with that? Well, we don't have a control group unless you look at kids who are incredibly impoverished or let's say Quakers who don't believe in technology. And with both those groups, there's a hundred other important differences. So, you can't just say, "Oh, look, I'm comparing to this kid who grew up
I sold it to Quaker. "Quaker," "Maker--" kind of was a good play there. Ah, OK. I did register maker-oates.com as a potential backup.
But that wasn’t all. The quake triggered tsunamis that struck Hawai’i and Japan. All told, the event left thousands dead or houseless.
It was eventually recorded as a 6.2 on the moment-magnitude scale. The quake brought 20,000 buildings crashing to the ground— killing over 300 people, injuring 1,500, and leaving 65,000 houseless. It left a lot of people asking, “Was this damage preventable?” For weeks before the quake , the people of L’Aquila felt smaller tremors in the city.
Gravity does the work. Two Quakers from Palo Alto, Eric and Kaki, went in for two years to teach biointensive.
Accessible to women, yes. a quaker. And she was a member of the Labor Party, and she invited me along to meetings. And years later, she contacted me when I was
that you wouldn't even feel. The resulting quake destroyed thousands of homes along with most major roads and railways leading into the city.
obviously love the more MMO world, rich, exploratory kinda game. So it's fascinating. But yeah, there is ... On the technology stack that brought something like Quake or Wolfenstein 3D to life, there's a threshold which you pass of realism where you can immerse yourself into that world. I had the same exact experience with, uh, Wolfenstein 2D taking a step to 3D, and it was like
fov which is a Batum I think it's either field of view or field of vision um I'm an old Quake player and back when used to play Quake your default was 90° right you can see 90° FR of this 90° cone but you can open up your file and set it to
So I really did want that name. I sold it to Quaker. "Quaker," "Maker--" kind of was a good play there.
But during the Great Depression, a lot of these big hotels were vacant. And some of the Quaker teachers who were playing Monopoly were staying in these now-vacant hotels. So they incorporate those into the game.
Which is very sustainable, and in fact, in a city like San Francisco, where I live, would be fantastic because we're constantly in danger of quakes weakening infrastructure because of cracks, and things like that. You can imagine in the future-- I talked to this architect in New York who works a lot with synthetic biologists who
And a guy named Henry Greenland opens a tavern there at the arrow so people going back and forth on that trail can stop and get a beer and change their horses or spend the night. And then the Quakers led by William Penn, theyíre trying to get as far away from New York and Philadelphia is possible. So they also settle there, and they build a Quaker meeting house.
sure all of these women one by one and eventually settled upon one of them uh called Dorothy Mo who was the daughter of a Quaker from Devon in Southwest England and she was an expert or doing a PhD on the mechanics of muscles these kind of muscles in your arm and he rather lamely said as I do eggs and you
That's right not have to work or go to school. Adults you'll remember doom and quake and games like that and these strategy games and they took up a lot of my time.
community was divided into ... There were two castes of players. The low ping bastards, the LPBs- ... and then the rest of us, you know. And I remember rolling into Quake matches, you know, on a dial-up modem with a 300 ping connection, and I thought it was the greatest thing ever. Um, and just, just connecting with people. Like
You break the stick, you put it down, and you will respawn exactly where that insert was located. I loved the physics in "Quake 3." But I kind of wanted to run next to a missile sometimes.
Sometimes I could feel my poor Peugeot quake .
Scary stuff. Some earthquakes are strong enough to be deadly. But of the roughly one million detectable quakes that shake our planet every year, most are too mild to even rattle even a teacup. So, can we predict the bad ones?
When you think about the Quakers who risked their families, their lives, their livelihoods to help people go North, or the Mexicans,
I don't want to work at Quaker Oats.
Bill Smithburg was the CEO of Quaker Oats.
And one group that really embraces it are the Quakers of Atlantic City. This is a picture of a Quaker Monopoly night, which was very common at the time. And they make the board like Atlantic City, because that's where they live.
They also originality in Monopoly, in The Landlord's Game, there's a lot more auctioning with the game. So the noise of that bothers the Quakers. Silence is a tenet of their faith.
firm but quiet faith like Quakers.
This breaks my heart coming from Quaker Philadelphia, where consensus is king or queen, she found that at the fast movers, they were ready to
I detest the tectonic plates for their indifferent quake .
So seeing that the documentary really put into perspective how his Quaker upbringing really helped him come to terms with some of the decisions
Bayard's resistance was based on nonviolence and on his Quaker upbringing.
And I remember I was in an interview with Quaker Oats, and they were like, why do you want to work at Quaker Oats?
There were Philly games. And one group that really embraces it are the Quakers of Atlantic City. This is a picture of a Quaker Monopoly night, which was very common at the time.
So they incorporate those into the game. So one of players who plays the Atlantic City Quaker version of the game is Charles Todd. And this is a copy of the Charles Todd board.
So they need tokens. Now, when the Quakers were playing and early folk players, they used earrings, buttons, whatever was around. But Parker Brothers calls on Daoust Manufacturing, which was this Chicago-based company that made Crackerjack prizes.
So this is Dan Layman's Finance Game. Dan Layman had also played the game as a Quaker game. You can see that it's very similar with Community Chest, a lot of the properties.
And it will pick up-- they call them ice quakes , when the glacier lurches forward or when a calving event happens-- the scientists can tell how violent the shaking was, the
So they also settle there, and they build a Quaker meeting house. So you have this tavern and you have the Quaker meeting house. And the tavern became Princeton University and the Quaker meeting house that land became the Institute for Advanced Study.
So you have this tavern and you have the Quaker meeting house. And the tavern became Princeton University and the Quaker meeting house that land became the Institute for Advanced Study. It only changed hands twice, from the Penn family to the Olden family to the Institute.
At about 2,500 km long, the Main Himalayan Thrust is the biggest of its kind, and it’s caused some serious damage in the past. In 2015, a 7.8-magnitude quake occurred on this fault in Kathmandu, Nepal, killing nine thousand people and injuring many more. So. Megathrust faults. They also crop up in subduction zones— where one tectonic plate dives beneath another.
Indeed. Were you surprised by the quake that happened around the emergence of this movement in many?
And that's the ,, the national warning quake alert.
Buildings are “decoupled” from their foundations so that the movement of the ground has little effect on them. The buildings are built on these massive rubber bearings that slide back and forth during quakes , absorbing the energy and keeping the building— and the people inside— safe. And they even apply earthquake preparedness to their public transit.
Given the documentary and seeing where Bayard Rustin comes from as far as his Quaker upbringing, I think that gives us a lot of context
was like, and I really like Quaker Oats Captain Crunch, but only with crunch berries.
So I spotted this not long ago on the wall of my daughter's hippie Quaker school in Brooklyn.
another entity in a video game and saying, "That's a person on the other side of that." That was magical, like, that that moment happened and that person could be in another room or across town from you. And Quake kind of took it to the next level. Like, that's where everybody knew what they were doing. The systems were more refined. And this Quake community formed with all of these, you know, great websites, mods. The

That’s because magnitude is related to the area of the fault— or fracture in the earth’s crust— that breaks when the earthquake occurs. The bigger the fault’s area, the bigger the quake . Take the infamous San Andreas Fault that runs through most of California.
- Just great. - It came in really handy during the quake .
It's not hard to tell when a building is trying to pretend that it survived the 1908 quake .
because the power plant collapsed, or because we had a horrible quake , or whatever, or all the way up to the fall of the empire,
