  1. WI: 2014 La Habra Quake was "the Big One"

    So they don't meet California Building Code?
  2. WI: 2014 La Habra Quake was "the Big One"

    Wrong location and way too small. Both the 2004 Boxing Day and 2011 Tohoku tsunamis were caused by Great Quakes (9.3 and 9.0 respectively) with the epicenter located underwater creating something of bathtub slosh effect. The top quake the Puente Hills fault can generate is only a 7.5 and the...
  3. Was it possible for Germany to win WW2?

    Sweet Jesus! This book is a love letter to Hitler. Trolling straight from the gate. We divorce you. To Coventry with you.
  4. Map Thread XII

    Well, since it is clearly related to current politics, was motivated by Political Chat, and caused political comment, it seems that Political Chat is more of the correct Forum.
  5. Map Thread XII

    Just because you could doesn't mean you should. Political Chat exists for a reason.
  6. Map Thread XII

    Wrong forum for this sort of comment. Political chat exists for a reason.
  7. Pearl Harbor the unfought battle

    It wasn't, but the location was a known one for the fleet to use as a gathering spot, so scouting it was common sense.
  8. Pearl Harbor the unfought battle

    These are the actual instructions given to Nagumo, based post war U.S. investigation/interrogation/document recovery ( taken from the USSBS - Pacific) I have bolded the most relevant portions. It is important to keep in mind that the Kido Butai sent float planes to both Pearl Harbor and...
  9. WWII: German Air Force doomed from the start?

    The Bf-109 was a brilliant mid-1930s design. Still, it was a mid-1930s design. It was simply outclassed by the aircraft later introduced by the Allies, especially the P-51 and later models of the P-47. The -109 has excellent maneuverability and if a Luftwaffe pilot was able to entice an...
  10. Alternate warships of nations

    Man, a ramp strike would be dramatic on this ship. Fun design though.
  11. WI: Oliver Cromwell chose to become King?

    Uh... Ya. You just crossed the line from troll to bugfuck nuts. We divorce you.
  12. The consequences of an errant shell

    Rasputin would likely never had ANY influence in this T/L. He managed to convince the Tsarina that he could help with Alexei's hemophilia, which was what gave him his big break and unhealthy influence on the Royal Family. I actually thought you were going to make no Alexei = no hemophilia =...
  13. AHC: Make Communism and religion compatible

    Not quite sure about this. Ilich Ramírez Sánchez (aka: Carlos the Jackal) was dedicated Marxist-Leninist and a member of the PFLP. The now defunct Red Army Faction (aka: Baader-Meinhof Gang) was also a supporter of and trained with both PFLP and PLO emements. The PFLP is itself a clearly...
  14. The consequences of an errant shell

    The only thing better for an arms supplier than an arms race is an arms race where you supply arms to both sides. :D
  15. The consequences of an errant shell

    No anti-boat guns?
  16. The consequences of an errant shell

    I just went through this. VERY nice work. Keep it up!! :D
  17. Indian Point Is hit on 9/11

    Even then what you get is a SCRAM'd reactor, not a release.
  18. Indian Point Is hit on 9/11

    Its questionable if an airliner, even one the size of a 757/767, would manage to penetrate the containment building, much less manage to damage the reactor to the point that you'd have a significant release of material. If one did occur it would impact NE Long Island, Connecticut, and...
  19. AHC: Anti American India

    Well, this covers most of the 1970s. Religious Terrorism wasn't much in fashion then, just political and mainly limited to the Palestinian/Israel situation and the Red Army Faction/Baader-Meinhof/Red Brigades Communist revolutionaries. "Carlos the Jackal" (true identity Ilich Ramírez Sánchez)...
  20. WI: Barack Obama Assassinated During Health Care Debate

    Six of your eighteen posts are conspiracy theory/secret civilization craziness, along with a couple fairly nasty bits on suppression of the ANC/majority population in South Africa. Life's too short for chasing this sort of stuff all over the Board, ya' know. We divorce you.
