<p>Europe is big. From a German POV Sturmey Archer were exotics, and allegedly not that good compared against anything (well maintained) by Fichtel&Sachs. I don't even remember what was on my early road bikes anymore, but certain it was neither Campagnolo or Shimano.<p>Later on I rode Campagnolo, they were reliable and easy to maintain. Anything Shimano I cursed and avoided like the plague. Because that was sensitive shit, not good to maintain, and degraded fast. It was like it was made to be thrown away after few uses, just to save a few grams.<p>All that aside, this gave you a real advantage: <a href="https://connexchain.com/en/" rel="nofollow">https://connexchain.com/en/</a> :-) They were called different at the time, just Wipperman maybe, but didn't really matter.<p>You just asked your dealer for the good chains made in Solingen, and got these.</p>

<p>> but we can't do that with the Sun.<p>Can't we really? AFAIUI it's mostly charged particles coming in relatively slow, or rather us/Earth entering their path, like walking into a lawn sprinkler.<p>Not Gamma-, or X-Rays hitting us directly at the speed of light in direct line of sight.<p>Now imagine a cluster of satellites which puts them in orbit between us, and the Sun, or rather enough of them in front of Earths surface at dawn. Because that side is 'forward' on Earths track around the Sun.<p>These sats could be mostly dormant, to be set in rotation, unspooling really long thin wires, electrically charged by whichever means. Like a giant electromagnetic umbrella. Slowing the stuff down, or diverting it outright.<p>I think that would be valuable, even if they would have to be discarded after 'one time use'.</p>

<p>We've experienced nothing like Carrington-event scale after that happened. Luckily so, I think.<p>Then there are things like <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miyake_event" rel="nofollow">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miyake_event</a> which we have located several traces of in geological records. They are at least a magnitude stronger than anything which Carrington carried. And statistically long overdue.<p>If one of these happened today, that would be a really <i>interesting</i> experience.</p>

<p>Funny. Just tested that because I'm always told: too complicated, nothing will work!<p>And got no check at all.<p>Edit: Maybe it depends on where you come from, or what they think you come from. Or using VPN. Wrong browser with insufficient base for uBo. uBo configured wrong. (Not?) using an ad-blocking DNS-Server, so that shit doesn't even make it to your local uBo?<p>Tested from Hamburg, Germany via private tunnel from my home in Colorado, which also works.</p>
