Actually Audiogon posters I have an idea. Maybe we can nicely ask Kenjit to return and set up a thread for these two so they can have a lovefest and not bore the crap out of anyone else.
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.

Just go to Texas, @jasonbourne71 , Abbott's grid is foolproof. |
Those are admirable traits, @grislybutter ; I commend you. |
@erik_squires was right... 😔 @laoman , as the 9th post in this thread, you inquired as to how to 'block' another poster.... Now, I'd bet that there IS a means to 'block' a poster y'all find 'obtrusive', likely a complex dance with one's 'puter to delete Anything that goes by your 'name'.. I'm too lazy to bother, but I can just ignore. If you don't understand me using *Off The Wall* analogs and the oblique view of this/that/ th' other.....That's fine. Blow by me.... If @mahgister is a 'different cut' from another sort of 'cloth' and 'runneth off at the keys' ( of which I'm guilty of as well ), so be it. Welcome to a Public Forum. Don't like? Don't remain. |
