  1. AHC: Save a notorious flop

    UCB79 - Don't be so hard on Pia in Santa Claus Saves the Martians, she was only 9 years old then, although admittedly there is no excusing her adult 'career'.
  2. 'Short .30' cartridges became mainstream in 1930s?

    I was looking at the video by Gun Jesus about the French RSC self-loading rifles, that are 100 years by the time video was filmed. Those are fed with 5-round 1-row clips. Jams happen there often, if not always with the last round, but rarely if ever with 1st four rounds. The Chauchat was...
  3. The New Order: Last Days of Europe - An Axis Victory Cold War Mod for HoIIV

    I'm aware! It's very much not subtle that they can be used in some capacity, yes. But as is the case the actual duration and impact of their use is up to a lot of arguable variables. Which especially gets at how clunky trying to make defending South Africa from the Afrikan Shield into another...
  4. WI Saddam Hussein uses chemical weapons against coalition forces during the Gulf War?

    Did the US deploy neutron bomb armed short ranged Lance Missiles or neutron bomb artillery shells from the US or Europe to the sandbox in 1990-1991? I would highly doubt it considering they were no plans to upgrade them after May 1990 and they were removed from service in 1992.
  5. WI Saddam Hussein uses chemical weapons against coalition forces during the Gulf War?

    The U.S. was a signatory to the 1925 Geneva Protocol. Not going to use CW in the classic tit-for-tat game. Also not going to stand for American forces be the subject of a WMD attack. Folks don't get to use Bug Spray on American Troops in a very public way and live to tell the tale. That would...
  6. Patton in Korea/MacArthur in the White House

    Nothing good would have come from MacArthur in the White House !
  7. AHC: Save a notorious flop

    OK uncle- there are exceptions to every rule! But that’s it!
  8. WI Jesus was Executed by Sawing

    Jesus could be a composite person. There could have been someone renowned for healing, someone that got crucified and his body stolen, someone that claimed to be mesiah, someone claiming to be the king of the jews and eventually pushed into single figure for legitimacy. So Jesus as we know him...
  9. The Tudor Rose over Brittania

    Well, in OTL both she and her elder sister made foreign matches and is possible who the King of France would be instead favorable to an English match for her. True
  10. Maximum Population of Greenland?

    So the Little Ice Age seems to have spoiled any good perspectives for any pre modern settlement. Maybe dont have erosion of the soil and don´t deplete the original forests. Maybe Greenland could be a habor for any North America traders. Maybe even a small town could be possible instead of a...
  11. Jesus is excommunicated and exiled rather than executed

    I heard that Hinduism or buidism had some similer themes to Christianity so prehapse he winds up catching on leading to some spin off like the otl Sikhs
  12. Fumbling through the Wilderness - a TL from 1918

    Well I'm glad you enjoy this TL! And that the granular detail and semi-academic prose isn't too dry and overwhelming. I try to keep people engaged, even if it's like watching a sandcastle be built by a grain at a time. I hope you enjoy a non-Tory MP for Croydon South, even if it's over a century...
  13. WI Jesus was Executed by Sawing

    That is the contemporary historical consensus, yes, and is all I have been claiming. There very likely was someone named Yeshua ben Joseph who was a prophet and healer active in Palestine in the late 20s A.D., who was probably crucified by the Romans c. 30 A.D., and whose followers proved to be...
  14. Mad Bad Rabbit

    Jesus is excommunicated and exiled rather than executed

    He wanders east across Asia and ends up in Shingō Japan? https://www.smithsonianmag.com/history/the-little-known-legend-of-jesus-in-japan-165354242/
  15. Jesus is excommunicated and exiled rather than executed

    Wasn't Elisha ben Abuya excommunicated?
  16. The New Order: Last Days of Europe - An Axis Victory Cold War Mod for HoIIV

    Operation Ranch Hand was the OTL name of the program to spray South Vietnam with defoliants, so it is absolutely not being subtle at all about what is going on in TNO-verse.
  17. Jesus is excommunicated and exiled rather than executed

    I know that modern orthodox jews have something similar to excommunication, I've seen it applied when a husband wouldn't give his wife her get, in which case after talking with the elders and refusing he is marked as outcast, no one would buy from him, talk with him, pray with him, allow him...

    Jesus is excommunicated and exiled rather than executed

    I’m pretty sure that excommunication was a very specific Christian practice, as far as I’m aware (someone more knowledgeable can correct me if wrong) Jews of the second Temple period didn’t have a way to disbar members in the community unless one was considered unclean by the ritual purity laws...
  19. Striving for a world transformed by justice and peace - a TL from 1827

    Emily Elliott told Margaret Stephenson that she and her children would not leave their house. She had friends there, a good job with a network of customers for the clothes she made. Her two elder children had good jobs, and her two younger children liked their school. She said that...
  20. WI Jesus was Executed by Sawing

    Myths and tall tales probably. I do believe Jesus existed but I also think miracles didn't. He's not the son of God, God himself, sending himself, to sacrifice himself to himself to forgive us. He was just one of many such contemporary prophets and religious reformers whose greatest success was...
