    Massive global computer outage of virtually everything

    Major airlines, medical facilities, businesses and police forces around the world are currently being affected by a massive information technology glitch caused by a problem with Microsoft cloud computing services early Friday.

    CrowdStrike, the U.S. cybersecurity company behind the glitch that affects Microsoft Windows users, says that the outage “is not a security incident or cyberattack” and has now issued a solution.

    Drink before the war part 2

    On June 17th, we and many others reported on a man being hailed as the modern Nostradamus, who predicted the start of World War III. The very next day, on the date he specified, Russian President Vladimir Putin visited North Korea.

    And now we have this earthly develop just days after:

    Russia said on Sunday that the United States was responsible for a Ukrainian attack on the Russian-annexed Crimean peninsula with five U.S.-supplied missiles that killed four people, including two children, and injured 151 more.

    The Russian Defence Ministry said four of the U.S.-delivered Army Tactical Missile System (ATACMS) missiles, equipped with cluster warheads, were shot down by air defence systems and the ammunition of a fifth had detonated in mid-air.

    The great American noclipse: Forecasts for cloudy skies cast shadow over North American solar eclipse

    Think of this.. the sunbelt will be cloudy and the cloudiest state in April–maine–set to have 100% clear skies with the best viewing of the eclipse. Funny how fate and life work out.

    Much of Texas, considered prime eclipse-viewing territory by many traveling there for the occasion, was predicted in forecast models on Friday to have cloud cover of 60%-80% on eclipse day.

    Parts of northern New England, by comparison, looked far more promising. The probability for clear skies was also improving across the middle Mississippi Valley and western Ohio Valley, including Indianapolis, according to the National Weather Service.

    “I’m pretty disappointed,” Gary Fine, 81, a retired photographer from Los Angeles who booked air fare and hotel reservations for Dallas several months ago, said on Friday as packed for his trip

  • Eerie timing: It was just the anniversary of the Francis Scott Key bridge opening for traffic in 1977

    Eerie timing: It was just the anniversary of the Francis Scott Key bridge opening for traffic in 1977

    The timing of this Maryland Transportation Authority post was 3 days before the Francis Scott Key Bridge was hit by a boat and collapsed..

    Three days ago it was mentioned that it was the anniversary of the bridge being opened for traffic in 1977..

    The historical reminder post also mentions that the bridge stood in just about the exact same place where Francis Scott Key repeatedly saw the military bombardment that inspired  him to write the Star Spangled Banner..

    Videos of the event are exceptionally sad and scary. Those who lost their lives never saw it coming. Those who narrowly missed death undoubtedly  have a renewed fear or a new fear that they did not previously have.

    It is like Final Destination.. in real life.

    May those who died rest in peace ..

    Francis Scott Key Bridge collapse: Rescuers are searching for as many as 20 people in Patapsco River, official says

    Baltimore bridge collapses after being struck by ship.

    The waters are currently 49 degrees..

    No indication of terrorism..

    Dramatic footage revealed.

    Baltimore is facing a possible “mass casualty” incident after a ship collided with the Francis Scott Key Bridge early Tuesday, causing the bridge to collapse and sending as many as 20 people into the frigid water, a fire official told CNN.

    Divers and search and rescue teams are looking for people in the Patapsco River after several vehicles are believed to have fallen into the water, including one as large as a tractor-trailer, said Kevin Cartwright, director of communications of the Baltimore City Fire Department..

    Null, the water is believed to be about 49° and is being controlled by a current rescue. Workers are apprehensive at the moment to go back into the water due to the darkness ans tide coming back in.

    In the meantime, this situation remains tragic and developing.

    The Princess of Wales is being treated for cancer, she announced tonight in a video message.

    The future queen is currently undergoing a course of chemotherapy that started in February, Kensington Palace announced. Kate, 42, was admitted to hospital on January 16 for “major abdominal surgery”, which has been confirmed as successful.

    At the time of her operation it was thought that her condition was non-cancerous, as no tests had confirmed the presence of cancer.

    However, post-operative tests confirmed that cancer had been present

    AI with the devil

    The horror flick LATE NIGHT WITH THE DEVIL has been gaining some fan traction. But suddenly that came to a screeching halt when some noticed AI. Art was being used in the film..

    A few even called for a boycott on social media…

    Cameron and Colin Cairnes, the Australian siblings who wrote and directed the film, released a statement to Variety clarifying the scope of AI art in the film. The statement reads:

    “In conjunction with our amazing graphics and production design team, all of whom worked tirelessly to give this film the 70s aesthetic we had always imagined, we experimented with AI for three still images which we edited further and ultimately appear as very brief interstitials in the film. We feel incredibly fortunate to have had such a talented and passionate cast, crew and producing team go above and beyond to help bring this film to life. We can’t wait for everyone to see it for themselves this weekend.”

  • New worries over April total solar eclipse

    New worries over April total solar eclipse

    Call it the new version of y2k.. the fear over the April total solar eclipse leading to blackouts–not of the sun but of electric on the ground..

    During the April 8, 2024, total solar eclipse, the path of totality in the continental U.S. will extend from Texas in the south to Maine in the northeast. Elsewhere in the U.S., Miami will see a partial eclipse in which a maximum of 46% of the Sun’s disk is obscured. In Seattle, far from the path of totality, the Moon will cover only a maximum of 20% of the Sun. In southern Texas, where the path of totality first crosses into the U.S., the eclipse will last just under three hours, with totality a mere 4 minutes and 27 seconds.

    This story about these April 8 eclipse fear is making rounds, with this as the main point:

    To plan for an eclipse, electrical system operators need to figure out how much the energy production will drop and how much power people will draw from the reserves. On the day of the 2017 total solar eclipse, for example, solar power generation in the U.S. dropped 25% below average.

    Because solar power production falls quickly during the eclipse’s peak, grid operators may need to tap into reserves at a rate that may strain the electrical transmission lines. To try to keep things running smoothly, grid operators will rely on local reserves and minimize power transfer between grids during the event. This should lessen the burden on transmission lines in local grids and prevent temporary blackouts.

    We will survive. No panic..
