This quake will make headlines. We're overdue.
Here's a 7.1 that made headlines a few hours ago. No devastation though.
Yeah I referred to that one in the OP.
It happened about 3 hours prior to me coming up with this idea that we are overdue.
So I went and googled recent big quakes and found that one.

Doesn't it double in energy or something like that each .1 it increases?
I won't cheat and look it up this time.
That's just what I vaguely remember.
Not exactly. It's a logarithmic scale. See here.

It's a logarithmic scale. A 8.0 packs almost 3 times as much energy as an 7.7. Either one (or a weaker one) in a population center, anywhere, is going to be a big deal.
Going purely by the odds, you have a fair chance. But are you going to claim an ocean spanning tsunami, even if the earthquake itself is not a big deal?

also worth mentioning.....
the bible says sign of the last days is earth quakes in on place after another
so this would imply an escalation towards the end, as it is a sign, as opposed to a common occurrence

I'm under the impression that we are, according to researchers who have looked into the seismological history, not necessarily experiencing an escalation. I'm pretty sure our current levels of activity (during the last decade) are fairly normal and average.
I could be wrong because I'm just going with some vague memories of older threads I've read around these parts.

Well when you put it that way -
I refer you to my OP where I said "this is not an important thread".

Global scale awe-inspiring, or normal?
I think the OP is talking about common sense normal stuff by using math etc. Nothing outside of normal. Which is boring. Sorry to say, but it is what it is!! Yay for normalcy.

Conclusion? Most people hate life. Some think that a Fallout 4 version of life would be better... at least then there might be a reason to live, even if it means growing a few more limbs and taking RAD pills.

My reasons to live:
1) Women!!! (and the kids that pop out afterwards)
2) Coming up with cool ideas to maybe write about one day.
3) To play and have fun exploring.
What helps me survive since I'm not accomplishing any of those 3?
Coffee and Cigarettes and Hope that I'm on the verge of those 3!
