Mason talking pits

 Mason is giving his all hands talk.


The message is LANL is going to be doing pits and it is going fundamentally change the lab as we know it. Mason speech is pretty bad, did something happen to him, he sounds horrible. He seems to have a tremor in voice like someone has gun to his head. He still does not say stuff as dumb as McMillian. I understand the argument for pits it just seems like the best option would be to have separate PIT facility distinct form the lab.

The Mason speech was short but to the point.

4th rule: Only two guys per Pit.
5th rule: One Pit at a time.
6th rule: No shirts, no shoes than no Pit
7th rule: Pits will be made only as long as they have to.
8th rule: If this is your first time at Pit Club, you have to make a Pit

From the pinnacle to the pit

You have the power
You wear the crown
From the pinnacle to the pit
It is a long way down
You wield the scepter
You wear the gown
From the pinnacle to the pit
It is a long way down
In your empire
They stare in frown
From the pinnacle to the pit
It is a long way down
You are cast out from the heavens to the ground
Blackened feathers falling down
From the pinnacle to the pit
It is a long way down

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.

Rumor corner

LLNS may have excluded the wrong people in last VSSOP? The exclusions were based on outdated job categories and related skills. ULM are now thinking that in the future, job categories and functional areas will have to be re-defined. The next VSSOP/ISP will be based on the new categories and functional areas. The questions I have are: 1) Why didnt they think of that before the transition. It seems like their style is “change things as you go”. Planning is out the window! 2) Who will give input on the new changes? The next RIF apparently is going to be more lucrative than the VSSOP. Depending on the length of employment, a RIFed person, not only gets their 1 week pay per year of service but also from 30 to 120 days notice, essentially 30 to 120 days pay. Please feel free to comment on the rumors or add new ones you actually heard.
