The Doomsday Clock

 https://www.cnn.com/2023/01/24/world/doomsday-clock-2023-climate-scn/index.html


On Tuesday, the clock was set at 90 seconds until midnight — the closest to the hour it has ever been, according to the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists, which created the clock in 1947. Midnight represents the moment at which we will have made Earth uninhabitable for humanity. From 2020 to 2022, the clock was set at 100 seconds to midnight.

Well it is good know that the NNSA labs are helping with the clocks.

By the besides Hecker another person Dan Holz was a LANL staff member. He left after the Nanos insanity.

You can say what you want about Hecker, but be has as more scientific and mission accomplishments than the last five LANL directors combined.

In any case I am an educated person who reads the NYT and listens to NPR. As such I have no choice but to assume the Doomsday clock people are all Putin propagandists. We must support Ukraine agains Putin no matter what because Putin and Russia are evil people. If it means WW3 so be it. If you disagree with me you are a Russian troll working for Putin. Lets get this war on, what to we have to lose.

The Russian people are not evil. They are kept in the dark and brainwashed by state-controlled media. There have been many stories out of Russia lately about those with close relatives in Ukraine who are being killed and maimed by Putin, supported by his fanatical military and the oligarchs desperate to keep their fortunes. Many Russian people understand what is going on and hate "Putin's war." They have no way to do anything. Opposing the war openly is illegal and gets you thrown in jail or worse. They hate that their sons, fathers, etc. are being sent to Ukraine with little or no training or equipment to die trying to kill what may be close relatives.

ChatGPT?

This sounds like some copy right of MSM, NPR or whatever. There is nothing original that has not been said repeatedly on on these and social medial. You have no idea of anything are going is true. To be honest it sounds like a ChatGPT, no analysis, no unique angle, and just random speculation that is a repeat of what has been said for a year now. Was anyone supposed to get anything out of these statements?


Again can someone give me a rational reason why we should care about Ukraine? I am waiting.

How would you know this? It sounds like a feel good story from NPR that hanse basis or the than "multiple" unknown sources. Anyone familiar with Russian history knows what you are saying sounds suspect. It also sounds like propoganda. Propoganda is easy to spot all you have to do is take the sense statements and change a the nations and people and if sounds the same it is propaganda. Let me guess you did copy and past from some online story?

The American people are not evil. They are kept in the dark and brainwashed by state-controlled media. There have been many stories out of United lately about those with close relatives in Afghanistan who are being killed and maimed by Bush, supported by his fanatical military and the business desperate to keep their fortunes. Many American people understand what is going on and hate "Bushes war." They have no way to do anything. Opposing the war openly is is considered unpatriotic. They hate that their sons, fathers, etc. are being sent to Afghanistan without the proper equipment to die trying to kill mostly civilians.

What on earth, please a rational reason not a meaningless slogan from ChatGPT. Do you you really work at the NNSA labs? This is a pre-school version of analysis.

"7:17 Because people on both sides are being slaughtered to feed the nationalist ego of an oligarch. There, now you can stop, “waiting”, and get back to your Cheerios."

AgaIn this is just silly preschool nonsense. People on both sides have been slaughtered and are being slaughtered in wars all over the world, yet some wars we care about some wars and others not. The argument because of "right and wrong" is clearly not the motivation or else we have been interested in many other wars or at least not been on the wrong some of some the ones we did get involved in. Please can someone give me a rational reasons beyond drivel. Again I am amazed that this is a blog related to the NNSA labs that this is the level of thinking we have.

Ok, 9:47. Perhaps in your wisdom you can provide a, “rational reason” why we should NOT, “care about Ukraine”.

Scooby, will you please stop tolerating this pro_Putin troll? His posts are revolting and inhumane. I understand he does not violate directly your rules, but when is enough blind acceptance of slaughter enough?

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!
