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.
You just couldn't hold yourself back, could you, @mahgister . |
And yourself who harassed me in others thread WITHOUT ANY ARGUMENT from you you just could not hold back yourself ? No i could not hold back about a very well known fact of history dude well illustrated in the last years: the elite governing the West did not invested in the critical infrastructures necessary for SURVIVAL in case of CME or meteorites impact. They did not even give a damn about the day to day infrastructure maintenance. When a big CME will arrive where will you hope the big money investment could had been allocated by wise leaders : the destruction and wars or maintenance and creation of infrastructure? You are not in revolt and angry about this problem concerning the electrical grid fragility easy to repair with less money than the budget invested in wars ? Or your petty hate against me blind you ? No you seems not... You aligned yourself behind a liar who harassed my private mail for sure stirring the pot here ... 😊
By the way as most people you had never lived a 12 hours without electricity at all in winter... Myself i did...in 1989... This is why i called criminals those who invested in provoked wars...
I apologize to the OP for sure ... But hyenas who did not contribute at all to this thread matter attacked me i answered...

I live in Canada. In winter we live through sub zero temperatures for many successive months... A house is not habitable here without electricity... This is why this problem make me think a lot.... More perhaps than those who lives in milder condition... When you live at 25 celsius under zero for many days without electricity. You cannot live long especially older people... And i cannot have all it takes to survive without electricity... 😊 A CME is a previsible reoccuring regular event... We know it... Government had the duty to prepare the infrastructure for it. period. |
