Thanks for the info. I assume the unclassified E1 number is within the capability of a crude weapon like N. Korea might have if they launch it high enough?

“Yet, here you are blathering on how EMP is so real and will kill us all. You with your Internet nerd EMP and the global warming nuts are all alike.”

Sorry Skippy, you’re wrong again. Now put on your dunce cap, sit in the corner and shut up and let the adults deal with problems you are not equipped to understand because you are too stubborn to read the definitive source material you’ve been given.

Read this, you big dummy, then we can talk.

I won’t go into who the author is. But if you are really too stupid to click on this link and read and (try) to understand that there is really no support for your incorrect view then all reason,science, and logic is beyond your grasp.

Then I be delighted to chat with you on the subject as a newly educated and informed person. Plus I can stop laughing at you which just hurts my sides.

>> Do you have any first-hand experience with EMP effects? <<

Nope.

Moreover, I have never traveled to the Moon.

But still, I can assure you that the Moon is not made of Green Cheese.

Blah, blah, blah.

You, you global warming idiots, you Flat-Earth morons, and all the other Internet conspiracy nerds are not going to get us to read your retarded explanations.

You twist yourselves into pretzels trying to come to your childish conclusions.

So.....you still can’t click the link and dispell your ignorance?

You just complain. The link is definitive mathematical proof of EMP, it correlates within a percent or two with actual nuclear test data.

You are embarrassing yourself. Stop posting while stupid. Read, educate yourself.

Lol....and who exactly is “us”? So far it looks it’s just you.

Anyone with curious skepticism has probably clicked the link and been enlightened.

Except for you.

It’s one thing to be just wrong.

It’s an entirely new quantum of stupid to be wrong on purpose because you refuse to read a paper that proves you are wrong.

You can always tell when a thread is about to be overrun by green-cheese deniers.

Although heckling you is a satisfying pastime, it’s not my primary occupation here. I actually do have some first-hand experience with the topic, and I’ll share some basic preps. First, pour a 6” thick slab of borated concrete for your foundation. If you don’t know about borated concrete, ask.

Then build a 12’ by 18’ metal building atop your new slab... Metal roof and all.
Equip your new EMP garage with the following.
Four air tight jerry-cans of stabilized gasoline, 4 quarts of diesel fuel in individual jars, two dry (unactivated) automotive batteries with the required sulphuric acid in a separate container, your portable generator set, one hot-dip galvanized 30 gallon garbage can with a lid, and one 60’s to early 70’s VW beetle.

Cut the fenders off the beetle (baja buggy style) and mount 4 Goodyear wrangler LT tires (235/75R 15) on the rims.
Pack the galvanized garbage can with a two-way radio of some sort and an electric can opener and put the lid on. Don’t forget to pack an antenna.

Put all of this in the garage and close the door. Now you’re as EMP proof as you’ll ever need to be.

When the next Carrington event occurs, open the garage, fuel your genset and plug in your can opener. Open a can of beans and enjoy. After your nutritious meal, fuel your buggy, (1 jerry-can of fuel plus one quart of diesel),activate (fill) and install one of your automotive batteries. If it requires a top-off charge, use the battery charger you thoughtfully packed in your garbage can with lid...

Drive your fully functional baja buggy (off roading as necessary) until you see a farmhouse with an old tractor parked near the barn.

Stop and ask that man what to do.

You’re now an EMP survivor.

You’re welcome.

If PWS were a statutory felony, who even dares to guess what percentage of FReepers would be in the clink?

Well, back in 1966-67, my job occasionally involved studying the effects of nuclear weapons, and EMP was a well-known phenomenon to us even in those long ago days of yore.

But I guess I wouldn’t claim “first-hand experience” unless I had been somewhere like Johnson Island during the test explosion in 1962 that some people think made the street lights flicker in Hawaii.

Same here, where as we use it to spread info, they are addicted. On a daily average I might use my phone once to make a call, ROBOS’s don’t count they get hung up on.

Instead of my boys visiting, I get a TXT, which is OK to say we are on the way. But 15 min visits are not OK. I turn 70 in 3 months, they best take the few good years I have left and make the most of them. I know how bad I miss my mom and dad and it’s been close to 2 decades.

As I said, I have some first-hand experience with the subject at hand.

I don’t think you’re supposed to ask that question - it would be racist.

Now if this happened under a white Republican President, then...
