    Discussion: What if Edmund, Earl of Rutland survives Wakefield?

    Yes, but the enemies will beg to differ. Welp they may as well help dig the grave. Hmm, I suppose. I doubt this. If Henry Tudor is under Edmund's tutelage, he's gonna be a loyal vassal so there'd be no need to confiscate the lands. Especially since he is wealthy enough as is. Heck it would be...
  2. WI Germany goes South in operation Barbossa

    1. requires notzis and the Germans to have much more food available to them. 2. requires a completely different make up of Luftwaffe command figures with who knows what knock-ons for earlier in the War. Also whats the impact of the nazi's limited economy building bigger bombers on it's CAS...
  3. AHC: is it feasible if the world started diversfying away from fossil fuels much earlier

    If Thomas Midgley Jr. doesn't invent leaded petrol, automobile development will be somewhat retarded, so trams and trolley-buses will stick around longer. Although I suppose that only moves the issue, since, in many places, the electricity will be generated at plants burning fossil fuels.
  4. What if the U.S. outsourced manufacturing to post-Soviet Russia instead of China?

    They can but it is an uphill fight and can't be done overnight. The USSR literally had generations of people in which only "fulfilling the five year plan" mattered. Where about the only thing that mattered is if it got out of the factory not whether it worked well or not. That kind of thinking...
  5. American Chernobyl: The Grand Forks Nuclear Disaster of 1980

    I will concede that, in every variation of wind direction I have tried in NukeMap, I have yet to get a casualty count anywhere close to what Trevithick does. Is he adding in long term deaths from cancer, etc? I have no idea. Of course, lt us say that it's only 2-3,000 (basically, the entire...
  6. AHC/WI: Earlier environmentalism

    I think that environmentalism as we know it arose more as a response to the Industrial than the Agricultural Revolution, so I think an earlier environmentalism should be possible. Cheaper clothes and metal products are certainly a good thing, but they're less basic than food.
  7. GOP position on abortion in a timeline where Moral Majority never took off

    Ya, not a chance of this NOT going current political. Closed per posted policy
  8. Discussion: What if Edmund, Earl of Rutland survives Wakefield?

    More likely she was 13. They've certainly got a death wish then. Without a hitch most likely. Edward IV's not known for his fairness in legalities, it is more than likely that the marriage contract specifies that her estates would be his if they annul the marriage/she predeceases him without...
  9. For All Mankind (AH Tv series at Apple TV)

    You don't need an atmosphere for a laser to function; in fact, not having an atmosphere means that it will work better since there is little possibility of dust, fog, or other atmospheric contaminants scattering the laser light.
  10. WI Germany goes South in operation Barbossa

    there was an undeniable opportunity for the Axis to control the Baltic and Black Seas, eliminating the Soviet fleets and aiding their own logistics. there were several Soviet evacuations that aided the defense of Leningrad and Sevastopol that could have been stopped by the KM, or at least...
  11. Sir John Valentine Carden survives.

    Damn dust in my eyes...
  12. Goeben Atlantic breakout

    The relative strengths at Heligoland were 5 battlecruisers, 8 light cruisers, 33 destroyers and 8 submarines for the RN versus 6 light cruisers, 19 torpedo boats and 12 minesweepers for the IGN. Cutting a couple of BCs or even all of them still doesn't tilt the balance in the German's favour...

    Jasper Tudor had children. The effects?

    They probably would, a lot of their expeditions left from their. Hmm, true especially without Normandie they could be weakened.
  14. U.S. has more successful nuclear power with waste stored on site, and therefore no transport and reduced NIMBY.

    But that still involves putting it on the road twice, right? LATER EDIT: Just once. We transport it to Hanford, process it there, and store it. —————————————— But let’s say we were both members of the U.S. House and the evolving majority position was wait and see — yes, we have plenty of...
  15. American Chernobyl: The Grand Forks Nuclear Disaster of 1980

    It is a fair point, I *think*, based on the information given, which is why I said: I don't know if Dr. Batzel was just trying to put the fear of God into the committee, or if there was something else going on that is not declassified. Do note, though, that "Chernobyl" was *Batzel's*...

    Discussion: What if Edmund, Earl of Rutland survives Wakefield?

    That could be the reason, but then again according to some she may have been 15. Besides his enemies (the Lancastrians) will definitely make it look like his problem. Wonder how the divorce would go. I don't see why he wouldn't inherit them. Maybe Edmund gets an estate or two but most would go...
  17. Jasper Tudor had children. The effects?

    Yes. And now that you mention it, they might still go out and claim colonies but a much slower pace than in OTL. Recently watched a video on YouTube that talked about what happened if Harald Hardrada became King of England instead of William the Conqueror, and that video mentioned that if the...
  18. WI/AHC: A Soviet Game Console

    And, given that the foreign trade was monopolized by the state and the hard currency was hard to come by, there would be no intent to buy them in substantial quantities, so the few kits that we would import would have ended on the shelves of the Beriozka stores or in the hands of some...
  19. Separated at Birth: America and Drakia

    Into the Fandom forum it goes then. Believe it or not but there's a significant amount of characters that arrived on Earth before First Contact (Guinan, Mestral, etc). Thanks!
