Gay marriage isn't as simple as it seems (for some people at least).

There's the people that think that once you allow homosexual marriage, you'll then allow bisexual, and that could lead to allow polygamy.
There's also the whole thing about having children, adoption. Some say that a children has the right to have a father and a mother, and that for that reason, gays shouldn't be allowed to adopt.
Then, there's also some homosexuals that don't want of the marriage, and want a special thing of their own.

(This is not my personal opinion)

No, I'm dismissing it because it's not self-sustaining in any way consistent with power-generation.  Which I believe was what was being discussed.  (Not even easily harvested for power on an more occasional basis.)

Then I misunderstood you. You talked about fusion power, and I gave you a fusion power example. I didn't understood it was specifically for electricity generation (because, electricity is still under testing). Though I said it was testing prototypes only for this purpose.

JT-60 : Effectively, it's theoric Q (blame my non-english Wikipedia page). On the other hand, I think they could have done. The requirements for tritium are mainly those of stockage (which is quite difficult). And they probably didn't want to use tritium which is quite expensive as for now. The 5 I think is for the electricity production to be interesting, lower it would be too expensive, but maybe better ways will be discovered until.

Neutrons : The radioactive waste created is not necessarily very dangerous. For example, I doubt that a piece of radioactive concrete is as dangerous as depleted uranium/plutonium, etc. This would also be an effect of long time reaction. In any case, the radioactive effects are considerably lower than a fission one, which drastically reduce hazards.
For example, contrary to popular belief, the big concrete pillars in fission plants are not to protect from radiation, but for cooling down. Some centrals don't even have them.

For lead, I think that the 2 neutrons created are of lesser energy. Though my point was more than, if they are trying to get the more neutrons, it doesn't seem it's a very concerning matter for them, and I think they know way more than me in this field. There's also some testing they will do with ITER, like lithium battery to capture neutrons, etc.

I just learned by my mother that my grandfather doesn't want to get out anymore (and in fact, didn't go out since Christmas). He doesn't even go to groceries with my grandmother like he used to.
And, they're going to do his birthday in their apartment, while my parents' (or my uncle, that live nearby too) house is less than a km away, and they could drive him. Well, at least, I can hope it's just because of winter, and he'll feel better after.

And wheeeere do you go if you get frostbite?

In a coffin. And they won't even bury you, because the soil is frozen. This is how cruel Canadians are. I'm sure they'll laugh over my dead little frozen body, with their nationality bonus : Frost resistance +2

I am happy because I just ate sushi and bagels for breakfast at 4:00 PM

Crap, I forgot to lunch.

Lightning, look 2 posts above yours.

wat.

I don't think people need HIV to test if you get sick of the vaccine.

That was Phase I. Now they need to see if it actually works.

Extract the blood, mesure the rate of lymphocyte corresponding to the vaccine, and test that with the virus. There's no need to infect people with the HIV. The only risks are disease from the original vaccine, but since that's been tested out, it's harmless.
But considering the very nature of HIV, I doubt that a vaccine could do more than just limiting or slowing the infection. I fear the vaccine itself could be crushed by the virus.
My brother voluntereed himself for some vaccines (although not HIV), and he never got sick. But that's probably because he never ever got sick.
