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 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. 

 

You wrote this post to justify your reaction to my posts content as it suit you i think ...😊

First i must say that suggesting articles to read as i did here , serious one and speaking about and from my experience with the danger of crumbling electrical grid in 89 in Quebec is not as your posts here about my character suggested a one way road to my boasting ego ... Interprtating this as such is to say the least killing the messenger without reading the message ...

In spite of Laoman posts who harrassed me with insult in my private box and ijmatthews who trolled my posts since now almost a year ( did you know that ? ) , suggesting articles and content as i always did is beginning a dialog... Not with them it is useless but with those interested by Solar Flare threat which is not doomsday fiction but real event i lived through here...

In other thread about music and jazz too i entered in dialog ...

I called idiots people who harass my posts or any poster without suggesting themselves any positive content ...

Before attacking my character yourself because it suit your own character think twice...because i am not the only guilty here... I am guilty of suggesting reflections about the matter in this thread which is not about the beauty of sky at night nor about my ego or your ego ...

And this post of yours help me indeed because reading you i know you are not the kind of people to trail my posts with insults and sarcasms as the two others i will called idiots till they apologize...

I never attacked your character in any posts ...

I am here to discuss and suggesting an article for example about an acoustics deep question which may be helpful for one dude here and if it was as it seems because someone thank me it is enough for me...

If you are not interested by my posts as you yourself said already wisely you skip them ...

Thanks for the discussion ...You are of good faith and i will never attack your character...

 

The fact that all wars are useless crimes, that the last 4 years in the west were a course in social mass control is not conspiracy fiction it is a simple established evident fact...

Sorry for the news ...

When it comes to the US electrical grid in need of money for the survival of the people , all the actual payed wars were criminal...

 

Read the book of this dude about wars as i did and you will understand my perspective, he was not born yesterday :

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smedley_Butler

Does he look like a conspiracy theorist to you :

«Major General Smedley Darlington Butler (July 30, 1881 – June 21, 1940), nicknamed the Maverick Marine, was a senior United States Marine Corps officer. During his 34-year career, he fought in the Philippine–American War, the Boxer Rebellion, the Mexican Revolution, World War I, and the Banana Wars. At the time of his death, Butler was the most decorated Marine in U.S. history. By the end of his career, Butler had received sixteen medals, including five for heroism; he is the only Marine to be awarded the Brevet Medal as well as two Medals of Honor, all for separate actions. »

His book resume is the title "War is a rackett". His book is his life and consciousness awakenings... Nobody can call him non patriotic or a traitor ...It is a heroe a real one ...

Yes, @grislybutter  , you did try.  But you were correct, it didn't help.

All wars are justified as necessary and put as a "rational affair" in our brainwashed brains only on official controlled media newspapers...

Then some can think Solar flare are only a beautiful sight but alas! it is a real threat who ask for money investment diverted in wars right now ...

This is a joke picked by Elon Musk on twitter that explain why :

 

But sometimes the beauty of a solar flare can make us speechless in awe...

 This transformed attention toward beauty help us to cure  the foolishness in this world...

For those  who  sleep always too much , i suggested a riddle to stay awake when we need to think ...
