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.

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.

Huh. I don't watch anything live since I got the DVR.

You know what would work for the advertisers? Encouraging the use of TiVos or DVRs with the capacity to watch two channels. Because if I'm recording something, I'm always looking to see if I'm missing something I could be watching at the same time. Hell, if I had the capacity to tape three things at once, I'd start taping two things and surf the third channel.

This does mean I end up watching with commercials the shows I don't care enough to tape, but skip commercials on the good shows.

I don't watch anything live since I got the DVR.

If I'm home when it's on, and not busy, I watch. If it's sports, I really try to watch.

Unless there's a sudden manifestation of a life, for instance, I'll be watching Sci Fi channel's Friday lineup pretty close to real time.
