What if a solar flare knocks out the grid!

[KonaRain]

The internet is based in the U.S.

(mostly). Can Thailand isolate it's internet from the others?

A strong solar flare can knock out the electrical grid in U.S. or Asia depending on rotation of the Earth!

[kannot]

solar flare or ice age? Im voting meteor strike, no eruption

Thailands internet is crap anyway, the speed might improve if a solar flare hit!!

[geronimo]

well there are a million and one "What ifs",and my answer to this one is "I don't know"

Well the whole story is... There's a certain radio show on all night on the US mainland started by Art Bell... Pahrumpf Nevada. which now has 500 affiliates.they have shows about the economic meltdown so when people talk about zombies and melt down, it came from that show..coast to coast am. (.com)..So now the host George Noory is trying to do something good which is to harden the American electrical grid.A Solar Flare just hit our orbit last year or so, and if it would have s*** just a little sooner as the Sun turned around it would have hit us, and would have destroyed our satellites or would knock out the grid . Look up the Carrington Event in 1859. depending on rotation of the earth in Asia or America, it would light up Thailand electrical lines!..so my answer to the last post is why don't you popularize in Thailand to harden it's Internet so it will work even if America's went down..

I want to return..and will save our music on Thai Tube.. Why depend on the world's internet? Come o Thailand?! I'm sitting here outside in my Hawaiian forest braving mosquitoes hoping I can make you guys laugh

Aloha

The better question is how did mosquitoes get to Hawaii?

Captain Cooks water barrel, refilled in Mexico..Okay, it probably was not Cook.

They burned and stripped his bones

then gave 'em back..

sorry just train of thought..

Thailands internet is isolated from the rest for censorship.

But what would you do with a Thailand only internet?

The zombie apocalypse started in Nana Plaza - there was an earlier thread on this topic, if your search skills are up to it

- there. That didn't take long.

How would we search for old posts if the grid went down?

Running out of elec. juice soon..(me)..

It would be Thailand only if the" American " one fails..

Then we may be using it to pay bills in LOS..

Not likely?

I still think Thailand could harden the grid and internet.

If an EMT or Solar flare cooks the US grid, we'd be back in the 1800's

so they say..

Thailand could be the last modern country?

Where are my emoticons??

I'd be all for the 1800's when many/most Thai women went topless every day.

I like tits. Big, small droopy or tall.

They give me shivers when they bounce around. Puckered up or dragging on the ground.

Solar flare taking out the "grid"? What grid? electricity? Then your worries would be far more urgent than " What at happened to my Internet connectivity? ". Internet is not segregated from other forms of national or international communication protocols. Large solar flare? Satellites go out first, cell phones second, then electricity... so there goes it all.

on row boats?

The 1859 Carrington event caused by a CME was significant, and could happen today with large consequences. Probably not worrying about unless it happens again as there is not much you can do about it besides fret.

You are so silly,every one knows Mosquito arms are to short for rowboats , I bet they sailed there

They were going to use powerboats but were concerned of solar flairs

Be good. I'll have several hours a day to do on real stuff, instead of feeding my addiction to gossip on TVF.

Cell phones go out- excellent. I'll be able to run around laughing at all the smartphone zombies that have lost the will to live because they can't talk to their imaginary "friends" anymore or twatter on facecrap.

[chingmai331]

'facecrap', +1.

[sipi]

I guess we will go back to cooking on charcoal and making communal announcements on large speaker towers at 5am.

Oh hang on, we do that already.

[slipperylobster]

Better question is...what would we do if we had no internet or cellphone?

1. Sit outside with the family and discuss the latest and greatest family news and gossip.

2. Exercise and do other outside activities

3. Save all our tech dollars in the bank and buy commodities and precious metals, thus making us rich.

4. Improve our people skills, and stop trolling on thai visa

5. Stay married longer (no facebook or dating sights to get in trouble with)

6. Have more sex, as now our wives would start looking sexy...after 3 days with no porn.

I remember the days before tv, never mind the internet etc. Families used to eat together and discuss stuff, listen to the radio together, do hobbies, read, go for walks, play sport instead of watching it on the box, play board games together. Kids used to go and play with friends, not hide in a dark room and pretend to study while actually watching porn.

Less violence, less family breakdown, kids weren't freaks with imaginary friends, or bullying other kids on the internet.

No calculators either so people in shops actually had to do maths in their head to work out that 4 items at 20 baht each is 80 baht and you get 20 baht change from a 100 baht note.

Did we really do well to surrender to the internet so easily?

On the other hand, if not for the internet, I wouldn't know that all those lovely ladies with big boobs that advertise on TV are willing to make my life complete, so not all bad then .

Electromagnetic radiation, solar flairs do indeed effect the internet indirectly, ever here in Thailand.

These Solar Storms have been getting worse and more frequent lately. They also seem to correlate to my internet speed and access here in Asia.

You can get a daily report on this from Space Weather site.
