Plenty of human snack foods are bad news for dogs, as you may remember from our advice not to give your dog turkey skin on Thanksgiving and to keep them away from all kinds of candy, not just chocolate, on Halloween. So you won’t be surprised to learn that your Super Bowl party spread also has a bunch of things you’ll…

Do you have a preschooler or toddler? Do they toddle and do adorable things like giggle uncontrollably when you pretend to bump into walls, say “blankely” instead of blanket, and occasionally send an aggressive spray of their own spittle in your direction? Oh wait, that last one’s not actually cute.

Ceilings are often overlooked elements in our homes, but a little bit of texture or some color can really add a lot to a room. If pressed tin ceiling tiles are out of your budget, there are simpler ways to add some expensive-looking detail without breaking the bank. Here’s how to achieve a fast update that perfectly…

Few companies make it difficult to sign up for their services. In fact, many make it way too easy to enroll, offering free trials, discounts, and other enticing perks to prospective customers. However, what’s really scummy is when those same companies make it damn near impossible to cancel your membership.

A sore throat isn’t exactly the end of the world, but when you have that scratchy, hurts-to-swallow feeling, you’re surely looking for relief beyond an endless stream of cough drops. What other scientifically-backed, at-home methods can you use to soothe the pain?

I am bad at Valentine’s Day. Or, maybe, I am very good at it. My boyfriend and I get each other gifts if the right gift presents itself—this usually takes the form of a vintage pornography poster—but neither of us force the issue. Sometimes we’ll make spaghetti. Sometimes we sous vide lobster tails. We almost always…

Even if you aren’t paying attention to Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies, you might have noticed that their value plummeted last week, with the total value of the market tumbling from a high of $3 trillion last year to about $1.5 trillion in a matter of days. Bitcoin, the most famous and largest cryptocurrency, saw…

If you’ve ever wished you could keep Microsoft Word pinned to your screen while jotting down notes from a lecture on Zoom or from a YouTube video, you’re in luck. Thanks to Microsoft’s PowerToys for Windows—specifically, the Always On Top utility—you can now pin your most important windows so they stay fixed …

Last year at this time, I might’ve predicted we’d have a much clearer picture of the future state of the movie industry by now. COVID has dramatically accelerated decades-long trends toward shorter theatrical windows and, in some cases, completely smashed them, as films dropped on streaming simultaneously or skipped…

If you’re one of the unlucky taxpayers still waiting for your 2020 returns, don’t expect this year to be any better. Numerous sources have reported that the 2022 tax filing season is again going to be full of major delays. The Treasury Department warned at the start of this year that the IRS will face “enormous…

With a growing need for vegan and vegetarian recipes, creative cooks and food companies have come up with some pretty clever plant-based meat replacements. While this is fantastic for eaters of all stripes, there’s a catch: When large communities or cultures are introduced to an ingredient for the first time as a…

Recently, we asked you to share your partner’s grossest habits and (un?) fortunately, you delivered.

Some were tame. “My wife is a vegetarian and she has the most smelly, deadly farts”—I mean, that’s just a regular Tuesday for a lot of people. Others...well. We have no words, really. They certainly fit the “gross”…

I did not grow up watching the Super Bowl. The closest thing my home state of Mississippi has to a professional football team is the Saints, but my dad and grandfather were far too busy cussing at the TV while watching Mississippi State lose to pay attention to any of that. Besides, the Super Bowl always falls on a…

Snoring can bother your bed partner, and can sometimes be a red flag for health conditions (notably, obstructive sleep apnea). But sometimes you’ve got a snoring habit that is harmless and still drives your partner nuts. Here are some of the ways you can become a quieter sleeper.

It’s almost Valentine’s Day. Sometimes called “Oh, shit, I forgot again” Day, the annual Feb. 14 celebration of love is marked by candy, greeting cards, and difficult-to-obtain dinner reservations, but where did Valentine’s Day come from? Why do we celebrate it? Who said we have to give people candy? What does it all …
