You realize it’s dead, right?
Of course.

Pretty decent earthquake just now
Felt it more than any in last couple of years, probably due to location. Got a phone notification from Google a second before it happened.
I’m pretty near the epicenter, heard it before I felt it. Felt big, thought that one might be it!
That was LOUD!
Are you still in Altadena? This was pretty close to our area. First one in a while where I’ve started looking for something to get under.
Middle of population center, almost. Many recent quakes have been like 100 miles from downtown.

North Pasadena. That was my first real earthquake since moving from the East coast. Ironically, I was looking at earthquake kits this morning and wondering if that’s something I should get or build out myself. Definitely doing it now.
This is like a 4.8. A 7.0 would be like 100* (edited) times stronger, and would not be unprecedented. An 8 would be no bueno.
feel a little dumb about it but I’m team zero, I have a dozen reasons but the biggest one by far is that if take my chances and get unlucky then some jackass friend is gonna pay for my funeral just so they can carve on my tombstone “he was a swallower”
But that’s how you know that you were loved
3rd in three days in the lower central valley, right?
Apparently in Scandinavia if a kid has a friend spend the night, they don’t feed the friend. Which is just so weird.
It’s also not true at all ![]()
BUT I READ IT ON THE INTERNET
I think I did ask a Swedish guy I was working with at the time and he said something like yeah it wouldn’t be abnormal to not feed a house guest, even if they’re spending the night. Or maybe I’m misremembering.
I’m fairly sure it came up on this forum last year too, I guess it’s one of those things that go semi-viral once in a while.
But again, not true at all, it’s not a thing.
This might have been the source.
- Regular days has pretty boring food. You don’t want to impose that food somebody elses child. So Scandinavians will mainly ask if a child wants to join there is a specially nice food like taco or pizza. You don’t want to push liver and boiled potato on your child’s friend. Otherwise they are put in a predicament to say yes to something they don’t want just to be polite.
LOL
Sounds like there might be something to this, even if it’s not common.
