    - Here is a list of 8+ earthquakes. -- (link) - David Apr 1, 17:16 4
      - fwiw that's the empty part of Chile. there have been a few large earthquakes around there in recent years that haven't done too much damage. -- nm - mafic Apr 1, 17:59 2
        
        Yes, the death tolls are included on that page. - David Apr 1, 18:02 1
        
        yeah, but there was a 7.8 in 2005 that had 11, and a 7.7 nearby in 2007 that had 1 or 2 depending on who you listen to. - mafic Apr 1, 18:09
      - Hmm, there seem to be a few fatalities in that list - but mostly located on the other side of the pacific rim -- nm - Beryllium Apr 1, 17:25

What's easier - losing five pounds, or buying a new belt? -- nm - Beryllium Apr 1, 16:58 12
- ALSO, if buying a belt, get it for the next size up. IE if you wear 36 pants, get a 38 belt -- nm - peglegpete Apr 1, 17:38

  - well, losing five pounds is cheaper. But buying a new belt might be faster (except for my own issues with selecting things and making decisions) -- nm - Beryllium Apr 1, 17:00 6
    - wrong....losing weight implies eating better and believe me, junk food is cheaper than good food -- nm - zeitgeist Apr 1, 17:02 5
      - Then there's the added health costs down the line for the junk food. -- nm - the liioulu with Apr 1, 17:13
      - eating better and being less sedentary, both of which are easier in spring/summer -- nm - Beryllium Apr 1, 17:12 3
