@immatthewj ;-) LOL
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.

@hickamore ...Ah, but they do, after a fashion... The current varieties are infested with 'AI's, meant to allow the washer to inform the dryer what and how to deal with it's new load. Whether the dryer has the option to argue or negotiate the task is still unclear.... There was a recent article regarding having an AI 'train/teach' newer AI's the original....program, tasks, sequencing, 'proper responses to their 'uman overlords', all that...."Regenerative Programing" I believe it's called.... In checking on the success of the endeavour, they also found that the AIs' had learned a new trick, common among their 'umans.... They learned how to forget... Started to appear in Gen 4.....Gen 5 definitely.... * We've been giving 'them' WiFi, Blueteeth, web access...... Alexa giggles late at night... The Dots know where you are.. Your cell certainly does...and a lot more besides... If the HVAC has a linked thermostat... Everyone has more to fear than Me. * Btw...open memo: I admit to the more than uncommon amount of 'off-topic' posts...and indulge in a somewhat curious habit of 'toying' with the American English standard forms of IF I begin to post this:
..sort of gibberish, which is Certainly NOT my 'style' or intent ever here @ A'gon.... Most notice that I do use proper capitalization...unless I'm making a Point or Drawing (hopefully) Attention to some (hopefully) salient issue o/r comment o/r even that which I generally refer to as an Absurdvation....as in: "I do hope we live in a universe that Actually Is a hologram, one of a series that reflects the potential from alternative ones.....*G* What seems to be very Large may actually be very small.... It would explain 'spooky action at a distance', because there's less than it seems.."
I force no one to read any of this, nor that of anyone else. IF... you feel you're too put upon to scroll or click, or just in need of an equivalent of an 'online slap fight', which only serves to bruise one's brain from the inside out. And, of course...I'm subject to the same rules, regs, and parameters as 'thou'all (better?). The Admin Angels have pulled me over as well for being as guilty as 'ell, as well....😏 As best stated elsewhere, in the Book that
likely read to the "Do unto others...." and stopped.

@onhwy61 ....I recognize those odds.....but wonder 'Which Gen number?" Nonsense to toss cash at the last... ;) |
That’s why people think you post gibberish. *S*. You say things that don’t add up *VBG** You invent words like *Absurdvation* and expect us to decode your renderings. *L* *erp**dld* |
