The period of 1940 to 1980 is calling. AKA the single largest period of economic prosperity humanity has ever known. And it says you're ignorant.
As if indirectly claiming that the rich already voluntarily transfer their wealth to the poor in their daily activities didn't already make that abundantly apparent.
We went from an average of 10 quakes a year BF (before fracking) to over 900 in this year alone. And the year aint over yet.
we can't even determine the new average yet, cause each year has been higher than the previous one in an ever increasing trend.
And youre estimate of what causes dmg is off too. House foundations (almost always slabs here) are cracking, requiring (very expensive) shoring/piering. Brick siding is falling off houses. Particularly older houses, which is the majority in the state (not a big new home market, most current dwellings date from the 70s/80s on average).
And we're talking about quakes in the 3's doing that.
and the article is talking about a facility located near the swarms. a facility that was never designed with seismic activity in mind, because we don't have those rules in OK like they do in CA.
So no its not FUD, but your post is rather ignorant.
"I can't find even a single one such prediction"... cause you didn't look very hard. except of course, that you have, and have posted about it before. or tried to claim something didn't come true....and did....and were shown it.
so you are a troll. and its because you are consistently wrong, and it is consistently pointed out with actual facts.
but you don't truly care about that. you only exist here to post BS, whether its science denialism on AGW articles or islamphobic nonsense on articles (which by the way, we missed you; you've missed the last few articles)
the largest group of folks who say 'ban all the guns' is the caricatures of the opposition that exist within the minds of the gun nuts. ie, its a fantasy of the NRA.
the majority of folks don't seek to ban all guns. they only seek reasonable gun control, such as had been proven quite effective in quite a few other advanced nations that are peers of the US.
however the NRA and its cronies DO oppose any and all regulations, and support complete and unfettered access to them. and their main tactic is to consistently misconstrue gun control advocates as gun grabbers who want to ban all guns.
actually most folks I know who hunt, they do it cause they want to kill something. also: what's with the idea that hunting (killing something) is about relaxation?
actually yo know what? your post is dumb enough, I have to invoke Poes Law, because it HAS to be satire.
no, militia did not refer to a standing army as a threat to the nation.
the founders did NOT desire a standing army, and indeed we didn't really have one. such as it was, it was small and temporary as possible. it therefore had to be reinforced with militiamen if any events actually occurred. the regulars effectively being the leaders and NCOs, and the militiamen providing the numbers.
therefore the militia WERE necessary to the security of the state, because the standing army was insufficient in its own. the Army, such as it was, provided the leadership, structure, and discipline, but not the manpower or individual arms. and for that reason, the people needed to be armed, as the state did not provide all the arms and equipment they would need. this stuff is basic military history, and in this historical context militia and people are used synonymously. and note, that your contention that people would mean something different is a red herring; people doesn't mean something different in this case. and it was only later that Armories began being established as places that contained ordinance for everyone under arms, as arms began progressing beyond what people might typically have at home, to ensure a supply of adequate munitions; at the time the USC was written Armories only supplied the regulars, and largely were where the cannon and shot were stored, not the arms (rifles) for the individual men.
Again you say SJW like its some sort of demeaning insult, the way conservatives in the past (and frankly still do) try to inject as much venom as possible into the words feminist, environmentalist, or activist. because those are bad things apparently.
you can write in a candidate or even vote third party
Actually state laws vary on that.
For example, in OK you can do neither. Write-ins invalidate your entire ballot.
And we actually have a stupid state law that only allows onto the ballot (and for you to register as) parties that garnered 10% or more of the popular vote in the previous election cycle, effectively killing 3rd parties in the state as the state refuses to recognize them. The law probably won't get eliminated until they use it to block Democratic party, which is probably only a few more cycles away as Red as this state is, at which point it will finally be declared unconstitutional (at least I hope SCOTUS wouldn't screw that one up)

ah, I see mi's sockpuppet went back and modded the thread 5 days after the fact.
point still stands, inconvenient as it may be for mi.

not flamebait.
verifiable fact.
those who abuse the mod system can fuck right off.
NewsOK, aka The Oklahoman, our local paper, is well known across the state as a shill for the energy companies.
After all, it's owned by one.
So thanks for linking to a news story they published that has already been dismissed by scientists across the state and country several times.
But not in OK.
And that's the point.
We went from an average of 10 quakes a year BF (before fracking) to over 900 in this year alone.

CA has mandatory minimum seismic design requirements.
OK doesn't.
And the energy companies are fighting efforts to add those requirements.
another Poes Law
Poe's Law
it doesn't have to tear it down. just fracture it, create a hole, that allows the previously contained oil to run out. probably into a nearby stream.
those little quakes can also be signs that the plates are slipping, and that a bigger quake is on the way.
it not very cut and dry
why do you keep posting this BS picture when it gets debunked every time?
you are a troll.
"I can't find even a single one such prediction" ... cause you didn't look very hard.

No, that's just you
more importantly, his conclusions are scientifically incorrect.
I see the deniers have mod points today

Why I say screw the NRA.
-a gun owner who supports gun control
actually most folks I know who hunt, they do it cause they want to kill something.

They typically do lose the child.
In the worst way possible.
Which is both the point and the tragedy.
Again you say SJW like its some sort of demeaning insult, the way conservatives in the past (and frankly still do) try to inject as much venom as possible into the words feminist, environmentalist, or activist. because those are bad things apparently.
nope.
still a moron.
Bigoted bullspit.
they've always had a strong journalistic bent.
not a large one, but still strong and well respected.
personally, i see what they're saying and why they're doing it.
but i am still gonna miss it.
And again you prove your stupidity
