It's just coincidence that the California faults and the New Madrid fault system are both having atypically frequent middling quakes in the same few weeks, isn't it?
Yes it's just a coincidence. It isn't someone testing a new doomsday machine design. Yep, no chance of that.
Shhh, Gud. You're going ot give it all away.
I have a car question -- the Passat I'm renting has the normal automatic PRND234 or whatever, plus a separate thing off to the left that lets you shift gears 1 through 5. What's that called?

I think it's because Hell is getting full and the inmates are rattling their cages. In any event, Satan is to blame.
It's the beginning of the end, baby!

Shift gate? Manual shift gate?
These are all just precursors to the Pacific plate taking a massive quarter turn counterclockwise.
What's that called?
Whatever the maker has trademarked. Manumatic, sportshift, tiptronic, autostick, whatever...
Google shift gate - that's the generic term.
Tiptronic is my favorite trademarked term.
