interesting that your sig says, you don't practice what you preach.

I don't tolerate you.

And "No, you doesn't." is also nonsense.

New 7.4 quake repoted off coast just now, same location as previous, tsunami warning out.

Magnitude 7.4 earthquake hits off Japan coast

– 7 mins ago
TOKYO – Japan was rattled by a strong aftershock and tsunami warning Thursday night nearly a month after a devastating earthquake and tsunami flattened the northeastern coast.

The Japan meteorological agency issued a tsunami warning for a wave of up to one meter. The warning was issued for a coastal area already torn apart by last month's tsunami.

Officials say Thursday's quake was a 7.4-magnitude and hit 25 miles (40 kilometers) under the water and off the coast of Miyagi prefecture. The quake that preceded last month's tsunami was a 9.0-magnitude.

Buildings as far away as Tokyo shook for about a minute.

U.S. Geological Survey gave the preliminary magnitude as 7.4 and it struck off the eastern coast 60 miles (100 kilometers) from Sendai and 90 miles (140 kilometers) from Fukushima. It was about 215 miles (345 kilometers) from Tokyo.

The depth was 25 miles (40 kilometers). Shallower quakes tend to be more destructive.

Hundreds of aftershocks have shaken the northeast region devastated by the March 11 earthquake, but few have been stronger than 7.0.

Great news.

[DaShi]

Exactly. This is when you want to have an earthquake: when everyone is evacuated from the last one.

[SlowwHand]

That's a very optimistic thought.

The main objective of the London Convention is to prevent indiscriminate disposal at sea of wastes that could be liable for creating hazards to human health; harming living resources and marine life; damaging amenities; or interfering with other legitimate uses of the sea.

indiscriminate disposal

I'd say the current dumping of radioactive waste (in order to prevent more heavily radioactive waste having to be put out) is a discriminate disposal (if such a phrase exists). Having said that, the disposal of cooling water from Fukushima sucks, and the Japanese know this all to well themselves as they will be bearing the worst consequences of it: radioactive seafood or at the very least public perseption it's polluted which mounts to the same thing.

Get healthy Docfeellousy!

Sloww, you are an idiot. A texan in the same situation would be fighting the pigs in a mudhole for an edible root

[SlowwHand]

You can hypothesize all that you want, but this guy is documented.

[BlackCat]

Yeah, this guy has his life turned upside down by an earthquake and a tsunami, maybe lost family and now he lives like a pig - actually, it looks like that he has pretty much control and order considering.

[DaShi]

Seriously, **** you, Sloww. You and all your bull**** sympathy.
