Wow.
IF THIS IS TRUE it's rather terrifying.
I'd not heard of "dark lightning" (so I will do some digging
Not a threat to people on ground but possibly to planes that get close to thunderstorms.
Little gamma ray bursts. Any exposure to gamma radiation is very bad.

@ucantstop_me well we should have more trains anyways, but I find that pretty amazing. Always something to learn.
@ucantstop_me
Damn... Just another reason not to fly...
Ass of the seat pitch issues weren't enough for me... 😊
@InvaderGzim lol. I haven't needed to fly since my last flight March 8th 2020 where I was one of 3 passengers masked (n95)
When tracing of cases first started they'd tell us where infected ppl were, and covid was in the airport the evening before I left lol
Bur not many were paying attention back then.

Chuckling... Last night... I told someone that I stopped going to the office on Feb 1, 2020.
They looked at me and said, Before the pandemic started?
I looked back and said, you mean before you or the media considered out one?? It started well before that date...
Sigh...
@InvaderGzim hahahaha! Yes it did start well before lol.
I was lucky, did not have to get used to working from home because I've been working from home for 20 years. So, well before covid lol
@ucantstop_me All ionizing radiation is dangerous. It's why I do not like the USG allowing US dentists to use x-ray like the shoe measuring fluoroscopes of yore. It's an uncollimated tube head pointed at your thyroid and retinas to ring doctor's cash register, it's total bullshit.
