At home under Puget Sound, Cascadia Megathrust lurks in the dark, slowly building strain.

Today, I sleep deep beneath the ocean.

@USGS If you don't grow it and harvest the crop, you mine it.
Simple as.

@therealrayra @sanandreafault Even Sandy could do both. Nail salon lunchtime ; "big one" during evening rush hour, to really test those bridge re-builds.

[Cascadia Megathrust @CascadiaMthrust]

@sanandreafault Sandy, you know you can always make a date for "the big one".
(As if you had any stored energy worth mentioning.)

[Cascadia Megathrust @CascadiaMthrust]

@earthcurated None of them.
That would imply order-of 10 billion visitors per natural wonder over (say) 60 years - 170 million visitors a year.

You'd have to pave them over to survive the tourists ... Oh, I see - that's your plan!

@1goodtern Dinosaur-on-dinosaur predation. IT's almost a surprise that they (the dinosaurs) still have nearly twice as many species alive as the (alleged) dominant mammals.

@DrNeilStone Is the Tangerine Shitgibbon's fluorescent orange skin disease spreading to him?
What could he possibly be doing to the Liar-in-Chief involving such intimate skin-to-skin contact? They're Republicans, so the whole horrible gamut of possibilities is open.

@FraggedFigment @FlerfWatch Yes, that is why when astronomers are predicting occultations of stars and other bodies by the Moon, they apply a "limb profile" to the first approximation produced by Newtonian modelling of spheres.

@Vincent_Ledvina Shooting stars are so relaxing - it's almost as if they're not the universe taking potshots at me.

That the universe hasn't hit - so far - is slightly cheering.
That it manages to hit the right planet when it has neither brain nor mind on the other hand ...

@MonthlySandwich What sort of a proud money-stealing American are you, to not see the potential to bankrupt your neighbours by making medicine a for-profit industry? X should ban unprofitable people like you

[Cascadia Megathrust @CascadiaMthrust]

@USGSVolcanoes Ohhh, it look almost exactly like a Wall-E, left sitting in the desert.
Wait, hang on ...

@giveashitnature When is Trump sending in the bombers? Mid-morning, week day?
See what a well desigend school shooter policy will do against a 500kg bomb - field tested in Iran.

@WMO @glamos_ch A relevant point might be, when is the peak month for snowfall? January? Feb, even? It's very unlikely to be symmetrical around calenderic New Year.
If it's Feb, then the winter's snowfall melted in 4 to 5 months.

[Cascadia Megathrust @CascadiaMthrust]

@amanvincent @WMO @glamos_ch Planting trees on glaciers ... hmmm. Interestig idea. "Challenging", even.
On the slopes *above* glaciers ... yes, that might help. A little.

@DrNeilStone Did you see this report https://t.co/yOgUkc68eu
Now, I'm not *surprised* that vaccines are affected by hormones, but the mechanism might be interesting.
(First time on @Twitter for months, and I see the anti-vaxx morons are still out in abundance.)

Women who were vaccinated against covid-19 in the luteal phase of their menstrual cycle reported having a breakthrough infection sooner than those vaccinated during their follicular phase https://t.co/MX1Lq1Dtiq

@CuriosityonX 1) Becasue the Galaxy is big, and they are not nearby.

2) Becasue Orion is absolutely more interesting.

0) Becasue Einstein was right, and the speed of light really is a maximum.

@ThatEricAlper Did the Library of Alexander have a card index?
And was the Archive of Ninevah indexed on cuneiform ... what to call them? Biscuits?

@simongerman600 At 14, I was hithchikint the lengtrh of the country during school holidays to go hill-walking. Solo, of course.

One dodgy incident in 45+years using the thumb. compared to one bus crash, and several seats next to disturbing (or disturbed) people. So much safer.

@ClarkeMicah If she were in America, she'd have been shot (with cow tranquilisers probably, by a vet) by now, resolving any concerns about her being innocent.
It's enough to make me shake (Portland) in fury.

@darrengrimes As a Nazi, the Reform person was lucky to not get punched. That's what you do to Nazis.

@CyclingKent101 Oh, I woudn't go *quite* that far.
But there are things you can do with a raincoat, including putting a reflective tabard into it's pocket.
I actually keep mine in the pannier bag, with my laptop, lights, spare tube, tyre levers, adjustable spanner and a few other tools.
