China or NIF....

I think China is the safer bet.

Uh, yeah since NIF was never about fusion energy.

China cannot even make a Chinese copy of NIF. They aren’t part of ITER, and can barely spell fusion, let alone master it. I give Canada better odds.

Uh, I guess the “Star on Earth” banner hanging on the National Ignition Facility was a horrific misprint. What are the odds?

Nope, just a flat-out lie from the start. Everyone who mattered knew it was about weapon secondaries. Except maybe the Secretary of Energy.

5:24 the big lie was bought by an amazing number of people. I have friends at NIF who, for whatever weird communal-conscience reason, absolutely insist that NIF is, “only for energy production”. It seems it is almost a prerequisite to drink the Kool Aid to work on it.

There are millions of people that believe that the earth is flat, or (and?) that Trump won the 2020 election by a landslide. Please don't begrudge the handful of true believers in laser driven ICF as a viable commercial source of energy. Like MAGA, it's a religion.

Not to begrudge your point about NIF but I doubt there are millions who believe Trump won in a landslide. I doubt there are millions who ever believed in Q. Now there are millions who think there could have been some weird things about the election and if there was not the mass mail in voting due to Covid Trump would have won. That may be close to half the people on both sides. The problem with that is that it was not technically cheating and the mail in voting could have added a boost to both Republicans and Democrats but it would tend to go more towards Dems due to the high urban concentration. Also if it was the other way around and it benefited the Republicans I am sure they would be just fine with it. It is just odd the MSM goes on about how you must be crazy to even think there was some odd things about the 2020 election, when in fact there was many odd things due to the Covid, but I do not believe in any grand conspiracies.

By the way this is not the same as absentee ballots people seem very confused about this. I do not doubt that there are some MAGA people how are almost religious in there thinking but there are millions that are not. You do not come across like a serious person when you compare flat earthers to Trump voters. You just sound like someone repeating talking points you found on the internet. By they way so much of this is hype. For example the Q-anon stuff, I hear it all the time as an insult and on MSM yet I even though I must know hundreds of people who are republicans I do not not know a single one that believes in Q, not one. In fact few even know what it is, yet my Democrat friends all insist that all republicans believe in Q. Something does not add up.

Scooby will allow your post on but will no doubt make sure this one does not come out.

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!
