According to this there was some HF radio blackouts but thats it.

I highly recommend the videos and graphs at the bottom of the page, but I am a nerd.

That CME video is pretty amazing. We are very lucky we have a strong magnetic field.

>>It was like watching TV with an old time antenna with a lot of snow on the screen

So it was like turning on the UHF channels and trying to tune in one that was barely visible through the snow?

I watched porn through worse in the 80's

Yes, molten outer core FTW. Bet mars wishes they had one of those.

I did have some glitches in my onboard gear in my work truck today...but only just a slight bit more than usual.

Welp...apparently nothing happened.

I died

Again?

Don't know if it was related or just coincidence . . . I had several power flickers throughout the day. Of course, could just be Florida Flicker & Flash power company standard ops.

When someone has died several times, it becomes noise. Kinda like on South Park with Kenny. You just expect it and therefore falls into "nothing happened that wasn't expected."

I remember one in 1979. It occured on the same day of the NFCCG between the Bucs and Rams. We had cable TV. The reception was usually crystal clear. The reception that day was very poor. It was like watching TV with an old time
antenna with a lot of snow on the screen

Dang, I thought the Bucs sucked all through the 70s.

They always had a great defense. When they added Doug Williams it all came together.

Again?

Still

Still

I thought if he got ded enough times, he gets to come back to life? Like getting a free snow cone after getting your ticket punched 10 times.

Internet has been acting up more than usual today.
My phone (only a couple of months old) just restarted itself without me doing it...and there was no update forcing it to reboot.

Again?

Well, considering Prince and Robin Williams and others keep dying and coming back to die again, what would you expect?
