I'm actually not laughing I do wish to choose to believe that human civilization can survive a carrington esque event

iirc the lying machine said something about recent satellite launches maybe a couple years ago? to help set up an early warning system in case there's a solar flare that's Gonna Do That and iirc it said something like it would give government organizations and power operators at least a few minutes to turn off and disconnect critical equipment, plus other stuff

based on the state of the Texas power grid it's 100% cope but sometimes a little self delusion is necessary to stave off existential dread so I didn't interrogate those claims

i'm referring to the lying machine; it carries the same lies that westerners like to repeat to each other.
