From the title I assumed a false alarm went off, but instead it was just the system was installed in BC.

I probably could have worded it better but I didn’t realize it until after posting

lol .... it's like a family group text chat I had with my siblings a few years ago when my parents were still alive .... "Sorry but dad is no longer with us" ... they were referring to dad having just left the room to go outside for something ... the whole chat blew up with everyone asking if dad had died.

Titles are editable in Lemmy!

I also wrote the article and changing the title messes up stuff like article previews and whatnot because I pay for the lowest tier of WordPress. I guess I’ll just be guilty of being clickbaity today.

If this emits as many bogus alerts as the amber alerting system, a politician farting in Edmonton will have everyone in the real West hiding under tables.

Which bogus alerts were those?

I’m more than willing to get a text message that might help a kid be safe.
