    U.S. has more successful nuclear power with waste stored on site, and therefore no transport and reduced NIMBY.

    It is so much more unsafe to store onsite. Spent fuel sits in a spent fuel pool to keep it safely cooled. This pool is outside the containment building. It’s just a metal industrial building with no protection for the spent fuel. The French have been reprocessing fuel since they started using...
  2. Rome vs Unified Eastern Mediterranean

    This is not true the real advantage rome had was comanders like centurions or tribunes which been better trained to be more independent and it some times payed off as for example in cynoscephalae

    The Q-BAM Improvement and Core Thread

    Yeah, it is an entirely new basemap based on @Spinovenator 's re-projection here It is my first time with something like this as well, but if you'd rather not dip your toes in with that in mind I wouldn't mind
  4. A more realistic (IMO) AHC: US Metro/Regional Transit as good as in Europe.

    One thing could the to slow the decline of Light Rail in US cities throughout the 20th century so that many are still extant in 1973 when the oil shortages occurred. If still extant, even in a considerably reduced form the oil shocks would force more people onto the system and give them a boost...
  5. Of lost monkeys and broken vehicles

    Turkey exported tobacco to the US??? Wow. Talk about coal to Newcastle! And wasn't Turkish tobacco considered strong and rough? I always figured Turkish went into e.g. French Gauloises and to English pipe smokers. I also remember reading about how Americans' cigarette rations in WWII were...
  6. Rome vs Unified Eastern Mediterranean

    Of course unified Greek world would de better against Rome, IOTL Rome used Greek disunity to it's own advantage.
  7. The 30 mm HE shell. The ideal weapon for use by WW2 Allied fighter planes?

    If we're talking about improving the armament of allied fighters in WWII isn't the easiest solution simply to invent the Raufoss MP round earlier?
  8. Place In the Sun: What If Italy Joined the Central Powers?

    They could still rule over some rump Austria
  9. Foreign policy changes after a Bush win in ‘92

    Bush will have a "new" Secretary of State. Our choices here include James Baker, bizarrely Pat Robertson, or someone like Lee Iacocca. A new "advisor" on foreign policy might have impacts. Bush might prefer a "steady hand on the till", someone who would help things go more like OTL Gulf War and...
  10. Rome vs Unified Eastern Mediterranean

    Well that didn’t take long.
  11. Structure and nomenclature of a federalized Roman Republic

    The holy grail of any timeline in which the Roman Republic survives is the Republic making a successful transition from a city-state that happens to rule over a Empire into some form of Federal government, in which outlying regions are not only allowed self government, but also allow to formally...
  12. Mary Tudor bears a son and lives till age 60

    Is it? The causes of the conflict (religious conflict, taxation, centralization of power) would still be there. By the time it started IOTL (1566) the son of Philip and Mary would be only around 11, and Philip would have no reason to really change his policies until then. A rebellion is still...
  13. U.S. has more successful nuclear power with waste stored on site, and therefore no transport and reduced NIMBY.

    Besides, using your fuel rods once then storing forever is stupid and wasteful. Most of the fuel is still there, but chain reaction is stifled by all the neutron-absorbing fission waste. Sensible countries reprocess spend fuel to recycle the usable U-235. Now, a molten fuel reactor with...
  14. WIP Map Thread

    Its meant to be mix of various conspiracy theories and crazy stereotypes I guess that could be the hint (featuring worse COVID, de-facto split of USA and renewed Caliphat, making Molotov-Ribbentrop-ish deal with China)
  15. The Miracle Man:The Presidency of John McCain

    You spelled "Labor" the American way, in the articles about Gordon Brown. Also "Swine flu response team", McCain is going to handle this better than OTL Reagan handled AIDS or Trump handled COVID.
  16. Why are the western allies bombing civilians?

    I'm not sure of the scheme myself but honestly a quick death from an WALLIED bomb seems preferable to the sort of death the Nazi's dealt out.

  18. A more realistic (IMO) AHC: US Metro/Regional Transit as good as in Europe.

    You probably want at least federal negotiators to help settle disputes. Bordering states tend to be rivals.
  19. Jasper Tudor had children. The effects?

    It would certainly be a safer match than a French one or to one of her relatives in her mind, as Henry VIII would not have to worry about the Tudor line being extinguished as in OTL. However, that is assuming if he's going to accept that the future king of England will not be born from him
