Strongest Solar Flare of this Solar Cycle…

[Pimphand 5,732]

Me: Hey we have 4 coronal mass ejections headed our way (wound up being 3 more after)

Everyone: oh boy here is that nutter freak again

Now:

My response:

No regrets
To bring me no tears
Never scared of things men fear
Never easy
Never clean
To be a beast among human sheep
I am fear
I am your heretic
I am your doom
Waiting for the number
7 on 7
To the 6 on 6
Bring it on to me

I mean it’s a good idea to have protections in place for a major EMP type event. Im not sure precious metals matter though. 

Precious metals absolutely matter because they are the best counterparty free risk asset.  An asset is only as good as the counterparty whose liability it is can make good on it.  The world is about to stop buying US debt and dedollarize which will trigger the worlds greatest game of musical chairs/hot potato and both you, me, and most the people we know will draw shortest straw and have nothing.  Boston Fed literally wrote a comic about it... https://www.bostonfed.org/publications/economic-education/road-to-roota.aspx

Also how many of you freaks have shungite?  Honest question....

Karelian shungite literally you need to glue that shit to your cellphone and have it around your hoses but I bet the answer is 0.

here is the top ercot result on "series compensation".... it's a .ppt deck from 2014 and i can't figure out we have "series compensation" on our ERCOT transmission lines.... anyway this is a .ppt

If it cost ERCOT money, they probably didn’t do it.

So we should spend a shitload of money on precious metals, so that when everything collapses, I can somehow barter with it, which coincidentally advertises to the people I come into contact with that I am a dumbass with precious metals that should be robbed. That’s assuming they actually care about such things as precious metals in the apocalypse, because we all somehow will have the ability (small furnace and molds) to take those gold coins and gold bars and melt them down into smaller denominations and there will be some kind of centralized system that communicates with everybody how much gold or silver it takes to buy a bushel of corn.

At least you’re not one of those dumbasses trying to push crypto on everybody.

I prefer farmable land with a ground water source owned free and clear with lots of seed. In the event of an infrastructure collapse precious metals aren’t gonna do shit. Having your own electrical water and food supply with no burden is what’s gonna be a thing.

I had a lovely day.  Phone and internet worked when I needed, which wasn't often.  Saw some good friends, drank some good drinks, and enjoyed the outdoors.  I'm sure Pimphand did not.

Does it bother you that it was cut and polished by 12 year-olds in Vietnam?  And does the high amount of lead affect anything?

['stache 21,789]

Daughter wanted to find dark skies and we got some good shots. Had to use super dark mode (daughter knew how to set it after reading an article). To the eye it looked like a light pollution haze but in a direction with no cities nearby. For comparison, the last shot is facing the other direction towards the city. Pretty cool to see it even if the phone was required.

Pimp, when all you have are Krugerrands or Maple leafs or Pandas, whether it’s a rifle or a cup of coffee - everything is  gonna cost one of them. 

Imma, once I had freshwater and access to a bay or the gulf, I would be fine.   You are going to run out of deer pretty quickly - and it will take awhile to grow stuff, assuming you get enough water and good weather and no pests - but there is always gonna be shrimp and fish to eat in the Gulf.  I think a strongly built elevated Fish camp in the middle of God awful nowhere would be a good contender if you had a fresh water source.   Hell, if you had a big enough tarp and a collection tank, rainstorms would probably keep you adequately supplied with freshwater.  

In some sort of world calamity you probably don’t need to survive more than a year, because large portions of the population will be gone after that.  The main thing is to get far away from people as you can, because people are dangerous, stupid things.

I suspect it's probably a combination of their belief in "End Times" and the persecution they experienced. It wasn't until I started reading Zane Grey novels that I got an appreciation for the persecution that the LDS experienced. In Riders of the Purple Sage the LDS were portrayed as over the top villains.

I was mid-way through Purple Sage when I did some reading on anti-Mormonism. I had no idea how much of an outcast LDS people were back in the day.

It's almost like it takes a really stupid and unlikable person to hop onto a religion that was founded by a grave-digging con-man, rooted in anti-indian racism of the time, and claimed that only he could read the holy texts and that mormons arrived in America hundreds of years before anyone else as the last tribe of Zion or some shit. 

We used to justifiably ostracize those guys from society. Now we let the Pimphands of the world run free.

I don't even think I had a cell outage all weekend. Was bummed the weather in Houston didn't allow for any viewing of the northern lights. 

Also, lol, when I saw this thread pop back up I knew Pimphand was on here losing his fucking mind even more than it's already lost.

One of the things I love about this brand of nutbattery is the idea that 1) total economic and social collapse is coming, so one of the keys is 2) buy precious metals.

Dude.  When society and the economy collapses, precious metals are just shiny baubles.  NOTHING THAT IS NOT UTILITARIAN WILL HAVE VALUE.  If we are REALLY heading for total social and economic collapse, the only metal you should be buying is lead, cast into ammo and topping off a powder-filled brass casing.

It's like they buy into the doom fantasy....but only partially.  Just enough to support their goldbug/silverbug erection.  Lying to yourself in a different flavor is still lying to yourself.

But let's get back to the shutdown of all of our communications today and tomorrow ("widespread service disruptions").  If we all still have service tomorrow, meaning that pimphand's promises of impending doom are bullshit, will he eat crow?  Sings point to "no."

This weekend, I did not:

1) buy bullion

2) grow my own food (well, that's not true -- our little lemon tree is coming along quite nicely, I really think we're gonna get a half dozen lemons this year, so that's cool)

3) lose cell service

4) lose any technology (well, the Apple TV signal on the Austin FC match on Saturday night went black for a couple of seconds twice....maybe that was solar flare-related?  Or maybe it was the continuing shittiness of the Apple MLS broadcast, which has been an issue all season)

5) die in a massive collapse of civilization and society

 

All in all, a pretty decent little weekend.  No doom.  Which, as a longtime holder of real property on The Ledge, disappoints me.

[YGIFS 19,449]

So, we had a lot of eggs yesterday at Mother's Day brunch.  And they don't always agree with me.  So to get overly personal...I'm in the restroom this morning having my own "solar flare."  And I decide to call the U.S. House committee on I.T. & Cybersecurity.  noCR/ I inquire as whether or not any committee members believe this solar event may have been caused by Jewish Space Lasers.  I just got a call back a moment ago indicating that I may be involved in a formal investigation into inciting panic amongst the public.  And then I honestly sat in thought for a moment about whether or not the simulation is also undergoing disruption due to the said solar flares and my own psychosis.  This all happened in the last 72 hours, here in America.  The place you all think is real while I may be disciplined for suggesting Israeli Electromagnetic Pulses are causing Coronal Mass Ejections from our home star by Congress.  

I don't know how any of our grandchildren are going to read any of our history and not just shrug and giggle, "Oh, so it wasn't just grandpa.  Everybody back then was fucking insane."
