In the wide world of cleaning products, so many of them are multipurpose—but even the most versatile of products are not good for cleaning granite. You can’t use Bar Keepers Friend or the poorly-named “all-purpose” cleaner on it, for instance. So what can you use that won’t damage the stone you spent a small fortune…

Part of aging is watching the younger generation “discover” things you’ve known about for years. It’s most common with music, movies, and fashion—I will never forget how excited I was to tell my parents about this obscure group I had discovered called “The Band”—but now it’s happening to me with food hacks.

When we think of President’s Day deals, TVs, mattresses, and furniture probably come to mind first—but if you’re in the market for some new pots and pans, this is also the weekend for you to start shopping around. Here are some of the best deals on pots and pans if you have been waiting for the right moment to strike.

I’ve done fasted morning cardio, and I understand why it’s a thing. It feels like such a virtuous act: You’re making yourself suffer, and it’s hard, but it’s also not impossible. You finish your morning jog with an empty stomach, then reward yourself with, hopefully, a nice breakfast. But is there a point to the…

I had mixed feelings after perusing different pictures and recipes for cloud bread, a food that has become quite popular on TikTok. One of them was confusion. I came across two very different looking versions—one that looked like colorful cotton candy and another that resembled brown cobblestone-looking pancakes. …

You have your basic checking and savings accounts—beyond that, how can different types of accounts serve your savings goals? What’s the smartest way to stash your hard-earned funds? We’ve recommended before that dividing your money into multiple accounts helps you see all your saving goals separately, so they’ll be…

It’s official: Internet Explorer is dead. Microsoft confirmed as much on Tuesday with an update to the Internet Explorer desktop app support page: “The retired, out-of-support Internet Explorer 11 desktop application has been permanently disabled through a Microsoft Edge update on certain versions of Windows 10.” Ouch.

Aging parents are hard. Whether it’s the nonstop requests for IT support, the invasive questions about your love life, or the unasked-for speculations about your health, the relationship between an adult child and their parent can fraught. This is especially true if you have a relationship that is reversed, with the…

We all likely still remember the (bad) news from this past December: A Consumer Reports investigation found 23 of the 28 dark chocolates from different brands they tested contained harmful levels of lead and cadmium. The results of the investigation made the rounds over mainstream media and is still very much in the…

Admit it: you don’t pay that much attention to the labels on the food you’re buying. If the package says “natural” and it’s mostly brown, that probably means it’s healthier than the colorful item next to it, right? Into the cart it goes.

I’m sure the estate of Winnie the Pooh creator A.A. Milne is not happy about it, but this weekend, Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey will open at that proverbial theater near you. A product of some aspects of the Pooh-verse becoming public domain, the horror movie reimagines the snuggable, honey-lovin’ kid-lit icon as…

Yesterday morning, the failing Wall Street Journal shitposted their way into the discourse by suggesting people hit hard by inflation might save money by skipping breakfast. I couldn’t read the whole thing because it is, hilariously for such obvious clickbait, paywalled. But I don’t feel like I need to, because while…

You hear your child cough on the way downstairs for breakfast, and the mental calculations start: Was that a one-off cough or a legit symptom? Should I take her temperature? Should she go to school or stay home, just in case? Meanwhile your kid doesn’t seem at all like she’s in a medical emergency; she just wants her…

“I was going to make a smart-ass joke about putting the cheese on the graham crackers,” the young cashier said as she handed me my bag of cheese and graham crackers. “Oh. That’s exactly what I’m doing,” I replied. “Well, I hope you like it.” I do like it, young cashier. I like it so much I have half a mind to drive…

French fries, tater tots, and even the humble baked potato all like to get dressed up with a special dip to match the occasion. Ketchup, mayo, or sour cream are common condiments, but they can get a little humdrum. Instead of playing it safe, get a little daring to your spud. Transform bacon into a smoky, spiced dip…

The World Health Organization recently met to discuss an outbreak of Marburg virus in Equatorial Guinea, in Africa. The virus is related to Ebola and has no known cure. So far the outbreak is small, and scientists are rushing to deploy experimental vaccines and medicines. Here’s what you should know about it.

We’ve already done the math and determined a $60 Costco Gold Star membership is worth the cash—but it’s an even better deal when you get money back for joining. For a limited time, when you sign up for Costco’s basic membership, you’ll receive a $30 “Digital Costco Shop Card,” which is a fancier way of saying $30 to…

There are a lot of laws that govern the rights you have when you’re renting your home, but landlords are also pretty well-protected. You might think that anything that goes on in your apartment is their business (for better or worse), but there are actually quite a few things that simply are not their responsibility.…
