    Stupid Luck and Happenstance, Thread III

    Oh, I should've kept scrolling. Yeah, it's not all the way done cooking, but I wonder if Ritchie would be looking to figure out how to upgrade it. By now, butterflies should've got into development paths, anyway.

    I was wondering how you were going to handle this. My experience using these facilities in my USAF years was more like a DIY shop where you rented tools & mostly worked by oneself, but with three decades removed crosstime, it would be another atmosphere. Considering my first car was a 1987...

    Alternative History Armoured Fighting Vehicles Part 3

    Is it bad that my evolving reaction to the, "Make SPAA more relevant" discussion is the following? If SPAA didn't help as much as desired in the assigned role, what do you do with similar armaments, even if you have to expand/accept other base models? If we're discussing alternate timelines...

    Hans is still doing that? How often does he and Doug cover the same game? Since those two have been friends for over thirty years now, I'm sure Doug has had a separate portfolio just covering the ITTL Bundesliga by now. Hans covering Hertha winning the title would be the pinnacle of his life.

    Sports What Ifs.

    More of a sports culture WI, but: What would happen if NFL players celebrated touchdowns, (nothing rehearsed and/or complicated), with their team's mascot? The thought came to me because I know if I'd have scored for the Eagles, I might wind up trying to high-five or hug Swoop.

    Doing anything athletic anywhere near the Atlantic coast in summer is always it's own flavor of pain in the ass due to the humidity, Gulf included of course.

    Until Every Drop of Blood Is Paid: A More Radical American Civil War

    A "Commitment of Assistance" with the price being a Subic Bay lease & some business concessions wouldn't be too far off the mark for this sort of TL, if I'm reading it right.

    Oh, no... The bad joke @Peabody-Martini set us up with is even worse. Kissinger's end is the result of a limp FAP.

    Ok, I'll bite, and admit I imagined Asia thinking, "It was Werth it."
