    Even worse, they send out alerts for when a pug might possibly be three hundred kms away from the flock of sheep

    They're certainly big, but I don't know if they are the BEST I've tasted.

    Or the custody/domestic disputes that aren't kidnappings, at all.

    "Blah blah blah Eden Valley, blah blah, ______ Cardinal, blah blah."
    Then a second alert within 4 hours:
    "Everything fine. Now with Auntie."



    White people are to blame for everything...

    We made it this far in life without these alerts, and people seem to find out within 8 seconds when a 70 year old rocker dies without alerts. I'm pretty sure when the nukes are heading our way we'll catch wind of it pretty quickly.

    On the other hand, if these alerts are the worst part of your day then you're having a pretty damn good day.

    I'm not an alarmist, but I HATE alarms and think they should all be sent back to Alarmistan

    The tolerances for what is an emergency must be higher.

    Unless covid has mutated into the size of a poodle and it starts biting peoples legs - I'm really not all that worried.

    Better if the alarm was old style. Open air sirens all over city.

    At the end of the day, this is why they do tests. I was annoyed at the time but im OK with it now knowing they got through some issues.
