Google Podcasts is a relatively new podcast service, and while its current focus is its mobile app, there are a couple features hidden away in a browser version that aren’t normally accessible. Specifically, users can play podcasts in their browser and pull auto-generated transcriptions for episodes with just a few…

It’s a cold, hard truth that people who prefer chicken breasts to thighs are less sensual. Like the plastic-wrapped styrofoam packaging you’ll find them in, boneless, skinless, joyless chicken breasts take the primal pleasure out of eating. The things that remind us that the meat came from a living, breathing…

Before I got married, I read some advice on a wedding message board: Buy a new fragrance and use it for the first time on your wedding day. Every time you use it in the future, the smell will transport you back to the big day.

A variety of well known companies—including Levi Strauss, Uber and Lyft—have plans to go public this year. But if you’re looking to add a few “unicorns” to your portfolio, you should pump the brakes for the time being.

I used to love Grammarly, the helpful browser plugin that analyzes what you type and calls out your poor spelling and grammar choices—for you to fix or ignore, depending on what kind of a writer you are. I ended up uninstalling it after a few months because it seemed to be a bit of a resource hog, and I found that…

There are different opinions on the question of how competitive you should be when playing board games with your children. On one end of the spectrum, there are parents who let their kids win every time, determined to protect their fragile souls from the crushing agony of defeat. On the other end, there are those who…

Ever since Serial came along in 2014 and awakened the world to the wonders of podcasting, true crime fans have been looking for a way to recreate that high. The story of high school senior Hae Min Lee’s murder and the conviction of her ex-boyfriend, Adnan Sayed has since received a TON of press and has been turned…

New York is actually a great city to wander in—it’s pretty safe, pedestrian friendly, and laced with public parks and waterfronts. But when Lifehacker sent a team to Tokyo to find the local hacks, damn was I jealous of the city planning. There are lots of touches that make Tokyo easy to navigate and pleasant to wander.

Traveling on your own is an incredibly rewarding experience, but it has its dangers. The number of women traveling alone has been on the rise in recent years, and the tactics for staying safe while on the road have gotten increasingly sophisticated—and important.

I have a few go-to sites when I’m looking for information on products I’m interested in buying, like the Wirecutter, the Strategist and Amazon comments (though you’ll have to be careful there).

In 1990, two significant things happened: I had a dinosaur-themed birthday party, and McDonald’s changed their french fry recipe. One might argue that someone who was four in 1990 couldn’t possibly remember the iconic flavor of the original McDonald’s fry, but I remember my dinosaur-themed birthday party in extreme…

With this week’s 5 Neat Things, we’ve come to the and of my March bed-making challenge, LAMOB. The idea was this: Make your bed every day in March. That’s all! Lots of people do this thing and if you gave it a whirl this year, I’d for sure love to hear what you thought of my little behavioral experiment.

In our latest edition of “Hack or Wack,” we’re taking a look at this viral tweet from a St. Louis native:

Ah, the humble dishwasher. This appliance saves you time and water, and prevents back pain (dishwashing can get awfully uncomfortable, even with one of those mats for standing at the kitchen sink).

Gmail’s template feature just got a badly needed redesign. Poorly named “canned responses,” this isn’t the feature where Gmail suggests a two-word reply to an email. (That’s “smart reply.”) This is a much more useful feature, buried in the “Advanced” settings menu on Gmail’s desktop interface, that lets you save…

There’s a new Twitter prank going around that suggests that if you change your birthday to 2007, the year Twitter launched, you’ll be able to unlock a new color scheme, get admin privileges on the platform, get cash, or even get yourself a coveted blue verified check mark. There’s just one problem: doing so will…
