Earthquake!

[Wage Slave]

I can confirm that the human chain method of logistics is alive and well, and actually very efficient if you have lots of idle hands around the place.

Yes. Very efficient, fast, reliable and flexible. Huge volumes and masses can be moved surprisingly quickly.

[Wage Slave]

Nice Osprey PR hahahaha

No doubt they are making a very useful contribution - but yeah. They are over egging the pudding a bit.

[matsuki]

That stuff all needs to be stacked on a pallet, wrapped, and loaded for the trip...I can see it being efficient in other situations but just seems like pointless busywork in this case.

[Coligny]

I'd shit myself with the load weight shifting issues first...
CH53E can slingload 15tons on palets or nets...
V22: 9t in or 7t sling...

How's the toilet paper situation?

With all these horrible aftershocks continuing it is bound to be a sticky one, ferschur.

[Takechanpoo]

one of my neighbors moved to a suburb of fukuoka to avoid radioactivity and earthquake(kyusyu has been known to be an area where earthquakes relatively rarely happen).

Isn't Kita-Kyushu City one of the big 3-11 debris incineration centers? All the young families that moved down south here from Fukushima and surrounding areas say to avoid it like the plague.

You should stop eatimg glue. too late for the brain damage but there might be still time to save teh bunghole...

[Takechanpoo]

seems like some ditches in matsudo city, chiba pref. are more contaminated by radioactivity even than fukushima.

そして今回、最大の放射能汚染が見つかったのは、松戸市の住宅街にある側溝。線量計を当てると、毎時２・１６μＳｖという高い値を示した。国の除染基準は毎時０・２３μＳｖだから、その１０倍近い。さらに土の放射能を測定すると、３万４５４８Ｂｑ／㎏（放射線管理区域基準５６・２倍）を示し、平方メートル換算では１７６万Ｂｑ／㎡（同４４倍）という極めて高い放射能が確認された。

(respectively translate yourself)
as are inba swamp, tega swamp and ushiku swamp in tochigi and chiba pref.

I suppose the question will be whether the nuke plant becomes safer if it is not running with all the fuel inside.

Not "safe," but certainly "safer" when there are no nuclear reactions underway.

There will be reactions anyway, but the neutrons will be absorbed (more) by the control rods when the reactor is shut down. The Fukushima reactors were actually shut down directly after the quake, but it did not prevent meltdown. Actually, it can be argued that there would not have been meltdowns if the reactors would not have been shut down, because they would have been able to continue to supply electricity to the pumps that were supposed to remove the sea water from the tsunami.

Anyway, you are not the only one questioning the current policy regarding the Sendai plant:

Despite assurances, quakes prompt calls to switch off Japan’s nuclear reactors

I am mostly worried, though, about the storage pools at the nuke plants on and around Kyushu.

[Coligny]

Whichever way you put it...
Even if a plant is believed to be safe in case of quakes.
If you are in the first week of daily quakes without much end in sight.
You shut down the plant even if it's just to protect it for future use.
Keeping them running now would be like speeding toward a pileup saying "it's ok we got seat belts and airbags" (hopefully not takata)
The country was run for month without nukaplants. Even if it cost more, the outlook of not losing the powerplant and not completely killing any possible rational argument toward nukular use in criminally unstable seismic region would be a win.
Meanwhile the krauts and US continue to run more and more stuff with solar power despite most sad clowns assuring us that it is impossible.

to be clear...
I love it as an aircraft. hate it as a tool.

That spot in the north of Hokkaido seems to be safe, though.

[wagyl]

And no escape from American date formats...

Take's sauce. An interesting site overall.

The most boring part of Hokkaido is, as Russell notes, safe. Safer than most major cities on the US Pacific coast. So is the part of the Kurile Islands the Russians wont give back (Just kidding)

nothing say's "you're fucked" better than a disaster scale that don't start at 0 and don't go below 3 out of 7...

FTFY:

[wagyl]

Isn't the dawn of history the same as "when we started writing stuff down?" The record in 679AD consists of reports of the size of the crack that opened up, the landslips (with an amusing episode) and the fact that new hot springs started. From that they have guessed magnitude and shindo.

have thought fix it in the next log on. but well, thx.

and why hokkido is relatively peaceful is

特に歴史地震においては、山間部・離島などの集落が少なかった、または存在しなかった地域の震度情報が残っていないことが多いため、この地図の震度が最大震度ではない可能性が十分あります（例えば北海道は200年ほどしか記録が残っていません）

there are just the records left for approx only 200 years of hokkaido.

Upon reflection I think you might be right. Apologies, Takepoo.

That gives me an idea.

Let's just throw out all the records of past earthquakes, thus resetting all shindos to zero.

At least it'll satisfy Le Coligny...

You know that it's the kind of shit I most hate ab00t statistics...

[wagyl]

With poetic luck, all the past records will be destroyed in a devastating earthquake.

[yanpa]

Anyway, so we're saying HAARP has been around for thousands of years?

[Coligny]

yea, like your mom...

Yeah, I always wondered why her middle name was "Boudicea".
