Nuclear Fusion
Good question. To give a perspective, here's how it looks like now: So the process still consumes 100 times more energy than it yields. However, it is still a breakthrough. For the first time in scientific history fusion provided more energy than of the lasers fired. It proves that...- vates

Nuclear Fusion
In fact, exeeding parity was not achieved this time. Yes, they state that they used 2.04 megajoules and received 3.13 megajoules (152%+!). But in fact it's only the energy of laser rays which's been calculated. Lasers have their own energy conversion efficiency (ECE), then transformers...- vates

11 year old Penzance.
My tin of Penzance is so old that all the markings on the back are almost gone. I imagine it's from the early 2k's. The tobacco looks rather similar: plenty of plume. Tastes good.- vates

Old Wisdom / New Wisdom from G.L. Pease's December 2022 Column
An interesting read, thank you. I noticed that sometimes if there's an accidental slight delay between the charring light and the proper one, tobacco tasted a bit better. Now I will try to make it more deliberately. Now, I always try to 'decant' a freshly popped tin (esp. with older tobaccos)...- vates

Esotericapers
This. Just go to StreetView and look at their premises on Jersey. It's literally a shack/garage. They're really a very small business with outdated technologies. So they can produce only so much tobacco. Scarcity fed the craze. Cunning retailers used it. Who would've not?- vates

Coffee Check
All kinds of coffee and techniques. I can appreciate almost everything as long as there's still more coffee than any other substance there. Lately I prefer beans from Guatemala, Costa Rica, or Columbia. In coffee shops I usually order doppio or flat white. Sometimes Vietnamese (if it's the right...- vates

Show Us Your Moretti Pipes
Just won this one. I've been watching their auctions for a while now. There was always something off in their shape or color choices. I understand they label most of their shapes as "freehand" for this particular reason. This one ticks all the boxes though. And it's going to be my first morta to...- vates
