#3What if earthquakes could not only be predicted, but manually triggered? Imagine the warfare implications.

Yes, there is such a thing as an earthquake bomb

It's much easier to cause something than to predict when it will happen naturally. As Alan Kay famously said, "The best way to predict the future is to invent it."

#7Tension rods, logical idea, never seen before.. and ugly like hell, or do you hide them?
All I find quickly is about tension rods for curtains. How common are they? Pluses no need to drill and would work for freestanding, more over just securing with screws to wall?

Fracking does this on a small scale. I had an excellent geology professor, Donald Prothero, who argued manually triggering earthquakes could be a much better idea in high tension areas than waiting for them to happen organically, as we could prepare, and the triggered earthquakes wouldn’t be as bad as waiting for them to happen. But the paperwork would be a nightmare(:

Another issue is that an earthquake in one location can trigger an earthquake in another.
