  1. Battle Royale: The Last Generation Of An SNES-CD Saga

    I'm all right, but still not quite ready to return to writing for the timeline. I'll try to start replying to various PMs/questions soon, but I still need more time. It'll be worth the wait once I do go back, I promise ^_^
  2. A Hippie in the House of Mouse (Jim Henson at Disney, 1980)

    Another great article Geekhis, I knew Genndy and Craig would show up at some point. Though with their connection to 'H.H.' I am wondering if this will effect their shows. Interested where the Henson Princess and her country girl bestie will be going next.

    Everything Has Gone Green: The Consequences of Googling Murray Bookchin

    Nothing To My Name: A New China In the PRC, paramount leader Zhao Ziyang was in quite a balancing act. Zhao was frequently referred to as the Chinese Gorbachev, but the news coming out of Moscow made him quite cautious. As leader of the PLA, general Yang Shangkun was responsible for keeping...

    What happens if Rock Island chooses the Christie Route to American armor for WWII?
    Threadmarks: Brain farts and the clean up hitter takes the plate.

    As usual you are correct; sir. I just could not remember the name for the spring washer stack. Let's look at it. Incidentally I think the Quora commentator was confused. Some, actually most, torsion bar suspension systems still have to use a shock dampener as a "bell crank feature" to limit...
  5. AH Cultural Descriptions

    Milton Hershey was well known philanthropy and corporate paternalism, and he explicitly spoke against the evils of Fordism, where he saw, somewhat correctly the darker path that lead to Fascism. His corpora-pacifism was routinely mocked in Henry Ford’s papers as being “The Chocolate Messiah”...
  6. These Radicalised Isles; What if Joseph Chamberlain became Prime Minister?

    And it's paradoxical ideals that make for the most intriguing politicians to follow and learn how contrasting ideals can find common ground. Another example was Prince Chichibu, an ardent Anglophile and domestic liberal yet a staunch militarist at the same time.

    The Forge of Weyland

    Well I don't pretend to be an expert on German tank production. But as I recall they were obsessed with size. The bigger the better as far as they were concerned. Big guns massive armour , massive tanks. The British tank that gets the most attention will therefore be the Cutlass . Once...
  9. What were the biggest tech and weapon mistakes and missed opportunities of Germany in ww2

    M-47s weren't even built until 1951, the French dumped their Panthers by 1949. Even Perishings were rarely available to the French at that early date, if at all. We needed them for ourselves.

    What happens if Rock Island chooses the Christie Route to American armor for WWII?

    I often find that's true with many threads here. I have learned so much history on this site. It's so often peer-review level discussion by people with deep knowledge of a topic who often are in deep disagreement on interpreting the data in play.
  11. What were the biggest tech and weapon mistakes and missed opportunities of Germany in ww2

    Me-210 line was not scrapped, it was making Me 410s after a while; the -410 being powered by DB 603 engines instead of DB 601 or 605 engines, with a wing that 'lost' the sweep (to cater for heavier engines messing up with CoG). All in all, both German and Hungarian production seems to be 702...
  12. Prince Waldemar of Prussia made King of Nepal in 1845

    Hmm if in 1857 nepal got a rebellion will prussia helped nepal (i mean a prussian king is in charge) though to be fair if its only a rebellion i think waldemar/prussian trained soldier would easily crush them since i bet prussia will gave waldemar some prussian weaponry and cannons

    A Hippie in the House of Mouse (Jim Henson at Disney, 1980)

    This Tech Grrl idea/movement really sounds like the stuff we will see a movie about in the late 90's/00's... I wonder where Heather and Jeri are heading? Computer animation? Aladdin or B&tB? Oscar territory? More please @Geekhis Khan More! P.S. Does the Beauty and the Beast TV show still...
  14. For All Mankind (AH Tv series at Apple TV)

    I know @Polish Eagle and @lucaorom are talking engineering, something I can’t really jump into, but just to point out that the show indicated that NASA did the designing on this shuttle rather than the Russians. It’s so cool that you can both dig into the AH of rocket-building decisions, but...
  15. Which leader had the biggest cult of personality: Stalin or Hitler?

    ...ideology and Communist Party, and both were capable of surviving it, the 'Hitler myth' was structurally indispensable to, in fact the very basis of and scarcely distinguishable from, the Nazi Movement and its *Weltanschauung.*" https://books.google.com/books?id=uwOXG_Ott9MC&pg=PA34

    So, a much worse troubles that'd lead to a much more radical political decision from the Ulster?
  18. What if the US found actually found Nuke’s in Iraq?

    There was a very funny joke at the times in the french satirical puppet show "Les Guignols de l'info". During the joke, an US official stated "we have proof the Iraqi have chemical weapons, look at those documents here, they ordered those weapons from us, and we delivered a few years ago" Then...

    Prince Waldemar of Prussia made King of Nepal in 1845

    Sorry for the late reply! I think this could be a controversial issue in the Nepali court, but definitely not so scandalous in Nepal, considering we have had foreign kings occupying ( the Shahs are descended from Indian Muslims ) but because of how anti-Christian sentiments in Nepal are, I dont...

    Is civilizational centrism inevitable?

    No, the Ottomans were centered in the Balkans. That was the core and the most important part of the empire. Anatolia was a source of man power but economically, politically and culturally the core was in Europe. Ottoman capital was also in Europe from 1363 till the end of the empire in 1922.
