There are a variety of apps and sites available these days that can help you fill your prescriptions—and even get you prescriptions for things like birth control or some antibiotics. They’re convenient, cost- and time-effective, and easy to use—but are they totally on the up-and-up?

Back in the day—which for our purposes, we’ll define as the 1980s and ‘90s—parents operated differently. The opposite of “helicopter parents,” they were peak free range, letting their kids ride bikes for hours around the neighborhood, flit from house to house and yard to yard, drink from garden hoses, and only come…

Medication can be notoriously and prohibitively expensive in the U.S. Lack of price regulation, exclusivity rights, and general capitalistic forces contribute to this, but there are ways you might not be aware of that can save money on your prescriptions without forfeiting your health and financial stability.

It’s becoming rarer and rarer to see masks when you go out. If you live in a place where people were once good about masking up, chances are only a handful still do it. If your area is one where masks were rare to start with, I’d bet you haven’t seen a masked face in a while. But the pandemic isn’t over, and more than…

In an ideal world, software would have no security vulnerabilities. Code would be perfectly written, omitting any bugs or glitches in the system that could be taken advantage of for hacking or other malicious purposes. As hard as developers might try to make that a reality, the truth is we will always have imperfect…

If you’re a college student, two things are likely to be true: You probably love consuming streaming media, and you’re probably broke. But if you need to cut back your entertainment budget, there might be a way to do it without canceling one of your streaming subscriptions—a handful of major services offer discounts…

The sheer variety of cake that exists in the world is thrilling, if a little overwhelming. Deciding between a butterfly-shaped cake with motors in it or a tower of bougie three-dollar cupcakes the size of a thumbnail can leave you questioning your life choices.

If you live in an area with slugs, you know they can be a major garden nuisance. Nothing can ruin your elaborate gardening plans like seeing the remains of your tender seedlings eaten through down to the nibs. Unfortunately, slugs are notoriously hard to control without using pesticides that are damaging to other …

When learning to drive, one of the first things we’re taught is how to shift the vehicle into different gears (especially if it’s manual transmission): “D” to drive, “R” to reverse, “P” to park, and so on. There’s also usually a warning that if the car is in neutral and you’re on any type of hill, it can roll away. …

This week, you might have noticed a curious—albeit frustrating—issue affecting Instagram on iPhone: When you went to view someone’s new stories, the app would replay all their old stories, as well. This happened anytime they’d upload a new story, meaning you’d possibly have to skip through the same stories multiple…

Game publisher Bethesda announced Starfield back in 2018, but this week they opened the info-taps and dropped a ton of new details—and a 15 minute video of the open-world sci-fi RPG in action. It’s impressive: There will be 1,000 planets spread over 100 solar systems, building and customizing your own spaceship, a huge…

Severe sunburns come with a variety of symptoms and issues, from nausea to bright red skin—they can even require medical intervention. They can also come with blisters, which require their own care and treatment. Caring for sunburn blisters is tricky, though. They can be numerous, painful, and fragile. Here’s how to…

I was at a college party the first time I heard it: “If you break the seal,” my friend said darkly, “you’ll break the deal.” I was on my way to the bathroom, a standard and reasonable journey we all undertake multiple times per day—but, according to party legend, one that should put off as long as possible when…

I am a decidedly mediocre baker and an even worst decorator. As someone with a near-constant tremor that gets worse whenever I try to do fine, precise work, it’s just not something I’m going to be good at. But my biggest issue with baking and decorating cakes has little to do with my skills of an artist, and more to…

Every piece of tech carries the risk of bugs and security flaws, but Macs running Apple’s M1 chips are apparently vulnerable to an all-new category of threat. Security researchers at MIT’s Computer Science & Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL) have discovered a hardware-based exploit—dubbed “PACMAN”—that could…

If you’re an entrepreneur who can work remotely, or one of the lucky ones whose employer isn’t requiring you to return to the office full-time, you may be interested in becoming a “digital nomad”—someone who’s able to legally live and work in a foreign country longer than a tourist visa would allow—for a period of one…
