    Q: Would Hitler still be the man we know if he wasn't kicked out of art school?

    My understanding was that he failed the entry exam rather than got kicked out? So he passes and they accept him?
  2. Would Beria have been a good leader for the Soviet Union?

    Yep that one, a person can be a great leader no matter of how much of a monster they are, every single head of state, monarch or autocrat has done monstrous things for the sake of his objectives, ideals or simply for pleasure and it has been proved time and time again that being a good or even a...
  3. Have the Jensen Interceptor be a big seller in the USA.

    ...import, OTOH, does. It need not have Jensen-built bodies, just Chrysler Britain &/or U.S. (whoever signs off) use the Touring design & not f*ck with it to make it "more American". I also agree with the proposal to go with a smaller V8; the 440 was a brute & an enormous gas-guzzler. (The...
  4. Roger Taney Dies, 1855

    Whoever replaced him needs to be as skilled as Alexander at cutting Gordian's knots. Banning slaves from western territories or trying to end slavery by judicial fiat loses at minimum the cotton states. If the new judge wanted to both save the Union and move the ball forward with slavery some...

    WI: The Enterprise completes its five year mission (Star Trek survives for 5 seasons)

    In a timeline , I am working on, Roddenberry does the pilot for Battleground Earth and while it does not go to series , till Earth Final Conflict , he takes over the V TV series as the Producer .
  6. Would Beria have been a good leader for the Soviet Union?

    Regardless of his personal deviances and crimes, he was one of the few people in the Soviet Union who had a grasp of the current situation of the country and where it would lead, if they were to engage in superpower competition against the United States.
  7. Sir John Valentine Carden survives.

    If the Germans try to get into French North Africa all bets are off. As it stands a neutral Vichy is good for Britain, a Vichy supporting German operations even by just allowing them access to Tunisia changes the equation. Thing is any campaign in Europe will take time to get going as the forces...
  8. Trying to Please Everyone: Or Converting multiple Pop Culture Utopias into a Timeline.

    Jefferson Airplane was a band known in the 1960s counterculture. In the 1980s, they were renamed Jefferson Starship. Jefferson Starship recorded "We Built This City", which was largely panned on the basis that it did not fit in to the image or "brand" established by Jefferson Airplane.

    Graphic Thread

    I made the original bar chart in Google Sheets, exported the png to paint.NET, and then edited the colors there. I also opened an original png from the America Elects twitter, and copied the logo and the legend in the upper right (but not the text above it) to the image. I then used those colors...

    Most likely winner in a no-watergate 1976 Presidential election?

    So who do you think is the most likely to win out of these? Assume things go middle of the road/reasonably well: Vietnam having been stabilized, Nixon/Kennedy able to come to an agreement on healthcare in 1974/1975 among other events to indicate it goes smoothly. My top three for most likely...
  11. Q: Would Hitler still be the man we know if he wasn't kicked out of art school?

    Doubtful IMO, he would be more interested in painting.
  12. 1066: Year of the Conquest, and Beyond - Scandinavian England

    Oh definitely. They have power in Orkney of course, some fans in the Isles and the old Danelaw, kind-of-fealty from Scotland. Other than that they don't have much power. As you say it will take years of community-building to assert their rule over England. Indeed. The Norse-Gaels will at least...
  13. AHC: The US with a high speed rail system as prolific as in East Asia or western Europe

    Not to mention the fact that no one lives in the national and state parks (meaning that there's no intermediate customers or long-distance commuters), none of the state or national parks are actually on any kind of sensible route from Los Angeles to San Francisco (or Los Angeles to San Diego, or...
  14. Earliest possible nuclear reactor?

    A PoD that avoids WWI, and the massive damage to nations and economies could see a German and British Empires competing with each other in scientific endeavours, as well as France. Radioactivity is fascinating, and all you need is lots of research into it. Someone discovers the neutron early...
  15. Q: Would Hitler still be the man we know if he wasn't kicked out of art school?

    Would he still have joined the military if he became a painter?

    How'd you make that?
  17. No intermediate cartridge as we know it?

    it's a moot point. without the 7.62*39mm there's no parent case to develop into the 9*39mm

    Sir John Valentine Carden survives.

    Yes.I doubt if they would surrender instead of crossing a border into Vichy territory.And of course Perfidious Albion would follow.
  19. 1066: Year of the Conquest, and Beyond - Scandinavian England

    So I see a problem, Hadrada had with him in his invasion force Norse-Gaels from Dublin, along with Men from Sudreyjar and Mann. Hell, Magnus Haraldsson even tried to put a member of the Ui Imair Dynasty on the Throne of Dublin using a fleet from Norway and the Isles in 1058. The previously...
