As I understand it, that's correct. As deuterium is vanishingly rare, less than 1% of hydrogen on Earth, tritium is less than 1% of deuterium. I've always heard deuterium as the fuel for fusion. Agreed on the rest. This was a significant breakthrough, but we're a long way yet from Fusion...

Days or decades. Someplace between next month and next century. Breakthroughs'll shorten the process, if they happen. Otherwise, closer to a century.

And if reducing risk of fatigue and injury to players is the overwhelming, one-and-only goal, you could decide the whole match with a coin flip. Save everybody time and hard work.

Hmm. . . good ideas. Our system for by-elections (we don't have them) and barring people from running for elected office are different (or non-existent). I hadn't thought of these ideas.

Obviously, my answer is subject to criticism. Do you have a preferred way to resolve must-have-a-winner matches, or do you just want to carp about my suggestions?

Hydrate. Substitute. Take mini-breaks as they do in normal time. Ultramarathon runners run without stopping for 100 miles. If the match ends with the players jogging, or walking, so be it. Better than the travesty of the ultimate team sport being decided by individuals kicking and saving...

Seriously, what penalty would you prescribe for such breaches? Personally, I think self-dealing, friend-dealing, or other misuse of public funds should lead to termination for a senior (or non-senior) bureaucrat (and possibly criminal charges). But for an elected member, I think they should be...

I understand the tiring factor, and would be OK with extra substitutions for the overtimes. But I'd point out that this system works in baseball, in which a tie results in extra innings. Some games have gone to over 30 innings (full time is 9 innings), and at the end the entire pitching staff...

When I'm President, I expect to have a very warm, cooperative relationship with PM Jagmeet.

Helium and neutrons. How many neutrons depends on what the fuel is, deuterium or tritium, and electromagnetic energy (heat and light). In the traditional model, energy is extracted from the electromagnetic energy and from a screening substance (usually water), that is used to absorb the free...

I see three ways other than PKs to decide a match. . . 1) Successive 10-minute overtimes. Play one, if it's still a draw at the end, play another, etc. This is what they do in NBA basketball (the overtimes are five minutes each). 2) Sudden death. You play until there's a goal, under the...

That was a HORRIBLE pun! Why don't you just fleck off?

Batbeing?

Or a football match.

Hey! Ig-pay Atin-lay is-ay an-ay official-ay anguage-lay!

Po-TAY-to, po-TAH-to.

. . . or someplace.

The current Ministry of Truth, I'd imagine.

Seriously, do you actually think that in the phrase "consider the effect that your words have," the third word is a verb?

Really, D-Cup, when "correcting" another poster, do try to know what you're talking about.
