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.

Sorry to be off the current topic but the US northwest was gifted with a bucket list event. The light show surpassed my biggest expectations. Half the sky was lit up with greens and reds. There were streaks of color and it was awe expiring. The wife and I were discussing when we go to Europe to go thru Iceland just in hopes of actually seeing the northern lights. It would still be fun but if we missed them I could say it’s alright I’ve at least seen it once.

On top of that my stereo was OK.

Cheers you guys .

Yes here to we had seen light...

the last times i had seen such light i was a teenager...😊

 

@danager ya man… all my Seattle friends are pummeling me with outstanding photos… i expect the music composers and artists among them to use it as grist.

@mahgister perhaps you should cut and paste my PM to you without edits and let the community decide if any of it rises to a rational definition of “ hate “….

i await…..

You misread my post my dear!

You did not manifested your "hate" in email...

You wrote to me as a friend SPECIFICALLY and politely advising me as a friend to not spoke to Millercarbon...

Your email were friendly as a friend to a friend ..Your hate begun AFTER ...

But after i discussed with Millercarbon, after strongly suggesting to me that I must not do it, i discussed with him anyway without rejecting all of what he claimed as such even if i did not accepted all of what he said , you never spoke to me again ever after , even you did not answered to my friendly post when i commented your posts because it seems to you that i sided with the wrong dude...😊

Did you get it ?

Now since all this time you re-appear with no content for this thread accusing me to side with rapist... And you did not do it frankly expressing a disagrement to me in my face but in an indirect way  but siding with  a hater who post nothing about me but hate " with no rational reason to hate me "...

Did you get it ?

I never attacked characters here for the sake of attacking people, i had  put and always put arguments in discussion, and i like everyone even millercarbon with whom i disagree on many things but not on all things and i discussed rationally with him by the way ( like him or not he was rational) ..

i discussed rationally even with the idiot here i will not name  now  who is no more on audiogon who claimed to all people  that  i killed people in the first months of covid because i recommended a french Doctor articles whose methods anyway are vindicated by events right now ...The one who kill people it seems was this dude recommendation who accuse me hatefully as an ignorant as it is already proven by facts now ... ( this french doctor is the most cited microbiologist in the world by H-Index  by the way )

 

You are you rational tomic ?

It seems not ... Or at least i am not sure ..😊

Put yourself in my shoes...

i dont aim to people character myself , i am interested by facts, reason, philosophy and acoustics ( not mere room acoustic) ..Only arguments speak to me i like all characters here even the worst one.. ( i am not offended by people acting as children but i reply and many dont like when i reply 😁)

I am here to discuss with friends...

With ARGUMENTS...

What are your arguments to hate someone me or Millercarbon ?

There is NONE ...
