Other utilities in North America and Northern Europe and elsewhere implemented programs to reduce the risks associated with geomagnetically induced currents (GICs)

I too whistled at the Aurora Borealis to encourage them. It was legend that if you were overzealous, then the lights could become agitated and come down and cut off your head.

I am from Interior Alaska. Later in life, I heard this same story from someone from Gambell, Alaska in the Bering Sea. That is when it dawned on me, that if you are outside whistling for too long, someone/something might come and cut off your head. Interior Alaskans and Coastal Alaskans used to kidnap each other with enough regularity to give precedence to such legends.

Cloudflare Workers and KV @ the Edge can do a lot to manage the control plane.

Journalism is getting worse, because the market has changed/evaporated. It is another race to the bottom.

There are more journalists in prisons than ever before.

Attention is a currency and we are easily distracted.
