Olli is going to piss himself with laughter when the truth about Rea comes out. The various political factions are going to get a horrible sinking feeling once they twig to the truth.

Zeiss and Siemens were mentioned just not by name in one of the last updates involving a large project in Bavaria. Tons of optical glass and the installation of the infrastructure for a stellar observatory don't just fall from the sky.We've heard from Volkswagen and BMW, but we haven't heard a peep out of Siemens or Zeiss. We've heard a mention of Intel, but about this time a young team of engineers from Santa Monica is starting a company that might give Intel some competition. Likewise, has HP been mentioned.
Unless its an orbital observatory and something goes terribly wrong...Zeiss and Siemens were mentioned just not by name in one of the last updates involving a large project in Bavaria.

People are quite good at outsmarting themselves.'You...you mean we're stuck with the monarchy? With a really popular, progressive Queen, who's going to have children!??'

I wouldn't be too certain. PM hasn't gone too deep into the structure of this ATL German Empire, but as best I read it there's the integrated kingdoms and territories of Germany proper, where a large part should be able to keep at least solvent, though some kind of financial balancing tool might be in place. An ATL Länderfinanzausgleich if you will.Things should get interesting in the new Kingdom of Galicia and Ruthania as it should be one of the few independent countries of the German Empire not to require a large subsidy from Germany to be solvent.
Here, Here!!As my late father used to say ”what you want and what you get mightn’t be the same thing”. Let @Peabody-Martini run his timeline and be thankful for one of the best and most compelling AH timelines around.

In addition from what of diabetes most everyone passes from complications not from the disease state itself.
Baby steps, Marie, baby steps. Words cause lasting damage in seconds and can take forever to heal. Sophie has to learn that, despite Marie's intemperate words, there was no real malice or harm intended and that Marie still truly cares for her.It was the promise of ice cream that caused Sophie to take an interest in moving on. It was how things had gone for the last few months as Marie had tried to do her level best to bring Sophie around. Marie’s mother was adamant that Marie couldn’t just bribe the younger girl into liking her again, she had to be Sophie’s big sister. Why had Tat never had that asked of her? That was the question that Marie had asked. Her mother said that the situation was different because Tatiana and Malcolm were five years older than her. It was enough to make her want to start pulling her hair out in frustration.
This may actual be the breakthrough moment for Sophie; that Kat's family, and society in general, see her as one of them. That they see her as a loved and valued member of their family and that they have no intention of throwing her onto the scrap heap of society or of turning on her as her egg-donor & associated bio-trash did.As the deal was concluded, the Korean woman told Marie to tell Aunt Marcella that she was lucky to have two lovely granddaughters, one of whom spoke Korean. Sophie was dumbfounded when she heard that. Then Marcella said that she was looking forward to a Sunday family meal of lambchops tomorrow…
It could be an early detection of AIDS, it could also be be an early discovery of Legionnaires Disease. It could even be an early discovery of both, with the former making the victim more susceptible to the latter.Young men dying from a pneumonia that is only seen amongst the elderly sounds like AIDS may be detected earlier, the current research has found that AIDS was around much earlier then thought before.
Garden allotments were, and still are (at least in the UK), part of (some) European urban societies as a result of late 19th century social reforms. These ensure a degree of food security for city dwellers.Ben is once again showing Kiki how much he loves her and how much she really needs him at her side to give her the much needed perspective that she lacks at times.
Hopefully the piece of paper that comes with passing the final stage of testing will give Kiki the relief from the pressure that she has burdened herself with.
The vegetables that Aunt Marcella bought at the Farmers Market sounds like they are part of the remnants of the Victory Gardens from WWII and are a nice source of extra money for the people who keep tending them.
Yep sounds like detection about a decade earlier. Just when HIV started to circulate in Europe and the USA, though I wonder if the gay culture in the USA is as big in this time line as it was in OTL as the USA is not as liberal. The first big HIV / AIDS outbreak OTL and found by forensic historical research was in the Belgian Congo in the 1930's during the construction of a railway. It badly affected the indigenous workers. King Leopold's legacy strikes again."Sophie the lamb chops didn't come from the ones you saw in the market".

TrueThat in turn could mean it doesn't come to be seen as 'the gay virus' - if ITTL it circulates among the straight population at the same time, then it'll probably be seen just as 'a killer virus'. Which in turn likely means more done to combat it initially.
