Two minutes early here in my neck of the woods. Guess .gov can't tell time. RMD TL Davis: “The Second Amendment is special, not because it protects guns, but because its violation signals a government with the intention to oppress its people…” Remember: After the first one, the rest are free. | |||

Yeppers, 2 minutes early. I guess that's better than 2 minutes late. People who said everything was turned off. Just side button switched off, or device fully powered down? | |||

Me once, 2 minutes early. My wife's phone. 3 times so far. Won't go away. The alert, not my wife If you're goin' through hell, keep on going. Don't slow down. If you're scared don't show it. You might get out before the devil even knows you're there. NRA ENDOWMENT LIFE MEMBER | |||

As of this writing, only received the WARNING over the TV (satellite connection). Haven’t received anything else, over my iPad (which I’m currently using), nor over my hard-wire landline phone, nor my weather alert monitor. Since the alert was for a 1/2 hour duration, guess we’ll see if other media activations happen within that time. What’s the flight time for missiles from Russia, 1/2 hour? --------------------- DJT-45/47 MAGA !!!!!

A big nothing. I just clicked the button on the right side of my phone, the one that would send a call to voicemail, and the noise stopped. They do this every few years and the news made it sound like this one was something extra special. I guess not. Another made up "breaking news" type non-event. ___________________________ Avoid buying ChiCom/CCP products whenever possible. | |||

ok, so the carriers have to send it but as a private user, and the one who pays the bills, I said I don't want it so why did I get it had all my alerts turned off - don't give a flying fuck about amber alerts and all that horseshit so why do I not have control over a device that I've paid for | |||

Because the .gov controls the airwaves the carriers use, and forced them to push it (much like they do with the TV providers). The .gov is finally wise to the fact that not as many people listen to radio or watch live TV anymore, so they needed a new way to push national alerts. This is the new way. I shall respect you until you open your mouth, from that point on, you must earn it yourself. | |||
