FR: That was a problem when I worked at the phone company. In the day, the switch was engineered for about 10% of the subscribers to be online at one time, average three minute call (six minutes mothers day) but then videoconferencing and internet changed that model. thousands of folks would call into the central office, hey, do you know your phones are down? (yeah, first I heard of it, dipshit) and swamping the switches, making it harder to get back online, just like lightning storms taking out a transformer, people go around and switch on all the lights in the house, thinking maybe what? one of these might work? I dunno, and then the already overloaded transformer gets reset and the instantaneous load is too great and goes right back down, on and off, on and off.........and then nothing, replace the damn thing altogether some hours of work later. Hard to do a ring job with the engine still running, I doubt CollarMe is running away, I am sure they are aware that it is down, and the appropriate slaves are being whipped with frenzy and isolation and lack of sleep and food and otherwise properly punished until the goddam thing is up for your personal wankings and day after day frittering aways of real life. Or am I the only one who knows its down?
