Iranian president says its time to end the war
[Answer: No, terrorists are NOT able to cause a US blackout by targeting power transformers - as a result of 9/11 US has STEP and Grid Assurance with large stockpiles of spare transformers in secret warehouses to replace any damaged - the New York Times article never mentions this - fails the most basic fact check - to post:] ◀ Power grid shutting down and water being rationed?
[Answer: YES as with all the Flock stories it is HUGELY hyped up in social media - in reality - one case of a car journalist - not arrested at gunpoint - stopped by four police cars with flashing lights as a suspected stolen vehicle - due to license plate reading error - Flock REQUIRES POLICE TO CHECK THE LICENSE PLATES MATCH VISUALLY BEFORE A STOP - the police didn't do that in this case - Flock updated policies include default of only 7 days to keep the data and requiring case numbers for all license plate look up by the end of the year - to post:] ◀ Flock cameras
Peaceful videos from where I live - weaving through trees beside the stream - and sheep (7 breeds some rare breeds in the small flock)

[Answer: A solar storm can't cause a blackout at all with modern generators - and at most a few hours downtime for older generators that switch themselves off unnecessarily - this was sorted out years ago but many have not yet caught up in advances in grid resilience to solar storms - to post:] ◀ I keep seeing posts about a 18 month long blackout across the entire country. Im calling bullshit but it still very much worries me

[Answer: Fast bipedal machines that resemble humans in shape are just machines - like fast wheeled machines - but will need to be very safe around old people and babies before they are common in society - because current models are heavy enough to cause damage and can fall over - to post:] ◀ This scares me
