Getting lost is no fun, but getting lost without cell service is downright scary. It’s even worse if you lose your way somewhere remote, like on a hike through the woods. When Google Maps can’t save you, though, you’re not totally out of luck. As it turns out, your Apple Watch might know exactly how to get you home,…

The new year has kicked off with a slew of negative crypto news. Now more than ever, for every one trustworthy source on crypto, there seems to be hundreds of YouTubers spewing less-than credible “advice.” Videos that appear to be unbiased explainers will end with a segment selling you hard on specific investments. As…

Once again, I am here to advocate for something small that I believe in in a big way, and it is this: If you’re cold and you don’t have a space heater, it’s time to consider all the things your hair dryer can do for you.

If you struggle to swallow pills—big or small—you’re not alone. Most of us learned how to swallow pills the same way, by tossing our head back with a hefty gulp of water. Despite how popular this technique is, it might not be the most effective way to get that pill down your gullet.

Certain types of renovations call for warm weather and clear skies, but you don’t have to hit pause on your home improvement plans just because the days are shorter and colder.

My daughter was excited about the new girl in the mostly male Tae Kwon Do class. After class, I whispered, “Do you want to go talk to her?” My daughter nodded and went over, I thought to say hi. Instead my daughter, who has been going to Tae Kwon Do for exactly one month, gave the girl some pointers and then walked…

It’s a brand new year, and that means a ton of art and entertainment has gone from privately owned to the property of everyone and no one. In the United States, books, films, songs, and other works published in 1927 are free to be shared, remade, re-mixed, and otherwise used without fear of legal repercussion, as are…

Last week, the FDA announced a change to how the abortion medication mifepristone may be prescribed—one that’s been a long time coming. Before the rule change, you couldn’t get the pills from your neighborhood pharmacy, as you would with any other drug. You still can’t, but that can now change—but the ball is now in…

Winters can be dreadful. Waking up an hourly early to shovel snow and scrape windshields before your commute to work, only to be welcomed by a pitch dark sky by 5 p.m. can take a toll on anyone.

It’s basically motorized pump in a bucket, buried below the floor of your basement or crawlspace; as the groundwater seeps up, it collects in the bucket, the pump activates, shoots it back outside, and your basement stays…

A wire rack is a pretty essential baking tool. Beyond cooling cookies, it’s indispensable when decorating. It allows the chocolate on a truffle to drip down and away, creating an evenly coated candy; and it holds your cakes and pastries off the counter while you dust them with powdered sugar or drizzle them with…

ChatGPT took the internet by storm late last year, proving that AI was a lot further along than many of us realized. You can use ChatGPT to write an essay, plan your recipes for the week, tell you a story, code you an app, really anything you can think of. But you should be using it from OpenAI’s official ChatGPT…
