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.

Feels like a big lawn with wandering patients skipping on their meds.

Ha ha! That visual is slaying me, @grislybutter  .

Well, as the member who has read too much E.E. Cummings said:

Brownbear,what do you think about receiving REPEATED yourself insult from an unknown poster who had harassed you in the past uninvited in your own private space in audiogon mail?

I guess "Brownbear is you, @grislybutter ? As an aside, @jerryg123 used to send me "love letters" . . I found that amusing. I tried to paste one of them on the site, but I guess it was too obscene, as @Admin deleted it. Ha ha! @Admin didn’t have a problem with me getting the DMs, however.

I will recommend you a free book

About stupidity...

It was wrote by an italian economist...

This five law of stupidity :

These are Cipolla’s five fundamental laws of stupidity:

  1. Always and inevitably, everyone underestimates the number of stupid individuals in circulation.
  2. The probability that a certain person (will) be stupid is independent of any other characteristic of that person.
  3. A stupid person is a person who causes losses to another person or to a group of persons while himself deriving no gain and even possibly incurring losses.
  4. Non-stupid people always underestimate the damaging power of stupid individuals. In particular, non-stupid people constantly forget that at all times and places, and under any circumstances, to deal and/or associate with stupid people always turns out to be a costly mistake.
  5. A stupid person is the most dangerous type of person.

i underline the third law because your hating group aiming asvjerry is perfect exemple of that...

Idiots cannot recognize themselves in a mirror for sure, mocking someone else who came here because he "seems" to defend me is perfect illustration of your gang irrational behaviour ...

here is a good resume of the book.
