Sony and Microsoft announced the next round of video games coming and leaving their respective subscription platforms in September, just in time to fill these last summer weeks with some quality gaming. As always, we’ll include everything both companies have confirmed so far, but it’s always possible more games could…

Unless you have an uncreative, uncurious mind, you know that “vegetarian” does not mean “bland.” Sure, bland vegetarian food exists, but have you ever had a baked, under-seasoned chicken breast? Meat doesn’t always equal flavor, particularly when we’re talking about broth.

With so much of our culture hyper-focused on what a person eats (and what a person weighs), it can be hard to define what “overeating” actually is—and when that overeating becomes a bigger problem. Do you simply have a big appetite, or are you actually struggling with an eating disorder? Here’s how to decipher the…

We’re on our second week of the school year over here, and my kids have already gotten sick of the meals they thought they would want every day. So let’s turn to everyone’s favorite meal planning subreddit, r/EatCheapAndHealthy, to get some ideas for what to put in those lunchboxes.

Both of my younger (identical) sisters are accomplished visual artists, whereas I—in spite of having taken Drawing for Non-Majors during my last semester at the University of Florida—struggle to draw stick figures. This lack of artistic ability extends to cake decorating, or anything that requires fine motor skills. I…

Chrome extensions are supposed to make your browser even better—but not all of them can be trusted. As hard as Google tries, the Chrome Web Store isn’t a marketplace of innocent utilities. While most are properly vetted, some slip through the cracks, just as they do on the Play Store and even Apple’s App Store. Now,…

I’m not here to judge reality dating shows. Not even a little. TV trash or TV treasure, that’s all in the eye of the beholder, and sometimes watching pretty people and their drama is, oddly enough, the perfect way to relax. If one s looking for validation in that type of entertainment, it’s entirely fair to suggest…

Google pumps out new software for its web browser like clockwork; so often, in fact, you might tend to tune out new versions when they become available. Don’t skip Chrome 105, though—it patches a bunch of nasty security vulnerabilities, and adds a few new features to boot.

As the summer wraps up, let’s check in with all our favorite streamers. The second annual Disney + Day, a marketing event disguised as a “celebration,” is set for Sept. 8. As you probably heard, everything is totally chill at HBO Max (no it isn’t). The big thing with Netflix is that it’s no longer the giant it once was

The vet isn’t particularly fun for most dogs—they expect to be poked, prodded, and are often separated from you. Some dogs are anxious and scared about going to the vet, while others get protective and reactive. My dog looks for any possible escape the moment we enter the office and would dig through the brick wall if…

Mulch is miraculous stuff. It keeps weeds at bay, fertilizes the soil, and minimizes the effects of too-hot (or too-cold) temperatures. Certain types even repel pests. But the single best argument for mulching your garden is that it conserves water, which is a huge deal for anyone dealing with hotter-than-usual…

In these financial times, anything you can do to make a bit of extra cash probably feels worth considering, whether that’s yet another side hustle or a foray into the sharing economy, which allows you to capitalize on renting out your home, spare room, swimming pool, RV, or personal vehicle.

Statins are a class of cholesterol-lowering drugs that are commonly prescribed and likely save a lot of lives. They’re also notorious for being able to cause muscle pain, which leads many people to quit their statins or be hesitant about taking one in the first place. But a new study suggests that most of the muscle…

I love a cheeseball. I love how it looks—kitschy, retro, round—and I love how it tastes—creamy, salty, a little tangy—but sometimes I do not love all the “work” that goes into making one. In fairness to the appetizer, it’s not that much work, but the “rolling into a ball” step can be a little tedious, and I am always…
