CME also drags a big bubble of magnetic field with it. That is typically what does a lot of the "interacting".

Lucky for us, astrophysicists don't run or operate the grid. 10 years? Are you kidding me? How the hell is that credible? If that was true then it would have taken 1000 years to build the current grid. Only it didn't and most of the grid was built very very recently (Hint we use more power every year).

WTF? No we are not. If you think your the rational one, then your either a liar or deluded. I work in Science and just as an example, the campus Pharmacy does good sales on homeopathy products!

GP is a well known troll on this sort of topic. Mostly just makes up facts. For example he/she once posted that Three Mile Island killed tens of thousands of people. When it comes to his/her beloved Germany. Well shesh, the solar panels will need to work at peek power even in the middle of the night to even close to a angle o sphere claim.

If these "replaced" plants still have to be not just online but spun up, then they are *not* replaced now are they.

A good chunk of your CO2 footprint, is all that crap you manufacture/buy in/from China.

You seem to have one. The science does not agree with your view point. No not the stuff in a news paper, the stuff in a proper peer reviewed journal.

NAT is NOT a firewall. Meaning that you haven't hid anything and you are not secure. Also NAT is a huge reason why IPSec doesn't work. It breaks the internet.

NAT is not a firewall. Guessing IPs behinds NATs is easy. IPv6 has much better solutions.

Only in the US. Where it is mostly just a self fulfilling prophecy.

I would argue not only is that IQ as it is currently measured is worthless as it does not measure what it set out to. But also that the fundamental assumption behind it is also flawed.

Sometimes yes. You don't want a surgeon that is not at least bit focused on the result. Or a bridge engineer.

Yea, in China its perfectly ok to shoot your neighbors Dinosaur with a gun in a fantasy story.

Criticize the Government... not so much.

No, but a lot of peoples reaction to the event will.

the show has always been and always will be dumbed down. Name one episode that isn't. While at least blowing shit up is fun.

I have worked with this data. Its very short fragments and are far from complete. Hell even modern genomes are far from complete. We know that DNA is simply not long term stable unless preserved at very cold temperatures. Temperatures that just have not been around on earth for that long in a single location.
