Only in Slavic countries? In Romania we had written translations. Got to listen to beautiful American, Italian, French, heck even Russian artists directly.

When I was kid made me want to learn how to read faster.

My brain doesn't even notice anymore that I am reading a translation. Now, even if I speak fluent English, I still like the captions on, they add something to me.

Yeah iNaturalist is great and i use it a ton, but it gets tricky when you want to get into the specific nuances of a plant genus. Misidentifications can be pretty common and Eriogonum is notorious for being hard to identify. That's why i chose Calflora because it's mostly botanists who make these observations and it's just a little more trustworthy imo.

Ok, I will admit I misspoke there. Since magnitude 1 quakes are so weak, they actual affect a tiny area, so you won’t actually be on top of the epicenter for that many earthquakes unless you live on a fault line. What I meant was you are in the general area of that many quakes, like within 100-200 km. A distance that you would feel it if there was a major earthquake. Also, I wasn’t talking about earthquakes above 1, but earthquakes that were 1. But it doesn’t even really made as that was just an example.

My point is small earthquakes are way more common than the large ones. I forgot to include my sources for the frequency numbers, so here you go.

For the Turkey numbers, I literally looked at the image from this post and did my best guess. Feel free to count them yourself and let me know what you counted. But I think even at a quick glance, it’s pretty clear that the lower the magnitude was, the more quakes there were, until suddenly it hits 4 and there’s 0 with a magnitude less than 4? No way. That’s just not how earthquakes work. In fact, almost nothing in nature works like that. It’s usually some kind of curve, not exponentially increasing and then suddenly 0.

I'm not pole or even european but I noticed russians (or soviets depending on how old the movies is) used to do, or maybe still do, the same. When someone starts speaking something other than russian another voice starts talking in russian over the original sountrack. Maybe is something normal in some eastern european countries?
