"My concern is that if too many people gather together in one spot to watch the eclipse, the Earth will tip over." - Hank Johnson

Capsize….

Sorry Hank I'll update the wiki page. :D

Maybe vampires are going to emerge and attack everyone once darkness hits.

Buy toilet paper now, niggers

Theres a woman in california who has a storage unit still full from covid. Plus totes full of bleach and lysol. People went nuts.

[ - ] BloodyComet 2 points 1 monthMar 25, 2024 17:42:15 ago (+2/-0)

Well, if stored properly, I suppose you will get around to using all that stuff eventually. It's not like toilet paper expires.

Having a pantry full of non-perishables is nice. When I run out of something, I just cycle something out of the pantry and write it down on the fridge's white-board.

If there's a run on something stupid like toilet paper, I just ignore it and buy when things become available again.

Was just reading that bleach starts going bad after 6 months or so. I mostly went with canned foods. But bleach itself became very hard to buy for awhile there. And it used to be like $9 for 3 gallons before the hoax.

How can bleach go bad? It’s like saying alcohol goes bad after six months lol

[ - ] Sector2 1 point 1 monthMar 26, 2024 12:11:13 ago (+1/-0)

After a year, the natural breakdown of the sodium hypochlorite bleach into salt and water rapidly accelerates, and the active ingredient concentration becomes too low for EPA registered uses like sanitizing or disinfecting.

And after a year it's not very bleachy anymore.

Well, fanks. TIL

Have fun with this.

I'm a pilot and plane owner. My airport sent this out to everyone with a plane at the airport. Never seen this before. Sent 2-28

I got this today.

(Airport) Tenants,



On April 8, 2024, a total solar eclipse, known as the “Great North American Eclipse” will transit a narrow path of totality from southwest to northeast across thirteen U.S. states. The eclipse will cross North America, passing over Mexico, the United States, and Canada. The total solar eclipse will begin over the South Pacific Ocean. The eclipse path will impact the United States from approximately 1830-1940 UTC.

The purpose of this notice is to inform airmen of the possible impacts to air traffic and airports along the eclipse path during the period April 7, 2024, 1000 UTC through April 10, 2024, 0400 UTC.

GENERAL

Aircraft should be prepared for potential airborne holding, reroutes, and/or Expect Departure Clearance Times (EDCTs) that may be issued for all domestic IFR arrivals and departures. Traffic Management Initiatives (TMIs) are possible. In order to assist FBOs with staging aircraft and to ease ramp congestion, aircraft departing airports along the eclipse path are strongly encouraged to coordinate their departure times as early as possible.

There may be a higher traffic volume than normal anticipated at airports along the path of the eclipse. Traffic should anticipate delays during peak traffic periods. Parking may be limited – particularly at the smaller, uncontrolled airports. There could be a delay with issuance of IFR departure clearances. VFR departures may also expect delays for airborne pickup of IFR clearance within 50 NM either side of the path of the eclipse.

Practice approaches, touch-and-goes, flight following services and pilot training operations at airports in the path of the eclipse may be extremely limited and possibly prohibited during this time period,

Airmen should check NOTAMs carefully for special procedures/restrictions that may be in place at affected airports. Specific NOTAM procedures may be revised, and arrivals to some airports possibly restricted so please review NOTAMs frequently to verify you have the current information.

For further information see the NASA Science website.

SECURITY PROVISIONS

Special security provisions may be in effect for this event, including, but not limited to, Temporary Flight Restrictions (TFRs), two-way radio communications, and discrete transponder requirements.

Specific NOTAM procedures may be revised, and arrivals to some airports possibly restricted so please review NOTAMs frequently to verify you have the current information.

TFRs are normally disseminated via FDC NOTAM, 3 to 5 days prior to the event. Once published, text and graphic depictions of the restrictions may be accessed at: http://tfr.faa.gov/tfr2/list.html.

VFR OPERATIONS

Due to the high volume of traffic along the eclipse path, VFR arrivals can expect lengthy delays during peak traffic periods. In addition, VFR departures should not expect to obtain an airborne pickup of IFR clearance within 50 NM either side of the path of the eclipse.

Comment about flight and IFR vs VFR during an eclipse.

------------------------------------------------------

We've had national meetings at the FAA regarding the eclipse and how to best handle it. The best ideas are to just post notams about congestion in the airports in the vicinity and hope for the best.

We discussed flight restrictions and they were shot down.

Not to be grim, but we were all amazed that no one died after 2017. It was a mess. We had to cut flight following to the majority of planes as they approached the popular areas. IFR got put in holding away from the area of total darkness due to sector saturation. That caused most to go vfr. We had so many targets that you couldn't keep them apart if you tried. Half the pilots sounded like they hadn't flown in years but brushed off their license to get up that day

From a safety standpoint, flying that day will be considerably more dangerous than any other. ATC will be able to accommodate a very small number of requests. You will probably be on your own within 100 miles of the area of totality.

Very cool. Thanks

Might as well just watch the eclipse from the ground rather than trying to fly during that time.

They're trying to trigger another market panic, for whatever reason. Could just be for practice, or to cover some gayop.

personally think nothing will happen. i'm already seen some fucktards saying that they are doing this because of nibiru/planet x lol

This eclipse probably is meaningful. Not for me. Probably not for you. But we need to remember that it does not matter if you or me believe it. It matters if they believe it. And they do believe a lot of crazy shit.

[ - ] dosvydanya_freedomz [op] 1 point 1 monthMar 25, 2024 18:42:49 ago (+1/-0)

And they do believe a lot of crazy shit

i hear you

[ - ] Prairie 0 points 1 monthMar 25, 2024 21:47:07 ago (+0/-0)

Meaningful? It will just be an interesting experience.

[ - ] Illsithereandlaugh 2 points 1 monthMar 26, 2024 09:52:08 ago (+2/-0)

As I said, it is not important that you do not believe it. It may not be meaningful to you. This eclipse path will cross the United States on the first day of the year on the Hebrew calendar. https://www.hebcal.com/holidays/rosh-chodesh-nisan-2024 For us, it may not mean anything. For them, it might. Just like sacrificing Red Heifers.

I didn't realize that. Better have my jew-dar adjusted on high sensitivity.

How long do they think eclipses last anyway?

[ - ] dulcima 1 point 1 monthMar 25, 2024 17:18:55 ago (+1/-0)

Sounds like this one is going to last five years! 😱

Shit, not bad advice. When there's a freeze potential people stock up too and the shelves become empty. I'm going to be driving a out of the city for totality and should plan on some alternate locations away from potential traffic. And avoid the 'groid.

I know what I’m stocking up on.

I have a wading pool of suckermouth catfish. it's more ecologically responsible than TP.
