1:43 AM Two millions in 2024 and 12 more in 2025 out of hundreds of billions of Biden's infrastructure plan to fix some of the oldest areas from from about 100 miles of interstate between Olympia and Vancouver, WA. That must be a joke.

Honestely, i believe it needs to be all redone period. That road is dangerous to drive. Unless they want to keep it as a (living) museum, for people to see how well they were doing things 70 years ago. One mile of 4 lane freeway in that area must cost between 4-6 millions.

Almost 4 million for a car.

Not any car, but lieutenant Bullitt's car. From one of the most iconic 11 minutes chase scene in the history of Hollywood. And most of it was real, he was driving with cameras in it. No CGI at that time, uh huh. It is said McQueen was a race driver before he became an actor.

6.4 liter, 320 HP of pure bred Mustang.

Must confess. I am a bit confused by the numerous sometimes conflicting representations of the upper Earth interior, especially volcanos.

Here is one from National Geographic. According to this one, the mantle of the Earth is solid (though "malleable"). However made of rocks. The only liquid part is the outer core. Then were are the convection currents that push the continents around? (I found this image after a search, clicked on it, but can't find it in the page itself).

One thing is sure. "No one has ever been there to see".

The "igneous provinces" which are made of materials that allegedly came out of volcanos are represented as part of the crust (lithosphere), which is made of continuous, one piece slabs that drift around on top of the solid mantle".

No wonder they can't figure earthquakes, with all this mess. But how many professors are paid to teach this mess to students in faculties it and how many grants do they get?

Here's one i just found. It fits my theory of boiling aquifers as origin place of shallow earthquakes. Let's say the aquifer is at boiling point as the materials on top do not allow venting. And then a tiny sudden decrease of pressure triggers an explosive boiling. In Vrancea, Romania, we have boiling aquifers (on top of deeper magma bubbles) that however are venting and do not create shallow earthquakes.
