Damasco and Armenia are on adjacent blocks and direct competitors. Armenia looks more polished. I haven't noticed any difference in quality or offer, but I am not an expert. I live one block from there. Next time you're in town and one block away from my place, drop me a line!

I would have gone for the BBW ribs. Argentine are good at meats, the rest is usually mediocre or poor (especially the pasta... it is really not their thing).
I would also skip meats with sauces on, like the lomo with mushroom cream. -
I saw that I am shocked. My husband told me to always leave a large space between you and the next car when you are standing at a red light. At least, you can escape (by car) if things get hairy. I should pay more attention to his advices.

The Incognito mode fixed the issue with ICBC, but not with the Firmador.
By the way, I am experiencing the same issue with Safari, which I never use. I don't understand if it is cookie-related or IP-related.

I am in Italy and I have been experiencing issues in accessing Argentinian websites from abroad.
First, it was the website to digitally sign documents https://firmar.gob.ar/firmador/#/
I am getting a DNS_PROBE_FINISHED_NXDOMAIN error.
The same happens with ICBC Home banking. The odd thing is that this behavior is not consistent. Most of the time I cannot access the websites, but they would randomly work. I think the issue may be Chrome, as when I try to access them from BRave Browser, 9 times out 10 they work.
I can't really wrap my mind around this. Any insight, anyone?

I don't recall using voice messaging 2 years after my last post. The missus sends me the odd one through the system in the car. Usually along the lines of '' I'm three blocks away''. A hint to get me off my arse and have the garage door open for her return.
That'a a sensible use of voice messages, shall I say!
My husband has friends sending 10-15' of voice messages. I call them rumbles. I tell him to not waste his time to listed to those. They are usually a free form of therapy. He even replies, out of politeness, then complain the friends don't listen to him nor follow his advices. I told him those voice messages are not meant to be listened, they are just a form to get something out of their system. They could shoot them in the space, for what matters.

I have a perpetual license of Word for Mac, which I paid about USD 30 almost a decade ago. It is an incredible deal for someone who works entirely on Word like I do. However, I have rarely seen any actual update along the years. Sometimes it updates, but I don't see any new features or better functionality.
I am not surprised if they are moving to the subscription model, as it seems the way to go for 99% of the softwares/app, nowadays.

We have but I had nowt to do with it.
I thought you meant the Scottish flag to show your pride to contribute to the local beer business, just like your mates who drank Boston dry during the World Cup.
Scotland fans drink Boston dry as local bars run out of beer
QuoteBoston Beer Co. said in a news release that from Thursday to Sunday, the Tartan Army -- Scotland's supporters organization -- drank four times what the company normally stocks during a typical four-day holiday stretch like the Fourth of July, adding that it had to schedule an emergency delivery of beer Saturday morning and are adding extra deliveries this week to make sure it has enough.
"We've never seen anything like it," Billy DeCain of the Sam Adams Boston Taproom told NBC Boston.

I find it very hard to justify Adorni for so long. For me, the way Milei addressed the Adorni-gate has tainted his support from his own electorate. My husband, instead, still finds a way to justify Milei. If isn't that love, what is?
I think it is blindness.... but don't tell him!

In my very personal opinion, it is very hard to appreciate art now that technology tells it all. Also, I think our modern life favors an analytical mind, with no room left for feeling or personal interpretations.
I was very much fond of Van Gogh when I was a teenager. I thought he was very rebellious and depicted well what he saw (somehow in an inebriated or not sound state of mind) and the atmosphere at the time (a tiny road in France late in the evening, the people chatting and drinking sitting at the outside tables, the starry night above them, the contour a little blurry because the painter is tipsy...)

His works weren't my cup of tea to be honest.
His sphere in Ezeiza was the background of so many farewells before heading to the security checking. It made a sad moment lighter for many travelers. That's art with a purpose!

I rather enjoy modern art, although my knowledge and comprehension of the art subject is very basic.
However, in general, I like those bold colors and lines and provoking designs and patterns. In an era where we have cameras, videos and AI, painting to emulate reality seems plain and dull, whereas modern art enhance feelings and emotions and depicts the world as we can feel it rather than as we can see it.
Between a museum of fine arts and one of modern art, I'd definitely got to the latter and skip the first.
In Argentina, I like Marta Minujín's work.
I find Yayoi Kusama's work hypnotizing

It's like Christmas, 10 times per year.

I have been a millionaire for a day (in pesos). Too bad I didn't take a screenshot of my homebanking. It felt good, even if I knew it was a lie. Didn't last long.

I am a fan of the em-dash. Very practical to add further information without having to find a connector (word), and visually cleaner than parenthesis.

The nearest post office is like Splinter described. I often feel pity for the people working there, as it is a grim place to spend most of your awake time. However, they are always nice and prompt. There is a display with numbers that doesn't work and jumps 4 numbers at time. At the same time, the windows are facing the wall and not the waiting room, so you can't rely the display at all. They are so used to it, that when someone comes forward saying they missed their number, they have no problem in serving him or her, and also the people in the waiting room understand that you miss your call.
There is also a parabolic mirror so that the employees (who are facing the wall), can see the people in the waiting room.
I usually spend 40-60' in line, so I try to keep it to a minimum.

Our Telecentro 300mb cable internet service has doubled in price since last June and we are now paying $70000 per month and I see that Claro has an offer of 500mb fibre optic, discounted for 12 months at $22000, so I'm tempted to switch again!
We too have Telecentro (cheapest plan) and pay about 75.5 k ARS per month. I have been patiently waiting for iPlan, but it seems it doesn't yet stretch until my part of Palermo.
Sometimes it is worth a call to your current provider to get a discount, maybe mentioning that you've been eyeing a competitor's attractive offer...
It usually works with Movistar, and my husband is very good at juggling things with sales representatives over the phone.

I have mailed by regular cheap mail a letter to Mar del Plata for 4000 ARS (about 3 USD). No tracking and hopefully it arrived.
I have mailed the same letter by certified mail, the cheapest tracked service, for 19.900 ARS (about 14 USD) and it took exactly one week to arrive to Bahía Blanca. It seems an incredibly long time for such an expensive service.
Both destinations were within the Province of Buenos Aires and to mayor cities. I can't imagine how long they'd take if the destination was a small town.
Argentina feels very old world, sometimes!

Very neat installation, Splinter .
We were discussing adding camera in our hall on the 2nd floor after the roof door accident, and share the cost/recording between us and the neighbor (architect) as if we have to involve the rest of the owners, they'd never agree since it doesn't concern them. My neighbor is convinced we have to buy a mix of real and fake cameras.
I am not particularly fond of fake cameras as they are no use and I don't believe a theft is concerned about being caught on camera. In fact, even in the news there is plenty of camera footages of people committing whatever evil acts they planned on doing.
He said "but the theft doesn't know which ones are real and which ones are fake". To me, a camera is just for our peace of mind to be able to catch and prosecute the thief/ves, it won't spare us to be victim of a crime.
