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.

and i answered them rationally

You have proved yourself incapable of a rational answer.

Interesting article about headaches and solar radiation cylcles, but it seems there is no correlation...

What is interesting here is the way the scientists canalyses tweeter content to arrive at this conclusion ..

«We analyzed 63 million keyword-bearing messages posted over the three years covering the maximum of Solar Cycle 24. No correlation has been found despite the large sample size. The simulation reveals that the significant correlation would have emerged even if only 1% of headache (2% of migraine) instances were caused by geomagnetic disturbances, thus placing very low upper limits on the prevalence of this trigger among Twitter users.»

 

 

 

These solar flares are just our conceited sun showing off.

It thinks the whole world revolves around it!😆

Yeah, sorry...

Well, I guess it only has about 4.5 billion years or there abouts left, so we will see who gets the last laugh.

You were the one who insisted on opening that door and going down that road despite the fact that this is an audio forum, not a political flame war forum

 

I spoke in my first post about the stupidity of all wars when all infrastructure are in urgent needs concerning electrical grid ... Gaza or ukraine or vietnamk iraq libya etc... Do you want a list?

Have you read the book "war is a rackett" i suggested by one of the most decorated marines officer ever ?

Are you the Audiogon moderator censorship post master ? instead of erasing my post you attacked me regularly now is it so ? if you are not this audiogon censor then you are an irrational troll mocking everyone you dont like because of their opinion ..You have proved it with your behaviour against asvjerry... Do you remember ?

Yes you remember because after mocking his innocuous post now you cited him as a rational reason justifying your behaviour against him ...

Incredible... You are not ashamed to be read saying such absurd excuses by other people with a brain ? It seems not...

Brownbear sleep with laoman why do you came back with NO REASON and no content in this thread except irrational justification of anormal character attack ?
