is anyone watching Gold Rush Alaska?...spoilers - peglegpete Jan 14, 16:40
Alaska is not an earthquake state? Hawaii? Your list = Fail - Bacon Jan 14, 16:36 40
- New Madrid fault. I should have specified "for this earthquake scenario that I am always talking about". Also, you're fucked. - loosilu Jan 14, 16:37 39
  - Yep. It hasn't let off energy in so long that when it does..... - the liioulu with those hershey kiss flag things Jan 14, 16:45 38
    - that's... not entirely accurate. just because it hasn't had an earthquake in a while doesn't mean it's somehow overdue, or that the next one will be - mafic Jan 14, 16:51 25
      - The plates build up pressure over time. -- nm - Bacon Jan 14, 16:54 1
        
        they can, but there's nothing to say the release will be at that fault,, in that area, or even anything more than gradual and unnoticable if it is. -- nm - mafic Jan 14, 17:10
      - this is a lie! it's like a slot machine. It's due! -- nm - Beryllium Jan 14, 16:53
      - It's not over due because it hasn't let of energy. It's overdue because it's off schedule. - the liioulu with those hershey kiss flag things Jan 14, 16:53 21
        
        I know. it's not like old faithful, you can't say that just because there hasn't been an earthquake in x years you're due for one. -- nm - mafic Jan 14, 16:59 7
        
        More like centuries. Or was it millenia? -- nm - the liioulu with those hershey kiss flag things Jan 14, 17:01
        
        You can increase the odds of one happening -- nm - Bacon Jan 14, 17:00 5
        
        but saying you're due or overdue is misinterpreting the statistics. -- nm - mafic Jan 14, 17:05
        
        you guys do realize you're arguing with a geologist, right? -- nm - loosilu Jan 14, 17:05 3
        
        I am not geologist. ;) -- nm - the liioulu with those hershey kiss flag things Jan 14, 17:06 2
        
        Oohhh, mafic is a geologist? -- nm - the liioulu with those hershey kiss flag things Jan 14, 17:16 1
        
        yep, look up what "mafic" means. -- nm - loosilu Jan 14, 17:17
        
        Fault lines don't have "schedules". They are constantly letting off energy in miniscule EQs that we never feel. - musubi Jan 14, 16:56 12
        
        but they get stuck -- nm - Bacon Jan 14, 16:59
        
        The Madrid Fault is related to the Caldera. It's off schedule. -- nm - the liioulu with those hershey kiss flag things Jan 14, 16:59 9
        
        That's not how it works, but hey, if that makes you feel better, knock yourself out. (nm) - musubi Jan 14, 17:06 6
        
        By about 40,000 years. - the liioulu with those hershey kiss flag things Jan 14, 17:10 5
        
        again, not how these things work. we're not overdue because the supervolcano is taking longer than last time. it's just taking longer. -- nm - mafic Jan 14, 17:12 4
        
        Either way it doesn't change that if goes, the fault or Caldera, it could be at a very high level. - the liioulu with those hershey kiss flag things Jan 14, 17:19
        
        Supervolcano? -- nm - the liioulu with those hershey kiss flag things Jan 14, 17:14 2
        
        I figured that's what you meant when you started talking about a caldera, but the point still stands. - mafic Jan 14, 17:17 1
        
        It also doesn't mean they aren't either. - the liioulu with those hershey kiss flag things Jan 14, 17:23
        
        is that the one in the midwest? -- nm - zeitgeist Jan 14, 17:01 1
        
        Madrid is. -- nm - the liioulu with those hershey kiss flag things Jan 14, 17:05
        
        but what this board presupposes is.... what if they did? -- nm - TFox Jan 14, 16:58
    - Yep, the last known Cascadia quake was in 1700. It's capable of produce a quake of 9.0 or higher. -- nm - loosilu Jan 14, 16:47 11
      - The Yellowstone Super Volcano will kill us first -- nm - Bacon Jan 14, 16:47 10
        
        I think they're related. -- nm - the liioulu with those hershey kiss flag things Jan 14, 16:48
        
        Don't forget the Megatsunami. -- nm - loosilu Jan 14, 16:48 8
        
        I am 70 miles from the coast. I should be safe from that. -- nm - Bacon Jan 14, 16:49 7
        
        How high above sea level are you? -- nm - the liioulu with those hershey kiss flag things Jan 14, 16:50 2
        
        80 feet. I guess if it traveled up the Columbia River somehow I could be affected. - Bacon Jan 14, 16:52 1
        
