https://twitter.com/drkstrong/status/1709027751523504262 Some interesting sun weather going on. The massive filament could change and just be nothing, but if it does erupt it would be insane. Other CMEs are going off, but not that big one. Nothing of note to hit Earth at moment. https://twitter.com/drkstrong/status/1709744997791076762

There have been a few other Miyake events recorded in tree rings, and a supernova close enough to make that kind of mark would leave plenty of other evidence. As far as I’m aware, there’s no correspondence between the known Miyake events and supernovae in the Milky Way that were observed. It’s pretty safe to rely on Occam’s Razor here and assume that the Sun is the most likely source.

It’s obviously evidence of nuclear weapons employed in the war between the Orangutan Surfing Civilization and the Kangarat Murder Society.

Last I knew it was undetermined and might've been something else like super nova or something. the Wikipedia page has a good summary https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/774%96775_carbon-14_spike there’s reports consistent with crazy auroras that were quite far south, that doesn’t exclude a gamma ray burst though but there should be some pretty easily observable remnants if it was that powerful. that points back to the sun but that seems to raise a lot of questions quote:In 2022, a study of an extreme solar particle storm near a solar minimum 9125 years BP (7176 BCE), showed one of the largest 10

Wouldn't every building catch fire? Last time I read into this I think I read that the damage from a Carrington event are mostly on long giant lines like this, and that modern power lines are hardened against this type of thing and a solar storm like that wouldn't actually do much to our stuff on earth. A Miyake sounds way loving worse.

A Miyake sounds way loving worse. Every satellite hit would be destroyed. They are hardened for radiation but not that much radiation. GPS would be hosed. Any electronics outside would be hosed. Most, if not all cars would be hosed. Most generators would be hosed. Modern society would be mega-hosed. TLDR: Hell yeah Carrington event let’s gooooooo.

All the heavy gold coins and ingots Fox News told me to buy are in my ultra-cheap safe in my basement!  Slight aside, how do I pay for a can of corn with a gold ingot? The guy selling it isn't going to want the whole thing, right? And if I pay in gold shavings and shards, aren't they just gonna know I have more gold back at my house? Ugh, this logical thinking is making my head hurt in progressive ways. Oooh, another documentary about Hitler!

The 50000 lakes number is pretty frightening though. I'm assuming it is too expensive not technically feasible to try and drain some of the lakes before they naturally break. Although I guess the sheer number of them and that they don't even have the resources to do risk assessments on all of them answers that question.
