We have Armstrong, since it is also the only real internet company in the area what we can get since they won't let Verizon run their lines on the poles... I hate them so much.
I friend of mine posted this link and I just felt that I had to repost it because it is so easy for most people to forget that among the thousands that are dead and missing there are also a large amount of animals who have fallen victim to this disaster as well. I am usually pretty good about staying calm when reading and watching reports about disasters like this... but that report finally made me tear up. Swagbucks, a search engine website thing that I use, is raising money for a relief fund and I donated to that with what little I could. There is also the site Tofugu.com (whose owner wrote his own textbook for learning Japanese and posts fun videos) who has said that he will be donating 110% of all proceeds from sales on his site from now until he runs out of money to do it. Locally I have not seen much in the way of people raising money or doing much to help, but I would hope that I will see more in the days to come. |

I'm donating to the Red Cross the only and right way
Yes, I am going to be shaving my head. And for every member of the SA forums who shave their heads that guy has to donate $25 extra bucks. And for the sake of me donating. I will be donating money to the Red Cross as well! Update from the user who said he would donate $50 to every Goon who shaves his head. His name is "Baggins" Goons have raised over $30,000 dollars! Holy cow! Pictures and posts to come shortly! E- Just scheduled to donate blood on Monday as well! E2: Pictures! (Last edited by Bitmap on 03-18-11 10:57 PM) |

Update on the Radiation Problems
Also, in case it had not been mentioned elsewhere, they bumped the quake up to a 9.0. Casualties are now estimated at 27,500 dead or missing. Bitmap, good work. |

A 7.1 hit Japan today. Tsunami warning was issued and the reactor is apparently fine.
Did Russia repeatedly curse Japan 18 years ago or something? |

I heard about that, sheesh no break?... hopefully people were more prepared for this one or it didn't hit a bad area or something? | |||

Originally posted by Rogue It is a possibility. Maybe China and Korea joined in to make some kind of coven? |

yeah this caused the Magical Puella Magi Madoka to be cancelled until further notice. What it looks like due to the earthquake... Something about one of the scenes having a huge flood hitting the Tokyo area so they cancelled it. From what it looks like that's the only anime I have scene canceled due to the quake.
It was a bit sad to see the comments on all of the people encoding the subbing to some of the fansubs out there. I will give you an example but please understand they didn't know that the earthquake was as bad as they thought it was.
guys guys guys.... More tact please. (Last edited by Sorcha Rohan on 04-07-11 11:59 PM) |

I believe so. But they have been carrying on with their karaoke parties when they finished the series anyway. | |||

Fukushima is now at Chernobyl levels of severity.

Well, they do highlight the differences, but it still does not look good. I do hope that they are upgrading the other nuclear plants to better withstand that powerful of a quake now. Honestly, I would plan for higher... 10.0+
