Good to see you're out and about, Phage.
Seems like the solar activity is ramping up. Just like the predictions...
There's a theory that if the sun emits a large enough flare, the earths magnetosphere will be destroyed leaving it immune to the rays of the sun.
And flipping the N/S poles.
Another doom and gloom theory. But, it could be right.
And, it would cause massive destruction.
