AI Thread Summary
Recent seismic activity off the central Oregon coast has been notable, with over 600 earthquakes recorded in just ten days, a significant increase for an area not typically known for such activity. Meanwhile, a small earthquake was reported in Ohio near Cincinnati. The conversation also touches on personal experiences with earthquakes in various locations, dismissing apocalyptic predictions for 2012 as mere coincidence. However, there is a caution against posting in older threads, referred to as necroposting, as it may mislead forum members about current events. New discussions are encouraged for ongoing topics.

That's called coincidence Monty lover, and welcome to PF

But careful with posting. You posted in a two year old thread, the specialists here have a technical term for that: necroposting. The problem is that this way the members, browsing the forums, may get the impression that something is going on in Oregon right now :rolleyes:

Please open a new thread if you want to discuss stalking earthquakes :smile:

Thread 'The Secrets of Prof. Verschure's Rosetta Stones'

(Edit: since the thread title was changed, this first sentence is too cryptic: the original title referred to a Tool song....) Besides being a favorite song by a favorite band, the thread title is a straightforward play on words. This summer, as a present to myself for being promoted, I purchased a collection of thin sections that I believe comprise the research materials of Prof. Rob Verschure, who at the time was faculty in the Geological Institute in Amsterdam. What changed this...

Thread 'Not a sundial - a shadow dial is what I want'

We have little shade but plenty of wind on my property. The upshot of this is that I have to be judicious in how/where I put up shade-creating barriers in various places around my property to maximise shade without unduly large windage. My property is an irregular polygon and not aligned with the cardinal axes, so it is not easy to tell where the shade will be at a given time. For example, I have put up an umbrella next to our pool, but it can only shade the southish-side of the pool, and...
