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 perhaps you should cut and paste my PM to you without edits and let the community decide if any of it rises to a rational definition of “ hate “….

i await…..

You misread my post my dear!

You did not manifested your "hate" in email...

You wrote to me as a friend SPECIFICALLY and politely advising me as a friend to not spoke to Millercarbon...

Your email were friendly as a friend to a friend ..Your hate begun AFTER ...

But after i discussed with Millercarbon, after strongly suggesting to me that I must not do it, i discussed with him anyway without rejecting all of what he claimed as such even if i did not accepted all of what he said , you never spoke to me again ever after , even you did not answered to my friendly post when i commented your posts because it seems to you that i sided with the wrong dude...😊

Did you get it ?

Now since all this time you re-appear with no content for this thread accusing me to side with rapist... And you did not do it frankly expressing a disagrement to me in my face but in an indirect way  but siding with  a hater who post nothing about me but hate " with no rational reason to hate me "...

Did you get it ?

I never attacked characters here for the sake of attacking people, i had  put and always put arguments in discussion, and i like everyone even millercarbon with whom i disagree on many things but not on all things and i discussed rationally with him by the way ( like him or not he was rational) ..

i discussed rationally even with the idiot here i will not name  now  who is no more on audiogon who claimed to all people  that  i killed people in the first months of covid because i recommended a french Doctor articles whose methods anyway are vindicated by events right now ...The one who kill people it seems was this dude recommendation who accuse me hatefully as an ignorant as it is already proven by facts now ... ( this french doctor is the most cited microbiologist in the world by H-Index  by the way )

 

You are you rational tomic ?

It seems not ... Or at least i am not sure ..😊

Put yourself in my shoes...

i dont aim to people character myself , i am interested by facts, reason, philosophy and acoustics ( not mere room acoustic) ..Only arguments speak to me i like all characters here even the worst one.. ( i am not offended by people acting as children but i reply and many dont like when i reply 😁)

I am here to discuss with friends...

With ARGUMENTS...

What are your arguments to hate someone me or Millercarbon ?

There is NONE ...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

@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?
