    Diet

    The whole "eggs are bad for you" thing has been debunked about 20 years and traced back to one lying profiteering scumbag scientist. Sound familiar climate billionaire Al Gore ? If you have internal organ damage from too much glucose (sugar) and liver damage (fatty liver syndrome) eggs are the...

    Diet

    I've dabbled with this diet many times for quick fat loss. But you need green vegetables for Vitamin C. Brocolli / cabbage is delicious lightly pan fried in butter. What makes it work in my case is that after 2 days I get really sick of beef and eggs and only want to eat when actually hungry...

    What's the reality of safety in Buenos Aires?

    This is huge in Colombia, no doubt will be more common here as the economy goes down. Also a lot of Yankees have died or been permanently damaged by these drugs. The girl slipping it into your drink probably didn't go to med school and isn't measuring the dose in a scientific beaker. Very easy...

    Controlling a USA tablet from Arg for banking etc

    Is this a common practice among individuals? Specifically for banking and similar activities? I have come across numerous accounts recently regarding individuals being unable to access their accounts after using an Argentine IP address for an extended period. It appears that even VPNs have not...

    Have you ever bought some cheap crappy empanadas. Put them in the fridge for 24 hours. Pan fry them with 10 grams of butter under a lid on medium heat, turning after 10 minutes. Delicious

    Did anything ever come of this ? There's a Chinese comida por peso place near the Pueyyredon / Rivadavia subway hub with some delicious dishes I would pay good money in USD for someone to show me step by step where to get the ingredients and how to make. I've seen too many horrifyingly...

    Taxi rates. Am I being scammed?

    I understand how bad you feel, I had a USA friend who arrived in Argentina on her first ever overseas trip at 18. The taxi took her to her hotel, she got out to get her bags out of the trunk, and the taxi driver sped off and stole the lot. She was traumatkzed against Argentina forever

    Love it, my favourite taxi driver story of all time also involve music. Driving on Corrientes at 3am on the way home from a club and the huge Beatles tribute band posters are everywhere. I asked the driver if he liked The Beatles and his eyes lit up, he started messing with his phone USB...

    Taxi rates. Am I being scammed?

    They are taxi drivers not the Taliban. My advice is the complete opposite, talk to them, ask como va tu dia in your heaviest yankee accent. You might be surprised 99% of taxi drivers here are good people who will help you with anything. And this is based on my sample size of thousands of taxi...

    Taxi rates. Am I being scammed?

    18000 pesos ? How is that even possible is the meter just going crazy? Or if there is no meter either get out immediately or agree on a price upfront. Like others said I have been taking taxis daily for 20 years here and seen 1 rigged meter in this time, after we drove a few blocks I told the...

    Options - extended 90 days and plan to overstay 180

    It's just that you can't get a 1 year contract on a tourist visa without personal contacts. So when you insisted so vehemently you have no contacts and got it through "Normal" means I was curious what exactly you meant
