Shabby blog

This blog is looking pretty shabby. The current moderator apparently has no idea how to control the font size of what he posts. Makes for an embarrassingly amateur look. Pretty sad for a blog associated with a premier scientific institution

I agree with you Mr professional. This blog looks shabby. It is maintained on a strictly volunteer basis with no desire to beautify it. At this point, what you can do is one of four things:
1. Become a co-moderator. And help the blog get out of is shabbiness.
2. Start your own professional looking blog.
3. Stop visiting the blog
4. Keep visiting and focus on content.
When es the last time you had 4 options eh?
Supportively,
Scooby, Julian, whatever...

The ability to take valid criticism maturely is greatly valued by most people.

Foolish. Most people hate critics and often strive to do them harm. Only the foolish blather widely and2 unwisely. Adults shut up and work. And mind their own business.

Hope you accept this helpful mild rebuke in the generous, helpful spirit of growth and improvement in which it is offered.

This Blog is a reflection of current attitude at the Labs with re-bids handing over their heads, particularly at LANL. It's just the status quo at the Labs, especially the so-called leadership at the Labs, via Maytag repair men, asleep and with their feet on the desk. Everyone is waiting for the next "train" to come in. No leadership!

FYI. I am not associated with any Lab. The blog reflects lab employees'morale and attitude. It has been mostly low and negative.

So I guess telling people how they should behave is your business?

...or reading comprehension is not your core competence. Re-read it slowly. The meaning chances from "telling" to motivating a choice.

Scooby...you've kept this forum up and available for a good many years now. On your own time, of your own volition. I for one appreciate it as is, and thank you for putting in exactly as much effort as you deem appropriate.

History has shown what happens to people that simply shut, work and mind their business.

So if he thinks absolutely no effort is appropriate (close to that now), you'll thank him for that too? How about "accept a responsibility only if you intend to carry it out"?

Yes.

How about "accept a responsibility only if you intend to carry it out"?
How about "don't look a gift horse in the mouth?"

Something shabby and not well "put together" is rarely an appreciated gift. How about "costs more than it's worth"?

Plutonium Shots on NIF.

By scooby
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.

By scooby
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

By scooby
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!
