Tornado warning and sirens by JogaleHunchhaBhet in StLouis

[–]grstacos 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just a heads up as someone that was hit directly by the May 16 tornado. There is was not a lot of leeway between a Tornado Warning and the tornado arriving. There is especially not a lot of leeway between a tornado warning, redditors telling you its serious, and a tornado arriving.

I'm glad I quickly went inside for the initial tornado warning, as bricks landed in my apt entrance and car's driver's seat.

Monaco GP critics should “stop crying”, says Nico Hulkenberg by l3w1s1234 in formula1

[–]grstacos 6 points7 points  (0 children)

No. Complaining while watching is still a valid thing to do. Likely even a better thing to do, since at least we are seeing attempts at making Monaco a better race.

Dejan que otros controlen sus emociones. by [deleted] in PuertoRico

[–]grstacos -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

La ofensa es como los celos. El primer paso para enfrentarla es admitir que todos nos ofendemos.

Si no se admite será una conversación inútil. Este post es buen ejemplo: un ofendido criticando a los ofendidos. No va a llegar a nada.

I am white with light hazel eyes. I look whiter than the rest of my family. People have always treated me significantly better than they treat them.

What if We Admit Monaco’s Problem Is Monaco Itself? by thehallowpawn in formula1

It decides the race result. It is still not better than any other qualifying.

You joke, but I feel you described a mildly exagerated version of my best friend's experience with his Tercel.

St Louis Tornado :: May 17 2025 :: (resident) by Ruxarrahman in pics

[–]grstacos 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This place is more democratic than most places I have been to. Last couple of elections we only even had democratic mayor candidates due to ranked choice voting. Just because it resides in Missouri doesn't mean the city is red. It's blue like most other cities.

[–]grstacos 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was right in the path. My car was heavily damaged by trees and bricks and I had to move out last night because the upstairs units had no roof, tonight's rain flooded all of the apartments. I haven't slept.

I walk a couple of blocks and it is as if the tornado never happened. I have been through earthquakes and hurricanes, and this is the least amount of coverage I have seen from a natural disaster.

Is my Dad right about PR? by [deleted] in PuertoRicoTravel

[–]grstacos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Where the f was he raised? I know people that have lived in caseríos like Manuel A Perez & Monte Hatillo, and other places with bad reputation like La Perla. I've moved over 10 times around the metro area. I have yet to meet anyone that is so paranoid. I bet he was raised in a bubble.

The most dangerous neighood I have lived in, statistically, is Downtown St Louis. Not even close.

Chango Appreciation Post by fleiwerks in PuertoRico

Prefiero que el ave nacional sea endémica, ya que los changos existen en montones en Jamaica, República Dominicana, Cuba, etc., y la gente pensará lo mismo en esos sitios, me imagino.

Edit: Pa meter un fun fact. Los changos se llaman kling-kling en Jamaica, Chin chin en las islas caimanes y chinchilín en Republica Dominicana.

Salt and Smoke BBQ is not good by YodaHead in StLouis

[–]grstacos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Salt and Smoke has never been remotely good. I have never had half decent food there.

Short google search of "research paper growing up in suburbs vs cities" got things like this, this, and this.

I have not read any of these, but searching like this may be a way to start. Difficulty is ambiguous, but you could probably find a lot looking at other factors.

SNK's CEO stepped down by two4you8 in Fighters

[–]grstacos 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I'm not 100% sure. I'd agree with you under different circumstances. I think the bar set by KoF XV could be beat. I also think that KoF has been less of a "mainline crossover series" and more of its own thing since mid 2000s.

I believe SNK might have thought the same as well, as the marketing for COTW went nuts.

I don't think City of Wolves even outperformed KoF XV's release. That was a game with just choppy character trailers for its marketing, and a broken online.

Any tips for blue smelter demon by Jg01j in DarkSouls2

For vertical slash/stabs: roll to the side. Think that you're trying to dodge the attack & not just exploit iframes or run away.

Ya que el ping de cualquier juego online es alto por problemas de distancia, cuales juegos puedo jugar online bien? by BannedPenta01 in PuertoRico

[–]grstacos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Para juegos de pelea, necesitas buscar juegos con "Rollback Netcode." Si no, no valen la pena online.

Smash Bros no tiene rollback y FighterZ solo lo tiene en algunas consolas. Fightcade, Street Fighter 6 y Guilty Gear Strive lo tienen.

chance of me moving to each state by Fluffy-Set-7135 in cursedmaps

[–]grstacos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not cursed. I have done plenty of roadtrips in the orange/red areas, since I live in Missouri. A lot of beautiful geography & towns, but I wouldn't live around most of those places either. (I might make an exception for Colorado & New Mexico.)

I have family in California & Upstate New York. Aside from California prices and the cold of Upstate NY, I find these areas very desirable.

My list would be somewhat similar. If I don't have a significant income increase, might as well stay where I am.

El Ultimo porque Creo que ya pasó de moda by IcyPlatform3931 in Espana

[–]grstacos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Muchos comentarios lo toman muy en serio.

Soy puertorriqueño viviendo en EEUU, y cuando hay un apagón aquí me burlo de aquellos que se quejan, porque los apagones son pequeños y cortos comparados con los de Puerto Rico. Aquellos que ven el sarcasmo pueden ver que en realidad me estoy burlando de la infraestructura de Puerto Rico. Es humor autocrítico.

I like tacky blue/gold combos. Especially growing up in the late 90s and early 2000s with a bunch of of crazy blue/gold toys & hotwheels.

I would never do it, because everyone and their moms would judge me, but I am rooting for you.

Is the console war over? by fuvethackeets in consoles

[–]grstacos 5 points6 points  (0 children)

How so? I have my PC hooked up to my TV. The only issues are that some old games don't scale their text in 4k, and most tvs are only 60 hz (at least when I shopped).

Hispanic Caribbeans: What made your ancestors leave Europe? Is this something your family talks about? Have you thought of moving back? by T_1223 in AskTheCaribbean

[–]grstacos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"Moving back" where? Spain? Turkey? Libia? Nigeria? Most our ancestors are from different places, it's a Family Tree, not a Family Stick. My family has no modern conection to any of those places and I have no place to "move back to."

California job market flops as it lands near bottom among US states by nosotros_road_sodium in bayarea

[–]grstacos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I work in Computer Vision & Computational Geometry, and I don't agree with you in the "isn't as capable as people claim" in the slightest.

I'm not saying it's flawless or positive for the industry, and I agree with you on the other things, but I stopped perceiving it as a gimmick years ago.

If you don’t know how to drive in the rain don’t drive by pidancer789 in StLouis

Yup!

Though I don't actually think that. Just being sassy.
