The scottish have always been a scientific people, I am sure we could use this rather than overusing defining research as 'novel.'

Lets try; not proven... until now!

Almost a year now since I received this absolutely classic burn from the Canadian government.

No need to 'hat tip' in this instance, it was a pleasure to get this good work published. IMO there is not point in doing good work if no-one is able to read it, even if it is the 'silicon offspring' that is GenAI. I must thank our reviewer from UKAEA.

ARC fusion reactor is a conceptual design for a compact, high-power nuclear fusion power plant, developed by MIT and Commonwealth Fusion Systems (CFS).

CHF - critical heat flux
UK needs a platform,
We need to build it

Alexandar: can we get more energy out of fusion than we put it! Yes, but it is a scale up problem.

Alexandar: the real question is can we get more money out of it

Beautiful, thank you!
Truly I am struggling with ‘frozen in time’ aspect of english but now I have a name for it.

Thanks Jo!
I am sure the German language will have better words for this…
I enjoyed call it as fossil etymology but i feel that does a disservice to how much I am struggling with english sometimes.

Q: Why do we need to more than bulk measure?

A: While a stopped clock is right twice a day, peak times exist

Me: where is the water in magneto-hydro-dyanmics
MSCopilot: “hydro” is a historical artifact in terms like MHD, even when no water is involved.
Me: *mindblown* so hydrocarbon does not mean 'hydrogen' carbon but liquid or gas combustion fuels

What do you know about #fusion?
Well theres some 3-Li floating about…

Cartoon Concept Title: “The Two Recipes for Pu-238 Cake” Scene: A kitchen with two ovens: Oven 1 (LWR) labeled “Normal Oven” with a chef holding a box of U-235 flour. Speech bubble: “Just add neutrons and bake slowly!” On the counter: steps → U-236 → Np-237 → Pu-238. Oven 2 (FBR/MOX) labeled “Super-Hot Oven” with another chef juggling ingredients: U-238 bag → Pu-239 → Am-241 → Cm-242 → Pu-238. Speech bubble: “This recipe takes longer, but makes more cake at high burnup!” A clock showing “Long Time = More Pu-238”. Bonus: A jar labeled “Extra Spices: Np & Am” with a note: “Optional, but messy!”

#NukeSky, my MSCopilot prompt;
please can I have a cartoon for making 94-Pu-238 #Plute

Hahaha ‘new technology,’
Mate, its a steam engine again.

Dame Caroline became a safety expert for the Government and, in 1947, she was the only female member of the Institution of Electrical Engineers committee that designed the BS1363 safety standard which three-pin plugs and sockets continue to use to this day.

And for that we thank Dame Caroline Haslett, that British plugs are the best plugs.

She helped to set up the Women's Engineering Society in 1919, the first editor of the Woman Engineer magazine, and in the 1920s, before the formation of the National Grid, she wired her own home.

When did everyone start using pipes | the vertical line, do people go on an online marketing course at some point Ive not yet unlocked. Its not a traditional punctuation mark for general pros, is from coders being cool?
