Good flick.
Good point.
But I’ll ping you when the internet goes down.

burned out, eh?
The movie “Melancholia” is a fascinating and disturbing movie.
Well at least he landed on the dark side of the Sun!
That is a pretty obscure reference, but I can recognize the back of Michael Gross’s head and I know the episode and the short story like the back of my hand.
I had a janitor employee of mine that had a part time job at a mortuary/crematorium. He told me that when they put the fat people in the oven you can hear all the popping and spitting of the fat burning off.
Something amazing to me is eventually our star the Sun cremates us all as in God destroying the Earth with fire
LOL!
Nice! It must be an exciting job.
Missed by this much.
Earh is 93,000,000 miles away.
400,000 kilometers = 248548.477 miles.
He enjoys it.
Here are some links about the potential modern effect of a Carrington scale event.

These IT pros include a video which I did not watch because my IT savvy partner is too busy on HIS PC, and if I look at a Video it interferes with his activities on line. Grrrr

This link mentions a relatively recent much milder CME event that took place in March. It hit parts of Canada, and I try to imagine the whole north of the central US and Europe being hit with something stronger but still not Carrington level. Also cost estimates in $trillions.

Business Insider looks at the impact for business, which in effect affects us all.

After a noticeable CME event 4 years earlier, this 2011 NG article postulates effects for our technology 10 years ago.

In a completely different vein, this link causes me to ask has civilization caused our brains to shrink. I believe it has been reported our brains are smaller than Cro Magnon’s. Most of us are now domesticated. Every day I see people I know would be dead in a week. Is this why girls are attracted to the wild boys? Remember the 2000 deaths in New Orleans from Katrina, including in the so called big shelter.
So, folks, I have a question. What would happen if Putin decided to start his attack on Ukraine just when a major CME hit?
Isn’t this video taken from a satellite beyond Earth, observer? That being the case WHAT THE HECK is all that flying around in the solar system?
The end could be a slow process.
But, the end could be almost instantaneous. Either way, it will be sure to happen. So, Eat, Drink and be Merry, we will not leave Earth alive. Take care of our home. We will not be able to colonize another.
Kabuki theater. He recognized his illegal puppet states, then sent troops in apparently after Biden announced the sanctions.
That’s what I thought of too! Had to look it up. Thought it was Twilight Zone but it was The Outer Limits, “Inconstant Moon”. That was a great episode. Although I forget how it ended. I seem to recall I was disappointed in the ending. Maybe something like that the girl (a librarian?) ran off into the night leaving the guy alone at the end?
