Before people start romanticizing this kind of event, keep in mind that we rely on our electromagnetic technology to keep the majority of the human population fed and watered. There would be widespread dehydration, starvation and eventually death within the first few days/weeks/months. Also, anyone know if Faraday…

Yes. We need plunged back into the stone ages with millions of people that have no appreciable survival skills and a sense of entitlement that they should be taken care of no matter what. Great thinking.

Dr. Jones hopes to have the app in place for LA soon… they just need money. I'm heading out to meet her husband (also a seismologist!) to learn more about it.

Interesting read on the science, but 4.4 is hardly something that Los Angilinos even bother to wake up for...

Has the "Ring of Fire" been particularly busy over the last week, or am I just imagining things?

Wow. That is some serious Scarlett Johanspin.

It is the worst! I enjoy 90s pop music cause it was done well. Now its just super repetitive with super lame beats.

Yeah, because dancing is not a talent at all... Everyone can be a dancer without the minimal effort....

I feel like I would never get myself into this mess in the first place. All she had to do was some basic googling to realize these companies have conflicting positions... You'd think someone in her circle would have alerted her. Don't they have people for this?

Charity seeking a solution to world poverty or machine that makes soda?

Jesus, Johansson, you go the other way; you stay with Oxfam and dump the company riding the coattails of an occupation force.
