What is disc golf please mate.

Golf, but with you launch a frisbee and you land it in a kind of basketball net type thing.
Score exactly like golf.

If you like it the guy has produced quite a few things like it on his YouTube channel. Usually does a project every 6-12 months.

US scientists achieve ‘holy grail’ net gain nuclear fusion reaction: report​

US scientists have reportedly carried out the first nuclear fusion experiment to achieve a net energy gain, a major breakthrough in a field that has been pursuing such a result since the 1950s, and a potential milestone in the search for a climate-friendly, renewable energy source to replace fossil fuels.

The experiment took place in recent weeks at the government-funded Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory in California, where researchers used a process known as inertial confinement fusion, the Financial Times reports, citing three people with knowledge of the experiment’s preliminary results.


The test involved bombarding a pellet of hydrogen plasma with the world’s largest laser to trigger a nuclear fusion reaction, the same process which takes place in the sun.

Was reading about that this morning, while undoubtably a breakthrough, the energy input v output is slightly misleading. The 2.1MJ laser referenced is the laser output not the power input to generate that 2.1MJ which is apparently 10x greater from the grid (assuming what read wasn’t planted piece by the oil & gas companies)
Still, looking forward to replacing my boiler with a fusion reactor in time for next winter
