"Hicks believes magma may suddenly have drained from a volcanic chamber about 10 miles under the seafloor near Mayotte"
This implies that there are large voids that the magma can drain into. The "10 miles" figure puts this shift beneath the earth's crust. If there are voids in the mantle, why aren't these shifts more frequent? How did the voids form? It would have made the article much more useful if this had been mentioned.
yeah, that is why I used "or synonyms of them"
My point was that explicit terms are more easily understood than metaphors. Especially by those whose original language is other than English.
I can't speak for Washington State, but in British Columbia it is against the law to use a handheld device while stopped at a traffic light (or in a traffic jam).
A large number of tickets are given out to drivers using their devices while at stop lights.
They have a neat way of spotting them. Look for someone waving an advertising sign that has no company name on it. Drivers universally ignore such people, and when the pull up at the light, the sign guy radios the cop halfway down the next block to pull them over.
People follow far too closely.
From the summary:
"Any task performed while driving should be able to be performed in under two seconds to avoid becoming a distraction"
The rule of thumb for vehicle separation on highways is to leave two seconds between you and the vehicle ahead. The next time you are on a busy highway, Note how few drivers actually leave that much space. And when you do leave such a gap some jockey cuts right in.
The two misbehaviours taken together are leaving a lot of wreckage around.

The actual article uses acetaminophen or paracetamol in its discussion. It uses the brand name only in the sentence: "Acetaminophen, the active ingredient in Tylenol, is the most popular painkiller in the USA."
The article says: "A substantial body of functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) research suggests that observing others experiencing pain (e.g. observing a person receiving a hot probe placed on the hand), activates brain regions that are also activated during one’s own experience of pain..."
I think most of us have experienced the "wince reaction" when we someone else take a hit. My kids called this "sympathy pain" when they were little.
What interests me about this study is I wonder what effect acetaminophen would have on me, since it has no apparent effect on pain. I've spoken with others who also indicate acetaminophen is useless against pain.
The "sympathy pain" phenomenon leads to other questions...
If a painkiller can block it, and if the observation of a painful event triggers a measurable reaction in the subject's brain, are endorphins released? If endorphins are released can this help explain why games like ice hockey and American football are so popular?
The worst thing we could ever do is to try to modify climate on a global scale.
There are natural forces at work that tend toward equilibrium, and any attempt to "adjust" things will result in a different equilibrium. We may like that one even less that we like the current outlook with no way to revert back.
No irreversible change should be attempted.
That being said, we definitely need to stop fouling the only nest we have.
The most sensible approach to climate change is to do what humans have done since they appeared on the planet -- adapt. We're good at that.
Peace...

It ain't what you got, it's what you do with it that counts.
I was surprised to find that Canada pays less than the US overall.
And for that Canada has a rudimentary universal health care system, and the US has what?
Crumbling infrastructure and an overpriced military that funnels money into the military's suppliers and from there to the executives of those suppliers.
Golf is the only activity that absolutely must have natural light.
The movers and shakers of this (first) world like to play golf, and hate getting up early in the morning
DST might make a difference in the southern US, but it really makes no difference much north of 46 degrees latitude, since in mid summer the sun is up at bedtime, and it's up again before we rise.
Professionalism is some mixture of attitude and effort.
If a programmer has a willing attitude, and puts in a good effort, the competence will come with time.
No matter how competent, a programmer whose attitude is lacking, or whose effort is lacking will hinder whatever project they're a part of.
As for building competence, I really liked "Code Complete"

Master and Slave are metaphors for the controller and the controlled.
So use those, or synonyms of them.

... the writers should be demanding producers and buyers start greenlighting original works. .
I suspect that a large part of the problem is that worthy original works are very, very few.
In order to keep the theatres filled, something has to be written -- hence the remakes, reboots, prequels, sequels etc.
<sigh>
Perhaps if there was something worth watching...
Something other than re-hashed comic books perhaps...
