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.

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?

I will go to Texas; I understand that they have a good handle on how to handle a power grid.

@mahgister what you are saying about Ukraine, spreading lies and baseless conspiracy theories is absolutely evil. 10s of 1000s of civilians have been tortured and killed by Putin’s thugs and the invasion, which nobody provoked.

There is zero proof for anything that you are saying, you are completely delusional (and/or evil). I came back several times to this thread and stopped short of commenting, but nothing good comes out of letting you spread lies and not refuting them.

You effectively derailed and destroyed this thread like you do most of the time. My apologies to the OP for taking the bait.

A lot of threads take this turn. I have behaved for almost a month and never commented on anything he wrote. But that doesn't excuse my comment here, now

If you cannot read my posts which is aimed at all useless wars and take one exemple (Ukraine) as a reason for your blindness to negate the evident fact that money must go in the infrastructures to protect people for cataclysms of Nature not in wars , if you let your hate blind you then dont read my post but dont attack my character...

incredible the numbers of petty hating ego who missed the message and attack the posters... WITHOUT logical arguments...

 

By the way i always used arguments in the threads you claimed i destroyed...

Stupidity destruct threads not arguments...

Read in yourself what you project onto others characters...

It seems your hate for me is long term even if i never attacked you, enjoy it ...

😊

By the way OP i contributed positively to this thread unlike the three clowns who came here hating me without any positive content about the matter of the thread...