        There's only one non-volcanic mountain in the range. - the liioulu with those hershey kiss flag things Jan 14, 16:54
        
        then St Helens is going to get you. -- nm - loosilu Jan 14, 16:50 3
        
        I am 50 miles from that. -- nm - Bacon Jan 14, 16:50 2
        
        fine, then I'm back to the Cascadia fault, and you can't talk your way out of that. -- nm - loosilu Jan 14, 16:51 1
        
        That would get me. I do have Earthquake insurance for that reason -- nm - Bacon Jan 14, 16:53
So, apparently....becuase there are billions of asian rice eaters, I should get a rice cooker, fine - Will Hunting Jan 14, 16:36 51
- KELLY!! for those really late, please add a rice cooker to the wedding gift registry :) -- nm - peglegpete Jan 14, 16:55 1
  - Yeah, that would be one of those items that would never get taken out of the box. - kelly Jan 14, 17:13
- a smoker should be higher up on the list. think of all the ribs, pulled pork & other foods you eat it makes :) -- nm - peglegpete Jan 14, 16:42
- And after that, get a cornballer. -- nm - Dano Jan 14, 16:41 2
  - Oh yeah, he'll just love the grease burns on his arms. -- nm - kelly Jan 14, 17:11
  - Only after I get my melon baller. -- nm - Will Hunting Jan 14, 16:43
- no, simply that the appliance isn't pointless because rice is a common part of every meal of a large subset of the population. -- nm - mafic Jan 14, 16:40 1
  - not one person said that rice cookers are pointless. just that we do not personally need one. -- nm - loosilu Jan 14, 16:41
- .... -- (link) - the liioulu with those hershey kiss flag things Jan 14, 16:38
- yeah, that made no sense to me on B2 ... :) -- nm - Beryllium Jan 14, 16:38
- do you eat it as part of most meals? - zork Jan 14, 16:38
- I'm loving how threatened you all are by this very simple and extremely common appliance -- nm - con_carne Jan 14, 16:37 36
  - Rejecting cooking rice in a pot = juvenile is not the same as expressing fear. -- nm - Stephen Jan 14, 16:42
  - If it takes longer to wash than the old fashioned way it's not an improvement. A pot takes a second to wash. - Bacon Jan 14, 16:41 1
    - ? You are looking at the wrong kind of rice cooker. - musubi Jan 14, 16:53
  - Oh...you misunderstand. Threatened indicates fear. When the truest answer is bewildered by why something like this is thought to be more valueable - Will Hunting Jan 14, 16:39 24
    - It was the "juvenile" that mystified me. -- nm - mara Jan 14, 16:50
    - TO be fair, I'm sure most of us here do own an appliance whose sole purpose is to toast bread. do 3 billion - loosilu Jan 14, 16:40 22
      - Mine does bagels too, and POP TARTS! -- nm - Bacon Jan 14, 16:42
      - But then, I don't have another appliance or kitchen element that would do 98% of the job of toasting bread. -- nm - Reagen Jan 14, 16:41 4
        
        the oven does work. -- nm - loosilu Jan 14, 16:42
        
        Exactly, the utility of a toaster hasn't be matched by hot water and a pot. -- nm - Will Hunting Jan 14, 16:42 2
        
        but you can eat bread perfectly well without toasting it. you can't eat rice without cooking it. -- nm - loosilu Jan 14, 16:44 1
        
        Gretchen, stop trying to make "toaster" happen. -- nm - TFox Jan 14, 16:45
      - but what can your toaster do that my oven can't? -- nm - mafic Jan 14, 16:41 15
        
        be thrown into a bathtub to electrocute someone -- nm - peglegpete Jan 14, 16:43 4
        
        HEe -- nm - con_carne Jan 14, 16:45
        
        much like making toast, it'd just take a bit more work. -- nm - mafic Jan 14, 16:44 2
        
        Hair dryers will work. -- nm - the liioulu with those hershey kiss flag things Jan 14, 16:45 1
        
        you mean a shrink wrap gun? :)))) -- nm - peglegpete Jan 14, 16:54
        
        ever tried toasting bread in an oven? It takes a long time and a shitload of energy. -- nm - loosilu Jan 14, 16:42 9
        
        and your odds of burning it are high -- nm - Bacon Jan 14, 16:43 7
        
        the rice cooker is to rice as the toaster is to toast. it's semi-automated, simple, and makes a predictably better product. -- nm - mafic Jan 14, 16:45 6
        
