The initially said “solar flair”. Nobody believed that horseshit so now they came out with a new answer The vulnerability of the networks…glad we’ve got HAM radios!

Hmm... Is this is the "official" explanation?
If the 2nd amendment was written just to include guns for hunting, why is there not an amendment to protect fishing poles?

You could always switch to Verison, come to my ranch, and it say "No signal" all the time.

People want to gripe, but it's technology, it is bound to fail at some point. We act like it's the end of the world, but I remember the days of pagers and finding a landline to make a call.
Spend time with the ones you love. Time is not guaranteed.

When I started my career I had a smart beep pager and a pocket full of quarters. Every informant had my beeper number.

I noticed it but was barely an inconvenience and nobody that I’m aware of panicked. Talked to a few people and the reactions were just “meh”…
With WiFi you could still text, get on the internet etc.

When I stated out, my pager squelled like an injured rabbit and I a pay phone cost a dime.

My injured rabbit was from mid 70's. I should have added, with our dime, we called an local answering service and spoke to a live person. LOL. By '95, I had a smart beeper and pay phones were a quarter. However, after dark, the drug dealers used many pay phones as an office and didn't mind telling you so. So, I had a cell phone in the truck. It was a bag phone. Still have the same number.

AT&T is giving those affected a $5 credit to your bill for your troubles. Don’t spend it all in one place.
I am still looking for the perfect apron, one with reinforced knee areas would be perfect.

I was out in the woods and only have a wifi hotspot that I use...which, funny enough, uses AT&T towers so I was completely out of touch for 8-9 hours...I thoroughly enjoyed it, other than being out there by myself and not being able to reach out in case of an emergency or be reached in case of a home emergency AT&T is giving those affected a $5 credit to your bill for your troubles. Don’t spend it all in one place. Oh well friggin yippee I guess
