CNN reports another major earthquake in Nepal:
This was another major earthquake, the kind where you run for your life, where you seek any open area so nothing falls on your head and you don't get trapped under the rubble.
This is on top of the recent magnitude 7.8 quake there.
The Washington Post reports more than 50 dead:
NEW DELHI — A major earthquake rocked Nepal on Tuesday, killing more than 50 people, collapsing homes and buildings and triggering a panicked rush into the streets less than three weeks after the country’s most devastating quake in decades. The temblor, with a preliminary magnitude of 7.3, was the largest jolt in the Himalayan nation since the April 25 earthquake that claimed more than 8,000 lives and left more than half a million homes flattened or damaged. The latest quake struck near the Chinese border not far from the base camp at Mount Everest. The camp was engulfed by an avalanche during last month’s earthquake that left 20 climbers dead. Tremors were felt in major cities around the region Tuesday — as far as 600 miles to the east in New Delhi.

I thought this [bbc.com] was pretty interesting. It looks like the big mountains have dropped on the order of a meter, and the Kathmandu has risen by a similar amount.

That would be the error message that SN gives you when you don't enter a subject for a new post.
Some people who can't be bothered imagining a real one copy/paste it as a subject instead.

It means that anom can't filter out uncaring irrelevant thoughts that would otherwise interesting were it not for the immense human suffering

I do care, and I've done something about it too [soylentnews.org]. That doesn't preclude me from finding the geology interesting.

Not to mention that understanding the geology and tectonic plate dynamics could prevent or at least mitigate future human suffering... Silly AC. Lots of those about recently.

It means approximately: "I don't understand the point of a subject line, and because I don't understand the point, there can't be a point, but Slashcode/Rehash won't let me post without one, so instead of a meaningful subject for my post I just put there a place holder intended to make a point about how pointless I consider that restriction to be."

I can't tell if that is fair or foul... We're gonna need to go to the tape!
