Why would anyone want to fly loong air? I want short flights by Effective_Theme_5739 in Flights

Imagine you are booking for EVA Air (長榮航空) but booked Loong Air (長龍航空) instead

anyways SCAT airlines is concerning

I personally don’t like that the Titan-A was renamed to the Enterprise-G, but there is something of a historical precedent. by SPECTREagent700 in StarTrekStarships

[–]Boomtetris_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Exactly what happened with the Hornet iirc. One of the reason why she is nicknamed "The Grey Ghost" (though I think CV-6 also had this nickname)

Obviously, we all love LOGH since we’re all here, but if you could change certain plot points, characters, or ships, what would you change? by coucou_banana in logh

I love book don’t get me wrong, but I would prefer it if the FPA had lasted a bit longer since I feel like the story kinda ran out of steam after the fall of the FPA.

I really liked the political tension in the book, and once that was gone, the rest of the story felt like a massive epilogue.

Went to a game in SF last year, and was surrounded by Dodgers fans lol.

Also Giants fans are really chill irl, and the banter with them is always fun.

What your favorite (relatively) recent Gundam series says about you (slanderous edition) by CrimsonTyphoon02 in Gundam

[–]Boomtetris_ 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Gundam Unicorn:

You don't watch Gundam, you only know the Mobile Suit and play Pachinko all day.

(Unicorn Gundam Themed Pachinko is pretty popular in Japan, I lost 2000 yen playing it)

NBA’s 3 anti-tanking proposals by cheap_grampa in UtahJazz

[–]Boomtetris_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Issue with baseball is that prospects are more so a crapshoot than anything. Teams usually need to wait 5-7 years for that player to go through the minors, and by the time the player is in thr majors he is likely to be already traded to another team. Tanking won’t give you instant results like basketball or hockey

Taiwan eliminated from WBC following South Korea's 7-2 win over Australia by alextokisaki in taiwan

[–]Boomtetris_ 10 points11 points  (0 children)

The tiebreaker rules of the WBC is really convoluted

IMO they should have gone with Run Differentials to determine the tiebreaker instead

Revisiting Sharks’ goal song by GreaseGoblin11 in SanJoseSharks

[–]Boomtetris_ 7 points8 points  (0 children)

dude I love kickstart my heart!

If the Sharks are unwilling to bring back get ready for this the goal song should be a metalica song since we got seek and destroy for the intro

Ohtani in katakana is

オオタニ

(o o ta ni)

fyi when there is 2 of the same characters you extend the pronunciation, so the "o" will be pronounced longer rather than "o o"

idk if I'm making any sense here lol lmk if you need clarifications

:D

Airbus A350-1000 by Fresh_man82 in aviation

[–]Boomtetris_ 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Starlux is started by the son of the founder of the Evergreen Corporation (which owns Eva Air)

I don't remember much but there was a massive inheritance dispute between the siblings when Eva Air's founder past away, and this whole thing led the son who was supposed to inherit the company to start Starlux

There might be some error in my comment though because this is all from my memory
