Winnie: Ratings? I don't understand what that is.
Gene: Oh, it'a a system to tell you how good the movie is. A G-rated movie is...'good', a PG-rated movie is 'pretty good', an R-rated movie is 'really good', and an X-rated movie is excellent.
Winnie: Okay, then why should we just see a 'really good' movie when we can…

Technically, the Popsicle (capitalized, since it's actually a trademark, albeit a generic one) still melts. Adding gelatin doesn't actually raise the melting point of the mixture above 0° Celsius (32° F). However, it will retain its shape when out of the freezer for longer, but that's because gelatin is neither a…

They have official ones at the Lego website, although yours probably didn't cost $15-20.

Lego Picture Frame (available in a kit from the official Lego store)

If that's so, why is he so ronery?

Denim enthusiasts will hold off from washing them for as long as humanly possible, especially if they're trying to get the jeans to develop specific wear patterns (this is more for "raw" or "dry" denim). I'm on a pair of Levi's 501s purchased late last year (not raw denim, unfortunately) that has yet to see the inside…

Basic financial management and budgeting really needs to be built into the school curriculum, or at the very least, people need to start on credit cards at an early age, using a co-signed card (with the parents) and a very low credit limit so they can get a better idea of what kind of damage credit cards can do. I've…

Most electronics retailers also put an enviro levy on electronic do-dads, which may or may not include video game consoles. I don't know if it qualifies as a personal computer ($5.50) or Image A/V device ($3.50), though.

Lego Marvel Superheroes is also really good.

It's The Incredible (Death) Machine!

Really? I just installed it on mine. I'm still trying to get used to it, since it puts Google Now as the main home screen, whereas I previously had it as on the clock and date widgets. Might not keep it, though.

11. Stationery (limited). Pens are tethered down in a lot of places, but in the places where they aren't, ballpoint pens and paper pads can be attained from a lot of businesses that give them away. Hotels are a great source for them. Also, businesses routinely give personalized scratch pads, so as long as you don't…

(Disclosure: I've had depression before, but not to the point that it's chronic and requiring medication, so take this advice as you will.)

I came here specifically to say exactly that. Well played, sir.

Didn't the G1 era Transformers (Takara Diaclones) Prowl and Bluestreak have a crotch panel that was lifted in a similar manner allowing you to rotate the lower torso 180 degrees during transformation?

There is something to this. If you have one particular location where you do your non-productive tasks (video games, surfing social media, shopping on Amazon), it's a lot more difficult to do your work in the same area. The simple act of just changing your location will get you out of that mindset.

There's also the issue that comes with corporately owned/retained video game developers. While developers are known to lay off staff when development winds down, there have been cases when studios have been outright gutted or shut down when their title didn't move the anticipated number of copies upon release. This…

My Kevin Hays story: I was one of the competition organizers when he was making one of his attempts at breaking the world record for the 6x6x6. He was a few turns away from completing it and then a piece of it popped out. For another puzzle like the 3x3x3, having a piece pop out is relatively trivial, but for a V-Cube…
