Says 10 inches now. Compare that to the Chile quake shifting the axis 8cm.
Is this even a big deal?
It's a lot bigger deal than the Supermoon, brah. 
well i mean, what harm does it do that the axis shifted?

From my understanding - shifting the axial tilt (depending on which way it shifted) will either create more intensely cold winters and hotter summers, or if it shifted in the other direction, more temperate winters and summers.
Perhaps there are other effects but that seems to be the big one to me.

At Least 11 Reactors in Four Nuclear Power Plants Damaged Coolant systems failing
Live Earthquake Updates
Quote:
John Large, independent nuclear safety analyst, tells Al Jazeera that Japanese officials will have to manage a balancing act at the Fukushima nuclear power plant.
He says there is a risk of exposing the public if they try to contain radioactive steam, once vented from the reactor, in the secondary dome - as it may also have been damaged during the earthquake. This means there may be a leak.
However, not venting the steam - as the pressure in the reactor builds - may lead to a much worse danger being posed.
Quote:
More on that "small radioactive leak" from Fukushima nuclear power plant, which was damaged by the earthquake. Thousands of residents in the area have been moved out of harm's way, said Japanese officials.
The plant, where cooling systems were knocked out by the quake, is 240km north of Tokyo.
Pressure building in the plant was set to be released soon, a move that could result in a radiation leak, officials said.
Some 3,000 people who live within a 3km radius of the plant have been evacuated, Kyodo news agency said. Cabinet chief Yukio Edanotol reporters:
It's possible that radioactive material in the reactor vessel could leak outside but the amount is expected to be small and the wind blowing towards the sea will be considered.
Residents are safe, after those within a 3km radius were evacuated, and those within a 10km radius staying indoors - so we want people to be calm.
Prime Minister Naoto Kan will visit the plant later this Saturday morning, and also fly over the quake-hit area, he said.
They have now enlarged the evacuation zone around the nuclear plant, reports say that the radiation levels around it at 1000x above normal.

This is seriously going to hurt the jap girl in school outfit porn industry.
On the bright side, less competition for electronics industry perhaps? Fuck you Sony, making overpriced shit.

In addition to what was already mentioned, I believe this messes up the magnetic poles (and therefore fields) too.

i was wondering, how are the people who work at the nuclear power plants viewed in japan? i know that radiation or the threat of radiation would be taken very seriously over there. But are the people who work in the plants considered brave/cool/ smart or even hated for working around radiation all day or, is it just like any other job?
also some anime suggestions? im gonna trip tonight, something visually cool would be awesome.
