Sandia downhill

Speaking of LANL directors having gone downhill, Sandia's went downhill in a big way with the new director Jill Hruby. They covered up the fact that she doesn't even have a PhD by using her gender and shoving that in everybody's face. If you said you thought she is a bozo unfit to run a Natl lab, they'll just call you a sexist.

I had to GTFO after her appointment, having realized the UNM and non-PhD crowd had completely taken over the place finally.

By any chance are you a mediocre Ph.d that failed to live up to expectations?

Right. Anyone who complains about a woman's lack of qualifications, no matter how meager they are, is automatically a "sexist." Brainless liberal much?

Maybe nothing, but just questioning it shouldn't get you labeled a "sexist."

So you don't have a Ph.d Than why are you on Hruby's case if she does not have a Ph.d?

Degrees are over rated and if you had ever spent much time with Hruby you would know that she is not a typical master's.

Actually I do have a Ph.D. (not a Ph.d). I just thought your annoying and repetitive posts were getting a little tired (at least I was tired of them).

October 2, 2016 at 7:26 PM here. October 2, 2016 at 11:12 PM doesn't know who he is responding to. I am the one who complained about someone questioning her qualifications being called a "sexist." I said nothing about whether she has a Ph.D.. Nor do I care.

But apparently October 2, 2016 at 11:12 PM only cares about getting his repetitive blather into another post.

You are right, she is not typical. She is below average in technical knowledge and way below average in management skills.

So you are saying that your are sexist? I guess you don't care either way. Wow, just wow.

Yeah, whatever. Idiot. I said I don't care whether or not she has a PhD. I also don't much care about the entire subject of Sandia. I just care about the politically correct garbage of calling someone who questions the professional qualifications of a female, for whatever position, being labeled a "sexist." Get it now, jerk?

Politically correct garbage? Who are you to decide what is or is not politically correct garbage? Is it politically correct garbage to call someone a jerk just because they disagrees with you? If not than we can assume that you are a jerk but you are cool with it, yep I think it get it now.

You don't have to be a jerk to disagree with me. But you chose to be one.

No, you chose to define who is a jerk which appears to be anyone who just happens to disagree with you. This is a rather narrow definition and says alot more about you than it does about anyone who happens to disagree with you. I for one happen to disagree with your worldview that anyone who disagrees with you is a jerk. In fact anyone with your world view is probably a better definition of jerk than your narrow minded definition. What an empty joyless life you must live.

People who respond to posts they haven't actually read or understood can reasonably be referred to as "jerks." As I said "you don't have to be a jerk to disagree with me." So you see I actually don't have the "worldview" you ascribe to me. In fact, I have always considered people who say they have a "worldview" to be pompous jerks.

WN (verb)

1. An act of dominating an opponent.
The term implies domination or humiliation of a rival,

Pronunciations

Because pwn is primarily used in written form, it has no single generally accepted pronunciation: renditions include /ˈoʊn/ OHN, /ˈpwoʊn/ PWOHN, /ˈpoʊn/ POHN, /pəʔˈoʊn/ pə'-OHN, /ˈpɔːn/ PAWN, /piːˈoʊn/ pee-OHN, and /ˈpwiːn/ PWEEN. Originally, pwn and its variants were pronounced /ˈoʊn/ in the same way as the verb own, the tail of the p being "silent". A notable usage of this pronunciation can be seen in the Internet distributed series Pure Pwnage (pronounced "pure ownage" /ˈpjʊər ˈoʊnᵻdʒ/).[7] [8][9]

That is a very well thought out and insightful response that conveys perfectly your rock solid position and reflects on you reasoning and arguing skills.

Oh look! Grown adults who worked at the same job 40 hours a week for 30 years are complaining about how the modern work economy fails to cater to them.

Grow up.

Huh? Self-analysis? Your comment bears no relevance to this thread. But that probably doesn't matter to you at all.

Plutonium Shots on NIF.

Tri-Valley Cares needs to be on this if they aren't already. We need to make sure that NNSA and LLNL does not make good on promises to pursue such stupid ideas as doing Plutonium experiments on NIF. The stupidity arises from the fact that a huge population is placed at risk in the short and long term. Why do this kind of experiment in a heavily populated area? Only a moron would push that kind of imbecile area. Do it somewhere else in the god forsaken hills of Los Alamos. Why should the communities in the Bay Area be subjected to such increased risk just because the lab's NIF has failed twice and is trying the Hail Mary pass of doing an SNM experiment just to justify their existence? Those Laser EoS techniques and the people analyzing the raw data are all just BAD anyways. You know what comes next after they do the experiment. They'll figure out that they need larger samples. More risk for the local population. Stop this imbecilic pursuit. They wan...

Trump is to gut the labs.

The budget has a 20% decrease to DOE office of science, 20% cut to NIH. NASA also gets a cut. This will  have a huge negative effect on the lab. Crazy, juts crazy. He also wants to cut NEA and PBS, this may not seem like  a big deal but they get very little money and do great things.

LLNL un-diversity

Actual post from Dec. 15 from one of the streams. This is a real topic. As far as promoting women and minorities even if their qualifications are not as good as the white male scientists, I am all for it. We need diversity at the lab and if that is what it takes, so be it.  Quit your whining. Look around the lab, what do you see? White male geezers. How many African Americans do you see at the lab? Virtually none. LLNL is one of the MOST undiverse places you will see. Face it folks, LLNL is an institution of white male privilege and they don't want to give up their privileged positions. California, a state of majority Hispanics has the "crown jewel" LLNL nestled in the middle of it with very FEW Hispanics at all!
