Solar Flare to hit Tuesday AM
« on: February 14, 2011, 08:12:56 PM »

Brace for impact.

East coast folks that have a tendency to leave their computers online 24/7 might be best served to turn them off.  this isn't a big enough flare to do real damage, but solar weather folks are suggesting that tomorrow will be warmer than traditional weather services predict initially, especially for North America.  And that Europe will get rain later in the week from the Atlantic evaporation from the surge in temps.  Voltage in electric transportation systems may become irregular.

No mutant dinosaurs predicted.

It is much more powerful to seek Truth for one's self.  Seeing and hearing that others seem to have found it can be a motivation.  With me, I was drawn because of much error and bad judgment on my part. Confronting one's own errors and bad judgment is a very life altering situation.  Confronting the errors and bad judgment of others is usually hypocrisy.

Doubtful.

The only thing that would have been effected at ground level was the power grid, mainly on the east coast of the U.S. and Canada. And the power co's had plenty of warning to safe the lines, set breakers etc.

A surge would largely have been absorbed by the router and modem's wall-wart DC transformers. A dip might do it, but generally below the operating threshold is the same as "off", so that would have reset them anyway.

I was thinking more about what came in over the cable rather than power lines.  (or it might have briefly knocked out the service at the Central Office and I just needed to reset to sync back up)

I suspect you haven't seen the end of them.  I had some just like that out front of my place that I had to dispense with.  As I did, I heard someone yelling "That's more, man!"

I'm not allowed to talk to them.  Seems the local Bishop got his tie torqued a couple of years ago when I kept inviting the poor kids into the AC for relief from the heat/humidity, and while talking about their book offering them a cold drink - soda, beer, iced coffee?  After word got out, I can't even get the folks pushing "The Watchtower" to knock on my door.

As for the solar flare -- apparently my implanted pacemaker/defibulator is immune.

stay safe.

Offer them some coffee cake to go with it.  Watch the confused looks on their faces.

So you're saying we should start a separate jacking with missionaries thread and keep this one clean and pure with Zombies and Mutants ?

APS is always full of thread veer.
