The feeling manly thread is now void thanks to this hero!

Don't think you can top this guy tbh. I think he should be sent a lifetimes supply of limes for his troubles!

That's not manly, that's evil scientist-ly...

Would be manly if he was spliting atoms with his bare hands. Or Teeth.

I'd agree.... except this guy was doing it in his kitchen! = uber manly and dangerous as fook!

Not manly at all, everyone knows that the kitchen is a place for womans

Is this not invading enemy territory to claim for the use of extend manly workings?

Just like the boat load of people on here who use it for servicing their bike?

Meh, I'm going to build a fusion reactor at some point. Fission is much harder to do on a small scale, but it is actually energetically favourable, so would be a better project. Wonder if fission reactors are legal to own here...

Ouchio! top trumps for getting up, probably running on pure adreniline!

I think he was just enjoying the chance to finally tasar a criminal.

If you can build a working fusion reactor, then you're a better physicist than anyone else at the moment.. The amount of energy a fusion reactor would produce is immense and much much cleaner than fission. We just can't maintain the reactions though.

I can maintain an er.......oh, sorry, misread that!

Nope, loads of fusion reactors have been built. The difficult bit is to get it self sustaining and energetically favourable, ie producing more energy than you put in to get it going. That, I can't do. Getting a fusion reaction going and producing some energy, however, is relatively trivial.

I do very much like the idea of running my computer off its own fission reactor though...

my wife should be arrested for what she produces in the kitchen..

Trivial once you get to the correct temperature/pressure, yes

Fusion reactors? I sh!t 'em!
