Well unless the island starts sinking or shit like that. I think any church or synagogue will grant an exception for that sort of thing. “Stay indoors and quietly pray, unless the house starts filling with lava. At which point you may run and pray much faster and louder”. If it’s not in your holy book of choice, it damn well should be.

I just meant wait until tomorrow to expect an email response.
 
Geez...angrier then ever


no wonder volcano's have been worshipped as gods for thousands of years. Imagine rationalizing something like this without knowing about geology. Its terrifying. Better to throw babies in it and hope it stops.

Our own god in the abrhamic religon sounds like a volcano even Poetic metaphors throughout the Bible describe Yahweh as a fiery deity who makes the mountains smoke (Psalms 144:5) and melts them down (Isaiah 63:19b), just like smelters melt down ore to obtain copper and other metals, the researcher notes. In fact, in Psalm 18:18 Yahweh is depicted as anthropomorphized furnace: “smoke rose from his nostrils; consuming fire came from his mouth, burning coals blazed out of it.”

Of course that doesn't mean god is a volcano. But it makes you wonder how much volcano's have influenced modern society and religion and by proxy our traditions.

Sorry i got off topic. I have been watching the stream and tried to put myself in a primitive man's shoe's watching this

Its also worth noting this is officially the longest eruption on La Palma in recorded history. The 1971 and 1949 eruptions last only a few weeks and were much smaller by comparison.




Wonder how long this goes on?

4.3 earthquake, 30 km down.
I was not eating cheese but I was about to get some ice cream.

But was it cheesecake flavor? Though I figure it probably only works when an eruption is pending, not just for earthquakes.

I wonder if these earthquakes are magma chambers & tubes collapsing as they empty, not new ones being created.

The ice cream was chocolate, and I put a couple maraschino cherries on it to be all fancy like.

I just finished eating an apple, and the third from last bite tasted like onion for no discernible reason. Wonder what that means?

We need to arrange an emergency airdrop of a virgin into the Volcano. Does Chris still count as a Virgin if the only thing he's fucked is his own Mother?
 
It amazes me how fast a thread about a volcano can be transformed into a thread about cheese. Manchego is the best cheese. Fight me.

Chris paid to fuck a whore a couple of times so I’m afraid it won’t be a valid sacrifice. Maybe Amberlynn? Isn’t a virgin either but she could plug the volcano cone.

The spokeswoman for the Canary Islands Volcanic Emergency Plan (PEVOLCA) said yesterday that there is no scientific data indicating the end of the eruption in a short term. She has insisted that the intensity changes are very common, and deformations are still being registered in the ground, like the 9 centimeter near the town of Jedey. (Source)

There are 2,581 buildings destroyed and 133 at risk.
The highest earthquake of the late hours was a 4.5 registered 36km deep at 20:40h. (Source)

Not just any cheese, but volcano cheese.
I really do wonder if the local stuff tastes different now, probably depending on which side of the island the goats live.
 
Sunday Bushcraft Bear. Most interesting is more reports of another 10cm of uplift in the past few days. Yeah this Bitch ain't going anywhere anytime soon. She's still filling her tanks.

But...but...but that's precisely the wrong thing to do, even with a fairly mild Strombolian eruption. The lava's gotta go somewhere. It'll just make a new path with more or less violence depending on how much pressure builds up before something fails.

And to contribute further to thread derailment, this is exactly why the 'solution' to the volcano problem in Jar Jar Abrams' incompetent mockery of Wrath of Khan was somehow even dumber than the galaxy(?) consuming black hole and its MacGuffin solution from his first shitty iTrek. "If the volcano goes off, it'll cause a mass extinction event! Quick, flash-freeze the molten rock and plug it! Plugs solve everything! Just ignore Krakatoa, and Mt. St. Helens, and Yellowstone, and that caldera with Wizard's Island in it, back on Earth!" No, ya dumb fucks, you just made it worse.
