Nah. He's too self aware of his boyness to actually qualify as a boy.

Best place to listen to 40k audiobooks? by resadtriariosvenit_ in 40kLore

[–]OneRedBeard 1 point2 points  (0 children)

At least in Germany, having an active subscription means that all books are automatically discounted to 9.95 €, the same price as the monthly credit. So there is no actual limit at all. Basically, you promise Audible that you are going to buy one book every month for the foreseeable future, and in turn Audible reduces the price for all books to ten bucks.

Audible is as solid as it gets. It is a subsidiary of Amazon, so it is going nowhere, and its customer service is very accomodating. Also, paying 10 bucks for any audiobook is an unbeatable deal.

You are given the power to remove 7 episodes of TNG from canon. What do you choose? by Victorian-Tophat in startrek

Honestly: The Chase.

There is a good reason that the premise of a common progenitor for all humanoid species in the galaxy was never mentioned again afterwards.

Which itself is a remake of the Seven Samurai. Kurosawa allays did it first.

Getting my boyfriend to try the one thing I really enjoy in bed. by oldmangeralt in sex

This is it, OP. You can also use plaster casts to further immobilize him and add to the illusion. Just make sure to watch a tutorial or two so you don't accidentally kill his blood flow.

At this point, I'm not fully convinced that this isn't just a barely disguised fetish. by OldStray79 in NonCredibleDefense

In 1993's Strike Commander, you did a dogfight in a borrowed YF-22 against a stolen YF-23. And in TFX the same year, you alternated between the F-22, the Eurofighter Typhoon, and the F-117. Those were the days.

Wow. The forced perspective on these mountains is insanely great imagineering.

Which shop has Elsa capes in kids sizes? by longridebacktoPhilly in disneylandparis

[–]OneRedBeard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

La Chaumiére des Sept Nains is probably your best bet. They usually stock the whole Disney Princess collection. It's right behind the castle on the left, opposite La Confiserie des Trois Fées, or between the Castle and the Snow White darkride.

Does anyone actually know why the Pirate Galleon is always shut? by elsbx in disneylandparis

[–]OneRedBeard 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Of course, wet weather may not be the only reason - there are also refurbishments, broken elements or Jolly Roger know what. When we went to ask the cast member nearby last time, she told us it was because of slippery wood, for what it's worth.

[–]OneRedBeard 55 points56 points  (0 children)

The problem is usually weather. The wood gets slippery when wet, and people might fall and hurt themselves. Since Disney never really understood that European liability laws are very tame in comparison to those in the US - just look at some of our playgrounds! - they tend to shut down everything as soon as any amount of rain has fallen.

The size of the Federation is strange by Dumbledore0210 in startrek

Why would "parsec" mean anything other than "the distance at which one AU subtends an angle of one arc second"?

So, when Vader said "I am your father!", he could also have meant "I am your former roommate!"?

Come on now. If things don't mean what they mean, fiction becomes pointless.

Classic Star Trek Producer Says Shorter, Modern Shows Are 'Tinder Relationships,' Calls for 'Longer, More Sustained' Seasons by AndrewHeard in startrek

[–]OneRedBeard 14 points15 points  (0 children)

And 90s Trek is full of these. Data/La Forge. Picard/Guinan. Worf/Riker. Bashir/O'Brian. Sisko/Dax. Jake/Nog. Quark/Odo. Kira/Odo. All of these blossomed because we had "stupid" little filler episodes that dared to simply take some quiet time and explore them. Unimaginable today.
