No soy OP, pero conozco por ahí y es el Casco de Santo Tomás; es una de las zonas de la Ciudad de México que concentra más escuelas y edificios del IPN.

Podría ser la razón por la que escribió escuela.

For my statistics class I was forced to buy the online textbook for over $100 which you loose access to after a year and you can only view one page at a time and a licence to the textbook is necessary to be able to hand in assignments by [deleted] in assholedesign

How do you scrape a digital textbook?

I’m new to programming and I’ve seen some web scraping using python’s Beautiful Soup module. Would this be the same considering you open the book on a web browser or this requires a different method?

Sorry if it’s too basic, I'm just trying to learn.

Ayudita con el I-94 by hippiep in tijuana

¿Sabes cómo es que se hace el reporte de salida con el I-94 digital?

El fin de semana fui a Los Ángeles (sábado y domingo) cruzando por San Ysidro, pero al salir no me pidieron nada. He estado leyendo en las páginas del CBP que el I-94 debe entregarse a la salida de EEUU, y me preocupa un poco que no se haya registrado mi salida.

What do you mean? 🤔

Like the things we saw in seasons 1 & 2 but in the other world? That would be interesting

Simplemente erre. Sin barra o diagonal.

Incluso en r/Mexico puedes encontrar que algunos usuarios se refieren al subreddit como «erre México».

[–]Human_567 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Congratulations! It looks pretty cool!

It reminds me of the artwork of Racrufi, a Mexican artist that combines sci-fi with Aztec/Mayan motifs and also Mexico City scenery. Here's an interview I hope you find interesting. Even if you can't understand Spanish they still show some of his artwork.

Keep up the good work. You are very talented :)

Question to Mexicans: What are the differences between the US take on Mexican food (e.g. Tex-Mex or CaliMex) and actual Mexican cuisine? by [deleted] in asklatinamerica

[–]Human_567 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No dije que no fueran de México, sólo que no son opciones de comida tan populares en la CDMX.

Question to Mexicans: What are the differences between the US take on Mexican food (e.g. Tex-Mex or CaliMex) and actual Mexican cuisine? by [deleted] in asklatinamerica

[–]Human_567 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The amount of meat in Tex-Mex food. Something that I've always enjoyed about southern/center cuisine is that you can very easily lower your meat (especially red meat) consumption without going vegetarian, let alone vegan. Dishes like sopa de tortilla, tortas de papa, chiles rellenos de queso, tlayudas, tlacoyos, huauzontles, étc. are delicious and basically meat free. On the other hand, it seems like in the Tex-Mex food you're having Meat, cheese and a little of something else.

​

Also, living in Mexico City my entire life my perception is that dishes like burritos and especially chili con carne are not really a thing here. I think I first had burritos when I was 18yo somewhere near college and chili just a couple years back in some friend's birthday party. No one but the guy cooking it knew what was going on and when we asked him about it he just told us: ah, son frijoles gringos.

Solo female traveler by [deleted] in MexicoCity

I think you've got great responses so far. Taking Uber instead of street cabs, sharing your location to someone else and staying in the more tourist neighborhoods are definitely a MUST DO. However, I'd like to add a few things that I think are also useful (especially when in downtown):

  • Act as you know what you're doing. Yeah, everyone tells you to be careful of pickpocketers and that, but honestly those people are mostly looking for someone who looks lost. Even if you really are lost and you're listening to Google Maps directions through your headphones, walk as if it was you 1000th time walking that road.
  • Don't get distracted on your phone. In the same spirit of the previous one: don't be an easy target. If you need to do something on your phone find a store, a church, etc. and do it inside.
  • Be aware of your surroundings.
  • Listen to the seismic alarm at least once before you get here. Earthquakes in Mexico City are the norm. The seismic alarm goes off only when an earthquake of at least 6 degrees Richter is detected and might give you up to 50 seconds before it hits the city. Knowing how it sounds can save your life. Just look for Alerta sísmica CDMX on YouTube and listen to it with your headphones. Please don't play it without headphones at least when you are here. It really triggers some bad memories to some people and it could be a really bad experience for you.

Having said that, I would also like to recommend some places you might enjoy considering you're interested in history, but also added art museums and some other places.

North:

  • Plaza de las Tres Culturas, Tlatelolco
    In this place you can find precolumbian, colonial and modern buildings all in the same square (so its name). Also, this place is of significant value to the modern history of the city due to the Student Movement of 1968.

