The comments on that post are truly awful, fun video though!
Hard disk drives are literally revolutionary by design because they spin around. Embrace the fastest spinning and most revolutionary storage media 
I have 2 years left, I don't think I will be fast enough. 
I know its cliche, but I hope China does a lot of the work. They have a nuts construction industry, and it would make them look really good. I don't think it would mess up their neutrality stuff, but who knows.
Bureaucrat remains in our hearts
I keep forgetting that HB is not GZD2.0, and that we are not explicitly ML.
Oreshnik is much better. The name even ties in to how the weapon looks which is straight out of some cheesy novel. Dark Eagle is just edge, no symbolism, doesnt tie into the design of the weapon, it doesnt even sound that good. I guess the failsons got into the weapon naming business as well.
Did they provide any payload info for the LRHW stuff, or is it still proof of concept? If they are still working on development versions thats a bit of a yikes.
I was looking at his profile comments and I found this. This is a hexbear user. the name, Vance as treatler, come on

I haven't read the books other people are suggesting, but the arguments I have heard mostly center around materials science. Rome did not have access to high enough quality metals and was unable to machine parts to the standards required for steam engines. Britain sits on top of large coal and iron deposits, exactly what an early society needs to produce high quality steel. Producing steel in the Americas before European contact was not possible due to the large distances between coal and iron deposits combined with the lack of waterways or transport animals to move the required quantities of ore.
This is just how I remember it, there are probably a few issues with it, but the main point is that Britain and Europe to a lesser extent got very lucky with geography.
