World Earthquakes 2010-2012 Visualization Map
That... is a lot of earthquakes.
It's really strange how stable Australia, Central North-Western Africa, and the eastern reaches of both North and South America seem, given the heavy activity nearby.
I didn't notice any along the northern Asia, either.
Europe got more than I expected ('dat Mediterranean, yo), as did the Gulf of Mexico and South America's west coast.
But, daaaaaaang, Polynesia/South-East Asia islands. Dang.
:I

Somebody needs to tell you the rules, CD<3, and that job has fallen to Arch Excruciator Longears here.
1) Discussion of politics and religion and American sports is discouraged by having flaming bicycles shot at you by a hamster.
2) If your post is at the top of the page and you are not Crookshanks, you are naked.
That's it, although I might invent some more, because I'm the Arch Excruciator, and I can.

Since when have I been the one shooting bicycles?

That's fine I go out of my way to avoid politics and religion anyway, I'm too easily sucked in.
I'm neither American nor sporty so beyond yeah boy! Heck yeah! Balls and stuff! Yeah! I'm at a loss.
As too the nakedness, thank god someone told me! Wouldn't want to get caught with my pants up now would I.

I have to admit that I don't get the appeal of Jessica Jones. Granted, I'm only a few episodes in (no Kilgrave scenes yet, just fleeting glimpses), but it's just. So. Damned. Depressing.
"Hey, let's try to make PTSD and alcoholism sexy and stylish!"
I dunno. I used to love dark shows with broken characters. I really liked Sopranos. I really liked Lost. I adored Deadwood. But I haven't been able to watch Mad Men or Breaking Bad (can't make it through the first season of either).

Both deal with computers and John does programming. They might be able to point you to some good tutorials.
Annoyingly, I point everyone to w3schools, but it looks like they don't do Java.
John, any good Java sources?

Action!Town! is being besieged on all sides!
Tree guys are out trimming trees in the neighbourhood, so the birch trees must be protected at all costs.
And then the a*%#*%@ that sprays chemicals or fertilizer is also about, which means I had to cordon off all the yards with signs telling him to back off our yard and garden every four feet.
Coupled that with walking the dog immediately after dropping Tiny Doesn't Like Dinosaurs Anymore off at school has meant a busy action packed morning for me.

That's pretty much the appeal.
But (and don't tell anyone, it's a secret) she's also meant to be a deep-down good person (and is often called out on her anti-social traits and alcoholism as things that actively interfere with her attempts at doing well, personally or professionally), and, in the end, I suspect the series ends on a hopeful note.
But I'm not going to lie: it's a hard road, so far, and I'm halfway through the end of the last episode, and I honestly don't know.
That said: lol at superhero coincidences!
(Well, okay, I suppose it's only partially a coincidence, considering Hell's Kitchen isn't all that big, and JJ's backstory, but, still. That he* would be associated with those people and happen to be the one that Kilgrave ordered to do the thing? Heh.)
* I am not referring to Luke. No, that just makes sense.

Well, the universe has a sick sense of humor.
She just read the details, and not only do I have to show up in person to drop her off, but I'm not allowed to leave until the procedure is complete. WTF!?!?!
I am seriously being required to sit in a waiting room for 6 hours because they've had so many issues with people not having rides. Once again, I suffer for the lack of others' responsibility.
Grrr....

Nobodyswife can wear this under her Mei cosplay. Life is good. Or will be. Once NobodysHome eats the chocolate cake I send him, that is.

Having been looking at the estimates several professional outfits to remove 7 diseased/dying cedar trees from my yard, I'm fully understanding the appeal of finding a barely functioning drunk to do it on the cheap. I'm considering getting drunk just to have the courage to do it myself. The ER bills from that endeavor should still be cheaper than what some of these guys have been asking.

LOL. Post your questions here. I was a math professor for 8 years. I've even got a Ph.D. and everything.
But if you start calling me "Doctor", I'm going to flee!
EDIT: And yes, as a programmer, I DO use them every day.
Don't listen to him! Math is full of drunken lies! Go into another field! DEATH TO MATH!!

To get my phone's battery's part number so I could order a new one, I had to remove the battery from the phone. Ever since I put it back in, it's been behaving perfectly. So apparently I don't need a new battery.
I read NobodysWife's pre-surgery instructions and they just said, "You must have a guaranteed ride home."
She just read the details, and not only do I have to show up in person to drop her off, but I'm not allowed to leave until the procedure is complete. WTF!?!?!

i don't know. As someone who has had to pick people up before, this sounds less like irresponsibility and more like insurance lawsuit avoidance. I can practically smell the fear coming out of that verbiage.

its too late for tactics, despite his love for final fantasy tactics, math has corrupted him.

So that would be believable... if they'd required me to be there for the actual surgery.
As it is, when the surgery occurred, I was at home getting the kids to school. This is a less-invasive follow-up procedure. So it's just weird, inconsistent rules. And when you're both Lawful and obsessive-compulsive, inconsistent rules at the same facility make your eye twitch.Tacticslion |

Now the sprayer guy can't read all the signs I put up AND tried to go through my cordon of the yard.
Hey! I know what Captain Yesterday needs today! Conflict!
Eye twitches, ever so slightly.
I'm off to HEMA shortly, but I can nip over with a bag full of swords afterwards, if you like, though I must admit I've never been up against a man with a sprayer.
