Like it was basically going "transphobia is bad". Twitch and Youtube are both notorious for "Ban first, ask questions later, and never admit you made a bad decision when you banned someone". If you took the quoted skit without even context from within the skit, it was a worthy ban, but if you look at the whole skit, its weird meta-humor about how bigots aren't funny. Twitch and Youtube moderators don't care about context.

ded posted:a 7.8 with a 7.6 follow up would have wrecked stuff in cali too. Not the same scale but quakes at 7+ break poo poo. That was 34 years ago, though. A cursory google search reveals that the event spurred the development of further earthquake proofing, including a technology specifically designed to prevent the pancaking of bridge spans. When Ecuador was hit with a 7.8 magnitude earthquake a few years back, none of the bridges fitted with the upgrades collapsed. The same article does mention that base isolators are not part of CA building codes, though, so you're probably right that poo poo would break unless it was upgraded since. Meanwhile, Edogan is building a multibillion dollar canal to nowhere. psydude fucked around with this message at 15:23 on Feb 7, 2023 |

Do any of you have any more information on all the bomb threats called into Michigan Walmarts yesterday? I'm only curious because one of those is just a little ways away from where I work. Not that the cops told us about it, even after evacuating the Walmart and starting to search for explosives; we found out when a customer came in and asked us what was going on.

pygmy tyrant posted:Not to discount all the social issues, but from my understanding different fault zones can respond pretty differently to the same magnitude of quakes and you can't directly compare them. We'll start with assuming a fault is basically a plane shape. A plane's orientation in space can be described in terms of its strike and dip. The strike is which way the slope is oriented with reference to cardinal direction, and the dip is the angular measurement of how much that plane tilts away from a level horizontal line. Now, the relative slip along a fault basically breaks down into three different categories. A transform (like the San Andreas Fault) is movement along strike. This is also sometimes called strike-slip fault. A normal fault is dip-slip movement where the footwall rises relative to the headwall of the fault -- Basin and Range topography across the intermountain West in the US is caused by this kind of dip-slip movement. The third is a reverse fault, also dip slip, but where the headwall rises relative to the footwall. This is the Cascades or the Peruvian Andes, or an island arc like the Philippines. Between the two dip-slip faults, consider that the configuration will result in the rock in a normal fault extending horizontally in space away from the fault and a reverse fault compressing in space towards the fault. All of that said, in the field, faults actually present as much more complex than a simple plane, usually a combination of vectors through a system of faults. While measured magnitude of an earthquake is a global figure that is relative to how much energy was released by the earthquake and a 7.4 is a 7.4 in terms of movement and energy no matter which type of fault, reverse faults do tend to result in the most severe earthquakes. That compressional movement in a reverse fault is storing more and more energy (stress, in stress/strain terms) into the material. In addition, in a big enough fault with sufficient relative slip, the material that is subducted into the mantle as the two sides of the fault compress into each other and don't have anywhere else to go is going to basically be vibrating underneath of there such that both bodies of rock are straining under one side of the fault. There is also the significance of the relative up/down movement in a dip-slip fault over a strike-slip fault. Volcanism will be most pronounced on reverse faults as well, but any of those faults can make a volcano and also volcanism is another can of worms. The Anatolian fault system that caused this earthquake is actually a strike-slip movement, so in theory our least earthquakey kind of fault. Unfortunately for Anatolia, the damage from an earthquake is really going to be controlled by human activity -- how much damage occurs results from what human made stuff is there to be damaged. Which I say to mean that typically how "bad" the earthquake is has quite a bit more to do with the infrastructure than what type of fault you're dealing with. Earthquakes that devastate concrete block villages on Caribbean islands or Turkish apartment buildings would do relatively minor damage in Seattle or Honshu in spite of the respective fault zones themselves being "better" or "worse" for earthquakes. Personally I stan using a Modified Mercalli Intensity (measure the actual damage rather than the earthquake itself) for communications about earthquakes, because with magnitude you need to basically synthesize the relative development of the place in human terms with the magnitude to come up with how bad the situation is -- 7ish is Loma Prieta, but 7ish was also enough to basically level the entire country of Haiti. tl;dr: yes different faults behave differently, but don't discount the social issues. They are what really drive the destruction and suffering in an earthquake

I think you should let him start a thread about war crime theory, so he can lay out his beliefs and arguments, and background on how he came to to these conclusions. Even if he doesn't enter in good faith, the rest of the forum might enjoy the discussion.

I’m still struggling with how you fight “fair” with a country that has advocated genocide in both words and actions. At least when we nuked Japan we just said it was for military reasons since we obviously value our soldiers higher than their civilians at the time. I’m just happy we appear to be on the right side of history for once.

My answer is you hold yourself to the principles you think are human (or the ones you once had, before the war). What the other side does doesn't factor into that, how could their crimes absolve yours. You look at yourself and make sure you aren't evil. Failure is criminal, simple as
