Trump wrote off California so I'm sure he doesn't give a shit.

mr kablammoLadies and gentlemen, we interrupt our program of dance music to bring you a special bulletin from the Intercontinental Radio News. At twenty minutes before eight, central time, Professor Farrell of the Mount Jennings Observatory, Chicago, Illinois, reports observing several explosions of incandescent gas, occurring at regular intervals on the planet Mars.

Johnny 3eaglesMy wife and I were in the same place at the time. She got the message, I did not. Therefore, Trump likes my wife, but not me

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.

When the alert came through today I found myself wondering what would happen if somebody hacked that system and sent out something like "NORAD has just detected 1800 incoming Russian ICBMs."

I was driving by myself and it scared the crap out of me as I have my phone connected to my audio system for music and got the blaring emergency alert out of nowhere. I wondered how many people got it at the exact same time just as you described being in a store and everyone’s phone went off at the same time with the alert.

flashguyI didn't get a message. Of course, my flip phone was turned off, so that probably is the reason.

parabellumI didn't open this thread yesterday, because I though it was just some kind of joke, and that's because of the
vague and ambiguous subject line.
So, what do you figure, guys? How many more times will I have to say this before it sinks in? Five thousand times?
Clear subject lines. Clear and unambiguous subject lines. Tell members what your thread is about BEFORE they open it. BEFORE they open it.
Clarity over cleverness, please. First and foremost, be clear. If you can be clever while first being clear, more power to you, but first and foremost, be CLEAR.
"Beep beep beep" does not come even close to being clear. It's not even in the same galaxy as clear.
