Some external event like this would certainly re-arrange priorities in this country.

Depends on what ones priorities are. Remember, the leftist trash never let a crisis go to waste.

It’s probably the same throughout the universe, even in the Ford Galaxy.

Well DUH!

We'd certainly need to take in more refugees!

I, for one, am convinced this is on the horizon and coming to us soon.

And I really hope I’m right (which is why I’m dismissed from objectivity) because the only way I’ve ever seen out of the tyranny is “nothing short of a direct meteor hit”. And a superflare would be comparable.

I want to find data that supports my hope. Again, I’m off the varsity team for that reason alone but I can still chime in with a cheer from the bleachers.

I've had similar thoughts.

Data strongly suggests that our sun is a periodic micronova, with a periodicity of about 12,000 years.

The last event was about 12,000 years ago.

This topic was posted 12/21/2022, apparently I didn't consider this GGG-worthy at the time. Have a great week.

“Heyday: The 1850s and the Dawn of the Global Age” went into that.

We are lucky that it happened at the very beginning of the electrical age and not later, when electrical devices became central to how we live and how the world works.
