I bet it was in front of a Lion's Den. That chain still thrives on in the midwest with rubber dick and dvd sales to truckers and olds.

I saw that in my feed this morning, Missouri wasn't in the title, so I immediately thought it was the store I worked at for a month in central Kentucky (on transfer from Nashville). Wildly boring place, only time I saw college kids have a sword fight in the parking lot with double-ender dildos off the side of the interstate, too.

I read this thread because I find it an excellent source of news, but occasionally it seems like it has to be some sort of elaborate joke I'm simply not in on.

Whole world is a joke there, chief. We're just a darker shade of jaded in here, but that helps when deciphering bullshit news because we're used to being lied to about most poo poo. An enlistment is an eye-opener if you pay enough attention. It's almost like the military is an organization that breeds distrust among its members.

It's nice having civvies around in the thread, because you guys get exposed a little to our crazy, or those of us who are, and maybe that helps change the stigma some of us carry. When people categorically shovel us all into the babykiller or republican or hatemonger piles, it's nice that at least a few outsiders can see what parts of us remain relatively human. We're people too, just lied to so often that it becomes hard to determine what is and what isn't, at times.

Some of us have let the lying break our brains and just don't give a gently caress anymore. Send the bombers, Vlad, I could use a little midnight sunshine.

I'm kinda surprised by the civilian populace we draw here. I know a good chunk of goons see us as generally gun happy assholes or wannabe cops (cops wish they were mil, taking all our hand-me-downs) or kowtowing some right wing line in their heads, but that's quite oppositely displayed here on a daily basis. I'm proud of this little mil subforum, lots of smart and thoughtful folk, even if it is hidden behind a few more shades of gray. Thanks civvie readers and posters, for not judging us so quickly and tossing us in with right wing assholes subconsciously.

North Korea didn't drill 10km down into the earth, they dug into a mountain. And if you're testing nukes with a limited stockpile of fissile material, you're doing it on a smaller scale than making 5.0+ earthquakes 6 miles underground.

Then they're still investing in digging a deep hole. That's not exactly a cheap endeavor, and we likely would have satellite images of the spoils pile because Trump would be up posting them on twitter right now.

E: looked at usgs. There were two earthquakes at about the same depth (10km), something like 7km apart.

is the island getting ready to split in half or something? doesnt increased geological activity usually point towards something big happening?

No and no.

The island has a bunch of minor faults and two major, but the major faults weren't at play this week. The quakes over the past week have been along the western end of the south side of the island.

https://www.usgs.gov/news/magnitude-64-earthquake-puerto-rico posted:

The January 6 and 7, 2020, M 5.8 and M 6.4 earthquakes offshore of southwest Puerto Rico occurred as the result of oblique strike slip faulting at shallow depth. At the location of this event, the North America plate converges with the Caribbean plate at a rate of about 20 mm/yr towards the west-southwest. The location and style of faulting for the event is consistent with an intraplate tectonic setting within the upper crust of the Caribbean plate, rather than on the plate boundary between the two plates.

Nashville. Goddamn. I moved there in '99. That was the first season for the titans. It was an entirely different city back then. People talk about Vegas turning around to an extent, but Nashville has went full on gentrification all over the city. It's not remotely affordable now where you could once buy a decent little house for not much scratch and the occasional sound of gunshots. Now those neighborhoods are $300k to get into and you get a shoebox condo. loving wonder why people are leaving the cities.
