Starting next month, if you board a Delta flight, you may no longer have to choose between exorbitant wifi fees or sheer boredom: The company has announced that passengers will be able to get free wifi on hundreds of U.S. domestic Delta aircraft starting in February.

As the perils of the winter Jon Snow warned us about begin to fade in late January, deals on winter clothing start to emerge from the retail mists like hordes of ice zombies. Or, for those not well-versed in the lore of Game of Thrones: The best time to buy winter apparel is in January and February, notes Investopedia,

Fresh cookies are a bite of childhood nostalgia that everyone is entitled to indulge in, especially when adult problems crop up. Maybe you’re “in between ovens” right now, or your landlord has been replacing the gas line to the building for a year, or maybe you just don’t have a conventional oven. Sometimes that big…

We all want our written work to look nice. Whether you’re preparing a book for possible publication, or just writing up a document for coworkers or friends to read, you’ve probably wrestled with formatting. Weird spacing, mismatched fonts, and other errors can leave us frustrated with Word or Google Docs—but sometimes…

The bread component of any sandwich is important but, where grilled cheese is concerned, you have to prioritize the namesake ingredient. Most recipes claim to have the best, most perfect combination of fats and dairy for the ultimate grilled cheese, but what if you’re more of a stretchy-cheese girl? Or, maybe a fully…

Applications are open to be a “Hotdogger,” or a Wienermobile spokesperson for Oscar Mayer. If you are one of the 12 people selected for the job, you’ll get to drive the Wienermobile across the country doing media interviews and other public relations and marketing tasks for the hot dog and cold cuts company. The job…

There are few things Hollywood loves more than a movie about the craft of movie-making, which is hardly surprising: Film is rarely a part-time job, and doubtless for many, it feels like the entire world. From the industry’s early days, Hollywood has been something akin to an old-style company town, one in which people…

Whether it’s the triumphant(?) return of meme-condiment Pink Sauce, potentially deadly frozen treats, or a battle between the internet and Waffle House, this week’s kids’ report is about food. There’s food for thought as we consider why everyone seems to hate Velma so much, and a look into the glorious future when the…

In an era when the odds are good that you personally know multiple people who host their own podcast, it can be hard to remember those hazy days when it seemed like there weren’t actually that many podcasts to listen to at all. So we all flocked to This American Life, Radiolab, and, eventually, Serial, which sparked…

If you are a clean-as-you-go type of cook, or you simply cannot handle mess in the kitchen, you may be in the habit of wiping up spills on your stove as soon as they happen. While that may seem like the best move to prevent food from drying (and therefore harder to get off later), it’s actually not great for you or…

I’m good at cooking meals, but bad at eating them. My preferred method of food consumption is snacking, also known as “luxurious grazing.” I like to lay out an array of little treats, with varying flavors and textures to create a wide variety of what my friend Catie calls “mouth experiences.” This little fruit snack…

I love chicken. I’ve even found a way to enjoy a chicken breast (beat it into submission). When prepared and cooked correctly, chicken can be just as juicy and flavorful as any other bird. A good marinade always helps, and I think I’ve found my new favorite. Bathe your bird in a slurry of feta cheese and capers. It…

During the pandemic, the rise of remote work visas—also called digital nomad visas—allowed anyone with a flexible remote job to not just work from home, but work from anywhere. A digital nomad is someone who travels outside their and their employer’s home country, while reporting into work remotely. These individuals…

Have you ever tried your best to clean something and ended up feeling like you only made it worse? Same. Whenever you’re feeling out of your depth, it’s almost always worth calling a professional. They’re efficient and incredibly effective—and if you’re just hiring them for a one-off task, you might be surprised at…

“Everyone makes mistakes,” your mom told you. “That’s why pencils have erasers.” But did she ever tell you how many different kinds of erasers there are? If you think there’s just the one—the pink guys found at the end of a pencil or in a wedge shape—you are, well, mistaken.

There are a surprising number of different…

The camera is one of the iPhone’s best features. It takes great photos, and shoots some of the best video on any smartphone. That’s why, when my iPhone’s camera broke, I was pretty bummed, yet hopefully the Apple Store could fix me right up. Unfortunately, breaking your iPhone camera isn’t like breaking the screen,…
