Real cowboys find their own feet. I’ve no doubt by being active you’ll find out in no time.

Lol X has been a wild place since the quake went down!

I think they will soon blame climate change. An ancient fault line has been activated due to stress of melting glaciers. https://www.businessinsider.com/east-coast-earthquake-came-from-ancient-sleeping-fault-reactivated-2024-4

I didn't even know we still had glaciers around here.

75 sats \ 2 replies \ @Cje95 6 Apr

I am not sure what you heard but that is a known active fault line system actually. Its called the Ramapo fault system (there are 4 different faults within this system). This quake though has been bigger than in the past as the USGS has logged 188 quakes at 2.5 or higher within 250 miles of NYC since 1957. I think esp. after Taiwan people are much more aware of them.

10 sats \ 1 reply \ @siggy47 6 Apr

I was trying to be funny. I wasn't serious. The general theory is that ice age glaciers deformed the area where the plates collided, and when the glaciers melted the plates have been in the process of springing back from that deformity over the course of time.

Lol my bad! I guess since with my work I have had to explain to people that this is rare and a sign of things to come that I wanted to say that its not as crazy out there as one thinks! Earthquakes in the region are much more common than one would think!

Parenthood is a gruelling journey of monotony, but even the clouds must part to allow a few rays of sunshine to trickle through.

Rushed off after work to meet Inadi and her family. I remember it like it happened yesterday - how she and her South African comrades tried out their Afrikaans lesson on us.

Life has taken a more serious turn since those carefree days in Kumamoto. We talked about its powerful punches - inflation, cost of living, having to do too much but be present too little - but for that one hour, our chatter was light and joyous.

I’m glad that my decision to join the Japan Exchange Teaching program so many years ago made me so happy today. My circumstances might have changed, but I’m the same old me, eager to learn more about the Big Bad World out there.

Lekker!

The truth is, one cannot believe in authority and be free, because accepting the myth of government is accepting one's own obligation to obey a master, which means accepting one's own enslavement.

Sadly, many people believe that begging the master, via political action, is all they can do. So they forever engage in rituals which only legitimize the slave-master relationship, instead of simply disobeying the tyrants.

The idea of disobeying authority, breaking the law and being criminals is more disturbing to them than the idea of being a slave.

I've found motivation is a lie. It cheats you when you need it. It fails you when you want it. And it makes you feel guilty for not achieving when you lacked it.

For me only discipline works, I get up and go to the gym at 5am not because I'm motivated to go, hell I really don't want to be dragging my ass out of bed to go and lift that early. But I do, because that's what time it is. It's time to go lift. Just like brushing your teeth... You don't skip it, it's just that time to do that task, only discipline you can really rely on.
