Google Harborview and Cs-137.

To be fair to Triad, I'm not sure its an apples to apples comparison. One has to consider new variables to determine what is going on. LANS was removed for cause based on sustained poor performance. Are the performance metrics for Triad post LANS failures/lessons learned, identical to the performance metrics for LANS?

Additionally, Field Office Manager Kim Lebak "retired" and other LANS PER report card graders left about when Charley did, so now you have a new set of NNSA Los Alamos Field Office managers evaluating Triad performance. Perhaps the NNSA headquarters determined the NNSA Los Alamos Field Office leadership was a little too chummy and compliant with LANS leadership and wanted material changes in those interactions. None of which means Triad is performing worse than LANS.

One sample does not a trend make. Also, a battleship does not turn on a dime. Important life lessons, my son.

We will see what the trend looks like after this year. The CS-137 is a good point. I really havent seen much change so far.

What are the odds that this person will ever have to steer a battleship? I don't think a single navy has them anymore.

The aphorism still applies. Best to heed it.

Ok boomer.


How did you know I was in software engineering? Kind of creepy that you could figure that out.

Duh, the "OK Boomer" is a dead giveaway. Programmers used to be proud to be known as programmers, as in "Real programmers write FORTRAN," and can do so in any language de jour.

Maybe Boomers are more intelligent thoughtful and experienced than you think.

The Cs-137 incident happened in May 2019. Although it was a catastrophic event that will ultimately cost NNSA/DOE billions of $$, somehow TRIAD was able to keep it secret. It also was caused by the LANL-led Off-site Source Recovery Program which is organizationally lies under NJ Nicholas and John Sarrao. None of the responsible line managers were held accountable and all of them got big bonuses. LANS got a "D", but TRIAD got an "F" in their first year. Just shows you how bad the NM crackpot, worthless newpapers are to not have reported this event. This event contaminated numerous people as well as the surrounding communities. Why is none of this getting reported?

As an observer, what is up with this "ok boomer" thing. I mean, what are you mad at? Really don't get it.

Mad at "boomers" taking up valuable spaces in good high paying jobs when they should just give it up and retire already, and let the inexperienced, poorly educated younger people have their chance. How dare you be old and still be so good at what you do?? Also, your worldview just sucks, thinking the US is anything special.

You do understand that this post is why so many young people say "ok boomer". Sigh, the lack of self awareness is rather stunning.

Let us spell it out for you and that the world that...oh maybe some older generations have left for the millennials is not exactly the best and why they might be a tad bitter? Lets see the average college grad is now 32k in debt, Boomers did have to go into debt to go to college. Boomers also got to go podunk State U but today will look down on younger people who did not go to a private college. Boomers got pensions and got rich off the stock market that went up 30 times since 1980 when it was only 800 and now it is 30k there are no pensions for millennials and there is no way the stock market is going to go from 30k to 900k in their lifetimes heck it is probably going to crash because there is no way the earth can take it. The boomers got in during the 60 years the earth could be exploited with a growing population. Now with extreme global warming the economies are going to retract one way or the other and gen Z and millennials are going to have to live with it and never know the wealth and lack of responsibility that the boomers had. The only thing that some of them have going from them will be the transfer of wealth from boomers through inheritance. To top this all off boomers are still stuck in many of the old ways in terms of diversity, unearned privilege, and women rights. Ok boomer now do you see why some of them are a bit pissed that they got the short end of the stick?

2/20/2020 9:18 PM tells us of the unbelievable misery and despair among the genxers and millennials, who are having such a hard time trying to find a parking spot for their Beemers and Mercedes due to overpopulation brought on by the thoughtless Boomers. Such a sad story !
