Books, coffee, movies, straight razors, fountain pens, the middle ages, rum...and rain.

I'm on the https://t.co/nMOL6S4zwI instance, which I think is the original one.

@NicSaldias Thanks for posting this. I know I've asked you before what the best-selling EVs in Uruguay were, so this delivers—in spades! I always enjoy your Uruguay posts. Keep 'em comin'!

[SlowRain @_SlowRain_]

@BrazilBrian It's okay--so long as it's on good coffee! 😁

[SlowRain @_SlowRain_]

@BrazilBrian I think you have a voice of a radio DJ. (I mean that in the nicest possible way, just in case you have a personal dislike of radio DJs. 😁)

@NicSaldias @AmerQuarterly Nice article! I'd be very interested in reading about EU-Mercosur EVs if they ever become a thing.

For now, though, do you know what the best-selling non-Chinese EVs in Uruguay are?

[SlowRain @_SlowRain_]

@NicSaldias Now I'm curious. Does this make the crime, infrastructure, public works, etc. noticeably better worse in the white, yellow, and blue areas?

[SlowRain @_SlowRain_]

@NicSaldias 😂

[SlowRain @_SlowRain_]

@NicSaldias @IversKevin Any thoughts on how this will affect Uruguay?

[SlowRain @_SlowRain_]

@BrazilBrian It's going to be a free-for-all until a new system can either be agreed upon or else forced upon us.

[SlowRain @_SlowRain_]

@NicSaldias Enjoy your holidays!

@BrazilBrian @NicSaldias Can I ask what implications either of you think this may have for Uruguay? (We're thinking of moving there.)

[SlowRain @_SlowRain_]

@NicSaldias I imagine the prices are what's keeping the other 90% from agreeing. It has always surprised me that Argentina hasn't noticed Uruguay's stability and progress and tried to do something about the direction of their own country.

@NicSaldias @lucinda_elliott I'd like to ask both of you for your subjective, biased opinions. What non-Chinese, non-luxury EVs are common in Uruguay and of decent quality? (I ask because we're researching the possibility of moving there.)

@AmyBwrites I find I usually have to press down harder with ballpoints. Rollerballs are a bit better. A well-tuned fountain-pen nib glides more freely across the page. My handwriting is usually pretty bad, but fountain pens make it a little--a LITTLE!--bit more presentable. 😁

[SlowRain @_SlowRain_]

@AmyBwrites Well, that's better than not writing at all. Was it with a thin-gripped rollerball/ballpoint pen?

[SlowRain @_SlowRain_]

@AmyBwrites I've been curious about reading Goñi's book for a while now.

@NicSaldias Is that the definition of cancel culture? Isn't that just politics as it's been done for decades now?

[SlowRain @_SlowRain_]

@BrazilBrian Ah, the expat dilemma. To that sentiment, I'll add that I am an egg: white on the outside, yellow on the inside.

[SlowRain @_SlowRain_]

@NicSaldias [whispers quietly] How'd they manage that? I'd think Uruguay is everything He With the Tiny Hands hates about a society.
