oh I know how to make a poll's results look like the letter E watch this

what is the rightmost digit of the number of responses this poll has right now? (it should be visible before you vote.)

0, 1, or 2

3

4 or 5

6

7, 8, or 9

Remaining time: 6 days 13 hours

#ohh this is a fun one

the set of ships is nonempty and finite

(any reasonable notion of) size induces a total order on the set of equivalence classes of ships of the same size

every nonempty finite total order has a maximum

there exists a ship that is no smaller than any other ship

SWPC forecasts strong G3 geomagnetic storms for June 4th & 5th, due to 3 intersecting CMEs headed towards Earth. The CMEs don't appear to be particularly strong individually, but we've seen over the past few geomagnetic storms that interacting CMEs can amplify each other exponentially. Looking at the forecast models myself, the earliest possible impact time will probably be at 24 hours from now, and most likely later than that. SWPC should release a more precise 3-hourly forecast later today.

The next two nights will have a short window of moonless dark skies at the very beginning of the night, before the bright waning gibbous moon lights up the sky. There is a chance for aurora at mid-latitudes, but the window of opportunity will probably be pretty small for most people.

Onset of geomagnetic storm is forecast for June 4th 15:00-18:00 UTC. Period of strongest storming is expected to occur between June 4th 15:00 and June 5th 09:00 UTC. The forecast predicts 51% chance for G3 or greater storms for both June 4th and 5th, meaning the cumulative chance for G3 or greater storms to be reached on either day is 76%. The forecast discussion also notes: "There is a chance for isolated periods of G4 (Severe) geomagnetic storming during the peak of the multi-CME passage over 04-05 June." G4 geomagnetic storming could make this another major aurora event.

18:00 UTC has passed without any signs of a CME impact yet. Looking at STEREO imagery, I'm guessing the first CME will reach Earth in maybe 2-6 hours from now, but won't be very strong on its own. The 2nd and 3rd CMEs should follow a few hours after the 1st, and those will trigger the strongest geomagnetic storms of this event. There is a possibility that one of the CMEs misses Earth to the north however.

ok none of the CMEs have arrived yet still
