EHh? I don't fully understand other than that it seems a rather weird post & comments.

The local library has a big book that has all of Asimov's robot stories in it. Yessss.
(I still have The Restaurant at the End of the Universe and 3 Discworld books to read first, tough. :) )


E: whoops this isn't the happy thread :P

Knowing Belgium, everyone will vote for themselves out of mistrust for anyone else, and some kind of weird direct democracy coalition will need to be formed from 11 million or so individuals.

Shouldn't that be a happy rather than a WTF? xD

I want to link to a short story so bad, but I can't recall what the name is.

Money isn't a thing anymore. Everything you do is based on your score with others in what amounts to be worldwide Facebook likes. Help a starving child? Someone sends you ten likes. Need a place to stay one too many times and your fried thinks you're now imposing? That'll cost you 30.

The only solution is pure villainy. Everyone acquire your twiddly-moustaches and goatees, there are some people who need to be tied onto train-tracks curiously situated atop pillars of TNT.

Done and done. Now, where are the tracks?

Alternatively, I have a tank of half-starved pirhannas we can slowly lower them into.

Just focus this time, the last time you got it all mixed up and we ended up with a ton of wet TNT and a piranha tied into the train tracks.

An earthquake just happened. ._.

I'm in britanny, western france. There's like no earthquake here, ever. The nearest fault line is in the middle of the mediterranean, a thousand kilometers from here.

Yet it's the SECOND earthquake in THREE MONTHS. Holy crap what the hell is happening here?

There could be an inactive fault line there. You don't think of the eastern US as an earthquake zone, but there's an inactive fault line there that's basically like a weak spot in the tectonic plate. I saw a pretty cool show that explained exactly what those were and how they work.

IIRC there's a pretty substantial fault in the Mississippi River valley, around the meeting point of west Kentucky/Tennessee and eastern Missouri/Arkansas.

Earthquakes will happen everywhere on occasion. Maybe the population is taking too much water out of aquifers, or pouring too much garbage into landfills, or the crust felt like rebounding a little bit from previous glaciation (I have no idea whether France ever had extensive glacier coverage.) techtonic plates are probably just shifting to relieve accumulated stress. Nothing is going to spontaneously explode. That would be silly.
