Expiration dates are meaningless, but there is still a feeling of unease that can come with munching down on a snack whose packaging claims it expired weeks or months ago. That’s why it’s helpful to know which foods are especially fine to consume post-expiration date—and which ones you actually should not.

Paying attention to the news cycle has never been particularly good for your mental health, but there’s something particularly upsetting about stories of natural disasters.

Do squats. That’s a standard piece of advice for getting strong, and if you’re interested in working with barbells, the story generally begins with “do barbell squats.” But how do you actually set up for squats? Today we’ll go through the steps in a way you’ll understand even if you’re a complete beginner, and cover…

A good pan sauce can be impressive—luxurious even—but it all hinges on the consistency. A too-thin sauce feels watery on the tongue and runs all over the plate, but it’s no reason to panic. You can fix yours with two cheap and ubiquitous kitchen staples.

Summer tomatoes are bountiful and at peak deliciousness right now. Maybe you’ve made about as many Caprese salads as you can take, and your neighbors don’t want anymore “gifts” (they’ve got their own surplus to devour). If you’re looking for a new way to chow down on these summer gems, use them as cups and stuff them.

It’s an emotional time of year. Many young adults are headed off to college for the first time, eliciting the mix of tremendous excitement and apprehension that comes with crossing any of life’s major thresholds. Some parents are despondent at the thought of seeing their kids off, while just as many can’t wait to…

All computers act up from time to time. When things go awry, my first recommendation is always to simply shut down and reboot: Often, this simple power cycle fixes the issue. However, you might run into the odd problem that doesn’t go away. Maybe your MacBook gets hot and stays hot, or the fans are spinning out of…

It’s hard to get a straight answer as to whether or not we’re currently in a recession. From crashing stock markets to spiking consumer prices, it’s safe to say the economy is struggling. At the very least, don’t look at your 401(k) right now.

The wifi password is a power both desired and feared: Everyone wants to know it, but forget it, and you’re toast. Why Microsoft and Apple make it difficult to find wifi passwords on Windows and Mac isn’t clear (this is valuable information, after all). But, rest assured, those passwords are available to you if you’re…

The streaming gods give, and the streaming god take away. This month, Hulu is adding a whole bunch of new content, including the latest seasons of The Handmaid’s Tale and Atlanta and acclaimed recent films like Petite Maman and The Eyes of Tammy Faye. It’s also losing a lot more, as an expiring agreement with NBC…

When it comes to hotel status, there are two types of travelers: those who have it, and those who don’t. And if you fall into the latter category, you might be wondering how you can get in on the benefits that come with being a loyalty member. You don’t necessarily need to stay loyal to just one hotel chain to reap…

I understand autumn anxiety and depression on a molecular level. I grew up in an East Coast tourist town, where the end of summer meant the boardwalk arcades closed and almost everyone drove away. We talked endless shit about the “shoobies”—our word for clueless summer visitors from Philly and North Jersey who could…

This summer did not go how I wanted it to go. A broken fridge (and oppressive summer heat) makes it hard to keep fresh produce in the house, and traveling (and even more oppressive summer heat) makes it hard to keep the garden in good shape. All of this resulted in me eating far less sweet corn than I usually do,…

There are some childhood dinners that stand out in your memory, permanently crystallized as “the tastiest food that can turn a hot-mess-day into an OK day.” I guess that’s what comfort food is, huh? For me, it’s Kai Yad Sai over jasmine rice. This Thai dish has all the features of an exceptionally satisfying meal, and…

In-app browsers are bunk compared to full-featured browsing apps, but they’re also a major privacy and security risk. Many apps sneak data trackers onto websites you visit through their in-app browser using a method called Javascript injection, which adds extra code to a page as it loads. These trackers can scoop up…
