I know staying up past bedtime is illegal but I did it once to check and fortnite was in fact off π
Truly terrible news
Yep, that's what I heard. They also do overnight backups so it needs downtime, kind of like people.

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)
It provides enrichment for the kids, as they figure out how to get past it.
Cheaper alternative: flash existing router with DD-WRT or OpenWRT and access advanced features for free.
And possibly get a damn nice router for not much money.

Just a good ole lag switch

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.
You need enough sleep.
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.
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.
How did you explain how McDobalds knows when you're broke or in a hurry?
Your son has ice in his veins. I'm very impressed.
One day he will rule, I hope he lets us live.
Just FYI that cleaning spark plugs is actually a thing. Not common but sometimes they can get 'fouled' from things like oil or incorrect air/fuel mixtures.
Depending on the engine and whether or not you use double iridium-platinum triple splitfire plugs, once you go through all the work of taking them out, no sense in putting the same ones back in.
Sure wink and oddly enough spark plug cleaner smells a lot like perfume wink
I got you bro.
Oh man, if my kids start fact-checking Iβll have a lot of explaining to do.
Found J.D. Vance's account
I donβt know who that is, but somehow I know if I did know, I wouldnβt like this
I envy your world, free of American politics.
Yes, basking in blissful ignorance
Well, soon we'll know whether you'll have to find out.
I donβt think the entire world is required to know about American politics.. only the western counties suffers from American influence
Boy do I have bad news for you ...

Presumably they shut if off for 14 days, hence the name.
Thats gotta be it
Problem is that it's regional. So even of you watch a big streamer, they are before 9pm so the game still works.
actually if a streamer is every streaming fortnite past 9pm, they've secretly prerecorded the stream as an alibi
All big streamers are time travelers. They stream from the times when the game works so that people who were too late to play can still watch
they login through 7 proxies to be time lords. hence origin of time cube you can't deny the logic.
Till You KNOW 4 Simultaneous Days Rotate In Same 24 Hours Of Earth You Don't Deserve To Live On Earth
It's right there in the name, it shuts off for the night.
