I didn't visit Ali Shan yet 😦

Taiwan can't break now 😦

And I also wanted to go to Kenting one more time 😦

Don't break Taiwan!

alright while we wait for the earthquake report let me guess the magnitude

5.2

Are you in Taiwan?

yeah. Taiwan ain't breaking anytime soon lol

where in Taiwan are you?

Hsinchu now

CWB's website is getting hammered, seems like

but living on the 13th floor doesn't help at all

mag 5.7, it says

I was chatting with my gf's sister in Tainan and she felt it apparently

5.7 holy shit

so annoying. all the bigger earthquakes happen at midnight

http://www.cwb.gov.tw/index.htm is not loading for me anymore

give it a minute or two. im guessing everybody is refreshing that page right now

and I figured out a way to roughly estimate when the next 4.5 mag or higher earthquake will happen

after every 7~9 medium (3.5 ~4 ish) earthquake, there will be a significantly stronger one

after 40 mins passed after a 4.5 or larger earthquake without any smaller earthquakes, there will be another larger one

I know that a bunch of Italians are renting a lot of computing power in Lugano's super computing centre in an attempt to predict seismic activity

you should tell them your find 😄

Damn it where are the cali quakes

My find is based on 8 hours of data. its hardly reliable <:thenk:329322130804047872>

it loaded for me a few minutes ago

I went to a presentation of them

sick stuff they're doing

earth quakes are a huge energy source

imagine if we could absorb that

with your qt little island shaking like that, if we could absorb the energy, you could power your night markets for years

I think it's a super exciting field

and yet we know so little about it

nice pun, i saw that^

what pun?

`Super exciting field`

"field"

oh