        Yup. - musubi Jan 14, 16:55
        
        and takes much more time to clean. I will keep using the pot until someone invents that thing on Star Trek that makes food -- nm - Bacon Jan 14, 16:47 4
        
        I always burn rice in a pot, so that's harder to clean. If I ate rice a lot, I would get a rice cooker. - loosilu Jan 14, 16:48 3
        
        and even so, since those ancient disasters, you have learned from Alton Brown how to cook rice :) -- nm - peglegpete Jan 14, 16:56 1
        
        I don't think I've made rice in a decade. -- nm - loosilu Jan 14, 16:59
        
        you people are making my points for me about energy, cleaning, and only buying only if you feel you need -- nm - zork Jan 14, 16:52
        
        And the bread either gets burnt or dry and not toasted. -- nm - the liioulu with those hershey kiss flag things Jan 14, 16:43
  - no one is threatened. -- nm - loosilu Jan 14, 16:38 7
    - speak for yourself. i myself am rather taken aback and shaken up by the prospect of a cooker of rice. -- nm - TFox Jan 14, 16:39 6
      - I'm a bit taken aback by Will's attempt to enslave 3 asians to cook his rice for him. (nm) - musubi Jan 14, 16:58 5
        
        Well, just in case the first one isn't a good cook. -- nm - Will Hunting Jan 14, 17:06 4
        
        Plus, you'll want one to take pictures of the one who is a good cook. - TFox Jan 14, 17:08 3
        
        Human trafficking seems extreme lengths to go to for some rice, but I can't really that logic. - musubi Jan 14, 17:10 1
        
        Can't really *dispute* that logic, that is. (nm) - musubi Jan 14, 17:11
        
        Exactly. -- nm - Will Hunting Jan 14, 17:08
- Jaxsean is a rice eater -- nm - Bacon Jan 14, 16:36 2
  - but he doesn't wash his hands. -- nm - loosilu Jan 14, 16:38
  - *hires him too* -- nm - Will Hunting Jan 14, 16:37
Regain, did she explain why? -- nm - David Jan 14, 16:35 10
- from what I can tell, a handshake is a way for a man to size up a woman. If she accepts your hand, she'll accept... other things. -- nm - Reagen Jan 14, 16:37 9
  - Is this person normally crazy? -- nm - David Jan 14, 16:39 5
    - I would call that a fair assessment. - Reagen Jan 14, 16:41 4
      - Where do children of divorce fall on the vamp spectrum? -- nm - David Jan 14, 16:43 2
        
        Evil incarnate. - the liioulu with those hershey kiss flag things Jan 14, 16:46
        
        forcing someone to pay child support is also evil, so probably at least an imp of some sort. -- nm - Reagen Jan 14, 16:45
      - now this one i can see. -- nm - TFox Jan 14, 16:41
  - At work now, if I shake a woman's hand, I will exclaim, "A-ha!" and then give her a knowing smile. -- nm - TFox Jan 14, 16:38
  - But if she can accept your hand...will accepting your penis really satisfy her? -- nm - Will Hunting Jan 14, 16:38 1
    - she was already sold off into marriage at age 10! -- nm - loosilu Jan 14, 16:39
Most of us are naturally leery of peeking into a Chinese restaurant kitchen, but if you look, you will find most of them use dedicated cookers. -- nm - con_carne Jan 14, 16:34 7
- and most everything else is cooked in woks -- nm - peglegpete Jan 14, 16:36
- I'll keep that in mind for when I open a chinese restaurant. -- nm - loosilu Jan 14, 16:36
- And i'm sure if all of us made as much rice as often as a Chinese restaurant does we probably have one too... -- nm - Stephen Jan 14, 16:35
- And Domino's has an oven especially for baking pizzas, but that doesn't mean I need to buy one. -- nm - TFox Jan 14, 16:35 3
  - They also bake breadsticks in it. - the liioulu with those hershey kiss flag things Jan 14, 16:42
  - But that would be sweet! Am I right? -- nm - Stephen Jan 14, 16:35 1
    - oh hell yes. -- nm - TFox Jan 14, 16:37
An error occurred while processing this get me the fuck out of here request. -- nm - Beaker Jan 14, 16:33
Mine! -- nm - Stephen Jan 14, 16:33 1
- BOOOOOOOMMMM!!!!!!!! -- nm - peglegpete Jan 14, 16:34
