  • Actually, earthquake magnitude can be projected to negative numbers. It’s well defined but it stops describing earthquakes. For instance, a -3 magnitude earthquake is the energy released by a cat knocking your cell phone off of a nightstand. (see page 290 of this book). Pretty sure the others are also logarithmic scales which are well-defined for any negative number. It just so happens that those negative numbers don’t describe anything we care to describe with those scales.







  • Well, I don’t need it, not really. It’s just I’m finally in a position where I’m not stressed about things like rent and healthcare, and I’m realizing I wanna fuck around with hosting my own websites. Possibly a lemmy instance, I was toying with the idea of developing a P2P social networking protocol that federates with lemmy. But also the idea of building my own websites so I’m not dependent on others for my income, or just making it easier for people to download stuff that I’m the only seeder of.

    Definitely not a need. My rent is paid, my food is healthy, healthcare is cheap. So now I can worry about stuff like this that ultimately doesn’t matter
