There are peppers you know are going to be spicy (habaneros) and peppers you know are not (bell), but then there are the peppers that could be mild, hot, or “please remove my tongue from my mouth and place it in a glass of ice milk.” Luckily, there is an easy way to predict the spicy outcome, and it was right under…

And they all allow you see different combinations of information about your wireless setup (and the wireless setups of those around you).

After news broke that scandal-prone Scott Pruitt, the head of the Environmental Protection Agency, purchased $1,560 worth of pens on the taxpayer’s dime, it got us thinking: What’s the best pen? (He bought personalized journals too, but that’s a topic for another day.)

When hosting a dinner party, it can be easy to focus on the food and forget about the party. Fortunately, you don’t need to do a whole lot (or buy a bunch of flowers) to make your home feel festive and welcoming. Just a few fancy details—like cloth napkins and good salt—will elevate the evening in a decidedly elegant…

This week on the increasingly inaccurately named Hack Your City, we’re collecting your tips for Yellowstone National Park. This place is nuts! Most of the world’s geysers are in Yellowstone.
