Is mind-reading actually possible? How can we interpret body language to better understand what others are really thinking? In this week’s episode, Alice and Melissa are exploring these questions and more with the help of Swedish mentalist Henrik Fexeus (aka “Sweden’s Derren Brown”). Henrik is the author of the…

Thanksgiving leftovers are not exactly a burden, but they do require a small amount of strategy. Half-full casserole dishes covered with plastic wrap may seem like the path of least resistance, but they stack poorly and often take up a large amount of space. For a truly pleasant leftover storage experience, get thee…

If you need a little help figuring out how to lock down your smart home devices (or those you’re considering purchasing), Mozilla is here to help. I recommend spending some time scanning through its “Privacy Not Included” list and bookmarking the pages for any devices you own. Not only does the site round up all the…

If you’re traveling for the Thanksgiving holiday, here’s a tip: Give yourself plenty of time at the airport. As is the case every year, this Thanksgiving holiday will be one of the busiest traveling days in 2019—AAA estimates that 4.45 million Americans will be flying this Thursday, alone. According to USA Today,…

’Tis the season for pie, eggnog, resisting the urge to “OK boomer” your parents, and package theft. What a mixed bag. But having your packages stolen is now a reliable part of the modern holiday season. Package theft spikes in November and December, which is not surprising when you think about the rise of online…

Microsoft is preventing certain PCs running older versions of AVG and Avast antivirus software and outdated Qualcomm WiFi drivers from installing Windows 10 versions 1809, 1903, and 1909. Here’s why: Microsoft no longer allows Windows 10 to automatically update on any and all systems due to potential bugs and…

If you drive a car, you should probably know how to jump-start it in case the battery dies. But it’s one of those things where everyone has a different way of doing it, so how do you know which way is right? You’re dealing with batteries and engines, after all—you want to make sure you’re everything everything…

“I can’t fucking stand people who don’t know the difference between a ‘reason’ and an ‘excuse,’” says redditor raspberrykoolaid, talking about those repugnant people who can’t sympathize with any problem they haven’t faced themselves, and think that everyone else is just offering excuses. You don’t want to be one of…

It’s not enough that we have to do all the holiday shopping, go to all the school concerts and pick up Starbucks gift cards for all the overworked teachers in our lives—we have to turn the house into a red and green winter wonderland, too?

This Thanksgiving, give yourself one more thing to be grateful for: a day without smartphones.

It is both easy and apparently cool to hate green bean casserole. Admittedly, “canned green beans mixed with canned condensed cream of mushroom soup topped with canned fried onions” doesn’t sound great, but hating on something because it comes from a can reveals more about the hater than the dish itself.

T-Mobile has confirmed a data breach has affected a subset of its customers, with additional reporting from TechCrunch putting that figure at an estimated 1M+ accounts (or so). In other words, this is a big breach, but you shouldn’t freak out. Don’t ignore it, but don’t get nervous.

Thanksgiving is coming up, which means it’s our once-a-year opportunity to stuff ourselves to a ridiculous degree, all while saying how much we’re going to regret this later as we simultaneously insist that little Billy tries some of Grandma’s green bean casserole.

It’s that time of year again: Open enrollment season for your employer benefits, which, if you’re lucky, includes the Flexible Spending Account (FSA). If you’ve always told yourself around this time “I should really take advantage of my FSA” but never do, now’s the time to correct that financial mistake. Having an FSA…

Let’s think all the way back to the end of the last decade. 2009: well before streaming services dominated entertainment, when you had to either a) purchase these items from an online store (like iTunes), b) purchase them from a physical store (remember those?) or c) mine your roommate’s music library hoping they had K…

It’s inevitable after every holiday meal: Once the dishes are cleared, the plates are stacked, and the dishwasher is loaded, out come the Ziploc bags, the Tupperware, and the plastic wrap for the solemn division of the leftovers. Everyone must take part in this postprandial rite, even if it’s just a symbolic scoop of…

The YouTube Haiku subreddit collects good videos up to 30 seconds long. The best are sometimes funny, sometimes touching, sometimes bewildering. I’ve been a connoisseur of the genre for seven years. I’ve collected my favorites below. They’re absolute snack food—you think you can have just one or two ten-second hits,…

You turkeys probably think Netflix has you covered with a bunch of fun new content to hoover up while you’re squirreled away in your room, avoiding your cousin’s incoherent impeachment rant. And you wouldn’t be totally wrong to assume as much! Assume away, make an ass out of u and me, your cousin is doing just fine on…
