On this day in 1969, the Cordobazo Uprising began in the city of Córdoba, Argentina as a general strike, with workers seizing the city, burning the corporate headquarters of Citroën and Xerox, and clashing with the army.
The rebellion took place under the military dictatorship of General Juan Carlos Onganía, who had seized power in a coup in 1966. Onganía's government had suspended the right to strike, froze workers' wages, suppressed communist movements, and extended the age of retirement.
In the wake of widespread violent state repression against protesters, the labor union "CGT de los Argentinos", led by Agustín Tosco, called for national strike on May 30th, 1969. In Cordoba, the general strike and protests began one day earlier.
On the first day of the protests, police opened fire on thousands of protesters, killing a worker named Maximo Mena, causing the strike to escalate into a citywide revolt, leading to widespread destruction of property and seizing of city spaces. Onganía crushed the rebellion with the military, and Agustín Tosco was arrested for his role in the rebellion.

You can get a little one pretty cheaply probably around 20 which is good enough for most things, it's possible to dice the ingredients enough by hand for falafel but probably 100 times quicker with a processor unless you're a pro. One of the best things I ever cooked was made much easier with a processor, blended together chipotle peppers and garlic for a sauce to put on roasted portobello.
I am thinking about an immersion blender. I feel like for most purposes this ought to do it
I love those, I had one growing up and I liked not needing a separate container for things, it works for most things a small food processor would. I should get one again, it's great for smoothing up things like a butternut squash soup.
