#PVRS
Today, if you have a PVR, you probably rent it from your cable provider (who can use DMCA 1201 to block other PVRs from working with your cable provider).

Digital cable disinvented the Tivo. Every post-VCR digital video signal came with hook IP, and so the Tivos (and other PVRs) had to get permission before they could store and play back modern videos.

Tonight is the season premiere of Saturday Night Live, which in Canada will air on CTV for the first time. (Double check your PVRs.)

CTV's late local news, where applicable, moves to 10:30pm to make room on the schedule.

But at least cable signals *have* PVRs. For the majority of video we interact with, there's no PVR - not even a shitty, broken one. You can't record your Netflix videos, your HBO Max videos, your Disney Plus videos or your Prime videos.

Many people are surprised to see a compressed gas bottle on an #F1 car. In fact they gave run these since the 80s!
The engines do not run coil valve springs, but a pneumatic valve return system PVRS. This bottle is for nitrogen to keep the system pressurised.

Remember kids: CFRP strength derives mainly from fibers in tension, NOT compression. MGP CFRP reservoirs contain @200 bar INTERNAL N2 gas pressure (@10 bar regulated at PVRS spring).

So NEVER use a MotoGP PVRS reservoir to send your pet hamster to the Titanic. Besides... they can't breath N2 🐹

Turning on a hospital bed (they're electrically adjustable) causes PVRs to reset. Apparently.

Continuity ramped up wildly in the early 2000s with the advent of PVRs. Anything from a year that starts with a 1, the producers assumed every episode might be your first, and it's all shufflable.

It's crazy how we need PVRs again just to skip commercials on streaming services.

The Vanier Cup is televised on CBC this Saturday at 2:00 pm Eastern, just in case anyone wants to program their PVRs. USport football needs more eyes on it. #usport #cfl

They disinvented the VCR. You might think that the reason we don't have VCRs anymore is because VCRs were supplanted by DVDs, PVRs and streaming, but that's not the case. They had it in for the VCR from the very start, and they never stopped trying to kill it. Eventually, they succeeded.

Anything electronic too, such as PVRs or DVD players. Always break just after the warranty ends.

Every single time.
Very thankful for pvrs.
Me watching a film.

1. Start watching.

2. Wonder what I’ve seen one of the actors in before.

3. Google actor.

4. Go to IMDb/their Wikipedia page.

5. Find out every single detail of their entire life.

6. Realise I’ve completely missed the plot of the film and now have no idea what’s going on.

Fuck yes, set the PVRs for this one, folks!
Jimmy Fallon, John Oliver, Seth Meyers, and Jon Stewart are set to appear on tonight’s episode of ‘The Late Show with Stephen Colbert’ to show solidarity, LateNighter reports.

Even SharkBoys get the blues:

Rumored to be ongoing issues w/KTM's PVRS not sealing reliably. As that's an internal component of a sealed motor, they definitely have their schniedel caught in their zipper, rules-wise.

But as it's a safety and not a perf issue, MGP should allow an upgrade 🤨

My dad stayed the night so his PVRs were sufficiently low & pain control was a little better, so I chilled at their house with the dogs. My car got a thorough inspection
