    Diet: Living on beef and eggs

    https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8266228/ I think I'll stick to my omnivore diet which I have practiced for more than 70 years. Note the importance of algae consumption among the Inuit studied to obtain vitamin C

    Ex Senator Kueider backpacking USD 200K

    What are the proper explanations for this behavior? Is corruption so normal in Argentina that Kueider thought crossing a border with lots of cash was something he could get away with, and if not, could just bribe his way past the Paraguayan border guards? Or is the takeaway that one can be...

    It's a hyper-polluted city in a basket-case country - but I love it.

    Chris Moss was too lazy or had no comprehension of how air pollution is measured, the constituents (particulates, NOX. sulfurous oxides). Any useful description of pollution is quantified, against the backdrop of established standards that correlate concentrations to health risk. I just...

    Hello! US gal looking to move to BA!

    Have you done a very thorough financial assessment of working in BA? I moved to BA from Cincinnati after I retired, and was not compelled to earn a living. I don't know what your age is, but getting 50 years of SSA income history, and decades of contributions to 401k/IRA made life in BA...

    Tips for international wire?

    The sellers wanted an ARG bank to ARG bank transfer, not the receipt of a US bank wire. My own experience is that foreign source funds into ARG banks involves delay and forms.

    Tips for international wire?

    I bought and apartment in May this year. I have accounts at BNA, pesos and USD. First I wired from the US bank account the USD to the BNA USD account. It takes up to two weeks to have BNA credit the inbound wire, and a handful of forms to complete and return to BNA that link to getting the...

    Diet: Living on beef and eggs

    Curious that RFKjunior champions more regulation, which is contrary to Republican orthodoxy(except, of course, regarding access to abortion). Guns, assault weapons; no need for restrictions, every citizen has a right to have access under the 2nd amendment of lethal items that every other...

    US Embassy: presidential election voting reminder for citizens in ARG

    I was a former resident in Hamilton County, state of Ohio. Republicans control the state government, and have gerrymandered the congressional districts that has resulted in "packing" 5 congressional districts with Democratic representatives, while the bulk (ten) of the seats have Republican...

    Health insurance for a male over 65

    In 2019 I enrolled in Hospital Italiano. I had to have a blood test, and I don't remember other tests. I was age 69 at the time. Over 70 and the Argentine health insurers will decline to enroll you. In 2019 my monthly premium was about USD $140 with Hospitla Italiano. Now it is about $250 a...

    Trump injured after being shot while speaking at a campaign rally

    Trump never ran for a political office before his campaign for the presidency in 2016. Lazy RFK Jr did not bother to run for an elective office, despite family connections, and his name, until now. These guys think they are so wonderful they did not need to learn on the job, as a state...

    Trump injured after being shot while speaking at a campaign rally

    Was the bullet that killed the attendee, a firefighter with a wife and two kids, part of the script? Granted, Trump only is interested in himself, but a conspiracy involving a dead bystander is too far a stretch for me.

    Les Ancients Combattants restaurant

    I dined there about a year ago. The service was very good, and the food was excellent. Fine dining, not the kilo of meat and potatoes one can often encounter in popular joints in Bs. As. The only drawback was a jazz band performing. All the surfaces were hard; the acoustics muddied the...

    Bank of America holding Wire Transfer-'Compliance Check'

    I have an Argentine bank account in US dollars and use my Schwab account to wire funds to the Argentine bank. There are many forms to fill out on the Argentine side, but the money has always been credited, over several years.
