Does anyone remember why Lalo was introducing Nacho to Eladio?

He went through a lot of trouble and effort to put Eladio in the best mood possible when meeting Nacho.

But I can't exactly remember: why did Lalo want Nacho to meet Eladio? Was Nacho supposed to run things? But even in the last conversation Lalo had with Hector in the nursing home, he said Tuco would take over when he got out of jail.

What were the reasons why Lalo needed Eladio to meet and approve of Nacho?

What sort of intelligence do exams measure exactly?

There was an ask reddit post about signs of intelligence, and a lot of answers involved acing exams with minimal preparation.

I feel like exams can't be the most comprehensive method of testing a person's intelligence.

But since exams are one of the oldest and most popular educational tools for measuring intelligence, have there been studies done on what are the specific kind of intelligence exams actually measure?

If you are set on practicing law in a certain state, is it highly recommended to go to Law School in that state?

Additionally, does that give you certain advantages that make it worthwhile to attend Law School in that state over a higher-ranked law school in another state?

E.G., if you're set on living and practicing law in the state of Alabama, does it make more sense to attend law school at the University of Alabama than say Georgetown Law? Even if the later is a higher-ranked law school?

Is the Chinese chef's knife used a lot for home cooking in China or is it more like a professional's tool?

I mean this knife.

Outside of China, you see every Chef in restaurants serving Chinese cuisine using that particular knife. But you rarely see people using that at home.

But do people in China also use that knife at home in their kitchens, too? Is it a popular tool for home cooking?

What exactly is a Jurist in the Roman Empire and the Republic?

I've always wondered about this, because I know that they were present in the Roman Empire and maybe they were there in the Republic. The famous ones are Ulpian, Gaius, and others.

But I guess I'm really looking for a job description for them. I know that they worked in law, but what was their purpose in Roman society and the legal system? They sometimes give opinions, but they're not like American Supreme Court justices, where their legal opinions are binding, right?

So what did they do? And is Cicero a jurist? I've heard conflicting opinions.

Why did it take so long for there to be a Gold Glove and Silver Slugger award for utility players?

Utility players have been around forever, but why were these awards created for them only recently? What was the rationale in the past for not having these awards for utility players?

In America are certain state's Bar Exams considered harder than others?

This is inspired by the whole Kim K bar exam debacle. I noticed one guy on social media commented that it was absurd for her to try to pass the California Bar Exam, which is considered particularly difficult.

Is that true? If so, are there easier Bar Exams? Or are they not necessarily easier or harder, just different from State to State? E.g., I hear that Louisiana's Bar Exam is very different because it's the only state that still uses the civil law system and not common law.

Why did the Native American civilizations of both North and South America never develop advanced metallurgy?

Civilizations like the Maya and Aztec built massive pyramids, cities with sophisticated urban planning, even developed deep knowledge of astronomy.

If they did all that, why did they never develop the means of forging iron and steel?

Is it possible or allowed to advance two bases on a sacrifice fly?

Before the fielder catches the ball, the runners must tag up. In the case of a sac-fly, if the ball is hit far enough, the runner on third can advance to home.

But what if the runner is on 2nd base, and he thinks he's fast enough, and that the ball was hit far enough, and that the outfielder has a weak arm?

Is he allowed to advance all the way to home plate if he dares? Is the batter still credited with a sac-fly in that case?

Is it better to go to an Ivy League and Ivy League equivalent school for undergraduate or graduate school?

For graduate school, I include professional degrees like Law School, Medical School, Business School, etc.

Obviously, the best thing is to get degrees from both! But if you were given a choice, is it better for your career and your life in the long run to have an undergraduate degree from one of these universities, or a Master's, PhD, JD, MD, etc., from these schools?

Where should people actually be going to, instead of the chiropractor?

I think back pain is a common reason people go to the chiropractor. But since chiropractors are dubious at best, where should people actually go when they have these problems, like back pain?

Is the Wok used in every Chinese home kitchen, or at least the vast majority?

And are the woks all the same size, or do they vary? Also, is every Chinese home kitchen equipped with a large and specialized burner? Because one problem with using woks in western home kitchens is that western burners tend to be smaller and designed for flat skillets.

During the Astros-Dodgers game, an Astros players hit the ball that broke his bat and send a large piece flying towards their shortstop, Kim. He dodged the flying bat to get the live ball and make the play.

But what would have happened if Kim had to completely dodge the bat fragment, maybe because it was too sharp and coming right at him? If he couldn't make the play in that case, would the play still continue, and would he have been charged with an error?

Is there any rule that says an Umpire can stop play at once if he believes the broken bat poses real dangers to the players?

In Western countries where Christianity is the dominant religion, and people grow up steeped in the culture of that religion, they often ask that question.

I know that there are other more popular religions in China other than Christianity. But as I understand it, for Buddhists, the Buddha is not a god, and Taoism has many gods like the Jade Emperor.

So how would you understand that question, and what's your answer?

Every tax season, Reddit and social media promote things like freetaxusa.com where you can file your taxes without paying for tax software like Turbotax and others. But that's usually with the caveat "If your tax situation is simple."

So if you personally paid to file your taxes, what exactly made your tax situation complicated?

I know this isn't alternate history hub, but I finished binge-watching season 1 of HBO Rome again, and I've always wondered about that. I think the sources agree that Caesar was sad when Pompey was killed, not because he couldn't exploit him but because he genuinely cared about Pompey.

So if Caesar did catch up with Pompey and Egypt and brought him back to Rome, do you think anything would change?
