    The LGBTQ+ community says president has turned back the clock

    Top comment is the best - Para alguien de CABA: sos provinciano Para alguien del interior: sos porteño femboy

    USAF base in Ushuaia

    Well, that was an impressively comprehensive response. You obviously have a solid grasp of strategic analysis. The problem with this topic is that if we go much further, it will descend into an acrimonious debate of US politics, which are mostly off limits in this venue. Nobody here wants to go...

    USAF base in Ushuaia

    My question would be why? Who are they going to fight down there, the penguins? What threat to the security of the USA could possibly exist in the far southern Atlantic?

    The LGBTQ+ community says president has turned back the clock

    I mentioned the danger of this before the election, and I was shouted down by the Milei supporters, who insisted that he wasn't like that. To be fair, there was violence against the LGBTQ+ community under Peronist national governments also, it's just a matter of degrees...

    Anybody else notice coffee recently not tasting good?

    Starbucks here uses Brazilian coffee, which is grown at low altitude and tastes like mud.

    USD-denominated rentals - do landlords only ever accept cash?

    In my experience the greedy buggers want cash in hand.

    Argentine couple amazed by Mexican supermarket

    OK OK, cool, glad to hear you have actually tried the product and found it good. What is the address of this Green Door, please? and what is a Pancho 46? :)

    Argentine couple amazed by Mexican supermarket

    Well, the website looks good, but that's just marketing rhetoric. The proof is in the pudding. Until I've tasted the tortillas, color me skeptical, and expecting nothing better than those horrid "Rapiditas".

    Argentine couple amazed by Mexican supermarket

    Unobtainium, in my experience. Knowing CABA, there's probably some tiny Mexican community hidden away in a dank corner of Villa Whatever that makes them by hand, but you just have to know Don Refugio...

    Milei faces biggest protest yet as students march over budget cuts

    On the subject of that budget surplus, the thing he's ignoring is that his government took on 9 billion USD of new debt with another loan from the IMF, and they're now going back asking for even more. So, it's all accounting tricks, not a real surplus.

    Daily maid rate per hour

    When 200g of butter goes for a price in excess of 2K, maybe closer to 2600 depending on the brand, (quoting from what I saw at the Big Coto here in Villa Urquiza day before yesterday), those wages seem quite modest.

    Wait 15 minutes and Steve will find you one on Mercado Libre, with free delivery.

    Argentina asks to join NATO as a global partner

    Not a good idea, in my opinion. Historically, Argentina's policy of neutrality has served it well. Inviting the wars of Europeans to come back to Latin America is insanity.

    Argentina buys 24 of Denmark’s aging F-16 fighter jets

    You know, that is actually a really good idea!
