    Argentine Leader Draws Fire After Cratering of Crypto Coin He Promoted - New York Times

    He got busted plain and simple. Shutting down a newspaper for finding the contract he signed? You just know that Hayden had a get out of jail free card. I'm not sure if Argentines really care about getting stolen from. Look at Cristina and what they let her get away with.

    A coffee for $3.50: Argentina is the most expensive country in Latin America

    Correct. I went one day because it was very early and a cafe wasn't open yet. I had the walk of shame from a hook up and it was the only thing open. It was terrible! That is not a place you want to drink coffee. Mine tasted like it was brewing all night or was old and they didn't want to throw...

    Argentine Leader Draws Fire After Cratering of Crypto Coin He Promoted - New York Times

    One of the reasons why I don't think Argentina is a serious country. First the Kirchner's and now this. Some survey the other day said almost 70% of Argentines expect their President and politicians are corrupt and stealing from them. They seem ok with it. Some good X posts on this.

    Jazz in Buenos Aires

    Cool! I went to Thelonious Club on my last visit to BA. Really great acoustics in there and a great vibe. I also liked Jazz Voyeur in Recoleta. It was inside the Melia hotel. A girl that I was seeing liked Jazz and it was a great atmosphere. Virasoro Bar was cool too. How is Prez Jeazz and...

    Tesla is going to stop making Model S and Model X cars to build their robots

    I saw the news last night. My guess is he will make these robots geared up for war. It is much cheaper to make one of these and perfect it for fighting. If they are already shutting down car factors to make these in bulk it probably means they already have a contract with the US government or...

    Anyone play Age of Empires 2 here

    You won't have any problems on most laptops. Age of Empires II doesn't require any heavy duty gaming computer. Any modern gaming laptop with a dedicated GPU will run without problems. Even my friends with older computers work. Here are the minimum requirements: 🧠 CPU: Intel Core 2 Duo / AMD...

    I wonder if anything will ever become of this. Still making rounds in the New York Times.

    Cultural orientation and historical insight in Buenos Aires

    I see on your website you give historical and political context. I am curious what your opinion is on Milei. Do you think he will get re-elected for a 2nd term or things will fall apart?

    Delinquency rates on Argentine consumer loans and credit cards shooting up

    This will never happen. Bank lobby groups are too powerful. Doubt this could ever happen.

    Buenos Aires named Best City in the world to visit in 2026 - Wanderlust Reader Travel Award

    Great city indeed. I still think the food is overrated here but there is a lot of energy. All my friends that went to the conference in Buenos Aires in November loved it. I knew many from all over the world and it was their first time in BA and they all raved about the city. Not one person...

    Divorce Advice? Calling it quits after only 3 months. Help!

    This looks like AI. The girl has 6 fingers! You don't need to rent a yacht. I went to Africa Club in Buenos Aires and tons of girls that looked like the girl in the photo and they were giving out their IG and then later when I contacted them they just ended up being escorts. About $300 bucks...

    Seems like cash exchanging at cuevas is the best way but my last trip I wasn't getting anywhere near what they put online.

    New wave of shutdowns and layoffs puts Argentine industry on alert

    I don't think that many Argentines care about all of these layoffs of these local companies that never could compete and are only in business because of protectionism by the socialist governments before. They never had to be competitive or compete and were ripping off local consumers with high...
