    US Green Fuel Push Threatens Argentina's Main Export Market

    https://www.batimes.com.ar/news/economy/us-green-fuel-push-threatens-argentinas-main-export-market.phtml I used the title of the story as the title of this thread, but it can be a bit confusing. It's not actually about fuel exports or exports to the USA. The gist of the story is that the USA...

    Subte Line B and the Canning / Malabia station.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Line_B_(Buenos_Aires_Underground) https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Línea_B_(subte_de_Buenos_Aires) (this one has a cool old pic of people riding the subte in 1938. The English page doesn't) I ride this one a lot, and I have noticed that the station Malabia has an...

    Milei and Tucker Carlson

    Interesting stuff. Tucker asks his questions in English. Milei replies in Castellano, but there are subtitles in English; you do not need to turn on the CC.

    Lord, what a storm!

    I don't know how it was in other parts of CABA, but here in Villa Urquiza it was downright tropical at several points. As is my way, I made the most of it, having some interesting chats with several people with whom I shared shelter under various awnings as we waited out the worst of it. Most...

    What's up with fast food prices?

    I found myself out looking for some dinner later than usual last night, after spending some 5 hours wrestling with a recalcitrant piece of software. Around 10pm, coming back from the ATM, I was walking up Tribunales, and I peeked into the McDonalds. At a quick glance, all the sizable hamburgers...

    How about this weather, eh?

    Aside from being a few degrees colder, it is literally the same in ADAK, for the love of God! Ushuaia is in-between the two, temp-wise, but at least not raining Though McMurdo is substantially worse, I will grant you

    Methane Emissions in Argentina

    To be clear, I'm neither a climate change denier nor an eco-warrior. My views lie somewhere in the middle. Moreover, this thread isn't about any of that; I'm not going to talk about effects or who's to blame or any of that political tripe. I just want to share with you all some of what I just...

    A chilly morning!

    When I woke up this morning, the weather report was showing 6c outside, call it 43F Not that I'm complaining, it just seems odd, given that we had summer-like temps a few days ago.

    US Gov't shutdown and SSA payments

    The good news is, apparently we will get paid on time even if there is a shutdown. https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/other/will-social-security-be-delayed-if-government-shuts-down-what-we-know/ar-AA1hujha The story above is painfully sloppy journalism, in that the question asked in the headline...

    Lord, is it really...a Ritz cracker?

    I haven't tried them yet, probably for reasons of Schrodinger's Cat. I mean, as long as the bag remains unopened, there's still a chance they might actually be good. TBH, I'm pretty sure they will be shite. I mean, they don't have even one escudo negro, how could they possibly be any good?

    Smoked Sausage?

    So I was watching this video about how to make Kapusniak - And it calls for smoked sausage; in the video they appear to be using Kielbasa, one of family's recipe favorites. But I have never seen kielbasa here in AR. Do any of you know of any locally available sausage that might fit as a...
