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  , there wasn't anything at all that was the least bit politically polarizing about the OP which was simply pointing out "exceptionally high solar activity" and llightheartedly suggesting people unplug their electrical appliances.  You are the one who made the polarizing post, and then when people pushed back (which is how people typically respond to polarizing material) you react by calling them haters and idiots.

It is easy for you to interpret my indignation as a decent human about the investment in wars instead of infrastructure which by the way is vital survival necessities...

You interpreted as a provocation what is only common sense appeal. This behaviour is not surprizing especially by someone as yourself who harassed already many of my posts in few others threads with NO ARGUMENTS and no reason just to push your hateful frustration baiting others hateful to come back as you just did here ..😊

Do you think all people are blind idiots and cannot see your empty hate ?

Instead of derailling the thread as you did with the few others your howling posts baited here i posted many articles about CME high risk now and in the future and about the necessity to invest in infrastructures renovation ...

As i said they did it in Quebec and reinforced the grid after the 1989 apocalyptic CME ...

I lived throught it myself... Why do you think i insisted on the urgency in the US to adress renovation of all electrcal grid ? INSTEAD OF PAYING FOR WARS...

Why do you think i insisted on this articles explaining the risks ?

Now your pitiful explanation about my posts is ridiculous because you yourself post nothing but hateful posts against me as you did for many many months ..

I cannot hate you because you really are a child ..😊

The only one i called idiots are those who attacked my character without any rational argument except their common hate, sorry but i always reply ... People who are less endowed by Nature hate those who appear better than them... It is such scapegoating already in school yard in gang ...😊 Nothing new here ...

 

You are the one who made the polarizing post,

Now it is clear by your past behaviour that anything i will post anywhere will attract hateful clowns who will pretend that my future post is the cause of the derailling thread..

Did you catch your vicious circle reasonning poor dude ? Ask you mother for help to understand this ... 😊

 

 

 my indignation as a decent human about the investment in wars instead of infrastructure 

Did you ever stop to consider that perhaps a conversational post within an audio site about solar activity and the possible need to unplug electrical appliances wasn't the appropriate place for that conversation?  And for that matter, that possibly an audio site isn't an appropriate forum for it?

You really are stubborn ... 😊

Are you the OP of audiogon ?

Did you ever stop considering that the CME and the solar flare could be really a doom event ?

Could you consider that reading my articles suggestions about solar flare was not inappropriate?

And could you consider that if i am rational i am free to post about the matter of a thread without being attacked by you and some others who POSTED ONLY HATEFUL remarks ?

 

See it in the face : you hate someone, you harassed him with no reason for months ( it is why i said that you must be an idiot) and you came in this thread and  seeing  my post about CME danger which i lived through really in quebec electrical apocalypse by the way ( you did not experienced this by the way ) then  as you did for months you attacked my character ...

You act as an idiot or as a troll what can i do ?

I reply to those who attack me sorry ...

You stop mocking or attacking my posts WITH NO RATIONAL ARGUMENT ..If not i will explain how and why you act as you act ...
