Rock Friction Research Reframes Earthquake Mechanics

Scientists are studying how rock bonds break to understand earthquakes better. This new research affects how we predict and prepare for seismic events.

New research shows that the breaking of bonds between rocks, not just rubbing, is key to how earthquakes start. This is a new way to look at fault lines.

William Jay, a #Congregationalist minister in England, cuts straight to the point: piety without benevolence is hypocrisy. Some chase the glow of spiritual devotion by trimming away the inconvenience of time spent loving others. But faith that avoids mercy isn’t refined—it’s hollow. How will you hold devotion and active love together?

The #Volcanic Isles . A brief history of volcanism across The British Isles.

Quite pleased with how this one turned out.

Location of volcanoes taken from wikipedia (spotted a mistake and got to make an edit to wikipedia in the process); fault lines from the #BGS 625k bedrock dataset and the IE GSI 500k Bedrock Geology for Ireland. Font: League-Spartan by the League of Moveable Type.

#requests, #pandas and #geopandas for scraping and wrangling.#scipy for making the proximity surface (that's the colour scheme), #matplotlib for plotting. With all labeling done manually in #inkscape.

EDIT: I've been kindly and helpfully informed that (a) Ben Nevis' age is closer to 399 Ma; (b) some are missing; (c) others perhaps shouldn't be there; (d) it's complicated. So, maybe don't use this map to make any strategic decisions.

This is SHOCKING SHIT! At the 16.58 min mark, this #documentary addresses race norming, factoring in the non-existent myth of '#race' when diagnosing players with #cognitiveimpairment who are also racialised as 'black'
