I think you're confusing eruption of an active volcano with eruptions within a timespan of a few years of active volcanoes (plural) including other triggered events.
Of course, just ask people in the Phillipines how safe they feel right now.
It isn't called the Ring of Fire because we like to have beach cookouts, you know.
But we know the Cascade Subduction Zone does rip over the entire chain, and it's done this quite a few times in recorded history, based on temple records in Japan and other areas of Tsunamis and local tree subsidence (ghost forests) and grey zones in the tidal aspects from the deposits.
As I said, you can't do anything about it, but it will happen and we're in the middle of the highest probability zone right now.
If someone has the resources to shift the orbit of an asteroid sufficiently to cause an impact, there are tons of other things they could be spending those resources on that would be much more destructive, and much more immediate.
Not really. Local flora and fauna would kill off a zombie epidemic fairly quickly, if live humans weren't around. Just insects alone would have a field day, and in 72 hours would grow fast enough to deal with it.
The hardest part is spending 6 to 8 weeks developing systems that someone decided were urgent and good to go, only to have them say "burn all the documentation we're redoing this from scratch".
When the issues were ones I pointed out were going to be there before this whole thing started.
After a while though, my Army days come back, and I remember nobody's shooting at me, so it's all good.
If you have a high risk of Parkinson's, the best advice is to avoid high impact sports (football, soccer, stuff where your head gets hit), explosions (military), and living in cities where they spray for bugs in apartments or rural areas where pesticides are frequent.
I should point out that Apolipoprotein E genetic assessments are fairly tricky, and we find the ones on most chips are close to useless, so we do them in our own genetics lab at the UW ADRC at the VA center.
Having two copies of the risk allele and being female do increase your chances, but the best advice is to avoid stress so throw away the report.
Eat a varied diet, get mild to moderate exercise, and use your brain.
But avoid stress and get enough sleep (clears out toxins in your brain, and the failure of the clearance mechanism is linked).
Probably die from slipping in the bathtub - you're at far more risk of a heart attack than AD, quite frankly. The above advice works for that too, with the addition of eating red meat less often and having some fish in your diet.
Look - news flash - you're going to die at some point. That's a given.
One of the key problems is that doing the replicative experiments and publishing that data, as well as any divergence from the initial data of the first study by another author, is hard to get published in peer-reviewed scientific journals, as are replicative studies where the results do not concur with the original study.
It's also hard to get funding for this.
Fix that and you fix the observed problems, which mostly crop up in certain scientific cultures that tend not to encourage juniors from challenging senior scientists. Cases in point: Asian cultures for the most part, particularly South Korea and China, where we find a lot of problems with such scientific studies.
(this is my personal observation and has not been peer reviewed nor scientifically tested)
Given the terrain, maybe when people meet it the Yeti bear rears up and roars... which does look a lot like the classic Yeti image. Just add some longer white hair and bazinga!

The Earth really doesn't need us.
You're projecting again. The doctor called, he wants his thermometer back.
Most of the earth is molten, actually, and most of the rest is covered with water.
Now, if I were talking with a whale, you might have an argument, but I kind of doubt that.
Capitalism relies on people trying to make the best decision for themselves they can, based on what information they have.
How is trying to control the information people receive about your product anything but a logical and necessary outcome of capitalism?
Incorrect. Read all of Adam Smith's 7 books.
Capitalism is based on the concept that all market participants, including consumers have perfect information on all aspects of all trades.
Ignoring Do Not Track provides an advantage to only one market participant.
This is not Capitalism, it is Mercantalism, and Adam Smith was opposed to it.

Thank you, Serf! ... oh, wait, I meant "Citizen".
Wrong.

I'm using credit cards and default swaps from people in the target zone.
I figure they'll never collect anyway.
The probability on any day is close to zero.

Yes, but shifting an asteroid is way more fun.
Not really. Local flora and fauna would kill off a zombie epidemic fairly quickly, if live humans weren't around. Just insects alone would have a field day, and in 72 hours would grow fast enough to deal with it.

A far greater risk is the high probability that the Pacific Rim will unzip from BC down to CA sometime in this decade.
That means tsunamis and 9.0 quakes and volcanoes like Rainier going.
But ... there's not a single thing you can do about that, so stop wasting time worrying about it.

That's useful advice.
Living in fear won't change anything.

But the advice is still good.

If you tell me that there's going to be no asteroid, then I'll just go up and make one hit the Earth, just to spite you.
You'll know it by the blinky LED lights I'll have on it that will spell out "2032 suckers!" in bright red and green lights.
Are the numbers from this article just pulled out of a hat?
But it was the very best kind of hat ...
(apologies to a certain British mathematician)

Maybe they're using metallic or plastic piers?
We used to run S on our GRID computers to figure out proper pier placement, after a discussion with our peers.
We tend to use R, C, some C++, and a lot of Perl.
But then, we do real science.
One illegal unconstitutional agency to rule them all and in the darkness blind them.
So, water is not addictive?
If you give a meme cat a GIF, it will keep repeating the same motions in the animated GIF.
More than it will climb Mount Everest.
WARNING: Meme cats are addicted to the Internet and hate mountain climbing!
Good point - maybe the survey was done in the Deep South.
Just goes to show how little Americans understand how the Net works.
Fair is fair.
We know David Cameron lied to the House of Commons.
That is a crime.
Jail is the only solution.
