the sun is exploding exploding though, we had to safe all our satellites
fuck you, you got the eclipse already
if there ever was a time to speedrun M64
tonight's the night
solar storms/ejections
we barely got missed by a killshot last night
that would have unirronically fucked the Earth
but now that all the scary heavy particles flew past
we get the cool magnetic waves and alpha/beta particles
they're not going to talk about this, because it would jsut scare people I think
but unirronically, I think this is the closest we've come to getting hit
in recorded history
I saw it posted on reddit when I was shitting earlier
idk the exact AU distance
but actually close
not like "space close"
Replying to legorhin #jazardly so how much is the global temperature going to increase from this near miss?
I think it decreases
Yeah we get hit by a solar flare and die the day before I'm home
Thanks god
solar storms tend to cool the part of the sun facing the earth
I legitimately cannot find a report on how much it missed us by
I'll find the number at some point next time I'm in work
ok, I learned something new, the scale for solar flares is retarded
instead of Huricane or Tornado scales
it goes A-->B-->C-->M-->X
you can tell these people were not gamers
it would fuck up anything magnetic, power generation being the "kill shot" piece
NO! THE HADRON COLLIDER
MY BELOVED
but yeah, electronics would get fucked up too, all data storage is magnetic,
Computers themselves would retain some function, since there's a degree of tolerance to their instruction sets, but yeah, would be really catastophic
Spooky, why is the Rob archive not in a Faraday cage???
so Pika, this might be interesting to someone
spooky you need to put the archive on one of these
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/5D_optical_data_storage
Replying to legorhin #jazardly spooky you need to put the archive on one of these https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/5D_optical_data_storage
If this came out, you know Spooky would own 2 or 3 of them
I actually got a special fire extinguisher for the streamer house, since I was unaware that normal fire extinguishers will corrode all electronics in a house they're used in
thats neat and also good thinking
idk if that's common knowledge, but I had zero idea
It makes sense to me
they're not that much more expensive either
it's not even "direct spray fucks these up"
using a normal class ABC extinguisher will jsut fuck up all phones/computers/ w/e within the same enclosed air space
I believe it has to do with the dry chemicals binding to water in the air, and as those air molecules move about the house and settle, they gradually corrode whatever it is they touch, which affects electronics pretty severely
not that you *cant* clean them
Yeah electronics are pretty sensitive to internal corrosion
