every single bus. They are currently listing all the lines that are affected, and saying that about 70...

Star+ does indeed have a ton of sports. Personally, I subbed only to watch the new version of SHOGUN, (which compares favorably to the 1980's Richard Chamberlain version in some ways, and not so favorably in others).

Very interesting, Reply Guy, thank you. For the convenience of others, here's a link to the Google Translated version, with the usual caveats - the banner is in Castellano and story will initially appear in that tongue, but wait a few seconds and it will change to English...

This is English-style cheddar which, while undoubtedly the original and most authentic, is very different from American-style cheddar; it has a sour taste to it that most of us don't really care for. California mild cheddar is something I have never seen here. There is always the fake stuff...
