Google Calendar Push

Removes reminders from Google calendar placeholder events

Storyline

TL;DR: To make my life easier, I wanted to be able to block slots on my work calendar that correspond to events on my personal calendar. Regardless of this causing duplicate events to show up on my combined calendar app, which I can tolerate, what drove me crazy was having duplicate reminders.

I wanted to have silent placeholder events. Whenever I created an event on my work calendar with the title "Busy", any default reminders should be stripped off it.
