Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Oh, when I said "scooter," I meant the thing for disabled people.

I think two hours is totally an underestimate. At my busiest job, I probably got an hour a day to slack. At most jobs, it's more like three or four.

I don't think many jobs actually take 40 hours a week -- they all take 25 or 30, and the rest of it is just killing time.

Scooters look like having too much of the danger of motorcycles without any of the fun.

My father-in-law managed to get some pretty rotten injuries from a scooter crash back around Thanksgiving. The family is now debating what to do with said scooter.

(He's also looking for a good story to explain the scar, as if falling off a scooter at age 60 isn't enough of one.)

move out and draw fire

I want one of these...it's almost a scooter, but the metal goes around the meat, instead of the other way 'round. [link]

Ninety pct of DVR users skip TV ads.

I can't help but wonder...who are these strange 10-percenters? Ad execs?

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Last year I got like zero slack for like three months. I've been doing nothing BUT slacking since Christmas. It's actually kind of depressing.

but the metal goes around the meat,

I am in love with this phrase.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

I sometimes don't skip the ads, but that's because I'm not paying enough attention to know ads are on/am too lazy to bother.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I wonder what comprises most of the time? I certainly don't skip all the ads all the time, although it's very rare I watch all the ads for a show I'm not watching live.

In fact, maybe that's what the stat refers to. Though it seems very low.
