    99% loss of value in peso in my time, momentous day

    Memes and mémes

    I think we should have a post detailing the Industria Argentina internet memes that expats find hilarious...it could be like the daily comic strips but of our forum, and serve some historical cross-cultural purpose. Most memes are written at a low enough language level that the average expat...

    National Brands of Hobby Interest?

    Just wondering.....I've become a mild historical collector of Bram Metal's offerings, historical and shamefully contemporary. Anybody else have any sentimentality to any brands?

    Water Softener for elevated tank well system tips

    Good morning, everyone! I'm wondering if anyone here has successfully added a water softener in the elevated tank well system commonly used here. A plumber, an engineer, and I are all confused on where in the chain it should go with the least amount of disruption to pressure and the least...
