Every home-buying decision is full of non-negotiables and nice-to-haves; beyond location, price, and size, we all have a list of our most-desired features. And what a house needs to be an optimally functioning home for your family is vastly different than what you need on your own. If you have a young child, or are…

Meat isn’t your only option if you want a burger, a barbecue sandwich, or a savory centerpiece of a traditionally meat-containing dish. But not all of the plant-based meat alternatives are equal nutritionally. Here’s how some of the top options stack up:

Breakups are tough. You were planning a life with someone, but something went wrong, and now it might feel like you’ll never be happy again. But your life isn’t over. The world isn’t ending. Of course, you might not feel any optimism or realism for a while—and it’s fine to really feel these lows. Here’s some expert…

When it comes to pancakes, I am a bit of an obnoxious purist. Though I appreciate the occasional chocolate and cheese flapjack (a Weencake, if you will), my favorite flavor of pancake is buttermilk, and my favorite toppers are butter and maple syrup.

Google Chrome’s default settings are (surprise) far from ideal for those who care about privacy. And if you’re among those people—but aren’t ready to jump ship to another browser—there are a few other easy ways to reduce Google’s tracking on Chrome.

Re-entering the work force after taking time off to take care of young children is no easy feat. Logistically speaking, there’s a resume gap, a potential lapse in relevant industry connections, and childcare to set up. Behind the scenes, there’s often confidence to rebuild, guilt to tackle, and the mental load of…

The sitcom is among TV’s oldest and most venerable forms—and the ways in which they have attempted to reflect our “working class” economic realities are as interesting as the ways they’ve tried to obscure them.

If you’re still hanging on to a years-old iPhone and resisting the pressure to buy the latest, shiniest version, props to you. You’re probably experiencing slower performance and outdated features, among other things, but Apple is said to support iPhones with iOS upgrades for around seven years—long beyond a 1–2 year…

You’ve probably heard this before: When you’re anxious or stressed, there are breathing exercises that can help. And even though you’ve heard it before, you probably ignored the idea, because something as natural as breathing doesn’t seem like it needs much practice. But there are exercises that you definitely should…

After a breakup, there are a few things you can do to get through the emotional upheaval, sometimes in conjunction with each other. You can mope and spend a few days in bed. You can undertake a forced glow-up and hit the gym. You can surround yourself with friends and have a distracting blast. Or, you can throw…

Last week, I wrote about a friend of mine who admitted they had so much trouble getting their family out the door on time that they made their kids sleep in their school clothes for the next day. It occurred to me that this sort of slightly-sketchy-but-totally-effective parenting maneuver was probably more the rule…

Potatoes are easily manipulated. Slice, dice, mash, fry, boil, bake—they will all create a completely different dish, and you can achieve a wide variety of flavors and textures without too much work on your part. Take the tater tot and french fry, for example: Both are fried, but it’s the stuff that happens before the…

VPNs are an important digital security tool for political activists, journalists, and security researchers, but they’re now popular among general internet users thanks to the increased privacy they offer—and because they let you access region-locked content.

Anyone who has ever had to face the sticker-shock associated with replacing a vehicle’s tire (or, worse, all of them) has probably wondered whether they could just opt for a used tired instead. Well, you can—but you probably shouldn’t. As Consumer Reports put it: “We say, ‘Nay, nay.’ Don’t buy used tires: You don’t…

Most of us, myself included, spend a significant portion of our day sitting—usually on chairs or couches. Sitting all day long isn’t great for our health, but if possible, switching to sitting on the floor (even just for short periods of time) actually can help improve our overall health. That’s because the movements…
