sure it might be just routine daily maintenence in the middle of the night GMT but maybe not...

perhaps it gives you a chance to get some homework done, maybe it reminds you its time for bed. maybe it gives you the signal that you need to take a shower

for me, it reminds me that the daily show has just started.

as it will in 5 minutes.

so what does it mean to you?

That's because you're delusional and you think it's happening...

every day?

geez i wish i had a better delusion than that.

so what did you do with YOUR 15 minutes of no jolt?

miniclip sudoku. *nods*

Um...I think this belongs in the technical forum, not general.

As for the topic, I wish I could give you an answer, but I'm not the techy-type. Sorry.

miniclip sudoku. *nods*

ahhhh the thinking woman's break

what is miniclip sudoku?

They do it just to piss you off. Just like it will always crap out on me when I've only got 10 minutes to spare and there's 10 fascinating threads.

no it doesnt.

i assume its for routine middle of the night maintenence. the topic is how to you handle the break.

Judging from he OP, this thread would appear to be about more than why a technical issue is occurring. This thread is more about NSG addiction than anything else.

I blame Physics Gnomes; the same group of whom I blame for everything else that goes wrong in my life, from failed experiments to failed relationships.

I use those 15 minutes to meditate on the ultimately futile nature of the past few years of my life, and how much happier I would be now if I had simply run off to become a Mongolian Yak Herder when I got out High School.

My bad. I'm really not paying attention.

When Jolt craps out, I reflect upon my internship as a Mongolian Yak Herder.

Good times.

That's okay, neither was dryk, or they would have noticed Ashmoria is a girl. :p

Good point.

As for the topic, I wish I could give you an answer, but I'm not the techy-type. Sorry.
I can give an answer, but it's not technical and it's not very polite.
Perhaps the more 'creative' answers were what the OP had in mind? ;)

That's okay, neither was dryk, or they would have noticed Ashmoria is a girl. :p

:p I don't read any of that information. I make assumptions and if I'm wrong, this forum doesn't have an edit limit, so I'll change it..... and how come Ashmoria gets a capital letter and I don't?

My bad. I'm really not paying attention.

no problem

actually im pretty sure that jolt has been paid off by the UK NHS to shut down for 15 minutes so that the brit users can get some sleep. sleep is necessary for good health. saves the UK millions.

Good question, and it's mainly about quantum physics.

Alternately, sexism. Ashmoria is a girl, remember. I love reverse sexism, because hypocricy turns me on.

Probably because in the UK that's 4am, so Jolt thinks it's a good time to do some sort of maintenance...or something...

Hmm...that's not very considerate to us Yanks on the other side of the pond, now is it?:D

You try to open your heart and deepest secrets to a group of complete strangers, and they turn on you . . .

Good times.
Nah, that guy isn't doing it right. My dream was to be a hardcore yak herder: I'd live in a yurt made of yak hide, wear a cloak made of yak skin, eat yak butter, drink yak milk, wear pants derived from yak by-products in some way, and at night I'd look up at the stars and imagine entire constellations of yaks having sex with other yaks.
It would be wonderful.

Your government would be fixing that any day now. It's well known that NSG is commonly used for planning terrorist atrocities up to, but not limited to, mixing beer with milk.

Think about that! Beer in kiddie's milk! Milk in men's beer! Fragile minds must be protected ... :cool:

honestly achilles, i dont know why they dont think of US. one might think that they cared more for their own people than they do for americans.

nooooo thats just not possible

is it?

oh lord i saw a reality show on the tv the other month where an american family spent a week with mongolian yak herders. the mongolian wife saved up her urine so that the american family could wash their hair with it!

what a life.

Not for the yaks.

...not even the ones having sex in the night sky? :(

Not for the yaks.
The yaks can go to Hell!

Look, I know it's .jolt.co.uk and everything, but considering which country has the highest percentage of bored people sitting on their Cheetos in Texas surfing the net, well, you'd think they would do a little bit of the old accomodation and what-have-you.

Which country has the highest percentage of people in Texas, sounds like a loaded question to me.

by all rights they should pick a time that screws the aussies.

no one likes them.

You the God of Yaks now? After failing in your life's dream of caring for them in this life?

The yaks can go to Hell!


Yaks not for whom the bell tolls… …it tolls for thee.

Yaks not what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country. :cool:

You know what I like about yaks? Other than the fact that they aren't constantly mocking my poetry like all the other quadruped species?
Yaks never make puns about the word "Yaks." A flock of sheep will always have some asshole doing that whole "Ewe" vs "You" thing, but yaks have an almost super-human sense of restraint and a quiet dignity.

so what does it mean to you?
Well not to me personally, as it's midday here when it craps out, but to the majority of NS'ers I would guess they use the down time productively to:
*fap*fap*fap*fap*fap*fap*fap

They taste really nice too.

in case you're wondering.

Why Does Jolt Crap Out Every Evening at 9 MST?

Because you touch yourself at night, and we know how much God hates that.

Bless you yes! :D May your fiddles have their bottoms polished regularly.
EDIT: Aw, c'mon. I've got one about 'cellos here, just needs a little context.

it means the daily show is on.:p

Why?

Simple. Because you touch yourself at night.

Every time you masturbate, God crashes a server.

:( Don't make me use the upyours smiley. Besides the drop out affects me all the time.

Beat you to it by almost 20 minutes :p

Beat you to it by almost 20 minutes :p
What? The post or the 'beating' yourself?

What we've got so far:

Masturbating causes crashes.
Crashes cause masturbation.
It's something to do with Yaks or God, or both.

... and I say that's three good ideas you wouldn't hear in the Technical Forum.
