soooo California (and maybe other states/places nearby) may be in a pinch

we just had a ~7.0 earthquake here, larger than another one yesterday, which was a 6.4.



how's your summer going so far?

Boi that’s bad. Hope you guys stay well over there

Unproductive summer so far

Hopefully the trend continues and we get a Magnitude 7.6 earthquake tomorrow, and this accursed state can sink into the Pacific Ocean.

What do you do when an earthquake strikes and a raised highway collapses under you?

You become one with the highway

hide in the newly formed cave and hope you survive

Damn.

Actually, since the Richter scale is logarithmic, I don't think having a linear trend would work out like this. Does it?

Not sure, the number seem a bit bunched together so it'd probably be slightly linear.

They also predicted that a ~6.0 earthquake/aftershock could hit after the one today. (which is probably equally as bad)

I know this is off-topic and I should, and usually am, shitpost, but John, a 7.6 earthquake is atleast 25x stronger than a 6.9 earthquake. The jump from 6.4 to 6.9 is only roughly 8x stronger.

But this really makes me worried about everyone in California, because scientists are expecting atleast an 8% chance that the big one could occur within the next few days to a week. There's always that big earthquake that shakes California every 100ish years that's over 7.5 magnitude, or even over 8. And it's overdue, like it has been for many years. Some seismologists are predicting that this big one may even be bigger than the expected.

I worry for you guys in California, there's always aftershocks that comes after earthquakes, after big ones there are usually many aftershocks for years. Please be safe.

oof, I can't even imagine what an 8 would feel like here. In my situation, we live in southern California, specifically about 100 miles away from the system thats causing these quakes (roughly in central California). Our house is already quite shaking during the 7.1 yesterday, so a quake 25x larger than that would...well just not be pleasant. I can't imagine what its like closer to the system.

Hope everyone's okay so far whose been affected by the earthquakes :p



on a more lighter note,
apple

They say same about yellowstone . . .

I.. honestly don't know, that's probably much, much more deadly.

Thanks for that, CT!

this is why i had a hard time mapping my medium difficulty in critical hit

aren't earthquakes when graveyards become an underground maracas party?

Almost heaven, West Virginia
Blue Ridge Mountains, Shenandoah River
Life is old there, older than the trees
Younger than the mountains, blowing like a breeze
Country roads, take me home
To the place I belong
West Virginia, mountain mama
Take me home, country roads
All my memories gather round her
Miner's lady, stranger to blue water
Dark and dusty, painted on the sky
Misty taste of moonshine, teardrop in my eye
Country roads, take me home
To the place I belong
West Virginia, mountain mama
Take me home, country roads



Oopsh wrong state

My breakfast is straight out the medicine cabinet
A remedy for the aftermath of my habits
Sometimes it's the ones who try to help
That hurt the most
I feel like we're playing tug of war and I'm the rope
And I'm stretched to the limit
But you keep on pulling
And I'm gonna lose my goddamn mind, I'm gonna lose my mind

I want to hide away in the back of a cave
At the top of a mountain
Where no one can hear me and no one can see me
So I don't have to deal with them
And they don't have to deal with me
'Cause relationships are overrated
Maybe I'm just tired and jaded
But I'm sorry I just like myself more than I like you

So call me anti-social, call it masturbation
Either way it's a solo operation
I'm just far more comfortable alone

It appears that apathy
Has gotten the best of me
'Cause I'm so tired of you talking my ear off
About all your problems I just can't fix
I don't appreciate this unwanted company
And your constant chatter
Reminds me why I'd rather you leave me be

So call me anti-social, call it masturbation
Either way it's a solo operation
I'm just far more comfortable alone

'Cause people are ugly and people are hateful
Destructive and greedy
We're proud and ungrateful
The world would be so much better off without us
So swallow a bullet
Or a handful of pills
We're all compost in training
And there's graves left to fill
Distract ourselves to make us feel like we're not just mistakes
Distract ourselves to make us feel like we're not just mistakes

It seems that everybody always has a bone to pick
A promise to break, never again will I make that mistake
Of trusting anyone
Trusting anyone
Trusting anyone
This is my misanthropic confession
Human beings are a waste of breath and
Don't think I exclude myself
I'm an asshole just like you

'Cause people are ugly and people are hateful
Destructive and greedy
We're proud and ungrateful
The world would be so much better off without us
So swallow a bullet
Or a handful of pills
We're all compost in training
And there's graves left to fill
Distract ourselves to make us feel like we're not just mistakes
Distract ourselves to make us feel like we're not just mistakes

What's this terror that I can't imagine? A world that seems to spin up on its head. Wake up! The fight is drawing nearer.

And with this pounding that just seems to resonate there's A sense of desperation swirling deep within me. The path in front seems so far away.

Never let the fear in, concealing what should be said When you've been surrounded by some kind of lonesome dread.

Each time they try to goad me, I remember: This takes a different type of fighting.

This is a resistance!

Don't they know that fear gives way to inner strength As hard as they may try, can't define what's "me". Grab hold of who you are. Don't lose your way and set it free!

Even when the timer's slowly counting down If you already know or still need to Search a little harder for the strength to fight the panic. Let it out!

The path laid in front is ever-winding. The noise that's echoing drowns out the voice inside. It's easy to ignore it.

Imagination sometimes gets the best of me and Yet as it's taking charge the seeds of hope are growing. The path in front's not so far away.

Never let the unknown get to you and keep you there, Even if it's easier to give into despair.

Each time they try to goad me, I remember: This takes a different type of fighting.

This is a resistance!

Even though the world feels like it's gonna end, Just know you're not alone in this vastness and Remind yourself again. Don't be afraid to take my hand.

Sometimes there are days when it's just hard to see Beyond what lies before us in darkness. Time to take a leap of faith. I won't go down so easily!

I'll go on! I can't stop!

we are fighting dreamers

Isn't there an anime called Tokyo Magnitude 8.0 or was it 7.0
anyway, east coast doesn't get earthquakes like, at all, last time my state was hit by one it was maybe 2010, but only people that were immobile at that moment felt it, because of how little the quake was.

stay safe though
