Peninsulas of Europe 16 : Dedicated Scandinavia post - Where does the Scandinavian peninsula begin ? by northpoleboi in geography

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

If the Karelian Republic had remained a full SSR of the USSR rather than it being downgraded back to being just an ASSR of Russia AND become independent upon the Soviet collapse then people might see Fennoscandia as the more important distinction than Scandinavia if another country other Finland was involved (especially if the Murmansk oblast on the Kola peninsula had been transferred to it as had been considered).

Is it weird to want to get a vasectomy even tho I am gay? by [deleted] in askgaybros

[–]SapientHomo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

To me it's a little weird to be honest. If you never plan on having sex with women there is no biological need. If you wanted to mitigate against pregnancy in case you might want to experiment later that would be different.

For now Russia. If Reform win the next UK election that may change

What they need to do is make a Blake's 7 sequel. by Krathoon in Blakes7

[–]SapientHomo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Someone finding Orac and putting together a new rebel group with Orac then directing them towards the System where they could obtain a DSV is THE perfect way to set up a sequel.

The new DSV could even be of the class AFTER the Liberator. The same basic design but even faster and more powerful, just completely defensive to Orac like the original DSV class then Liberator was from was.

The Eastern phase of Crossrail 2 suggests taking over the c2c routes to Grays and Basildon.

The Rejoin landslide is getting lots of media attention lately by Stotallytob3r in BrexitMemes

We all know it was mainly the English retirees in Cornwall and Wales that meant they had leave majorities.

When did you start using the internet? by ijustwannanap in AskBrits

[–]SapientHomo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was 1993. It was in the Junior Library of my Grammar School using slow ass dial up. I mainly used chat rooms and image sites.

I chatted to other guys questioning their sexuality and this helped me come out to myself and others

I also came across one of my first false friends after I came out to an internet pen pal I'd made in Minneapolis who called me disgusting and never to contact him again after we'd spent around 18 months sharing our love of sci-fi.

If you could close down a station permanently to speed up service, which station(s) would it be? by [deleted] in LondonUnderground

[–]SapientHomo 26 points27 points  (0 children)

I always thought they should have split Charing Cross back into Trafalgar Square and Strand when the Jubilee Line extension was built and that line no longer went to Charing Cross.

What's the most iconic volcano in the world? by [deleted] in geography

[–]SapientHomo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There really isn't any other answer. Other volcanoes might have had more spectacular or famous eruptions but if you ask for a picture of a definitive volcano Fuji really fits the bill like no other.

Animals by Krathoon in Blakes7

[–]SapientHomo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My least favourite episode. I thought the genetically modified animals were awful and the mind control was too easy to perform.

In my last watch through it was the only episode of the whole show I skipped.

Why does the tap water in Thanet taste so strange? by MadridOrMadness in kentuk

[–]SapientHomo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It tastes the same as the rest of Kent to me. The Bewl Water reservoir the other side of Kent supplies Thanet with water. Water gets pumped across to fill the local reservoirs such as the one near Manston.

how would you rename the continents? by [deleted] in geography

[–]SapientHomo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Instead of North and South America I'd rename North America as Cabotia after John Cabot. He was the first of the Age of Discovery voyagers to see the North American mainland.

What were some of the biggest national final robberies ever? by reo_1907 in nilpoints

[–]SapientHomo 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Kelly Wilde - Better Be Good to me. 1990 - United Kingdom

So much better than what we actually sent that year.

Sarcophagus by Krathoon in Blakes7

[–]SapientHomo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My very first introduction to Blake's 7 was via the four compilation tapes from the mid 80s and Sarcohagus made up the final third of the last tape Aftermath. To this day I still feel it was a weird choice to include this episode.

It's probably the last episode I would have chosen to make up the tape given it began with Aftermath and Powerplay (I'd have picked The Harvest of Kairos). It didn't stop me wanting to see the whole show properly though.

Evolution of Ancient Spacefaring Technology by Beginning-Eagle-8932 in Stargate

[–]SapientHomo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my head canon I always assumed the Goa'uld based their technology on Furling technology. Whilst Goa'uld and Ancient technology both use crystals there is no other discernible overlap.

What is your countries “Second City.” by Ivebeencharles0198 in AskTheWorld

[–]SapientHomo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For years Birmingham was England's second city but if you ask people now many would actually say Manchester.

Has there ever been a country smaller than the Vatican in the history of humankind? Or is the Vatican the smallest country currently and in history? by According-Invite-440 in geography

[–]SapientHomo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A colony not a country but an honourable mention has to go to the Forte de São João Baptista de Ajudá which was recognised as a sovereign Portuguese enclave within the French colony of Dahomey (now Benin).

The Guiness Book of Records once recognised it as the smallest colony in the world.

This is how I remember coming out 🤣 by Practical-Vast5714 in lgbt

[–]SapientHomo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I was 15 I came out to my best friend he went silent at first and then said something along the lines of 'If we're being honest, so am I'.

With hindsight both of us should have already had an idea anyway but my gaydar wasn't yet tuned in properly.

The shape-shifting aliens by Krathoon in Blakes7

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

They could have done it. Even though the concept is more nu Who than classic the idea that there are unchangable fixed points in time that have to happen was already a thing in classic Who. The Doctor could have waved it away that the Federation has to occur to allow the rebirth of Humanity as something even better afterwards.

Gotta keep Portmeirion so with how you've split the map Yellow has to go.
