This is the best thread title ever.
Doesn’t everyone have a Small Nuclear Reactor in their garage , Oh wait that was those prediction people
Probably some kid making a harmless device out of smoke detectors and what not.
I thought it was still 10 years away...
Just a do it yourself nuclear home heating project. No biggie...
“...using radium in a George Foreman Grille to heat your home could go wrong?”
With all the taxes, service charges and add-ons, Keeping your tesla fully charged can add up.
Cold fusion has not lived up to the hype...
The guy in Italy, that was a bust...
Just find the right parts on ebay and go for it.
I don’t know which is worse - when my quantum physics generator goes haywire and blasts me with radiation or when my transporter I salvaged with cheap aftermarket parts beams me into a bulkhead in my yellow submarine.
Is this covered by HOA rules?
Skeptical cat is skeptical.
I mean, who doesn’t have a small nuclear reactor in their garage?
Relax. It’s just a small nuclear reactor.
Do not taunt Happy Fun Ball!
Now there’s a headline you don’t see everyday.
Wondered what became of that kid. Figured he’d be either in jail, a PhD physicist, or dead.
