Everybody Loves a Final Countdown

I let you into my house.

*gives cookie back with no jokes whatsoever*

Stay away, or get shit on.

You want so desperately to be me.

It's sad to watch you in this state.

Speaking of the sun...

Some interesting solar plasma stream right now.

What is interesting about it?

Do you know if there are any stats on cme's or if anyone keeps track of them?

I say there will be many major fireworks in the next 12 months despite the solar minimum

Just a little plasma bump. It came in like a CME. Not likely to go into geomagnetic storm.

I don't know where the stats would be, but I am sure someone has them.

It's just that it's hard to count such things as we only tend to talk about the earth facing side of the sun in a time when we can watch it from different angles.

It's a lot easier to get a solar flare count because there is at least a way to quantify it by solar flare size.

Cheers

Don't you think that cme's are just as important as flares when assessing solar activity?

Sure I do. But not every flare will have a CME, and not every CME will have a flare/sun spot.

The NOAA, and NASA CME prediction models both kinda suck.

The CME is the dangerous part, but we don't have the satellite network we need to track them in 4d space.

99% of the time the two are related, making solar flares a good enough indicator of earth directed danger.

Fair enough

I used to monitor the videos around 2011/2013 and there were quite a few cme's without flares from what I can remember

So what is special about iridium besides rarity?

It's fun to say?


Can you define the scope of your question?

You mean elemental iridium on the planet earth?

I'll poke around some and see if I can find you some stats.

It might be some time till we see any big CME's.
Thread: New data from the Space Weather Prediction Center (SWPC) shows cosmic winter is here.

This

Or I guess this. Lol

You have some serious stalker love going...

That does happen.

:makatch:

The truth to why I started talking about Iridium in this thread is behind the magic of the word.

I just picked a word that came to mind and threw it out there to see what would happen.

:magic:

And here I was looking for physical resonance. Lol

Good to see you and Xen

I hope our Canadian friend V is doing well

Do I know a Canadian V?

I've been gone from GLP for 3 years, and 22 different timelines have changed since then.

Physical resonance would need a small piece to test out. Am guessing the process of buying a piece would be dubious

Did you post as a different user before?

I know a GLP user that has 22 lbs of it.

At $1000 per ounce that would be worth $352,000

A very small piece would suffice

Yeah that seems like a lot. Maybe it was 22 ounces.

There is a thread about it.

It's funny because they considered it almost useless.

It's hard to turn into something useful for industrial purposes. You have to have an arc furnace or some fancy equipment to do so because it's not a reactive metal.

It's hard to work into Jewelry because it's too brittle I believe. It needs to be mixed with platinum.

Also with the human body you have to take platinum at the same time to increase the absorption rate.

Still I would like to have an iridium ring. If it must be muddled down my platinum, okay.

I would use it like a crystal for healing

Let's do that, you get a ring and I'll get a small piece. We can compare notes. Hopefully we can get it somehow in the near future

I miss my saint smiley I used for GLP healing.

I was thinking a ring for when I get married to Taylor Swift, but maybe I could get an ounce to play with.

I'll have to get some platinum too. And maybe a meteorite to inlay into it.

script the flip

uh oh


:)

counting up now.

lol

Taylor?
