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.

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.

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.

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...

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...

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.

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

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...

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...

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

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...

Just out of curiosity, how did you decide to come to BA? If you want a clean situation with less chance of crime and poop, I would think Belgrano or Villa Urquiza or maybe Palermo Hollywood would be less 'poopy' than areas closer to downtown. But it's a pretty gritty place at the moment, not...

That is it exactly. Well done!

This is the way. I did it a few weeks ago, no bleach and disinfectant involved. Took about an hour in the morning, but I speak a bit of spanish and brought a printout of my migraciones record from the government website (I doubt I could find it again or I'd send you a link). It would have been...

Wow that looks cool for $16 a year... is that true? swimming and gym as well? I like badminton but I havent played in a while.

I don't remember much of prices in 1999 (the first time I came here), but I do remember paying $5 for a lomo sandwich in an average restaurant downtown, and thinking it was cheap compared to a steak sandwich in NYC. But if people were paying $10 for Don Julio in 2003, that's quite a difference.

Ah Sam Altman's crypto; the guy whose company OpenAI is being sued by the NYTimes for massive data scraping and copyright infringement... when he's not trying to collect everyone's retina biodata. Ojo, as they say.

You seem to have a lot of faith in Milei's plan (in terms of helping the Argentine people); what would have to happen for you to think it wasn't a good idea? Everyone thinks it will be at least 6 months of suffering, and to me that's not an indication that it will fail in the end; but how long...

Oooo my friend is flying out that night. I would be curious too.

Went to lunch yesterday at El Litoral, price for same meal was a little over double what it was nearly a year ago. If you know the place (very 'popular' prices for good meat), in previous years there was a line of locals, but not yesterday. The restaurant I passed on Pasco that gets the...
