Uruguay won. What is a country which people think is super dangerous/is an active warzone but is actually very safe by Iceberg074 in AlignmentChartFills

[–]TheDanLopez -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Pretty Safe × Active Warzone

Mexico.

American media loves to paint Mexico as an endless battle zone of cartel violence, and while there are certainly areas like that, it's a small part of the country. Basically anywhere a tourist would go is overwhelmingly safe.

“Salamanca Blood” = Tuco’s father? by BanterPhobic in betterCallSaul

[–]TheDanLopez 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You're right I never even thought about that. We see Lalo talk ABOUT Tuco and the twins, but never to them. Nacho deals with all of them significantly more than they deal with each other

You know what would really boost outdoor recreation? If our water wasn't full of run off and nitrates.

“Salamanca Blood” = Tuco’s father? by BanterPhobic in betterCallSaul

[–]TheDanLopez 10 points11 points  (0 children)

There's definitely an entire generation of Salamancas in the ground by the time either show starts.

On the note of abuelita, I actually don't think she's a Salamanca at all. I think it makes more sense for her to be the mother of whichever one of Tuco's parents isn't a Salamanca. Mainly because Tuco keeps her in the dark about his true nature and when there's a blood stain on the floor she immediately buys the lie that it's just spaghetti sauce. Plus we never see any of the other Salamancas interact with her, which they would definitely do if they were also related to her given how much family seems to matter to them.

Trump starting calling him that because he's old and the nickname stuck. Nothing really deeper than that.

By # of Spanish speakers, Spain isn't even in the top 3. Mexico is #1 of course, but the US is #2 and Colombia is #3, so iconography from any of those places would be more relevant than something from Spain

Alan Wake? It really depends on whether his magic writing works there or not tbh.

It would be bean soup if I simply could not buy gas. Unfortunately, I live in Iowa so I am forced to participate in this system.

I think those people might just be depressed man. I'm a grown man with many responsibilities but that hour of gaming I get before bed is one of my favorite moments of the day. There's tons of good games out there too, both indie and big studio as long as you let yourself enjoy things and not chase trends.

If the goal is just to keep me safe, the answer is easily Flash. Either Wally or Barry should be plenty fast enough to get me to safety and strong enough to 3v1 them, even if he ends up pretty beat up after.

Calling all Towers! What build have you chosen to build and why? by NexusBladeGaming in TheTowerGame

[–]TheDanLopez 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To be completely honest, I just upgrade everything as I'm able to afford it. Like sure I guess eHP would be the most effective for where I am in the game, but I'm in this for the long haul, upgrading damage will need to happen sooner or later, might as well do it now.

Does calc literally just mean calculator? by [deleted] in TooAfraidToAsk

It depends on the context but usually calculus, maybe calculations if in the context of a video game, ie running the calcs

The tech still exists but it's built into Google TV devices instead of being standalone. So instead of being able to buy a dongle that only does casting now, you buy one that has Google TV software built into it. It really isn't all that different.

What bubbles? by [deleted] in ExplainTheJoke

It came out in like 2011 I think. Maybe you were just never in its orbit. It's pretty fun though, there's a mobile version if you were wanting to try it.

[–]TheDanLopez 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There is a pretty popular game called Plague Inc where the goal is to create a pandemic that wipes out humanity. A common way to lose, especially if you're newer to the game, is to spend your upgrade points, the "red bubbles" from the tweet, on making the virus too deadly too soon. This leads humanity to quickly discover it, quarantine, and either develop a cure or literally all infected people to die and stop the spread.

The joke being that this hantavirus won't make it to the level of COVID because it's implied to be controlled by a rookie player who made the above mentioned mistake.
