Premature ejection is a huge problem for some stars.

Yes, it has happened before. Look up the Carrington Event in 1859.

All funny aside, a Hodgson event would not be so.
I am not sure if any country has hardened their grid, but I do know that replacement parts will be difficult, and the city zombies will rampage

There’s a guy around here who is a spitting image of Rick Flair and dresses the part complete with flowing robe.
Saw him in Walmart in full character a few months back and in the grocery story last week, sans the get up.

“Just” as in 13 hours ago. That word is beaten completely to death.

I’ve been confused about something.
Which one is better/worse for radio, flares or spots?
(Specifically Ham radio.)
