Billxam (OP) User ID: 19542178 United States 03/22/2013 07:09 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | the clock in my vehicle started losing time today. It was 1 min. off at 5:30am by 5pm it was 4min. off. I get 3 20min breaks at work which I go out to my vehicle for and noticed the time being wrong...pulled out my cell and sure enough the vehicle clock was losing time. Quoting: Shurrie Location? Crap, just realized that time of day should be included. Crap. If it's solar based and sun position isn't calculated, that's a problem. Oh well, it's dark here and the remote is acting up.

Watdhel User ID: 6754881 United States 03/22/2013 07:11 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Thanks! I'm outside in the garden on my phone at the moment - will add my location as soon as I am back on the 'puter Quoting: Rev StarGazer BTW - sitting out here because our weather changed abruptly yesterday. We've had an unusually cold winter with little to no rain and then all the sudden, woke up to summer. Except, summer usually doesn't start till May and this type of weather/heat does not usually come until late August or September. Yes, the view from the board off Grandpa's in December was disturbing! Normally sit out there waiting on sets & count waterfalls. The view in December was just different shades of brown. No unusual activity here in Louisiana, I'm quite sensitive to EMF and sleep grounded. |
Billxam (OP) User ID: 19542178 United States 03/22/2013 07:14 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Just curious, but how do you expect people with electronics issues to connect and post about it on the interwebs? Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1158628 Sorry if it has already been asked. No problem. Odd thing is that this seems to be limited to either automotive or small handheld electronics. I have a video server, and audio server, and audio file laptop, this laptop and the wife's laptop all running 24/7. No issues with any other than damn ass slow uploads to some sites. Downloads, no issues. I stream me show from in house so I'm pretty alert to upload speeds.

Anonymous Coward User ID: 9014106 Australia 03/22/2013 07:14 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Have been continuously getting 'zapped' for the past week or so (shooting pains & tingly sensations) - some in my feet also. Primarily, when I touch the mouse (wired) on my computer. And to a lesser extent from the keyboard and steering wheel from my car. I am starting to wonder if it is a 'nerve' issue. But it seems to come from electrical things.. Melbourne, Australia |

Bilbo Baggins User ID: 36681215 United States 03/22/2013 07:15 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Despite what was said about the solar activity. I would attribute most of what I've seen here to the sun. The fact that we're going through the most active part of solar maximum right now, it wouldn't surprise me if the sun had a lot to do with it. |

novamom User ID: 21938356 United States 03/22/2013 07:18 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I keep getting light, buzzing electrical shocks from almost everything - even touching the wood walls of a house yesterday Quoting: Rev StarGazer and yes, my computer has been acting very squirrly - randomly opening up pages without me touching anything, diconnecting and reconnecting to the Internet even when I'm only a few feet from the wifi modem shit i agree with electrical shocks, even touching my wife hand will create an electrical matter, its in the blanket too, very scary. Same here. I'm getting constant static shocks. I'm one of "those" people that is apparently well grounded. Well, it's been snowing/raining here in Michigan. Trust me, the humidity is high. Static shocks outside constantly. Getting tired of it. Same here in northern va! I even mentioned to my husband that it was odd we were getting shocked and there was so much static with it raining and damp out |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 36627904 United States 03/22/2013 07:27 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | So this went away and read I probably wasn't going to die unless it happened when I was driving. I read that it was basically a visual migraine. A day later I got my very first migraine. That sucker lasted for 5 days on the right side of my brain right in front. The only thing that helped was sleep (ibuprofen did nothing but muffle it) but of course I worked for 3 of those days not including the day with the S.S. attack. The day the headaches stopped the electric shock therapy began. I was scared to touch anything...funny thing is though it was raining the two days I had it! The last two days I had nausea, most especially today. I've also started having my left ear ringing here and there. The other was affected by Bell's Palsy a few years back and will probably never be the ear it used to be. We had a couple of things going on with the electric but not as much as the physical things happening to me. The lights flickered a few days back and some clocks reset but not others and there wasn't any electrical boxes knocked out, I checked. My internet it slow...we got a new router and it should be fine now but it isn't and occasionally internet goes out. I've been getting a heck of a lot of wrong numbers lately calling me and I've also noticed neighbors batteries have died in their cars(I watched as 2 were replaced). Cable occasionally gives me trouble(Comcast-My dad was yelling about calling them from the living room just last night because he was missing his shows). Hope this helps. |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 34426775 United States 03/22/2013 07:27 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Not sure if this is what you're looking for, but..I'm in Dayton, Oh area and yesterday our transformer went out, power down for about 4 hours, to 43 people. I didn't think too much of it, until my brother had the same problem at his house across town a couple nights ago. He said he had a guy working in his backyard at like midnight - 3am, and it was a little unsettling. Seems it's been happening all over, and we've seen many electric trucks in the past week, above the norm. They are parked everywhere. * ALOT of static shocks. These are painful, and harsh, not your normal zing! |
