  1. WI Jesus was Executed by Sawing

    Executed by sewing for me....
  2. AHC: State-owned enterprises more widely accepted in USA

    That's why I think that management should be more autonomous, independent and give incentives for initiative in state-owned enterprises.
  3. Medieval America Mark III

    Breed Name: Michigan retriever (often simply called “retrievers” by residents of the Great Lakes) Species: Dog (Canis lupus familiaris) Origin/Range: While variants can be found across the Great Lakes, the most common kind is from Chicago, which allowed the breed to spread via trade. Ancestral...
  4. DBWI: Kurt Cobain Escapes the Rehab Center?

    Yes, but the lawsuit from Jacques Brel's family (the man who wrote the original song "Le Moribund" that Seasons in the Sun was based off of) wasn't the best thing.

    WI Jesus was Executed by Sawing

    I read it as “executed by swag.”
  6. AHC: State-owned enterprises more widely accepted in USA

    To me, that’s the tension, and I appreciate both of you all’s comment. A big goal of TVA was to set a base of how cheaply you can deliver power. And not let all the contract companies get away with murder year after year. But . . . once the initial energy and momentum of TVA is gone and...

    WI Jesus was Executed by Sawing

    Often from what i've seen while quickly skimming google right now, the method was mostly used by the more bloodthirsty, sadistic tyrants on special occasions. I guess sawing a man in half through his buttocks was just too messy and gruesome to gain widespread acceptance compared to the lengthy...
  8. Place In the Sun: What If Italy Joined the Central Powers?

    Its a meme from the warhammer 40k franchise. This character Vulcan was thought dead but showed later when the imperium was being invaded.
  9. What if the US found actually found Nuke’s in Iraq?

    If the USA thought that Sadam had an actual nuke would there be the invasion?
  10. Ghastly Victories: The United States in the World Wars
    Threadmarks: Part 2-30

    …By April 20th Entente forces had recaptured all the territory lost in the previous year. The advances was arguably slowed more by the need to haul supplies over the devastated no mans land created earlier in the fighting than German actions. Despite having the opportunity to fort up at several...
  11. WI: Wilhelm II is a pacifist

    It weren't just the generals. Most politicians except the Social Democrats (and even some of their right-wing) wanted for Germany to get a "place at the sun". And if we don't propose ASBs taking over the other governments in Europe, this place at the sun can only be achieved through struggle...
  12. Remember the Texas! The United States in World War II (an alternate history)

    Where is Albert Wedenmeyer? He was more simpacto with the generalismiso then Vinegar Joe.
  13. The Professor

    1066: Year of the Conquest, and Beyond - Scandinavian England

    Technically pre Conquest an English Earl was more like a Duke than a Count.
  14. Place In the Sun: What If Italy Joined the Central Powers?

    Vulkan? Can't say I know that reference... would you mind please filling me in? I considered that, but find it doubtful. Bohemia was a fairly content part of Cisleithania for centuries and it's hard to imagine them walking away without a bloody good cause (ie, the Habsburg Monarchy losing WWI...
  15. What if NAZI Germany didn’t build battleships?

    If Germany doesn't target the UK then it is still being strangled by the blockade. And the US leadership isn't stupid, German hegemony over Europe is a threat to the USA and support for aiding the UK increased when it became clear they weren't going to be immediately defeated so Lend Lease is...
  16. Have Space 1999 be more successful

    I posted this a while back on the personal pop culture utopia thread. It’s more a reboot than an ATL Space 1999 but maybe some of this would’ve helped with the original. Space 2099 The aborted reboot goes ahead...having re-read what I've typed up, this sounds like a cross between Space 1999...
  17. Was the first Sino-Japanese war the last chance to save the Qing?

    Let’s say the Qing hold on for a close victory against Japan. Close enough that they have major incentive for reform without the economic damages suffered from repayment to Japan, what would the Qings prognosis be going forward for survival?
  18. WI: Wilhelm II is a pacifist

    Does that mean General chief of staff in Germany had a lot of more decision making authority than it is being portraited in history record? It was pushing for war? If so, what did they have to gain? What was the benefit?
  19. AU Fiction: CFL-USA - A different telling.

    Indeed. Love this post. I have always had a fanasty about a joint Super Bowl Grey cup play for a North American championship.
  20. WI Jesus was Executed by Sawing

    There are records of it happening, but not that often. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Death_by_sawing
