If stargazing is on your summer agenda, then dust off your telescope: thanks to black supermoons, the next two weekends will be ideal. Here’s what that means and how to make the most of these extra-dark nights.

Traveling can open your eyes to so many things. Just recently, on my way to a sous vide conference, I saw a woman eating a full-blown thing of Cup Noodles at 5:10 in the dang a.m. Obviously, this woman is a hero, and should be revered as such.

Now that we’re on Beta 5 of Android Q, we’re getting very close to the official release of the new version of the operating system. Google has only intended to release six total betas before the final release candidate goes live, and the company has narrowed the Android Q launch window down to the “third quarter” of…

Every summer, there are scary news stories about people who catch infections—and sometimes die—from germs in the water. Here’s what you should know about some of the high-profile (but rare!) infections that have been in the news lately.

It’s time again for another PSA about updating your old- to semi-old Android devices, this time to protect your smartphones and tablets from a newly discovered exploit that could let hackers take control of an Android device via malicious code embedded in video files played on the device.

You can target the air conditioning toward your body, your feet or both. You can crank it up from cool to super cold. But in the heat of the summer, if you’re not using your car’s “air recirculation” button, you’re not getting the coolest driving experience possible.

Gum is good, but if bubble blowing, gum popping, or just the act of chewing in general offends you, it might be wise to exclusively look to mints for your breath-freshening needs.

The Federal Reserve is scheduled to lower interest rates this week. What does that mean, and how might it affect your spending decisions?

Before you head to the airport, be sure to check your reservation for an actual ticket number—or you might end up paying for a $1,200 same-day flight.

Two meteor showers—the Delta Aquarids and the Alpha Capricornids—are both reaching their peak tonight and into Tuesday morning. And with a moon that will be just 6% full, the dark skies could be the perfect stage for quite a meteor show.

Stubborn, sticky price stickers and their residue can mar an otherwise pretty dish, and stores always seem to stick ‘em right in the center of the plate (or bowl, or platter). If you’re lucky, they peel off in one piece, leaving a smidge of adhesive behind that’s easily scraped off with your fingernail. But the more…

The computer ate my term paper! We’ve all been there. You delete an important file—maybe even shift-delete it by accident (on Windows)—or you forget about it until that split-second after you clear out your Recycle Bin or Trash. It’s gone forever, right?

We asked for your gym etiquette questions, and you answered! Or, rather, asked. A lot. Thanks! Today we’ll tackle a tough question about what to do when somebody is using the equipment you want, and seemingly wasting their (and your) time.

Having a bad day when everything goes wrong and feels off can happen from time to time. But then there are longer stretches that can turn into weeks or months of feeling unmotivated, lost or hopeless. Life may keep piling it on, but here are a few starting points for how you can climb out of your hole and get back on…

After many lessons, my six-year-old daughter is becoming a proficient swimmer. She can tread water, retrieve toys at the bottom of the pool, and find her way to the wall after jumping into the deep end. But there’s a skill she still needs to learn, and it’s one that I don’t think her instructors will be teaching. That…

Emotions can be hard to manage. We spend a lot of time trying to regulate them with things like yoga, meditation, deep breathing in a locked bathroom, or a good old-fashioned bitch session with our friends.

In Scottsboro, Alabama, there’s an “Unclaimed Baggage Center” store full of mink furs and iPads—items left on flights that were never claimed by their owners and now up for sale. As the New York Times writes, these items might have been intentionally ditched, forgotten or just ... lost.
