and i keep telling certain "friends" to come to my place in case of issues

so i can take their stuff and toss them out

friends with "toys" that go BANG are welcome and safe

yup, i'm evil and not stupid!!! LOL

Yeah - good ones!

Last point: Good advice. Thanks

they are external to the chips, so i do not believe they will protect the chips themselves
so that is a problem

yes, circuits powered off can be damaged
you need a faraday cage of some type

walmart sells faraday wrap

i have an old metal storage locker, it is steel, magnetic
most of my stuff is in that, stuff that does not fit is in faraday bags from eBay or wrapped in faraday cloth

hell, i have several old computers/laptops safe, wrapped. and spare stuff that will stay wrapped in case there is another EMP.

solar flares have come way too close in recent months, a warning

and remember, if you have stuff after, do not make it too apparent, you do not want to be a target

EXPENSIVE!
BUT, am I to assume that these traps set up a faraday like block on the wires?
As I question that, about 12 more questions come to mind.
Going back to the Carrington event, even the telegraph offices that weren't "electrically on" suffered damage as well. (These were grounded systems from a grounded source and not drawing current.) Leads me to think that high current Electricity will be attracted to any electrically conductive substances regardless of whether they are complete systems or not. (the whole purpose of grounding is to give the electricity a way out of the system - or to return to it's source)

yes

i am not sure how much i believe in them, based on my understanding of what a EMP does.
the EMP sets up local electric currents in the chips, so i am passing on buying EMP kits for my cars, there are more important things, like heat for winter, solar panels to recharge stuff, small generator and fuel for it, indoor safe propane heaters, optics and night vision, ect

For vehicles?, really, haven't looked but didn't think it possible unless in a shelter of some sort.

Read some year back that the electronics in cars and personal electronics is too small to be affected but I think a really strong CME is gona get your stuff anyway; not to mention the Solar Micro Nova which will be so electrical magnetically hot as to bring most things back to their pre physical components.

i have protected as much as i can for my home
EMP bags and wrap

you can buy stuff to protect vehicles, but that is last on my list

i prepped for this coming election

Not to mention that the SUN can do the same thing, and will at any given moment, which is why we should shift away from reliance on such things.

we continue to buy chips from China

chips used in all kind of things

in vehicles, they could all be turned off at the worse time (in a war)

did we not learn anything from exploding pagers????

Shall I do something like that with the Middle East? Of course.
5,000 years ago, Jews invented the toilet seat. Mohammed took the idea, but didn't want it to be associated with Jews. That's why the Muslim version has no big hole in the middle.

From the liver to the knee.

i still have one
the damned place i work for, they took our phones back, fine, i am NOT using my phone for their stuff
page me

Now, many fewer exist in the Middle East.

Raising my Hand #8 I remember how to page number please !!!!

Funny how quickly the BB meme made you realize Kamala doesn't answer tough questions. She spins (pun intended)

Kabala: The answer to the question: "Is anyone dumber than Joe BuyDumb?
And by-the-way, has anyone seen Old Joey around lately?
I hear his old lady is running the office.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't the VP supposed to step in when the President is unfit for duty?
That would normally be the case, except the VP is less capable then the guy with Dementia.

The electric toothbrush is magical!

BTW, you know the toothbrush was invented in WVa, right? If it was invented anywhere else it would be the "teethbrush" -- I can say this, since both parents are from WVa, and I lived there a long time. No offense. It is a cool state, the only one begun due to the Civil War!

Who uses pagers? I stopped using them in the 90's when cell phones hit it the scene. I didn't realize they still exist.

NO!!! Not too soon! Outstanding offering, OUC. Every single one of them is great. Thanks!

Word of warning. Never, NEVER sip tea while reading memes! The seriousness of the subject takes nothung away from the need to laugh and chalk one up for the Israeli will to survive. A great set ouc!

Priceless collage of humor and wisdom you got here, OUC! The very first one with Ben Lindell and MyPager had me laughing right out of the starting gate! Love Netanyahu's answer, LMAO! Yeah, someone page that woman, I'm pretty sure it is anyway. How are the nuts getting radicalized, uh-huh? Yes, RIP Janes Earl Jones. Thanks for a wonderful collection this week, OUC!

Ain't got no pager.
Shore as hell no want no pager.
No, not ever!
You got pager?
Git thet frickin' thang ther hell away from me!

loved the road runner references and RIP James Earl Jones

please understand just what the exploding pagers mean for air travel

think about it
