If you’re the kind of person who gets squeamish at the sight of blood, you might think that horror movies aren’t for you—but you should know that the genre isn’t all gore and guts. Take, for instance, movies like Get Out, A Quiet Place and Paranormal Activity which are (mostly) gore-free.

If you search the phrase “Halloween cocktails,” you will find many recipes for green or purple cocktails with names like “witch’s brew” or “witch’s heart,” or “melted witch.” Most of these cocktails are overly sweet, and few of them enticing.

Like any sort of vehicle rental, the pricing for moving trucks isn’t always what it seems. You’ll see a great deal—“Moves from $19.95!” or “Reserve for just $20!”—but inevitably, when you call to actually make that reservation, it turns out the cost is often twice that much, maybe more. When you start looking for a…

Chrome 78 is here. With luck, your browser should have already updated by now to the brand-new version, which comes with bug fixes, security patches, and speedier, hovering boxes when you move your mouse over tabs. There are also two fun features buried within Chrome 78 that requires a bit of digging to enable.

Hopscotch is the perfect activity for kids. It keeps them fairly contained and safe while letting them work off some steam. Plus, it’s fun. But what do you do when it’s cold or rainy outside and the kids need to jump? You bring it indoors with bubble wrap.

All you have to do is is type “cal.new” or “meeting.new” in Google chrome to be taken straight to the Calendar event creation page.

I’ve never once made a crepe, but I find myself using this carbon steel crepe pan from 200-year-old French cookware manufacturer de Buyer multiple times a week. It’s my favorite kitchen tool for making frittatas, omelettes, and more. After it’s seasoned (instructions are provided with your purchase), the pan is…

Disney+, the newest and cheapest major streaming service, gives you less bang for your buck than Netflix, Hulu, and Prime Video. Reelgood, the site that sorts through all your streaming services, calculated how many shows and movies each service offers, in a report provided to Lifehacker.

If you think you’re earning more money than the person you just started dating, it might be a good idea to keep that to yourself—at least for a little while.

According to numerous reports, a recent firmware update—automatic, of course—has killed a number of Google Home and Google Home Mini speakers. There’s no way to tell whether yours could be affected until the firmware update drops (and it should have already, given these reports have been hitting since September or so).

You can do cardio intervals just about anywhere, as we’re discovering during this month’s fitness challenge: your living room is a classic, or you can hop on a bike or lace up your running shoes. But sometimes the simplest choice is to visit the gym and take your pick of the cardio equipment there.

It’s important for babies to sleep in order for parents to hope to get a little of their own rest, which is how we can arrive pretty quickly at the “do whatever works” strategy. But more reports are coming out that some of the products parents use—and…

On Saturday, temporary collection sites will be set up around the country to accept all of your unused, expired, and otherwise unwanted prescription drugs as part of National Drug Take Back day, which will help prevent improper disposal of drugs into our environment or misuse. According to a 2018 survey on drug use…

You don’t need to wait for an apple picking haul—or even the fall season—to make apple cider doughnuts. And you don’t need to be afraid of frying them in your own kitchen, either. Doughnuts are one of the easiest pastries you can make—no special equipment required. You don’t even need a mixer.

Computers can do many jobs more quickly than humans, but they tend to copy our mistakes—after all, they learned it from watching us. Scientists have found that a major algorithm used in hospitals is biased against black patients, because it’s reflecting racial health disparities that already existed.
