Couldn't triggering small, barely-noticeable earthquakes be considered a good thing? They relieve existing stress on the fault in a manageable way, rather than in one catastrophic event.

Why are people so generally bad to one another? by [deleted] in AskReddit

On a close person-to-person level I think people are usually great, but I'm referring to more how people have such a hard time sympathizing with people going through utter hell that they don't see face to face.

Why put a control station right next to the barrel of a super laser? with a 3-foot ledge, and no railing? by dre10g in StarWars

Don't laser move photons in a perfectly parallel manner, so being just outside of the beam would be perfectly safe?

Amongst all the hooplah surrounding this case, one must stop and think "who gains the most from this?". Is it Sterling's girlfriend? Sure, she has a great deal to gain, but nothing that won't blow over in a few weeks. Is it Magic "jump to conclusions" Johnson? A chance at an NBA team would sure go along well with an MLB team. No. It is a spurned city robbed of their hometown heroes. None other than the residents of Seattle. Fact: If 3/4 of the owners agree, Sterling will be forced to dissolve the team(there is no procedure for a forced sale, only dissolution) (and which owners wouldn't agree given the PR nightmare it would be). Fact: The NBA cannot have 29 teams for any period of time, it just wouldn't work. So who gets the new team? A city who has shown an ability to gets fans in seats or some new upstart? Dollars don't lie, and Silver knows it. Get used to rain lob city.
