A paper about friction! And the webpage of the USGS, because there has been a major earthquake in Chile!

How major is major? I knew there was an earthquake, my Facebook notifications this morning included "[friend in Chile] has been marked safe in the Chile Earthquake", but—I should go an actual news site, shouldn't I.

Maybe following the news would be a good idea ;) I found that it can literally open a whole new world :)

A major earthquake as in: 8.3 Mw (which is quite big, although not yet classified as a great earthquake (threshold=8.5Mw) and a tsunami.

Yeah, I went to theguardian.com. I deliberately don't usually read news sites, it's generally sad-making, but some things I shouldn't be learning about from happening to read a comment on Dreamwidth.

Research and research-relevant current events! Well done. :)