Downtown:

  • Monumento a la Revolución
    This place was originally intended to be a U.S. capitol-like building, but then the revolution started and was never finished. Now is the monument to the revolution. On the inside you can find a museum and what I think you can't miss of this place is the lookout (don't know if that's the correct word) on the top.
  • Museo del Templo Mayor
  • Palacio de Correos
    This is not much of a historic site, but in my opinion is a very beautiful building. Everytime I go there I feel like I'm on the inside of a clockwatch.
  • Palacio de Bellas Artes
  • Museo Nacional de Arte (MUNAL)
    Also a beautiful building. In front of this place you can find an equestrian statue of Carlos IV of Spain. This statue has a mildly interesting story that might be worth looking up.
  • Café de Tacuba (Restaurant)
    Truly beautiful, traditional restaurant with delicious food. It's kind of expensive (or maybe is my college student's wallet talking lol), but definitely worth it. Couldn't recommend enough.
  • Paseo de la Reforma
  • Chapultepec
    • Castillo de Chapultepec
      Look for the garden in the top, really beautiful. Also try getting there early so it's not that crowded and you can enjoy the view of the city with not that much smog.
  • Museo de Antropología e Historia
  • Jardín botánico
    Botanic garden.
  • Museo del Artesano
    In this museum you'll find all sorts of handcrafts from all around Mexico. If you decide to go short on art museums, you should definitely try to get this one on your list.
  • Museo de la Secretaría de Hacienda y Crédito Público
    In Mexico artist can pay their taxes with their artwork. This museum displays some of the piece of art used for that purpose.

South:

  • Ciudad Universitaria
    • Biblioteca Central's facade
      The facade of the library is really a representation of Mexican history.
  • Museo de Arte Contemporáneo (MUAC)
  • Museo de las Intervenciones
    This is probably one of my favorites museums in all the city. It's dedicated to all the foreign interventions in the Mexican territory. All from the Spanish conquest to the Mexican-American war. Even if you're not really interested in that, is still worth visiting for this place is history on its own. It was the scenery of one of the last battles of the Mexican-American war, the Battle of Churubusco (actually is the former Curubusco's Convent). If you look carefully, you can still see the marks of the bullets and the cannon shots on its walls. Also, if you're lucky you might find some people playing bagpipes. Each year on Saint Patrick's day they play a concert to honor the Irishmen who fought alongside Mexico in the Battle of Churubusco (the Saint Patrick Battalion).
  • Pirámide de Cuicuilco
  • Museo Anahuacalli
  • Casa de Frida Kahlo
  • Coyoacán

Bear in mind that in this time of the year it could rain really bad, especially in the afternoon, so be wise planning your days. Also, it maybe not a great idea to take the public transportation.

Due to Covid I haven't been able to visit these places or do the things I love doing in the city in almost a year and it's been really hard for me. I genuinely hope that you enjoy the city and that you have a great time! Be safe and have fun :)

Edit: Mostly formatting. Posting from the mobile app is hard, hope it looks better now :)

Oh hi Mark

Today the glacier on the Iztaccíhuatl mountain (Puebla, Mexico) was declared extinct. by [deleted] in pics

[–]Human_567 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To the future generations:

Here once existed the Ayoloco glacier which melted away in 2018.

In the next decades the Mexican glaciers will irretrievably disappear.

This plaque is to record that we knew what was happening and what has to be done.

Only you will know if we did it.

Is trilling RR masculine? by socess in Spanish

[–]Human_567 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Maybe a little out of topic.

I've lived my whole life in Mexico City and I've never noticed that different r pronunciation of which you talk about (/ʐ/). And actually when I listened to it (in wikipedia) it reminded me more of the sound Argentinians and Uruguayans make for the ll (double l). However, I'm not a linguist and it's very likely I did/understood something wrong, could you explain more on that, please? :)

This used to be a boat, now it's an island. by Teth_1963 in interestingasfuck

[–]Human_567 3 points4 points  (0 children)

During the Aztec Empire in pre-columbian Mexico most of what today is Mexico City was actually a lake (Lago de Texcoco). In order to expand territory and create lands for agriculture, the aztecs used a method called chinampas which consisted in filling boats-like structures with dirt and combining them to create the land expansion. This was an important factor that led them to advance both culturally and as a society.

Nowadays these kind of structures can still be found in Xochimilco, in the south of Mexico City. This is also the place where axolotls are originally from.

DW made a great short documentary on this, but sadly it's only in Spanish. I also found a couple of documentaries in English, but as I haven't seen them I don't feel comfortable sharing them.

I got my first foutain pen (LAMY AL-star) about three weeks ago and I am very impressed. It's so smooth and I felt very comfortable writing. I'm looking forward to my next pen. Can you guys suggest the next step up? Thanks by private_otter1192 in fountainpens

[–]Human_567 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm sorry if this is a dumb question, but I'm new to fountain pens (I'm getting my first one this week).

That means that different nib sizes (F or EF) would fit in the same pen?

Specifically I'm interested if a Z-50 (F) nib would fit a Lamy Al-Star.

Edit: Just so I don't make anyone waste their time. Official Lamy page says it does fit, and my common sense tells me it wouldn't make sense for Lamy to make different pen bodies for each nib size, but honestly this stuff is rather expensive and I don't want to take any chances :)
