So now he rides a second hand Nissan Bluebird...

The whole thing is fucking hilarious.

Good morning mothafuckas.

They called him a space Karen. I AM DONE.

Kanye West’s fans started a GoFundMe campaign to make the embattled rapper a billionaire again. Dozens of people have since promoted their own GoFundMe pages encouraging others to make them billionaires instead of West. The fundraising page no longer exists.

Thread: Iranian protesters set fire to Ayatollah Khomeini's house

Ayatollah Khomeini is said to have been born in the house, which is now a museum that commemorates his life. He served as the first supreme leader of Iran until his death in 1989, which is still marked by a day of mourning each year.

Five members of the security forces were killed in the latest unrest on Thursday, according to Iranian state media. Meanwhile, funerals for young Iranians said to have been killed by security forces sparked fresh demonstrations on Friday.

We are quaking again.

Earthquake reported in Georgia. The 2.4 magnitude earthquake was reported around 1:55 a.m. in West Point, Georgia. Three people have reported to the United States Geological Survey that they felt the quake as of 8:30 a.m.

Did you notice it?

I was asleep.

I will never forget the one that had my room rolling.

It was like being in the middle of the ocean.

Idk if you've ever experienced an EQ but holy shit.

This was it, 2015.

Cool.

Not even a biggie. Imagine being in a Tokyo highrise when that starts swayin'.



I haven´t been in one btw, if that´s what you´re wondering.

Hough uses an analogy of a big swell in the ocean explaining that waves will be damaging if they jostle the boat violently. For a large ship on a big swell its bow would go up while the stern goes down, generating stress within the boat. If the ship is smaller than the swell, the entire ship just goes up and down – essentially going along for the ride. Another significant contributor to earthquake damage comes from earthquake-triggered landslides and liquefaction, collectively known as ground failure.

Why was an earthquake in Virginia felt at more than twice the distance than a similar-sized earthquake in California? The answer is one that many people may not realize. Earthquakes east of the Rocky Mountains can cause noticeable ground shaking at much farther distances than comparably-sized earthquakes in the West.

These older formations have been exposed to extreme pressures and temperatures, making them harder and often denser. Faults in these older rocks have also had more time to heal, which allows seismic waves to cross them more effectively when an earthquake occurs.

Earthquakes in the East tend to cause higher-frequency shaking—faster back and forth motion—compared to similar events in the West. Shorter structures are more susceptible to damage during fast shaking, whereas taller structures are more susceptible during slow shaking.

An example of the earthquake hazard in the eastern U.S. is provided by the surprising level of high-intensity ground shaking that occurred in Washington, DC, during the 2011 Virginia earthquake. This shaking caused well-publicized damage to some historic buildings, even though the earthquake was moderate in size and its epicenter was 80 miles from the city.

M5.9 August 23, 2011 Mineral, Virginia

The M5.9 earthquake occurred near Mineral, Virginia, and provided scientists with a rare opportunity to record, observe, and analyze data that had previously not been available for this part of the U.S. It was widely felt--from Maine to Georgia, west to Cincinnati, Cleveland, and Chicago, and southeastern Canada--over a broad area inhabited by one-third of the U.S. population. When the earth stopped shaking, more than 148,000 people reported their experience of the earthquake on the USGS Did You Feel It? (DYFI) site.

About five to ten seconds before the quake, many of the apes, including Kyle (an orangutan) and Kojo (a Western lowland gorilla), abandoned their food and climbed to the top of the tree-like structure in the exhibit. About three seconds before the quake, Mandara (a gorilla) let out a shriek and collected her baby, Kibibi, and moved to the top of the tree structure as well. Iris (an orangutan) began “belch vocalizing”—an unhappy/upset noise normally reserved for extreme irritation—before the quake and continued this vocalization following the quake. All the snakes began writhing during the quake (copperheads, cotton mouth, false water cobra, etc.). Normally, they remain inactive during the day. The ducks immediately jumped into the pool. The beavers stopped eating, stood on their hind legs and looked around, then got into the water, too. They all stayed in the water. Within an hour, some of the beavers returned to land to continue eating. The Zoo has a flock of 64 flamingos. Just before the quake, the birds rushed about and grouped themselves together. They remained huddled during the quake.
