Holiday shopping gets overwhelming fast, and keeping tabs on your many incoming purchases doesn’t help. You end up digging through your inbox constantly looking for shipping confirmations to check on ETAs and deliveries, and the more you buy, the worse it gets.

But what if you’re an upstanding citizen who wants to serve on a jury? Maybe you’re craving a scene out of 12 Angry Men, or you want to put some dirtbag…

Designing a pie’s crust is either something you can’t be bothered with (crumble on everything!) or a chance for you to show-off your pastry skills for once, dammit. These tips are for the home baker who wishes the grocery store sold pie toppers separately in the freezer aisle. They range from simple to classic, and…

In the wake of surge of accolades and overwhelmingly positive reviews, God of War Ragnarök is officially here. If you were a fan of 2018's God of War, you’re likely ready to sit back, controller in hand, and continue the story of Kratos and Atreus.

A new study shows that it’s possible to gain muscle from just putting weights down, without having to lift them in the first place. While this may seem like a surprising revelation, it’s just restating something we’ve known for a long time: the negative (lowering-down) part of an exercise works your muscles, too.

Retirement planning can be complex, so boiling it down to a couple of simple rules of thumb is comforting. One retirement “rule” that gets tossed around a lot is the “80% rule” (the precise percentage varies a bit depending on who you’re talking to): It suggests you will need 80% of your pre-retirement income in order…

With inflation making the cost of just about everything go up—combined with the labor market favoring job seekers—it makes sense that now is the time to ask for a raise.

A recently published Harris Poll conducted on behalf of the American Psychological Association paints a bleak picture of a disaffected America. We’re disillusioned by government, see our nation as beset by violence and crime, and feel increasingly financially insecure. In other words, everyone is stressed out; so…

For some reason, negotiation tends to be considered a specialized professional skill instead of a basic life one. Business school students and salespeople learn tons about how to work out deals, but most of the rest of us never learn much about how to negotiate. That’s one reason why buying a major asset like a house…

Thanksgiving is a big deal to me. Every year, towards the end of October—for almost six years now—my thoughts turn to turkey and all its accompanying sides. You’d think I’d be tired of it, but I’m not.

Just two days before Elon Musk took over Twitter, his company Tesla voluntarily made its 17th recall of the year, reaching 3.4 million vehicles recalled according to a report from Yahoo News, beating their previous record of 11 recalls from 2021.

It’s tough to justify paying for mobile games when there are so many free options out there. Of course, so many of those free options are ad-ridden nightmares.
