Thanks. Obviously not a thing in Australia

You USA types have all the fun.

Hmm. I was in Hawai'i when the false ballistic missile warning messages went out to every device 5 or 6 years ago. Not fun.

And we got something similar, although confined to affected areas rather than widespread, with bushfire (wildfire for the non-Aussies) warnings back in the 2019/2020 disaster in my area.
I was a volunteer firefighter then, and the cellular networks went down fast when the fires swept through the local relay towers, so now we're seeing the emergency services in regional areas using Starlink fitted to vehicles as a communications node out in the field for wifi calls.

We had a test like this too here where I live a couple of months back! it went horrible and so many phones didn't react the way they should have etc ))

Yes for actual emergencies we have them but we don't do nationwide "we're all gonna die" emergency warning system testing

I was in Miami last year on holiday and my phone went off with an alert for a missing young girl, so I can see the benefit of people being aware and on the lookout. That was regional, though.

That’s horrendous enough, but dread to think of a national emergency…

We had it in the UK a month or two ago! I was in Sainsbury’s walking out of the shop and I thought the shoplifting alarm on the doors had gone off ??

It was almost 6 months ago, I thought I'd disarmed it and my friend left it on. I received the alerts on 3 phones, friend zilch.

Back to the man - woman thing I get the talk over, telling me how to run my business umpteen times in my RLSW. I have learned to add in so much, put my procedure upfront, say 'only' or 'non-negotiable'. Many times I am asked to make an exception I have to stop long talk around stories because they are wasting my time and there. 'Only' I add after the private cam methods and payment methods because 8 times out of 10, after I've given the 2 apps I'll be asked for others, same with payment methods. I am however engaging with only men, so do it know if women would be the same or do we just accept & respect what we are offered? Some start to offer or try work around which often fails, wasting my time in the process.

Or is this because I'm a sex worker?

Back to the alarm thing someone was telling me about a documentary on UK webcammers, they were adamant the noise in the background was a phone ringing. It was the noise I know from a UK cam platforms, I explained this but they still were convinced it's a phone.

If they'd tested it here on a national level though, it would have flagged where many of the issues were, before folk found out the hard way it doesn't work like it was intended to ?

Wow, you’re right. How time flies ??‍

 

[bamdicted]

Every year they test our warning sirens this year they also tested phone alerts. ( I think I am not that far from @Wuggie ?)

Hey, Ozzie. May I ask why you put the wink emoji at the end of all of your posts? Is it just your way of showing the other poster that you’re being friendly? I’m not bashing it. I was just curious.

I did not realise that I did.

If I am being silly or a bit of a smart arse I am likely to put it.

It is certainly not being flirtatious or anything like that.

Scandalous!

Flirting requires a tip!

Exactly!

Plus, being Australian, I guess the "or being a smart arse" was redundant really (it is our national pastime after all)

I was wondering the same! Some people use it for irony so I think I often misread Ozzie's tone

Generally speaking, my tone is always light-hearted (life is too short to be surly all the time). Of course if I am responding to someone who's being a dick, then all bets are off

No it isn't...my life ambition is to end up as a grumpy old man...

I love a wink emoji every now and again!

Although my usual one is: ??‍

I plan on going the other way. I was an angry young man.. so.... ?‍

That's a perfectly legit reason to ban a room.

That's a worry so if kids happen to walk past your house on st and are talking loud you can get banned? It's hard to control anyone walking down the st talking loudly. It could happen at anytime if you live on a main rd.

It's really not. I've been on cam for 10 years on CB and never been banned for shit other people hear. Because I know the rules.

Like she said earlier, as soon as you hear it cut the audio or log off a second until it passes.

When you work porn, yes, you have to be really vigilant, constantly aware and strict w the rules.

Doing porn and having a window open where kids on the street could potentially hear or see you, isn't really the best or most responsible.
Like many people in this thread said, use music, fans and white noise, or some combo of all 3, to get your temperature needs met, while protecting little ones.
Or work middle of the night your time zone ?‍
