Even if you rarely rent a car, you probably know the usual restrictions for doing so: You need a valid driver’s license, you have to be at least 25, and you need a credit card. But that third rule is changing, at least in some locations.

We throw a lot of shade at big tech companies and the ways their products can seep into every facet of modern life, but their devices can sometimes be life-changers for those in need. For people living with paralysis or other movement disabilities, hands-free and voice-controlled devices—such as smart speakers or AI…

For the uninitiated, camping with small children may seem like a dramatic dinner party story waiting to happen. There are so many unknowns. Will a wad of burnt marshmallow get stuck in your kid’s hair? Will he faceplant in the dirt on the middle-of-the-night trudge to the bathroom? Will she beg to go home for the…

Alcohol is not known for its sleep-promoting qualities. In fact, nothing ensures I have a terrible, unrestful night like a parade of high-proof cocktails. But a little bit of alcohol—a scoach—can calm the mind and relax the muscles. Pair that with melatonin-rich sour cherry juice (and maybe a glass or two of water),…

Creatine is a rare thing in the world of workout supplements: It actually works, plus it’s cheap and safe. If you’re trying to build muscle or lift the heaviest things around, you might want to get into the habit of taking creatine every day—but there are, of course, some caveats.

We’re so over the thrill of PreCheck or priority boarding. Now, the hottest new thing to do at the airport is to go to the lounge. No longer a haven only for weary business travelers or international flyers with long layovers, lounges are the key to saving money on expensive airport food and beverages for many…

Samsung is offering generous trade-in offers on the latest Samsung Galaxy, Google Pixel, and iPhone smartphones, plus deals on plenty of older handsets. That includes paying you the full price of a regular Google Pixel 3—$600, as of publication time.

Once in a while, you just feel like laying down to take a nap, right? No, you do not. You have just committed the (common) sin of mixing up your lays and your lies.

Regal Cinemas is launching its unlimited movie subscription service any day now, and they’ve published the details of the plan, which costs $18-$23.50/mo depending on your location. Here are the most important parts, the catches to watch out for, and how to join.

If your home has a lot of interior doors that lock, sooner or later you’re bound to lose the key, lock it inside the room, or discover your toddler has locked himself in and cannot get out. Calling a locksmith each time is inconvenient (and expensive); instead, you can learn to pick your own locks.

As someone who usually defaults to tracking expenses by hand, I challenged myself this month to determine the best app to facilitate expense-tracking. There are plenty of options out there, but I put Daily Budget, Wally, EveryDollar, and Dollarbird through the wringer of my everyday spending.

When it comes to turning unappealing kitchen scraps into something delicious, banana peels are one of the most difficult to work with. They’re rubbery and bitter when raw. But! With a little bit of frying, and a lot of sugar and salt, you can transform them into a crispy, savory and sweet candied strip that—when…

If you hadn’t noticed already, Twitter just got a major facelift, changing its design to more closely resembles its sleek, mobile app. With a larger navigation panel, the platform now lets you change your feed’s background color and font size. But not everyone is a fan.

We’ve talked about how to balance on one foot and on your hands, but sometimes it’s nice to do an exercise that’s not just about balance. Plenty of standard strength training moves can be done in a one-sided way, challenging your brain and body and giving you a heck of a core workout.

Even though I drive several different vehicles, I’m always a little worried when it’s time to fill them up. Will something happen if I use 87 instead of 93, or vice versa? In short, it depends.

The Delta Aquarids meteor shower is getting ready to peak on Sunday and Monday, so if you’re going to try to catch it, now’s your chance. Although it favors the Southern Hemisphere, it’s still visible from mid-northern latitudes. Wherever you are, the best time to try to catch the shower is between midnight and dusk.

I’m craving a big loaf of egg bread and I blame TasteAtlas. This slick food-hunting site identifies local foods and drinks from around the world, then shows you the best restaurants to order them from. So now I’m hungry for Georgian khachapuri, and Rocca Imperiale lemons, and Ipoh white coffee.

My two kids are opposites in almost every possible way. My son is noisy, impulsive, confident, quirky and clever. My daughter is medium-volumed, thoughtful, hesitant, compliant and methodical. My son needs lots of reminders to get things done, and my daughter accomplishes tasks without my even bringing them up. My son…

Since my taste test of hard seltzers, people have begun turning to me as their personal Hard Seltzer Explainer. I field the questions at parties, via text, on Twitter: What are hard seltzers made of? Who’s drinking them? But above all: Why are people so obsessed with White Claw?

When you’re headed overseas, researching tourist scams is important, but you should also make an effort to lookup local social customs—like whether eating with your hands is frowned down upon or the exact firmness needed for an introductory handshake.

Bad news, money-makers. The popular stock-trading app Robinhood recently sent emails to an undisclosed number of users, letting them know that the company made a bit of a boo-boo and stored their passwords on its servers in plaintext.
