7.3 magnitude earthquake off the shore is what I meant

It was downgraded to 6.9, which is a pretty big difference. Last I heard they're expecting 3-meter waves. Not fun, but nothing like the 39-meter max height of the last major tsunami.

Well, if SE was ever looking for an opportunity to abandon ship....

"Due to the tsunami, the FFXI servers are now all underwater. We apologize for the inconvenience."
"But the servers aren't located anywhere near -"
"THEY ARE UNDERWATER. We apologize for the inconvenience."

lets not forget the richter scale is logarithmic a 6.9 earthquake is 1/40 the strength of a 7.3 (i think)

Something that starts as a fringe idea and moves to mainstream usage....is no longer fringe.

Whether it is the same idea or has morphed into something new is up for debate. But 'alt-right' was fringe and is now in mainstream usage.

I don't agree with you about the degree of fringeness™ of the alt-right, but let's assume you're right. Who is giving them media coverage beyond what is warranted, all in an attempt to make them appear like a larger problem than they actually are? If the alt-right is now mainstream, it was forced there to push a narrative.
Well at least you can always blame the media right?

Interesting note is that Earthquakes aren't rare and are actually quite common. There are lots of little magnitude 3's and such happening all the time, just they are so weak that we never really recorded them before. Until recently when we deployed these large sophisticated networks of sensors to better detect and predict Earthquakes.

Difference in magnitude is 2.51 i.e 7.3 is 2.511 times bigger than a 6.9 and is 3.981 times stronger.

Having been through many growing up in So.Cal with 6.7 being the largest experienced; a 6.9-7.3 would give many of you nightmares. Especially if you never been in an earthquake in before.

Anything over 6.0 is going to be scary and cause quite a bit of damage. Under that it depends on how far someone is from the epicenter.

An even more disturbing parallel: Trump wants people of a specific religion databased so they can all be watched by the feds. Know who else databased people of a specific religion so the government could watch them? Hitler. Yellow stars of David on peoples' clothing to mark them as Jews. Trump is no different from Hitler. Same hate, same purpose, different language.
I have been thinking of marketing black armbands decorated with yellow stars of david, or yellow crescents, or pink triangles.

Can't think of a good one for blacks save something based on the black star line's logo.



But it wouldn't fit the theme.

Look, if you really want to Godwin so bad, you and CJ can start a little club and just have at it. You can even have the room where the "Obama's gonna declare martial law and take our guns" guys were hanging out. They don't need it anymore.

Look if you really want to pretend these guys don't exist and aren't feeling the least bit empowered since Trump hasn't denounced and delegitimized them yet, that room you speak of is available.

Hell we even have a resident poster here who uses the same jargon and whose name sounds a lot like Nazi when read aloud.

I invite you to continue to dwell in the delusion that Hillary Clinton lost because the sixty something million people that voted for trump and the fifteen million that didn't vote at all, are all secretly sexist nazi super racists and hillary was a super great candidate.


It will make the 18 elections a hell of a lot easier for us.
