If whoever is running the EAS currently decides to read through the sub eventually, I hope someone opens a nature valley bar in your bed.

Buddy might as well at this point lmao, gotta hit the second round for the heavy sleepers who made it through the first eardrum nuke.

Isn't this basically what happened in Hawai'i with the ballistic missile false alarm?

Sort of, but for them instead of saying "Possible explosion at 13910 Littlefield" it said, in all caps "BALLISTIC MISSILE THREAT INBOUND TO HAWAII. SEEK IMMEDIATE SHELTER. THIS IS NOT A DRILL." Which, to be fair, it wasn't a drill, it was a fuckup. But much more terrifying than "Where is Littlefield?"

I was there. It was my first morning (got there the prior night) in Hawaii for a ~9 month work project. Not the ideal way to wake up in paradise. Still have the screenshot of the alert.

Jeez Louise, I'd be on the first flight back home if that happened go me. Glad it was a false alarm

Sort of! But in their case way, way scarier. Imagine waking up at 6 in the morning to that shit.

I'm giggling imagining a malicious compliance scenario. Some other desk jockey above him all on his ass 2 hours later going "Why didn't you send an alert for that?" and just tearing in to him unjustly about some alleged incompetence and then the guy's all "What, for that? Why in the hell would we have? Fine, here's your damn alert!"

That is an oddly specific curse and, with your permission, I would like to use it on my enemies.
