Sounds like somebody is jockeying for a budget increase.

GAO?

Did they have a conference in Las Vegas in a luxury hotel, with free booze, parties, and home made videos to do this report? I though GAO is one of th mos corrupt organizations in the government.

It is most unfortunate that it took a former Nevada National Security employee who alleged she was sexually assaulted, harassed by colleagues, and then retaliated against when she reported the incidents. So much for adequate training, expected conduct, accountability, and non-retaliation policies.

As long as the sexual harassment doesn't impact your wife, your daughter, or your niece, it's a big joke? Wow! Unfortunately, you are among others (mostly male) with similar perspectives and justifications when the sexual harassment problem is at a safe distance from family. Wake up.

"Unfortunately, you are among others (mostly male)"

You are assuming genders. The idea that sexual harassment is a male problem is outdated and harmful. Anyone can face harassment from any gender. People also have very different lived experiences so the idea that there are groups of genders with similar perspectives is very insular and biased. It is you that needs wake up, you have a perspective that probably benefits you and you feel threatened that that your privilege is going be lost.

OK, so what is a "non-lived experience"? Just asking.

You are being a troll. In case you are just naive the idea is that you cannot understand what it is like to face oppression, racism, and harm
unless you have actually lived these experiences. What you can do is listen and believe, respect that that other people have different experiences in the world, and you will never be able to understand than because it takes a lifetime to know this.

You failed to answer the question. What is the difference between a "lived" experience and any other experience? Just an arbitrary word to try to apply more meaning to the statement? How do you have an experience you haven't "lived"? Just more woke bloviating.

So how does "blocking" work, Scooby? Someone gets upset and asks you to do what? Block by IP address, or what?

I cannot block anyone. I have nothing to go on, except for geographical and computer platform.

Scooby you might consider adding to the “not conforming to blog rules” comments like,

“OK, so what is a "non-lived experience"? Just asking”,
“did you mean too not to”, “did your mean their not there”, etc.

Comments like those above are simply sarcasm designed to deflect the discussion away from a serious subject like sexual harassment.
You could call this new blog rule “no rodeo clowning”

Your wokeness is impressive. What part of yourself did you give up to acquire it? And what acceptance did you acquire, and from whom, by doing so?

To be honest — and I have no dog in this fight except an expectation of logic — the question about “non-lived experience” is quite cogent. Assuming the words are facially valid, the ‘non-lived experience’ would be a hallucination or psychotic breakdown.

Seems like probing this is a prudent thing to do in an open, basically unmoderated discussion of public policy...

Yes, and calling out nonsensical terminology meant to virtue signal is important.

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.

LLNL un-diversity

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!
