It’s delicious, but making a Swiss roll isn’t easy and, if you’ve ever watched a holiday baking challenge, you’ve probably seen the one vanquish some pretty talented bakers. Instead of fighting with cake, you can use the humble HoHo into an…

No one likes cleaning a toilet. First, there’s the dust that clings to the porcelain with surprising tenacity, especially if the porcelain happens to be damp. (I think it should be illegal for bathrooms to get dusty. It’s just not right.) But the bigger problem is the toilet brush. It’s not the scrubbing part—that’s…

Today and tomorrow, McDonald’s is offering a deal that could quench your thirst—if that thirst happens to be of the double cheeseburger variety. From Dec. 22 through Dec. 23, you can buy as many double cheeseburgers as your heart desires for 50 cents each. (A double cheeseburger usually costs about $3.79, depending on…

From iOS 16 to the iPhone 14, the iPhone had a big year. We started 2022 with iOS 15.2, which gave us features like Apple Music Voice and legacy contacts, and end the year appropriately with iOS 16.2, with Apple Music Sing and end-to-end encryption for iCloud backups. In between, we discovered a lot of hacks that make…

For many workers, 2022 kicked off with various degrees of return-to-office mandates. It was the year of “quiet quitting” and it’s more insidious counterpart, quiet firing. The continuing pandemic has, on a grand scale, made many reexamine how we tie our careers to our identities. On a smaller scale, it’s made us…

Cranberries are often the only source of precious, richness-cutting acid on the Thanksgiving and Christmas dinner tables, which is why I’ve always insisted that they belong on the equally rich dessert table, too. This year, I finally gave in to a recurring pie-based intrusive thought: What if I made lemon meringue…

Nepotism is the most natural thing in the world. Most of us would use our connections to help our family get jobs if we could, whether it’s calling your boss to ask about that third shift for your son or hooking them up with a spot on the board of directors of a multinational energy firm. It’s particularly noticeable…

A huge winter storm is making its way across the country this week, bringing with it heavy snow, high winds, and single-digit temperatures as far south as Louisiana.

Eggnog is as Christmas as chunky, colorful lights–it’s not for everyone, but some households are all about it. Whether you have a yearly event concocting your family’s secret recipe, or buy liters of the store bought variety, try adding it to your pancake mix and make the most Christmassy breakfast of your life.

You’re likely familiar with the usual way to look for a job: Type the job title you want into a career site like LinkedIn or Indeed, add few details, and then spend hours scrolling down a list of thousands of potential jobs. When you finally get to the bottom, more load in. It can often feel like a numbers game, just…

It has not been a good year for those shows you like. If you mostly watch crime procedurals like CSI, NCIS, and Blue Bloods, or Yellowstone-adjacent shows, then you’re probably fine; otherwise, there’s a good chance you’ve felt the loss of a favorite show.

If you’re going home for the holidays with your partner, you might think that your sex life has to be put on pause. After all, you’ll probably be crammed in a guest room—or your childhood bedroom—right next to your parents’ room and, well, sex can be loud for all sorts of reasons. But what if your sex life doesn’t…

2022 was a big year for Android. We saw Google release both the Pixel 7 and Android 13, injecting new features and hardware into the Android market. Now, after another full year of using Android OS, keeping up with Google news, and reading about other users’ experiences on forums, we found quite a few Android hacks to…
