For some reason, the tiny things we drop on the ground are never the ones we could stand to lose. Nope, it’s always the back to a favorite pair of earrings, your wedding band, or a pill you can’t afford to miss a dose of.

If you take multiple prescriptions, or have started using an oner-the-counter medication or supplement, it’s probably time to check in with your doctor.

You know that feeling you get when the teacher waves you over for a quick chat at school pick-up? Or when another parent stops you on your way to the car and says, “Hey, I thought you should know...” Or when a neighbor calls out your name as you head up to the front door with an armful of groceries and says, “I have…

CollegeHumor videos have set the standard for high-budget internet videos since the mid-2000s, making fun of stuff like fonts, comment sections, The Purge, “second puberty,” failing a test, eating with rich friends, guys who play guitar to get laid, and embarrassing Google searches. Their breakout series include Jake…

You love Lodge’s cast iron skillets, but have you tried their dutch oven? The three quart “combo cooker” only $27 on Amazon today, or about $9 less than usual. And while it’s an excellent dutch oven, its coolest feature is actually its lid. Just flip it over, and you’ve got yourself an extra cast iron skillet. That’s…

I love to start my day with curds and whey; they’re filling, neutral enough to pair deliciously with a variety of plant parts, and (most importantly) speedy. A bowl of cottage cheese takes the same amount of time to prepare as a bowl of cereal, but will keep you fuller for much longer. (Also, if you top it with a…

Nvidia, the dominant purveyor of PC graphics cards and all things related to making games look good, recently announced plans to open up its proprietary display rendering technology, “G-Sync,” for a handful of monitors that support the other variable refresh rate technology, AMD’s FreeSync.
