Did Lockheed Martin Solve Nuclear Fusion?

Yes, this is all very valid.

My understanding, though, is that LM is claiming to have made some theoretical breakthroughs, and the Guardian rubbished even that. This is why I don't know what to believe.

 

A long, long, long time ago (1988, I think), I worked at the McDonald's on South Shore in Blackpool (the one on the prom, on the Illuminations route, if you know it).

I once picked up an apple pie to take it to a customer, and it burst as I was on the way back to the counter. The "apple" "sauce" fell on my shoe.

I was wearing black Clarks leather shoes (for the Americans, these are your moderately-expensive, no-nonsense basic leather shoes for school and stuff - they're indestructible). The "apple" "sauce" burnt through the black leather, and left a hole, surrounded by white, dessicated leather.

I have never eaten once since.

But I still think they could solve the world's energy crisis.

 

Those look like the old, fried ones.

Here in America the health Nazis and other buzz-kills have eliminated those from Mickey-D's menu.
We get luke-warm baked ones.
