@laoman I find three kinds of challenging posts here: meaningless, unintelligible and deceitful (aside from trolling). It's especially confusing when it comes from the same person. I can have all the empathy in the world for the first two, but I have a hard time with the third kind - premeditated misinformation....
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.

@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. |
@mahgister I will for a minute pretend that you are engaged in a dialog - read what others write. You seem to be extremely angry and frustrated. If everyone is driving in the opposite direction, maybe you are driving the wrong way. But your attitude is always "everybody is a hater and too stupid to understand you". You are constantly calling people stupid, idiots, children, etc.. These are insults that are absolutely uncalled for. Commenters here argue with what you write, they don't attack your character. On the other hand you wage personal attacks on everyone who disagrees with you. You make these threads very painful to read because you hijack them with your political agenda and wild conspiracy theories that nobody wants to read. I have little hope that this helps you, but I gave it a try.

@immatthewj @laoman well, I am idealistic and naive.... 😊 to say the least.
|
@immatthewj that was funny, and brilliant :) |
@erik_squires this is definitely one of the most entertaining posts lately. Feels like a big lawn with wandering patients skipping on their meds. |
@immatthewj I stand corrected. Not "skipping on their meds" but overdosing on something hardcore.
On a serious note: I am too scared to know my neighbor's political views, it's stressful enough to know my relatives'. Why would I want to know the wacky cult-affiliations of the members here. What's causing this, solar flares? |
