From the Huffington Post Why Workplace Jargon Is A Big Problem http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/04/25/work-words_n_5159868.html?utm_hp_ref=business&ir=Business When we replace a specific task with a vague expression, we grant the task more magnitude than it deserves. If we don't describe an activity plainly, it seems less like an easily achievable goal and more like a cloudy state of existence that fills unknowable amounts of time. A fog of fast and empty language has seeped into the workplace. I say it's time we air it out, making room for simple, concrete words, and, therefore, more deliberate actions. By striking the following 26 words from your speech, I think you'll find that you're not quite as overwhelmed as you thought you were. Count the number that LLNLs mangers use. touch base circle back bandwidth - impactful - utilize - table the discussion deep dive - engagement - viral value-add - one-sheet deliverable - work product - incentivise - take it to the ...

Democrats try to ban Donald Trump from using nuclear weapons to stop hurricanes after he asked officials why he shouldn't - and as RNC heads for Florida panhandle at height of hurricane season
?? We are going nuke hurricanes. Well at least that is a test.
Actually my understating that this was a prank created on 4chan that was picked up by Axios. It is odd how many online pranks by right wing trolls got picked by the news. Another one was Pepe the Frog and the Ok symbol being white power gestures. All these where made up on 4chan I even remember when they did this. The problem is that under the current climate you can say anything and it will be picked up. For example we could start a new one that people that wear blue jeans are actually doing so as a white supremacy dog whistle. Some evidence for this is that country music singers often wear jeans and we all know counrty music is racist. The world is starting to go nuts, maybe we are in giant simulation and the simulation broke.
It would be great if it was 1985 again. I’d be 35 years younger and pounds lighter. The Lab was grand. It’s still a pretty sweet deal if you like technical work.

If LLNL has become anything like LANL, the technical work is insignificant compared with the exploding bureaucracy paperwork.
I do notice he walks that line with his SF Liberalism as he tripped out a little with the Trump travel ban awhile back and goes off once in awhile on Immigration.
I hope the Director (as I respect him greatly for being authentic)
doesn't confuse Legal and Illegal Immigration
as most Big Libs do as they try to confuse the percentage of not so smart voters
that seem to exist?
It did seem though that Trump got in his head a little bit of course a far away guess
on my part as like many I'm sure he wants a polite, Globalist POTUS.
Out of curiosity which group do thing is most effected by illegal immigration? It turns out to be the one that all the protests are about. You see the world is a tad bit more complex than "Orange man bad".
