  1. Without the Ottomans, what happens to the Mamluks?

    Ah, that´s a wrong conception. The Mamluks didn´t offer much resistance in the indian ocean because the war with the Osmans took up much of their manpower. So with no Osmans pestering them the Portuguese might suffer a defeat... You forget the other emirates that existed alongside the Osmans...
  2. WI: British defeat at the Great Siege of Gibraltar

    If I recall correctly, France/Spain had a chance, but barely missed stopping a resupply fleet. I think it was fairly early in the affair. Had F/S managed the feat, and took possession early by starving B out, this allows them to divert a lot of naval resources elsewhere, or would cause...
  3. A Hippie in the House of Mouse (Jim Henson at Disney, 1980)

    Edutainment or chaos. Well, here's the thing... At first, the ride would mostly be like IOTL. Action-packed, very comedic, and rather light on the education. However, on October 21st, 2015, the ride would get a revamp in honor of the famous day, in which Biff Tannen, who's now a cyborg, hijacks...
  4. A Hippie in the House of Mouse (Jim Henson at Disney, 1980)

    When you think about it, "law-abiding" Yautja are really just a different shade of Klingon.

    Let There be Peace in the Great European Plain: A Story of Teutons and Slavs in 19th Century.

    Watched and liked your TL. I'll be watching with a certain interest.
  6. A Hippie in the House of Mouse (Jim Henson at Disney, 1980)

    The big question would naturally be who would be cast as Doctor Frank-N-Furter? The ride needs it because Epcot needs its attractions to be at least somewhat educational. A version closer to the OTL version could be in TTL's MGM Studios. The fun science experiments (starring a silent Bill Nye)...

    Miscellaneous >1900 (Alternate) History Thread

    The Dutch refuse to cooperate in suppressing the Sulu Sultanate's piracy and slave trade. It nearly happened.
  8. The flame of British Liberalism burns steady and brighter: A timeline from 1945

    I don't think it's been asked here but what happened to Evan Durbin TTL? I assume he died as in OTL because I didn't see him in any of Gaitskell's cabinets but I wondered if he was in the Bank of England or something...

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

    Why can't we have mindless escapist entertainment. This kind of edutainment thinking killed Saturday morning and after school cartoons in the US.
  10. Sir John Valentine Carden survives.

    Seemed to work OK for the RN's MGBs, in a turret...
  11. For All Mankind (AH Tv series at Apple TV)

    I used a 1986 version of WordPerfect (well into the 90s) and that didn’t have a GUI. But now that you mention it, whatever she was using looked a lot more like something you’d boot up from DOS than a Mac program.

    ...Those Marvelous Tin Fish: The Great Torpedo Scandal Avoided

    An accident of history that could have hiccupped WWII in a significant way. That was in Europe, but there were incidents like that one in the Pacific War. Irish Folklore: Traditional Beliefs and Superstitions ... Let's look at the other "Magpie" incidents. Yamamoto, Isoruko. He had help...

    The New Order: Last Days of Europe - An Axis Victory Cold War Mod for HoIIV

    I read those, and... Even for the most hopeful amongst those - Rurik, Tomsk, the NRRF, Kardashev, the Poles - I still felt incredibly sad. I guess that's good writing.

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

    I was under impression that Lucasfilms owned Star Wars, not 20th Century Fox. Problem is Star Wars is far in the past while Star Trek is in the future. A Battlestar Galactica/Star Trek crossover is more likely. Maybe after Word defeats a Yautja hunter. Jim who? Like I said earlier -...

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

    I'd love to see a more edutainment-based BTTF: The Ride. Same with the cartoon.
  16. Discussion: What if Edmund, Earl of Rutland survives Wakefield?

    It would be very interesting to see Elizabeth verses Margaret!
  17. The New Order: Last Days of Europe - An Axis Victory Cold War Mod for HoIIV

    Now this just smacks of black comedy. "OK guys, it turns out that the late blessed Regent had Jewish blood. Shocking, I know. It seems that we had been misled and fooled for... so we must abandon our incredibly fanatical Christian ways and hail Satan!"
