Chrome extensions are great. They can help you write better, keep pesky ads at bay, and save you money while you shop, among hundreds of other tasks. However, like Android apps on the Play Store, extensions on the Chrome Web Store aren’t always what they seem. Malware is very much a concern, and you certainly don’t…

You guys know I’m a fan of the devilishly hard Wordle variations, like Antiwordle and Squardle. But sometimes I just want to play a Wordle variation because I like Wordle and would like to have another serving of it, please. Hurdle obliges, with only a slight twist.

I hate talking about cast iron. It’s just a pan (or a material with which they make pans, Dutch ovens, etc.), but it’s a pan that brings all the nerds to the yard, and they’re like “my seasoning method is better than yours.” They love to talk about thermal conductivity and polymerization, two subjects I’ve tried my…

You renovate your bathroom, only to realize too late that you haven’t accounted for sufficient storage in the shower. Or you’ve inherited an existing shower that has exactly one modestly sized niche that will never be big enough to store all your necessary bottles. You might think you’re doomed to a life with one of…

Sometimes—and for reasons that don’t involve future blackmail plans—you need to record your phone calls. Maybe you’re interviewing someone over the phone and want to refer to the call later, or you’re talking with a shady company that will deny the details of your call without proof. Whatever the case, Android users…

If you’ve ever tasted New Orleans-style coffee, you may know that some of its unique flavor is due to the addition of chicory. Chicory is the root of an endive plant, which gets roasted, ground, and added into coffee. The use of chicory was introduced by the French as a way of dealing with coffee shortages, and the…

It’s official: No sector is safe from rising labor and supply costs. Shake Shack CEO Randy Garutti recently announced a 3.5% price increase on all items, on top of another 3.5% increase from just in October. Fast food once existed as a cheap and convenient option for those living a life on the go—but with the…

Gardening can be demoralizing if, after hours of sweaty work, your results are lackluster and your plants decimated by bugs or eaten by deer. Worse is when the flowers you did manage to coax into bloom don’t bother showing up again the next year. That’s why perennials are so important for any flower garden—because…

Nearly four years ago, Lifehacker’s Senior Food Editor Claire Lower posted an excellent article entitled Surprisingly Good Life Lessons From the Satanic Bible.

I recently boarded a plane for only the second time since March 2020, and I’m here to tell you: Flying has not gotten any more pleasant. Seats are just as cramped, cabins are just as loud, and flights feel just as full. Airline travel, in general, is a big mess, thanks staff shortages, overbooking, delays,…

Many gardeners like to use raised beds to grow their bounty—they create a lovely border, limit weeds, and are easier on your back—but they can also be quite costly to fill, especially if they’re more than a foot high. You don’t need to buy several bags of soil to get good quality, nutrient-rich material for your…

Maybe you’ve hit a career rut, or you need one-on-one guidance to overcome a personal struggle—whatever it is, self-help books aren’t cutting it. Asking for help can be the key to getting ahead. But who exactly should you turn to? If you’ve started your search for guidance, you’ve probably seen three different titles…

Even though I started this stretching challenge with the idea of finding out whether I could become more flexible, I have to admit that I was kind of secretly hoping it would not work. After all, if it doesn’t work, that means I can quit guilt-free.

There are certain assumptions that are made about Southern cooking that do not apply to me, mostly the ones that hinge on the concept that most Southern food is homemade. My family was quite poor for a very long time—I’m two or three generations removed from living in a house with dirt floors, depending which branch…

Insurance for body parts has long been part of our cultural mythology. Jennifer Lopez has been dogged by rumors her ass is insured for years, and those rumors persist even though she’s denied them. There are reports that Dolly Parton’s breasts are insured, and Heidi Klum has been open about how both her legs are…

Eating healthy is fine and all, but a lot of so-called “healthy” eating is either too labor-intensive, too low-calorie, or otherwise not a great value for your money or time. Fortunately, the redditors at r/EatCheapandHealthy have solutions. Today, let’s look at their suggestions for high-protein meals that are easy…

Some people seem to have a “green thumb”—a natural affinity with houseplants that lets them grow anything, anywhere. I am not one of these people. The only way I can grow anything is by ignoring my natural instinct, breaking things down logically, and following a strict schedule. But my plants live a lot longer thanks…
