I wonder if this geomagnetic storm is setting off fire evacuation alarms in the city, or if people are just extra unlucky burning their toast this morning.
Did the grid get messed up? I ran around plugging in all the battery packs last night haha
Yeah I wonder if there have been any anomalous readings at the peer companies. But as far as I know nothing much yet except aurora
I can't call in any strategems.
That community basically cyber bullied Sony into retracting that requirement lol
There has not been a particularly high volume of alarms this morning, it must just be randomly near you.
Just an unlucky streak for the buildings near me I guess.
Geomagnetic what what? I feel like I'm constantly out of the loop these days. Downside of never watching the news ig
It's nothing too crazy or worrisome. We're just in the path of a few strong sun farts, the kind that make aurora more visible and can sometimes mess with electronics on earth.
