Since my preschooler’s internal clock has still not gotten the memo that on weekends, we sleep in, my husband and I usually let her watch TV or play on the iPad as we slowly peel ourselves out of bed. While her screen time is limited on weekdays, it spikes on Saturday and Sunday mornings, which I don’t always love…

Happy National Streaming Day! Who knew that streaming content needed its own holiday, when it’s something we all do every single night? Well, it’s got one.

Hello, and welcome back to What’s Cooking?, the open thread where you get to share your brilliant thoughts, advice, recipes, and opinions on all things food-related. Today I want to talk about a very important part of cooking food for yourself that you’ll actually want to eat: seasoning.

Google knows a lot about you, and a decent amount of that info comes from YouTube. By default, the video site tracks everything you watch and search for (including that time I played the same Taylor Swift video on a loop for 2 hours) so it can suggest better videos—and target you with more relevant ads, of course.

Where do you go to waste time on the internet? Facebook and Twitter, the usual default answers, are exhausting. Scrolling through them feels like work. “I don’t know how to waste time on the internet anymore,” says Dan Nosowitz in the internet-culture blog Select All. We agree with him that it’s way too easy to get…

You really shouldn’t preorder video games. Getting some shiny, exclusive item when the game arrives isn’t worth gambling $60 for an experience that’s buggy on launch day or not as fun as you thought it would be once you start playing.

When you realize you need to get something done, you probably think to yourself, “I have to do that soon.” But that type of thinking disrupts your motivation in two ways: by messing with your sense of time and robbing you of urgency.

People don’t really associated chicken with indulgence but, when prepared with love and care (and lots of fat), it can be downright special. Taking a cue from duck confit, we treat these chicken thighs with the respect they deserve, first curing them and then cooking them slow and low in rendered schmaltz for an…

Meanwhile, just 11 percent of people surveyed said their definition was “having lots of money.”

I’m a terrible storyteller. With enough keyboard time I can turn a personal experience into a passable narrative, but in person I fall to pieces. Whenever I try to share a “funny story,” even if I’ve tried following Lifehacker’s storytelling tips, I see my audience’s faces freeze into a rictus as my story reaches its…

When preparing a meal for a toddler, you cannot be bogged down by the inefficiency of the knife, a tool that requires you to use two hands to carve food into safe, manageable bites. No. There is a better life out there, and you can unlock it by opening your kitchen drawer and grabbing a pizza cutter.

macOS: I’m busy. You’re busy. We’re all busy. Sometimes, the sheer amount of crap you have to deal with can almost feel overwhelming, but a good way to get control of your chaotic to-do list without going crazy is to make sure you’re getting enough downtime, too.

There’s no such thing as owning too much flash storage, and you can stock up on flash drives, SD cards, and more from Amazon’s latest Gold Box.

There’s nothing inherently wrong with Dropbox, Google Drive, or whatever popular service you use to back files up to the cloud and keep them synchronized between your multiple desktops and laptops.
