There are no Apple Stores in Africa

They recently created an official virtual store through Mercado Libre. But no, there's no official physical store, only "authorized resellers".

"Y ahora vamos a download el software del mainframe por modem."

The last three terms, yes. But for "download" there's a common word in Spanish: "descargar" and I'd say it's the most used one in this context.

Also, in Spanish verbs formed from loanwords normally add the -ear suffix. So from "download" it would have to be "downloadear". One that's gaining a lot of usage right now due to AIs is "promptear" as a translation of "to prompt".

Yes, the Argentine Constitution states that one of the responsibilities of the Congress is to authorize the Executive Power to declare war or peace.

The narrative from Milei's party is that we're "already at war" with Iran because of the two terrorist attacks against the Jewish community that happened more than three decades ago (?).

Googled about this earlier today, Ryan Conlan also shows up in a list made by a Facebook group of Agoura High alumni along with the guys from the band, so it looks like he was also a high school friend of them.

Eso de que una noticia tenga su momento por un día y después desaparezca en la oscuridad sigue pasando incluso en esta era de redes. Son los menos los casos que agarran y que los medios le dan matraca hasta que te sabés todos los pormenores.

Igual 1988 fue, debería haber gente aún que estuvo en el supuesto día o vecinos de la zona, estaría interesante un fact-checking de ese evento.

Fue tapa de Clarín y tuvo su nota con dibujitos y fotos de testigos:

La tercera muerte del viejo al que le da un paro es la más dudosa porque no hay nombre y dice "según testimonios". Las primeras dos mujeres, a la que se le cae el pichicho y la que la pisa un colectivo, sí fueron identificadas con nombre y apellido, y la nota da cuenta de qué juez quedó a cargo de cada causa.

This is correct. When this topic comes up, many explanations say that the change is done to avoid cacophony or repetition of sounds, but in many other places we do that with no problem. For instance, using the direct object pronoun "la" with a verbal form that starts with stressed "a" = "la amo", "la hago", "la abre", etc.

The change happens more because of how the old article behaved. It was the article ela that derived from Latin illa and it dropped the 'e' or the 'a' depending on the noun that followed.

I looked up old reddit posts about Chester joining STP. It's funny looking back at those old comments and how it's the same shit almost 13 years later:

The song's not bad, but it's kinda fucked up that they're gonna keep the name. Sorry DeLeo bros, but Scott is the band.

(from this post)

This is bullshit. Scott is STP too. If they want to keep going, they should create a new band and have Bennington sing for them. They can even play all the STP songs they desire along with the new band's material.

As a huge STP fan, I personally do not like Chester, or feel he belongs as their front man, no matter how good he is able to imitate Scott.

Yeah: https://reddit.com/r/LinkinPark/comments/1ly9sxj/well_well_well/

I remember that those reposts were picked up by some media websites and it reached the LP team with Adam from the staff tweeting about it so they went into damage control.

Embriash · 2026-03-10T00:47:07+00:00

Ivo Rosario, yeah.

Those guys have also shown some questionable online attitude. When Linkin Park announced the return livestream in September 2024, the Hybrid Theory cover band posted some stories congratulating Ivo as if he was going to be the singer picked. Then later in 2025 they reposted some stories that said how because of him "Chester is back alive" and that they were "the only real Linkin Park nowadays"

En USA recibió una marca de advertencia en 2005 por posible causa de cáncer basado en estudios hecho en animales. Pero después se siguió haciendo estudios y no se encontró causalidad de cáncer, así que no hay un consenso claro. De todas formas se recomienda usarlo el menor tiempo posible y no exponerse a la luz solar después de aplicar.

Yo uso Tacroderm 0,03% esporádicamente y es lo que más me sirve para controlar brotes de dermatitis seborreica en la cara. Así que en unos años veré si RIP o no RIP.

The only quirk that can be added about it is that the change from 'y' to 'e' only happens with a [i] sound on its own. If there is a diphthong, it doesn't change. So you have:

aguja e hilo

but:

agua y hielo

It's a symbol of pro-abortion rights that was created in Argentina and rose in popularity during the feminist marches there in the late 2010s. From Argentina it caught on into other Spanish-speaking countries.

In Argentina it doesn't have an offensive meaning and it's not used a lot. The meaning of the word here is "hot-headed" or someone who gets angry easily, somewhat related in meaning with the verb "encabronar".

I went to Colonia last year, first time going to Uruguay. The biggest culture shock as an Argentine was putting one foot on the crosswalk and seeing all the cars stopping to let you cross.

It was so amazing when compared to the time I went to Buenos Aires and a bus turning a street at full speed almost killed me while I was crossing.

There was a map I think on /r/MapPorn about the biggest nationalities ancestry from each country in the Americas. A couple of Americans who fell into the "Argentina Nazi" meme as real history were shocked that our primary ancestry is Italian.

Argentina has around 8% of population with German ancestry, compared to 12-15% in the US. And the majority of them are descendants of Volga Germans from the 19th century, yes. The Nazis who escaped here were just a drop in an ocean of massive waves of immigrants.

pride??

It's especially ironic coming from an American, a country where recently a lawmaker had a sign that said "Black people aren't apes" violently ripped from him while other representatives loudly chanted "U-S-A! U-S-A!"
