Scientists in Germany said Thursday they had reached a milestone in a quest to derive energy from nuclear fusion, billed as a potentially limitless, safe and cheap source. [...]
After spending a billion euros and nine years' construction work, physicists working on a German project called the "stellarator" said they had briefly generated a superheated helium plasma inside a vessel -- a key point in the experimental process. [...]
The German experiment, using a machine called Wendelstein 7-X, was aimed at seeing whether it was possible to heat helium atoms with a microwave laser and to briefly contain the plasma within the vessel.
The first plasma in the 16-meter-wide (52-foot-wide) machine, from one milligram of helium gas heated by a 1.8-megawatt laser pulse, lasted one-tenth of a second and reached a temperature of around one million (degrees) Celsius, the Institute said in a press release. ...

I*m still waiting for those x-ray glasses.
Indeed.
I’m so glad that the Islamist party that controls Germany in 30 years will have complete control of all this shit.
No, Natures Plus doesn’t make tonic water to my knowledge. All carbonated beverages nutralize stomach acid which in turn blocks absorption of nutrients because foods don’t get broken down well enough. The best thing about a good protein powder is that it should contain fiber like spirulina. And as far as alcohol, well I know it’s bad for me but a knip of good bourbon on the rocks has always helped me slow down which might be more beneficial than avoiding it altogether.

Thanks for the good info. Actually, the NIH has said that alcohol is good when taken in moderation, for males and concerning heart-related maladies. At least that’s my story and I’m sticking to it!
