Q: Doctor Who total watching time

yuleruleI just watched Day of the Doctor! My God, what a brilliant episode. Tomorrow, I'm watching Time of the Doctor. Anyway, I know there have been plenty of questions on here about most recommended viewing episodes of the Classic Doctor Who. (I'd appreciate some links, of course) But I was wondering...

Q: How do Skrulls age?

ThePopMachineGiven Captain Marvel and the post-credits scene of we've observed Therefore they haven't aged in 29 years (or 24 years if they were blipped). Are Skrulls long-lived? Or do they not appear to change as they age in their natural state, perhaps due to their shape-shifting capabilities? Or...

This should be a comment rather than an answer. You’ve apparently lost your account; you can recover it by emailing from here. — Stormblessed 3 mins ago
Should I mod flag this, or just leave it as a comment?
@closevoters this isn't asking for a list of works or recommendations. — Stormblessed 2 hours ago
Why do I have different numbers of flags and close votes?
Can I use flags if I run out of close votes?
 
@Stormblessed I might be tempted to edit the content into the question (maybe part of it as a comment on the answer, properly attributed) and flag the post for deletion.

Q: Can you join Section 31 by choice?

KiskaIn Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, Bashir is "recruited" by Sloan, Georgiou and Ash Tyler are recruited into Section 31. In any canon material, has anyone ever joined Section 31 by choice? Do they choose who they want and attempt to recruit you?

 
@Stormblessed According to the help page you always have 24 close votes per day. There's a formula for flags, it involves your rep/1000 + number of accepted flags / 10 and IIRC there's a penalty for declined flags.
 
@DavidW Oh, I knew about flags but didn't know that close votes were static. Weird number.
How many flags do you have, @DavidW?
I've got 34

@Stormblessed it kind of is. In any case, this kind of support question is certainly off-topic.
Plus I'm reasonably sure watching it for free is against whatever copyright laws it's under, and the question might lead to spam

A: Are shopping questions on topic?

user56First, a bit of history. Shopping questions became an issue on Stack Exchange with Super User. Computer hardware is within the purview of that site, and it attracts many questions on “what hardware should I buy”. The Super User community is strongly against such shopping recommendations. Jeff agr...

@Jenayah It doesn't appear to fit into one of the exceptional shopping question cases and watching it for free, like you said, is almost certainly illegal and we don't want to encourage that on here so I cast the final close vote
Now to count down the clock for someone VTRO it :P

Q: Doctor Who, All mentions of burning Gallifrey, being the last of the time lords

yuleruleSo I just watched the Day of the Doctor! And the Doctor basically locked Gallifrey in stasis. (With the agreement and knowledge of the High Council) In the End of Time, it seems that the evil High Council is also coming from a time-locked Gallifrey, trying to escape the time lock. And from the f...

Q: Did the Doctor rescue the Time Lords in the end?

Q: Is the chapter "The Houses of Healing" meant as comic relief?

Jeremy FrenchI'm re-reading the LOTR books for the first time in about 20 years, and I was struck by the change of tone in this chapter. We've just had several heavy chapters of death and destruction and this chapter seems to be a farce. We have fussy matrons that don't shut up, and the same with herb lore ...

Q: Civil War story: man hanged from a bridge

Q: Fan-made(?) comics about the next Avatar

A: Where can one watch Supernatural free?

StormblessedYou cannot watch Supernatural free, save for a few episodes, anywhere legally. According to Decider, Supernatural is not legally available free on any streaming services. However, it is on Netflix, at least in the US. Some episodes are free on CW's website. If you can't stream it through Netflix...

@Donald.McLean Greetings, Hubble Guy!
Any idea why this would be deleted? Wouldn't the question be the thing that should get deleted first, not the answers?
It's got a delete vote
New profile picture
 
1:47 PM
@Stormblessed yup, mine. I cast it this morning, before the question was closed. As the question was still open I couldn't vote to delete the question yet (but have now done so)
Insert the whole "don't answer such stuff" speech.
(I also downvoted the two answers and the question)
 
I'm voting to close this question as off-topic because I'm voting to close this as off-topic as this is not about sci-fi or fantasy, but asking to locate a third-party service; this isn't a support site for that, plus I'm reasonably sure watching it for free is against whatever copyright laws it's under, and the question might lead to spam.

Late night? :)
(Note that the person is probably paying at least the equivalent of 25€/mo already (based on basic tier Canadian prices, according to the web) for the services they are subscribed to, so they're not just some random freetard. I understand the question is off-topic, but having been bitten by stupid country-specific restrictions myself, I'm sympathetic to other people suffering from them.)
 
The easiest workaround is just to use a VPN
Annoying when Netflix has a show you want to watch but it's not available in your region... just use your VPN
 
@TheLethalCarrot Don't you then need a subscription to Netflix in the region you're pretending you're from? Or does your Netflix subscription entitle you to view local Netflix in any region you're "present" in?
 
2:02 PM
@DavidW ahah!
 
@DavidW Well I don't know if it breaks the TOS to pretend you're from a different region or not

Netflix started blocking a lot of VPNs about 2 years ago, though.
 
user132126
So you have to pick a specific one.
 
Usually the paid ones aye
The free ones sometimes work but they seem to be actively trying to block them and it's easier to do that with the free ones (as they change less frequently)
 
user132126
I have a feeling it's less about region blocking and more about the free VPNs being used for other illicit activity, so they're more likely to be used by people ripping the media to distribute it.
 
user132126
@DavidW Also, I believe it's where you're at, not where you're a citizen/resident. It's not something that comes from Netflix themselves, but the content they get is all licensed and the networks that provide the content care about which regions their stuff is shown in. Some have legal agreements with other networks or even local government, to broadcast only in certain areas.
 
4:22 PM

Q: Way to sort answers by if they are by Stack Exchange employees

StormblessedSo I was looking at this question, which has a lot of answers. It is tagged status-deferred, meaning that someone working at Stack Exchange responded to it.

StormblessedCommunity! I am writing a bunch of words so this doesn't become a comment because that would suck. Here, look at my link over there and read these words with some line breaks and formatting and then please fix my link: I am become HTTPS, securer of worlds!

@xkcd not bad!
 
@xkcd That one's great!
This would not be the default. Much of the time, CM answers matter more; there are some questions (e.g. meta.stackexchange.com/q/2645/399694) where an answer by Jeff Atwood has an extremely low score and an opposite one by a normal user has an extremely high one but Jeff's answer is the one that wins due to being by the founder. The thing is, while it may seem like it would make a hierocracy, these answers have much more gravity than normal users', especially on feature-requests. — Stormblessed 2 mins ago
@Adamant I used a word (hierocracy) I learned from Stormlight's backstory here :P
See @Jenayah Brandon Sanderson makes you smarter
 
@Stormblessed I think you mean a "hierarchy?" An ordering by authority, rather than a religious system of government?
Unless you're making a veiled insult about the way that SE is run. :)
 
damn
Maybe I didn’t learn that word very well :O
@DavidW Yeah that’s what I meant
 
I think "hierocracy" is roughly government by priests (as in "hierophant"), as opposed to government by a religion which would be a "theocracy."
 
7:22 PM
@Stormblessed correct that to overconfident :P
 
(Because the religion claims it is ruling on behalf of a god, or "theos.")

Q: From which obituary of a "New Republic" editor do these details sound familiar?

LijisheI read it many years ago but infuriatingly cannot find it. It appeared in The New Republic between 2003 and 2012, written by a female writer with remarkably simple, crystalline prose.
