Re: [FRIAM] Emergency Alert

2023-10-05 Thread Steve Smith


Speaking of the book Snow Crash, it appeared in the hover-over on XKCD 
the other day, https://xkcd.com/2832/ . I just finished reading it 
when I saw the XKCD cartoon. I haven't decided whether it is a 
coincidence or a glitch in the matrix. Now that you brought it up, I 
am sure that it must be a glitch in the matrix. Maybe the emergency 
alert drill coincidence is related to that glitch too.


I'm hoping it is more like the brief scene in Dogma where the Stygian 
Triplets on roller blades use a hockey stick to rip a tear in reality. ( 
I can find absolutely no reference to the scene in the movie as I 
remember it... so it is probably one of MY hallucinations)


Thanks for the hint about finding (easter egg?) tooltip/hover-overs in 
XKCDs...  I think I'd tripped over them before but didn't twig to their 
being "a thing"... Kewl!


Car bodies are getting to be more and more likely Aluminum or 
(bio)Plastic, so a magnapoon would be a less-than-optimal method, though 
much simpler than a suction-cup mechanism.   Maybe getting "magnapooned" 
would just be part of the "tax" on having an older/larger/inefficient 
vehicle (think lifted Diesel quad-cab 4x4 cowboy cadillac)...

I was surprised when the US system was first deployed/tested under
Trump and *he* didn't turn it into his personal "Twitter" service.

I half expected to get an alert every time he was unhappy with
some "deep state" or legislative or judicial confrontation to his
will.

Now/Dark Brandon/ is using it to trigger COVID vaccine installed
Manchurian Candidate nanotech?

Or maybe a Snow Crash just happened in the House of
Representatives today/yesterday?
