The terms have their source in old manual typesetting. Typically they are the same size as lowercase m and n in a given font.

15 minutes is probably enough time to go from grimly satisfying to funny to gruesome to absurdly funny.

No, you cannot stab someone with a blood icicle like Sub-Zero in Mortal Kombat

Ice falling from tall buildings has killed people before, but I think it was more crushing than impaling.

Guinness.

A warm soft pretzel the size of my head, with liquid cheese and hot mustard.

While Black people generally believe that there is bias in policing, they also believe there is systemic racism in education, the criminal justice system, financial institutions, the electoral process, the medical industry and even stores and restaurants.

I would expect nothing less from Kevin “That was not an insurrection” McCarthy.

I grew up in Pennsylvania Dutch country and there are few things prettier than seeing a Amish clothesline with all the clothing sized from the smallest daughter's dress up to the largest grandmother's.

I admit to being overly fond of supermarket cupcakes, particularly the miniature ones. They’re bite-sized cake perfection.

There are FEMA and State agencies with free vaccinations and zero waiting everywhere. You don’t need appointments, your anxiety about waiting in line is unjustified.

...adding: fabrics like cotton and rayon can be gently stretched into shape/out of wrinkles before you hang them. Roll the clothing edge over the line before pinning, and remember to wipe off the line before hanging clothes to remove pollen, dust and dirt, or bird and lizard (Floridian) shit. Pin up sheets and…

I bought a groom’s cake for our rehearsal dinner from the Las Vegas Albertson’s. Not only did they bake it there, they did a custom job as I requested a red velvet armadillo a la Steel Magnolias. My then fiancé had joked about it before so I thought it would be fun...and it was. The cake was also pretty damn good and…

I grew up preferring school food to what I got at home, welfare peanut butter and cheese are part of my DNA.

Great observations, and the timing was impeccable for me. Just last Friday, my siblings gathered to share my mother’s 90th birthday, and the literal icing on the cake was the Publix bakery birthday cake my sister thoughtfully picked up.

Unobtainium—now that has the feeling of a first-draft idea that stayed in because Cameron was just like fuck it, the whole point is it doesn’t matter what it is or why it’s valuable or why it has such a goofy on-the-nose name.

One issue with the film I actually don’t see brought up that much: the whole thing with the Na’Vi being completely in tune with their planet and able to call on all its resources means that for the Colonel to be any kind of legitimate threat, he has to be made so ridiculously badass that it’s hard not to root for him…

The only scene I really solidly remember from Avatar is the really really stupid scene where the big blue fellow is fighting the bad guy in his mech suit, and then the robot stops to pull out a knife that it had strapped to his back. I found that so epically stupid that I’m still not over it.

I haven’t seen this movie, partly because I somehow never got around to it when it was out at the cinema and it really does seem like a big-screen experience, and that watching it on a TV will just expose its flaws more harshly.

Someone brought up paper towels, and I'm surprised no one has suggested toilet paper (yet). Brings back the classic "crumpler vs folder" argument (which gets weird, fast).
