re: So if Napoleon wins Waterloo, does it merely prolong the inevitable?

Would the British have signed a peace treaty after Waterloo or would they have doubled down?
No, the UK seemed willing to drive themselves into fiscal insolvency, peak debt to GDP ratio of somewhere between 200%-250%, to ensure a strong Continental power did not exist.

So what's "space" expanding into?
It's the space between objects that are not gravitationally bound that is expanding, the the universe itself is not expanding into anything.

re: Lifeguards battle intense surf to rescue swimmer
Posted by Cfrobel on 7/28/26 at 4:21 am to Jim Rockford
I live nearby and occasionally enjoy going surfing and body boarding, a few months ago on a much calmer day than this I ended up dragging a drowning middle aged and out of shape man about 15 feet back to shore in knee/waist deep water. By the time I reached him, only a few minutes after I first spotted him going in, he was passed out with white fluid coming out of his nose and mouth.
Luckily we had cell service at this beach and were able to contact the fire department who responded quickly and after clearing his lungs and getting him some oxygen he recovered. The break had flattened so almost every other surfer was gone and I only remained in the water because my daughter wanted to play for a few more minutes, if we weren't still there he likely wouldn't have made it. It shocked me that even though he was there with a family of 10+ people they did nothing to help other than to scream at me to do something...
People constantly go into the ocean who don't know how to swim and have absolutely no sense of how cold the water is and how it will effect them. Deaths at the beaches in Northern CA are not at all uncommon since most either do not have any lifeguards, only have them seasonally, or a few lifeguards are responsible for patrolling huge stretches of beach.

We will likely never be able to accelerate a spacecraft to even 10% of the speed of light but you can work around your problem by only accelerating and decelerating at 1g.

Recruiting was falling off hard under Solich, once Osborne's recruits graduated the decline began. Recruiting was the best post Osborne under Callahan, it's unfortunate he couldn't find a defensive coordinator since the trajectory of the program could have been completely different.

Mount Whitney summit 14,505'.
Are you referring to large groups of crows flying to and from their massive communal roosts? If so, in some regions American Crow populations were decimated by the West Nile Virus and are still recovering.

Nice build, should put some gloss coat down to reduce the silvering on the decals.

The F14's from then have something called the Phoenix Missile.You remember it I'm sure.
The AIM-54D has been retired for 21 years, 2 years before the the final F-14 cruise, the AIM-120D outclasses the Phoenix in every way.
The Tomcat itself was already functionally obsolete for CAP by 1990 so the Navy modified the Phoenix pallets to hold bombs so the F-14 could fill the gap left by the A-6 retirement in 1997. While the F-14 has an outsized reputation they ultimately were mud moving hangar queens in OEF and OIF and were overdue for retirement by 06.

Yeah, ISW kits were of an acceptable quality 30 years ago before the explosion in 1/350 plastic kits but the molds are tired and now they are only really good for the basic shape of the hull and maybe the superstructure.
Again, bravo on completing the build.
