A 7.8 quake is about 2x the size of a 7.5 quake. Not an order of magnitude difference, but twice as strong in amplitude and closer to 3x as strong in terms of energy release.

You're doing the EXACT same thing as the other guy. And for what? .001 dose of dopamine when you get that "I'm better than you" feeling? Get a grip bro
