I don’t give a damn about your hue, just keep the intensity under control and we won’t have a problem.
But do you care about the value? Or the saturation?
Damn, that headline sure is written to make it seem like it’s something worrying. It isn’t. We thought the sun was going to go into a low activity cycle in 2008 and it didn’t. It’s interesting, but certainly not alarming. https://www.nasa.gov/science-research/heliophysics/nasa-analysis-shows-suns-activity-ramping-up/
That’s exactly what a sun denialist would say! You can’t trust nothing from Nasa.Too many woke scientists unlike the God fearing employees of SpaceX.
Sarcasm?
Yes, of course.
I can’t distinguish between your sarcasm and mimicry. Or is there even?
this is good for the 11m CB radio people
And 10m Amateur Techs!
Can you tell me why that would be?
I’m guessing if a solar flare takes out communication infrastructure then CB radios will still work.
Not that. It creates atmospheric conditions where certain bands can bounce off the ionosphere and transmit beyond the horizon. Hams can get pretty damn far around the whole globe.
Edit: I was checking on the details of how far hams can go, and Google’s AI slopped this out:
The “longest ham ionosphere bounce” refers to a phenomenon called moonbounce (EME, or Earth-Moon-Earth), which is an amateur radio communication technique that sends signals off the Moon’s surface back to Earth, covering a distance of approximately 770,000 kilometers (478,000 miles) round trip…
No, bad LLM! Moonbounce and Ionosphere bounce are distinct things.
Hum, why would CB radios still work? It would fry any kind of equipment with wires. In 19th century when that big flare event happened the telegraph lines caught fire. Anything with a filament inside would fry.
Not filliments, conductors. Such as the ones running through through your home
You can build a basic radio manually with a little bit of know how. If you have spare capacitors, they’re likely to survive and be pretty replaceable. You can rig up an antenna out of any wire, it just needs to be the correct length and it’ll work to some degree.
If your entire house goes up in flames at once, well, spare parts are probably not on the table
Telegraph lines are longer therefore have a larger effect during a solar flare.
But yeah, at a certain level, a solar flare would fry everything.
That makes sense, I thought it would make the signals clearer or something.
Bet oil companies are going to be look not our fault see it?
No, they’ll probably gonna be “see? We told you the sun isn’t good! Ban solar!”
The sun is the ultimate communist and it WILL destroy capitalism. 👍🏼
So are you telling me there’s still a way out?! Thank god
That’s when the timelines split
We’re fine, the sun send just us an heart emoji.
