When Guardians of the Galaxy hit theatres in 2014, Groot was inarguably one of the most memorable characters. Still, there were questions. James Gunn, the director of the Guardians of the Galaxy franchise, has answered a few. Groot is definitely dead. Baby Groot is definitely his “son.” Still, the scientific explanation for this was never really hashed out to the satisfaction of the Guardians nerdy fanbase. No worries. Wong’s tweetstorm makes it all perfectly clear....

The “Bean Bag Onesie” is retailing at the online store ThinkGeek and it’s designed for adults who love pajamas, specifically onesies, and would like the option to sit down comfortably, whenever they happen to decide to take a seat. I’m not going to lie—it looks ridiculous. It’s green and has a literal giant bean bag on the butt, making that body part of yours looking quite large. It’s made of cotton, so it’s likely very cozy, and the bean bag butt is filled with a cotton-polyester fiber mix and filled with polystyrene balls....

Cumberbatch started out by praising his wife, Sophie, noting how much she means to him and all of the things he appreciates about her, including her “searing honesty.” Speaking to Sophie, who was in the audience, he said that “together we’ve created an amazing family of three extraordinary human beings,” referring to their sons Christopher, Hal, and Finn. While the 45-year-old is among the biggest stars in the world (who is also widely considered the favorite to win the Oscar for Power of the Dog), he’s managed to keep his trio of sons entirely out of the spotlight and he noted that he wouldn’t talk about them too much publicly....

The Hot Wheels Colossal Crash Track Set is definitely colossal;at over five feet wide, it’s the biggest boosted set the company has ever made. And it’s definitely made for crashing, as the double figure-eight design means plenty of opportunities for the two included cars—and let’s face it, the dozens your kid probably already has—to ram into each other. We’re also big fans of the dual starting gates that make it easy to launch cars into both the red and green tracks, which intersect in something of a crash zone in the center....

If you plan on using soap, choose a pressure washer with a built-in tank. They’re generally easier to operate, as you won’t have the weight of the soap on the spraying wand (and, by extension, your arms). Wheels are a must for heavier modles, as are adjustable or interchangeable nozzles that allow you to tailor the output for the job. A narrower stream will travel further, making it great for reaching, say, the second story of a house, while a wider spray is great for more delicate jobs like car washing....

So, if you occasionally worry that your dick isn’t up to snuff, you’re not alone: According to an online survey of 25,000 participants, almost half of all men wish their penises were larger. What most don’t realize, however, is that they fall well within the normal range. Hell, the average erection measures about five inches. That’s not even as long as a dollar bill. And, yeah, it gets the job done....

You can imagine, however, how those first couple of episodes went. “Go sloooow,” I would say, only to watch her dump a bowl of milk on her face. Hilarious for sure, but also a screaming mess. Or it should have been. Somewhere around 12 months, though, my wife bought what I’ve since proclaimed is one of the greatest baby/toddler feeding products on the market: the silicone bib.

If you’re worried about stained teeth, there’s only one truly effective method: Prevention. This is especially important for coffee and tea drinkers. “Brush your teeth or rinse with water right after and spit it out to get the residual coffee or tea out,” says Dr. Edmond Hewlett, a professor at the UCLA School of Dentistry, “ideally before it can sit on your teeth.” If you’re not quite as disciplined, there are teeth-whitening toothpastes....

“As we build back from a pandemic that has disproportionately burdened women, we need to recognize that child care is essential infrastructure that makes our workforce and our economy globally competitive,” Rep. Katie Porter said in a statement to Vox.

Technically, they call it an eWriter.
