I love that part of the internet.

Kinda like "guy code"

"Was said he was with you last night"

"Yep, all night. Cleaned the spark plugs in my car and drained the blinker fluid. Couldn't have done it without him "

But instead it's "parent code"

"Yeah fortnight is closed. They close it so everyone can get a good night's sleep and be ready for the morning!"

I was going to tell a personal story about telling my son McDonald's was closed when I was broke or in a hurry but it reminded me of another cute store.

My son broke his arm in a McDonald's once. Hyper extended his elbow. Got a couple pins.

Anyway a year or so later they completely remodeled that McDonald's.

We drove by the demolished building during the remodel and my son shouted "that's what you get for breaking my arm! Who's broken now!"

Adorable vengeance served adorably cold.

Presumably they shut if off for 14 days, hence the name.

Oh man, if my kids start fact-checking I’ll have a lot of explaining to do.

Easiest way to do this: Turn the modem off after bed time (you will also lose internet)

Most expensive but still easy way to do this: Buy a "smart router" with time-based parental controls (lets you use the internet at night).

Nerd way to do this: Pihole with a script that enables and disables certain blocklists at certain times (free and open source, because fuck "smart" products)

Problem is that it's regional. So even of you watch a big streamer, they are before 9pm so the game still works.

This reminds me when my mom told my dad Netflix didn't serve their area because she didn't want another bill.

He told me that and I was like "Well..." and my mom just yelled from the other room "I JUST CALLED THEY'RE TRYING FOR NEXT YEAR." so I shut up.

This is why we trust but verify. Thanks mom for teaching me that cruel lesson of unplugging the phone cord to get me to bed (dial up days). It lasted about a week before I caught on you always came up from the basement before bed.

I'm so glad you never noticed I swapped my line with the guest bedroom. Also glad that ancient block in the basement could be hand wired.

Yep, that's what I heard. They also do overnight backups so it needs downtime, kind of like people.

I mean, mom could be right. Maybe there’s a rule on router to block Fortnite servers after 21:00. She just doesn’t tell that she the one turning it off

It's right there in the name, it shuts off for the night.

Football? Isn't the season over ?
