Weren't you in NM before? Splitting atoms to squeezing them?Haven't been here in over 2 years. Five minutes in and I'm LOLing at the posts by all the old-timers I remember.
Moved to southern France, took up road biking again. Working at ITER, the new fusion reactor.
That is correct. And I do not miss LANL one fvcking bit.Weren't you in NM before? Splitting atoms to squeezing them?
Yeah, it's pretty country, in a Cormac McCarthy sort of way. But I wouldn't want to live there. South of France though........That is correct. And I do not miss LANL one fvcking bit.
Pretty amazing. There is a fromagerie right across the street from my house. The fresh goat cheeses are great. I don't pay a lot of attention to all the names of the rest, just buy some random selections usually and they never disappoint. But finding any cheddar is difficult. And a good Maytag-style blue is also elusive.how's the selection of fromage?
Thanks.Dude. Welcome back.
ITER! What's your scope exactly? That seems like an exciting project.

Even better is the bread, specifically the 1€ baguettes that people live on here. They're fantastic.
It's much better on TV. Basically a rolling 3-week tourism ad for France.will you spectate Le Tour?
so i've heard, but i'd still want to see it in person if i had the opportunity, just for the spectacle of it.It's much better on TV. Basically a rolling 3-week tourism ad for France.
But I do really want to be that guy in the unitard and Viking helmet running alongside the peloton for a few hundred yards.
Au contraire mon frere. I've pretty much given up on trying to learn it. It's crazy hard - every verb has 6 or 7 forms, nouns have a gender, and sentence structure is bizarre. Google translation is my best friend. And most people here speak a little English. I get by.So do you speak and write le Français?
We used to machine Be for SABRE FLIMBAL frames at Draper Labs.Thanks.
I'm here to provide expertise on controlling beryllium risk. The machine will have over 12 tons of it. People will get disease but they don't understand that yet. Maybe later.
Southern France is gorgeous and a roadie's wet dream. Plus all of Europe is easily and affordably accessible. So far I've been to London, Paris, Rome, Venice, Genoa, Amsterdam, and Portugal. Next up is Corsica.

I think I could be happy in Los Alamos for no other reason than The Chili Works.
Also immediate proximity to rancho de chimayo.I think I could be happy in Los Alamos for no other reason than The Chili Works.
I have 5 lbs of frozen green chile showing up this week.For the record - I had a couple of jalapeno/cheddar brats for lunch with green chile.
That should last a week or two, eh?I have 5 lbs of frozen green chile showing up this week.
Sorry, but the Chile Works breakfast burritos are the suck. Tortillas are too small, and they fill them with an overabundance of undercooked hash browns, not enough eggs and bacon, and the green chile is wimpy. El Parasol across the street is the bomb. And their tacos with the red salsa are to die for. I ate them every day when I was there in October.I think I could be happy in Los Alamos for no other reason than The Chili Works.
