This blog isn't all that wonderful anyway

Scooby will delete this but I'll post it anyway. Seems any time he doesn't like the direction posts are taking, even if they are on point and the posters are engaged actively, he disables comments. I truly believe he is trying to shut down this blog without having to take the blame for doing so. Just do it, Scooby. This blog isn't all that wonderful anyway. No one is going to miss it all that much, except for the anti-science guy, whom you seem to love. Enough already. Kill it before it rots from the inside.

As a recent retiree I’m pleased that this blog exists so that I will be able to occasionally check in and get a little bit of latest gossip and insider info about what’s going on at the Lab. Hope that the blog continues on.

Asa LANL employee, I enjoy reading about the misadventures of the DOE/NNSA Enterprise. It is as screwed up as this country is. Our engineering sucks. Our educational system is in the toilet. Areas of California look more like a third world country than the utopia that is could be.

I hope that the blog continues on because I find it an interesting read. Hoe else can I read about the lates5 Triad screw ups. Keep it up guys.

Excuse me but our "engineering" rocks, Facebook, Google, Yahoo, Amazon.

"Our educational system is in the toilet" Yes if you are in a Red state.

"Areas of California look more like a third world country than the utopia that is could be.""

That is because their are groups of republican capitalist who refuse to share the wealth that was never created by them in the first place.

Like it or not the country is headed in the right direction, California in the 50s and 60s was a repressive, culturally backward hellhole that fought against diversity. Now it is actually much more wealthy, more diverse, and vibrant. The problem is its success is so great it actually creates problems, so many people want to live in California and the jobs pay so well that it creates a glut of people and crazy house prices. There is plenty of money to go around and the fact is we need to create much higher taxes for more affordable housing.
I know you may not like it but if you want to live in California and enjoy its benefits than
you have to pay up. The days of greedy get all the money for myself are going away as society starts to enter are more enlightened period where it is about bettering ourselves and the world not just making money. California is just the start but it will happen, after that it is on to the stars as the human race not people from different countries.

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.

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...

Rumor corner

By scooby
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.
