So, hydrogen fusion would be "hydrogen burning" and helium fusion would be "helium burning".
I have seen these terms used. In addition I have seen helium referred to as the ash. But those terms are always used in close proximity to a description of fusion. I suspect that the source of confusion is elsewhere.

Re: The Trump Fence
You can't expect anything to be level but the love of Pete, make the gaps the same.
I'm guessing that he started working at each end and where he met, he had a bad gap he could not easily attend to.

His Noodley Appendage
Found in the comments on a reddit thread that asks the question 'If the the Flying Spaghetti Monster didn't create life then why does DNA look like noodles?'
quote:
Our Pasta, who art in colander, draining be your noodles.
Thy noodle come, thy sauce be yum, on top some grated parmesan.
Give us this day our garlic bread, and forgive us our trespasses,
As we forgive those who eat string cheese like a candy bar.
Lead us not into veganism, but deliver us some pizza,
For thine is the meatball, the noodle and the sauce, forever and ever.

I love it when conservatives try to be clever.
GM's first plant in Mexico opened in 1981, under Reagan. Other plants opened in 1994 (Clinton) and two in 2008 (Bush the Second). And of course, Republicans in Michigan are responsible for Flint.
But hey, those are just facts.

Re: I love it when conservatives try to be clever
Trying to blame Obama for Flint is ridiculous, especially since GM close the Buick factory in Flint in 1999.

It is hysterical that when you want to make fun of conservatives, all you have to do is quote them, but when conservatives want to make fun of liberals, they always make shit up.

It's funny how hard it is to tell whether you are hearing a conservative or a Muslim when they talk about the people they dislike.

One important characteristic of a theory is that is has survived repeated attempts to falsify it. Contrary to your understanding, all available evidence confirms it. --Subbie
