It’s not often you find a classic hack that excels at four different things, but maybe that’s why it’s a classic. We told you 13 years ago to fill the empty space in your freezer with water bottles, and we hope you did.
An “extremely active” hurricane season occurring in the midst of a global pandemic sounds like the plot of a late-1990s disaster movie, but it’s 2020, so it’s our current reality. Earlier this month, New York City and other parts of the east coast got a taste of this double-disaster situation when Tropical Storm…
We commonly think of an egg as having two distinct parts: the white and the yolk. It is (of course) much more complicated than that. There’s rarely any need to think about all 15 parts of the egg, but considering both portions of the white—the exterior albumin and the middle albumin—can result in neater, more…
Windows 10 has a built-in clipboard history, and it’s about to get a lot more handy with the upcoming release of Windows 10 Build 20185, currently available for Windows Insiders to test.

In personal finance your net worth gets a lot of attention, and for good reason—it’s basically your financial report card. You can calculate your net worth—or statement of financial position—by subtracting your total debt from your total assets.
The past several months have caused many of us to take a long, critical look around our homes, and in some cases, we’ve found our living space wanting. To be fair, most of us didn’t move into these spaces expecting them to serve as our home, office and school, but here we are. We’ve had to get creative by turning…
Ever wonder just how much data your streaming apps use? Here’s the good news: For the most part, the differences aren’t that extreme between most apps when you’re viewing the same type and quality of content. (Netflix and Hulu will average out to about the same, for example.)
Bricks are not something you can buy at Williams-Sonoma or Sur La Table, but perhaps they should be, as they are extremely useful in the kitchen. Actually, scratch that. Both retailers are extremely skilled at making the once-affordable inaccessible, and would probably end up selling “locally sourced sediment weights…
In the age of smartphone calculators and voice assistants, multiplying large numbers by hand may seem like a quaint and entirely unnecessary skill. However, you never know when you’ll need to do quick math, and the Japanese multiplication method (also called multiply-by-lines) can help you figure out the answer simply…
I love old movies. My wife... does not. This is a sticking point for us when it comes to deciding what we want to watch together; on the rare occasions she says we can watch whatever you want she never forgets to add but nothing old and in black and white.
I don’t think my spouse is alone in being wrong about classic…
I believe ruminating on worst-case scenarios is often unproductive, but I also was a Boy Scout and the motto “Be Prepared” is an indelible part of my psyche. One of the best ways to “be prepared” for any kind of emergency is to have extra food stored in your freezer. However, freezers require power, and if you lose…
There’s a new study claiming that neck gaiters like Buffs are worse than not wearing a mask at all. I’m not convinced that this study should be taken at face value, but it’s also reasonable to be suspicious of Buffs, bandanas, and other face coverings that aren’t designed to do the job of a mask.
As Congress continues to debate the next stimulus package, President Donald Trump made headlines by signing four executive orders on Saturday. One of these orders, a memorandum on payroll tax deferrals, has left many employers scratching their heads on how it will work—and the impact it will have on their employees.
Puberty is awkward for all parties involved. For kids, it starts with some build-up as friends start reaching these biological milestones, followed by sprouting new body parts and features, and ultimately resulting in a few years of asking yourself “Is this normal?” 37 times a day.
Even if you aren’t playing around with iOS 14 or macOS Big Sur yet, there’s one setting you want to know if you’re an Apple News+ subscriber. That’s because starting with iOS 14 and macOS Big Sur, web links to news stories that you tap or click will pull up said stories in Apple News+, rather than the publisher’s site.

Sure, print is slowly dying, but printed magazines are still one of the very best things a person can find in the mailbox—and that’s especially true for kids (and for parents looking for any avenue to limit screen time).
Brushing breads and biscuits before they go into the oven with some sort of fat (or egg, or dairy) is a nice way to add color and flavor, but we often seem to default to butter and olive oil when it comes to fat. I have nothing against those two fats—they are lovely—but a bread or biscuit that has been brushed with…
