  1. AHC: is it feasible if the world started diversfying away from fossil fuels much earlier

    Fair enough. I was quoting an article from a well-established news source, but I'm sure they aren't perfect. If you have sources for your rebuttal, I'd be interested. Nonetheless, the rest of the point stands - alcohol was used in internal combustion engines from early on.

    WI: Atari 7800 released in 1984

    The problem with releasing the 7800 early is not only the limited game line-up (the initial launch titles are 1980-83 arcade and former Atari console games) but the fact they'd be competing against themselves (2600 and 5200) as well as not solving the most glaring issue: the damn shovelware that...

    Indian Territory Independence after CSA Victory

    Forgot to mention this, but OTL, there was once a movement to make what’s left of the Indian Territory a state in the USA, called Sequoyah, in honor of the man who invented the Cherokee language. So maybe ITTL, the United Tribes of North America would change the name “Indian Nation” to “Sequoyah”
  6. Claudius dies with Caligula: What happens next?

    I think that a civil war is pretty likely to erupt with different governors basically taking their chance. It's already been shown that the senate doesn't matter all that much by Augustus, and so, it comes down to who is willing to risk it all and who has forces that actually are loyal. Without...

    Threadmarks: Part 30: Orbital maintenance and shifting priorities for an aging station

    Boldly Going Part 30 The conversion of Space Station Enterprise’s old liquid hydrogen tank into a hanger bay began in 2015, putting to use the largest remaining unconverted hardware from the original launch. When finished, only the three main engines which had lifted the station on their first...

    AHC: Save a notorious flop

    Here’s mine, the notorious Kiss Meets the Phantom of the Park. There’s hundreds of things I could’ve done for this film to make it better, and it was clear they were marketing it toward a younger audience. So here’s something that they could’ve done that would have made it 10 times easier to...

    DBWI Alexander III of Macedon victorious at Gaugamela

    Why are you so optimistic about where he would conquer if he only won at Issus due to catching Darius off-guard, where he suffered significant trouble at Halicarnassus, Tyre, and other places, and mostly went as far as he did because most cities surrendered without a fight? It might be easy to...
  12. A Hippie in the House of Mouse (Jim Henson at Disney, 1980)

    Okay, I don't know much (read: anything about) 80's TV scene, so I can't comment too much. You can bet CBC or any of the other Canadian TV stations would pick this up. Hmm, perhaps we could see a new western in the 90's or two here? Maybe replace another show's timeslot no less? TBH, I'd only...
  13. Socialist/communist USA, is it possible, and likeliest time period to arise?

    In all honesty, there's a very big difference between farmers in the Dakotas not liking railroads having a monopoly over their shipping prices, and them supporting a Communist revolution. You could maybe get a larger welfare state, but outright Communism isn't going to happen without a very...

    Socialist/communist USA, is it possible, and likeliest time period to arise?

    I definitely agree with you here, but its dependent on how this socialist/communist USA comes into existence and what factors are affecting the group in power. For instance, if we want to look at a CPUSA comparison, we can look to Bolshevik policy following their coming to power. Lenin's...
  17. It's A Long Way To Nagasaki: The Anglo-Japanese War

    Polish independence could be merely a short-term ploy. Once German troops are in Poland, there's no effective way to make them leave--as you mentioned. The most likely outcome for Poland is that the Germans eventually pull an Arrow Cross on them and sponsor a coup by some lackeys of theirs...
  18. AHC: Rename a country, that unified from a long-described region

    France without the Franks couldve become in French “Jaille” the direct French descendant of Gallia (not Gaul!). Catalonia and Septimania couldve been called Gothia, Catalonia arguably is a name descendant of “Goth-Alania”. Walhaz descended exonyms can really apply to anywhere so Wallachia...
