Water can’t exactly go bad, if what you have is truly just water and it’s in a sealed bottle. There aren’t any nutrients for bacteria to eat, so it’s not like you can get food poisoning. So why does bottled water have a “best by” date on it?

If you’re trying to furnish your home for little-to-no money, you quickly learn (maybe while using a plastic storage bin as a coffee table) that it can be a hassle. But you don’t always have money to throw at the problem to quickly get decent furniture in your new place. So you play the back-and-forth email…

When you’re following a recipe, you’ll probably notice that it provides two pieces of guiding information: how long you should cook an ingredient, and what that ingredient should look like before moving on to the next step (or plating). For the best-tasting food, you should (mostly) ignore that first bit, and focus on…

When my first foster son lived with us for a year, he was my constant shadow. That sweet boy followed close behind me wherever I went, especially when it was time to prep dinner. He was never interested in watching a show while I cooked; he’d rather be with me—as close as physically possible—as I moved from the dining…

It’s been a few days since iOS 13 arrived and brought its system-wide dark theme to iPhones, and already the list of apps that support the new dark UI has expanded beyond the initial batch.

A few years back, Unroll.me promised to help users unsubscribe from email newsletters en masse, for free.
