Solar flares are here, everyone unplug your dryer!
Turns out we have exceptionally high solar activity right now, with a category 4 solar flair expected to impact the planet, potentially affecting satellite communications, electronics and power grids.
Of course, if history is any guide the news is absolutely over excited over this, at best those in the northern states may see pretty lights at night. I was particularly amused this afternoon at a CNN weather person recommending you unplug your dryer just to be safe. I mean, is that really the most important appliance in his house? 🤣
Also, kind of off topic, if you have binoculars or a telescope with the right solar filters you can catch a glimpse of the dark spots on the sun associated with this CME. Amazing to imagine that it is about 15-16x wider than the earth.
@immatthewj I stand corrected. Not "skipping on their meds" but overdosing on something hardcore.
On a serious note: I am too scared to know my neighbor's political views, it's stressful enough to know my relatives'. Why would I want to know the wacky cult-affiliations of the members here. What's causing this, solar flares? |
Because i corrected your post without backing off i am unstable ? Why not apologizing to avsjerry ? He is unstable too ? No rational answer to my last post? Where can you point out that I’m lying? People read go... point to me where i am wrong about you ... Explain to me why it is OK to harass people in their private mailbox ? Where is laoman idiot ?

Yes i called you idiots because you attack character of people, be it asvjerry or me or anyone else you will not like .. As i said i reply to unrespectful people with arguments and answer to lies ...

Apocalyptic? Back in the early '70s we had an earthquake so bad that I saw the hallway walls dancing around like the connections between railroad cars. We were among the last areas in the San Fernando Valley to have power restored and it took almost two full weeks. We didn't go around lighting our hair on fire about it and just braved it out. Life returned to normal and the world didn't end, like this thread should. All the best, |
Ouff! You win the point nonoise... Nothing is worse than earthquake ... But as a tender french speaking dude and fragile character 12 hours without electricity at the end of winter was hard...😊 but you beat my harsher experience by far i concede... But as for solar flare we can also invest in infrastructure earthquake protection... But a solar flare big enough will be more destructive for all earth than just quebec without electricity... Thats was my point ... Solar flare big enough to make life difficult are inevitable in a 100 years window... Earthquake are more localized destruction... |
