It’s a novice carpenter’s worst nightmare: you’re trying to tighten or remove a screw, and you find the head is stripped. You press the screwdriver or drill bit into the head and try to turn, but there’s no friction. Try throwing a little back into your screw twists, and if that fails, try these stripped screw removal…

A recent study found that some chemicals in sunscreen can be found in your blood after just a day of applying them liberally, but don’t freak out just yet—sunscreen is still considered safe to use, and you don’t even necessarily need to switch brands.

So much of parenting a young child involves maneuvering your aging body up and down. Your kid wants to go feed the goldfish, so you get up. Then he wants to play with floor puzzles, so you get down. Then he wants a snack, so you’re up again. And then you’re down. And then you’re up. And then down. And then up. And…

If you took part in the recent discourse—or shall we say “spritzcourse”—surrounding a certain summertime beverage, you now know that some people do not enjoy the Aperol spritz, and feel it “drinks like a Capri Sun after soccer practice on a hot day,” but “not in a good way.”

Scoring the phone number of someone you’re interested in feels like a major victory, and it is. But it’s also just the beginning. Once you’ve got that number in hand, you have to figure out what to actually text the person, and when, and how often. So no pressure, but your entire romantic future here could be…

Every now and then, you might feel the urge. You can’t imagine why you ever picked out a couch in that shade of grey. You’re starting to think the antique lamp looks less “antique” and more “old.” And yeah, that coffee table was a hand-me-down from your aunt when you moved into your first apartment after college. You…

I’ve never been good at Minesweeper, and I think I must have been at least half my age the last time I played the game. It’s hard to make the click-you’re fine, click-you’re dead gameplay sexy, but Google has done an admirable job with its open-source iteration, Proxx.

In March, the mountains of Lake Elsinore, California experienced its annual bloom of fiery-orange poppies—and Instagram users flocked there, cameras and smartphones in hand, and fucked it all up.

We’ve talked about how using a credit card with good trip delay insurance, like the Chase Sapphire Reserve or Chase Sapphire Preferred card, can be palliative when things go awry in the airport, but a recent, nightmarish travel experience stretched my own perception of what this benefit can be used for.

We’ve all set up rewards systems for ourselves. Maybe we tell ourselves that we can order a pizza if we spend all day cleaning the house, or maybe we tell ourselves that once we finish this task at work, we can spend a few minutes checking social media. (And then if we find ourselves checking social media before we’ve…

Trader Joe’s Everything But the Bagel seasoning is good at many things, but sticking to dry snack foods like popcorn and french fries isn’t one of them. The mixture of seeds, fairly large pieces of dehydrated garlic, and coarse salt is fairly heavy for a seasoning, meaning it has a tendency to fall towards the bottom…

As you might have heard, President Trump just raised tariffs on $200 billion worth of Chinese goods—from 10% to 25%.

When you become a parent, you get a lot of parenting advice. Some of it’s outdated (“Mom, I know you let me sleep in a dresser drawer, but we will be using a crib”) or even hilarious (“Enjoy every moment? You mean like the one right now when my kid is screaming in the produce aisle because she wants to adopt a sweet…

There are a lot of apps out there to track your period, your mental health ups and downs, and more. But the simplest way to keep track of what’s going on with your body is just to create a calendar (in Google Calendar or wherever you keep your appointments) called “health.”

“Farm to table” may seem like an over-utilized marketing phrase, used mostly to lure hipsters into Edison-bulb-lit eateries, and for the most part it is. But for Chef Christian F. Puglisi—the founder of Copenhagen’s Restaurant Relae—it means taking that first word very seriously.

When the boss says “I have a problem,” my ears perk up. Lifehacker is fine; we haven’t been blown up by PAM. However, Melissa can’t get her Gmail to load no matter what she tries—an issue that’s been plaguing her for months. It’s a peculiarity that makes me go “hmmmm,” since I never have issues loading Gmail.

My old jalopy is about to die on me yet again, so it’s time for a new car. I’m wondering if I’d be better off leasing my next car instead of buying it. Which is the better deal, leasing or buying with an auto loan?

When Amazon launched its kid’s version of the Echo Dot smart speaker a year ago, we hoped it would be a technological blessing, rather than a curse. But as further proof that private information is no longer sacred, a complaint filed yesterday with the Federal Trade Commission alleges that the devices are unlawfully…
