It’s just like the surface of the Earth or any planet. Unbounded, but of a finite volume.

Having a kid means I will never, ever have a moment of zero dirty clothes in the house. 

I heard someone last year suggest that the Braves change their name to the Atlanta Hammers in honor of Hammerin’ Hank Aaron, and, holy shit, is that not the BEST name you’ve ever heard for a baseball team?! It even rolls off the tongue when you say it out loud, The Atlanta Hammers. I love it.

The novel has sold 20 million copies. That doesn’t count people who checked it out of the library or borrowed a friend’s copy. It might be the best known literary SF property of all time. It is certainly better known than Guardians of the Galaxy, Ant Man, Doctor Strange, and a lot of other comic movies that have done

First, it’s just a leftist way of marginalization similar to how racist treat ethnic names.

Who is being marginalized by making fun of “Cricket?” Rich white ladies? Are they an oppressed minority now?

Anything less than very large caliber bullets won’t do anything but piss the bear off. Even if it was the right size bullet, you’d probably need to be very accurate. 

Usually I agree, but I actually enjoyed it. It points out the absurdity of the entire situation. I mean, we’ve all seen survivalist movies like this (The Grey, springs to mind) and rolled our eyes at how contrived the situation was.

I know attacks are rare, but bears just scare the crap out of me. When I see footage of people feeding and taking selfies with them, I think they must be out of their minds. Stay away from bears!

This does not sound good.

Okay, Neil - time to name and shame this unspeakable idiot.  

I feel like smoked paprika is like a “silver bullet” spice (not coors light, the thing that magically solves a problem). I use it on all sorts of meat, eggs, anything with mayonnaise, anything with potatoes, sauces, stews, and many other things. It’s never overpoweringly smokey, and the flavor it lends seems to

Mr. Big was too good for Carrie, THERE, I SAID IT!

After 9/11, knitting needles were banned, but some folks at Ravelry organized a write-in campaign and the TSA caved.

For what that’s worth

All three women “make history” by taking off their clothes for pictures?

Melnick wasn’t corrupt. She was never depicted as such either. She was the defense version of Jack McCoy. She was probably even more principled than Jack. It led her to making a mistake with dire consequences just like Jack had a habit of taking things too far in his zealousness to get the criminal.

Well, thanks. My eyes rolled so hard reading your comment that they’ve now flown out of my head and disappeared under my desk.

SVU has gone on for so long that I think it has colored most people’s memories of Law and Order prime. While they can both be called copaganda, issues of police and prosecutorial misconduct in the OG show are the exception rather than the rule, meanwhile not a single episode of SVU goes by without one of the cops

Overly-sexualizing and objectifying women’s bodies is the issue, with hip dips being the next thigh gap/bikini bridge/exposed collarbone.

You can have my “Yoiks! And Away!” when you pry it from my cold dead fingers.
