It is. I am guessing that because it was not a child abduction, the state decided to issue a state-wide Law Enforcement Warning instead.

Just found out that there is an alert code for missing and endangered persons that was established last year.

Yet another example of why some people turn off their reception of emergency alerts.

Aidan Paoletti @aidanabwx.skyhighcreators.com · 6d

That emergency alert I got today has a description very close to the requirements for an Amber alert. Yet it was not an Amber alert, but instead a Law Enforcement Warning. Especially when the headline of the alert is "Endangered Missing Juvenile", that is insanely close to an Amber alert.

They should also do this for Adams county.

I forgot that I have no classes on Friday.

Storm chasing is the only reason why I would not sell my car if I move abroad.

How the hell do you mess this up? It does not surprise me that nobody in the white house noticed this and fixed it.

One countdown showing 5 minutes, 37 seconds
Another countdown showing 1 hour, 5 minutes, 37 seconds

I hate that this is on the official whitehouse.gov website

The government shutdown countdown page on the white house website is so poorly coded that one countdown uses local time while the other uses UTC-4. Makes me want to facepalm myself so damn hard.

I was reminded today that cars are death machines. It is insane that you need one to do anything in this country. Makes me want to move somewhere with better public transit.

This country is doing everything it can to make me want to leave.

It has been 8 months since inauguration, it feels like it has been much longer.

Of course this happens while my parents are remodeling their house.

That was a game.

Yeah. I wish there was some way to speed up my degree because I am stuck here for 2 more years. I do not want a fascist preventing me from getting my degree.

This happening at the biggest university in the country is insanity

It seems to be classified as the "Public Safety" alert type on warn.pbs.org, but comes out as an Emergency Alert.

I did not need that on a day where there is a potential for severe storms.

PBS - WARN

For a department called the Oklahoma Department of Public Safety, they really did not need to send out a "Local Area Emergency" to the entire state. Those get classified on a Verizon iOS device as an Emergency Alert, not a Public Safety Alert.

I just want to survive long enough in this country to get my degree. Until mid-May 2027, that is it. I have been working towards my degree for 4 years, there is zero reason for me to stop.

Spent 3 hours trying to figure out why the internet at my parents house died, only to find out that it was not our mesh system or our provider. It was instead the SIM in our 5G home internet router that decided it was a good time to erase itself. No SIM, no internet.

The same professor has taught this single-section, sophomore-level class for the past 15 years. Whether you pass determines if you can continue with your CS major or minor. They just throw you into the deep end and expect you to find your way to the surface.

Somehow, the CS class I am taking has zero equivalencies across every institution in the entire country. Not even MIT has an equivalent transferable class of the class I am taking. The projects are explained very poorly, to the point you use GitHub Copilot to figure out what to do.

My CS professor has some outlandish expectations of my class's knowledge of C++. They did not teach the basics of C++ because they assumed that it would be easy to go from Java to C++. I can already feel this CS class turning into the most annoying one to deal with this semester.

I have been awake since 3 am because of this. It will feel so good to pass out later.

Aidan Paoletti @aidanabwx.skyhighcreators.com · Sep 13

Something I have been waiting 5 years for got announced earlier today. I am extremely excited for it to be released next year.
