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

    I don't think most stations want or have the capability to store it....forever. Because that is what you need. Long-term storage on a scale humans can't even really conceive.
  2. Small Steps, Giant Leaps: How (Almost) Every Apollo Astronaut Made it to the Moon

    And once again another cool update. So we’ll get at least to Apollo 20 and there are almost definitely more space stations. Titan 3E deploying ATM is interesting - maybe a Transtage can get it to Skylab vicinity and possibly obviate the need for two crew to steer it to docking.
  3. British Empire in WW2 using colonial forces across pacific and european theatres in much larger numbers

    When I say inferior, I don't mean in quality I mean in numbers. By the end of the ww2, Britain had run out of men to fight with which was of concern to its generals given how pugnacious Churchill was about fighting the USSR I understand Britain mobilised 10 million of its men in total, which...
  4. AHC: is it feasible if the world started diversfying away from fossil fuels much earlier

    Delay WW1. Frank Shuman had a solar-thermal pumping station built in Egypt in 1913, so presumably without the war, that might have come to something.
  5. Map Thread XX

    Although it could be fun to go to that level of specifics, I'mma think it's wise to limit myself to countries and 1st level subdivisions. Actually I just finished the first in the series - Scotland, Nova Scotia, and New Caledonia. I'm thinking this is about 2 generations after the ISOT. By the...

    Why is Allende some conquering dictator ITTL?
  7. Why are the western allies bombing civilians?

    You don't need a camp to kill folks en masse. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Death_marches_(Holocaust)
  8. Sir John Valentine Carden survives.

    I think I've started something here

    What party would Knox & Wayne end up in?

    Wasn’t Vermont super DemRep? Don’t know if that really counts though. Now that’s a fascinating prospect, do you think that they would join Hamilton and Adams as party leaders and mediate between the two or simply use their popularity to dominate in the former two’s stead? -once again, thanks a lot.
  10. U.S. has more successful nuclear power with waste stored on site, and therefore no transport and reduced NIMBY.

    In fact, I think this would be an example of both good policy and good politics. If you run a decision tree and look at risk, it’s probably better to store on-site than to put nuclear waste on the nation’s roads and rails. And instead of concentrating the waste and having a super security...

    Primavera d'Italia: War, Love and Revolution

    Happy Liberation Day @Tarabas and @LordKalvan too of course. Thank you for writing this amazing story 🤩😍🤩
  12. The 30 mm HE shell. The ideal weapon for use by WW2 Allied fighter planes?

    Or for when you absolutely, positively have to stop something, mount a 57mm!

    future of axis member in Third Reich victory scenario

    Egypt & Iraq. Nationalistic puppet regimes would likely be installed and preserved by German and Italian garrisons. Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, & Ukraine. If Germany adopts a more pragmatic approach to the east, then these states may gain or retain some semblance of autonomy. Armenia, Georgia...

  15. Why are the western allies bombing civilians?

    Look up the Childrens section of Canada at Auschwitz and proceed to never sleep or eat again.

    Why are the western allies bombing civilians?

    I don't get the idea bombing Auschwitz would have considerably slowed the Holocaust. Like, couldn't the Nazis have just let the Jews starve on the trains or something? Mass murder isn't really a difficult process.
  17. Sir John Valentine Carden survives.

    The first version of the Schofield was a dogs breakfast no better than the Bob Sempil (but more difficult to build) but the final version would have made a reasonable light tank for 1940 and an acceptable armoured car throughout the war. When it was ready though the need had passed.
  18. Earliest self-rule for India as a part of the British Empire

    Unless the British are Mongols I can't quite see how they cause the decline of the Islamic world which began with the invasion and genocide caused by the Mongols which the middle east never really recovered from. Turkeys decline is more caused because the rise of Austria and Russia which helped...
