My lease renewal arrived it the mail a few weeks ago, bringing with it a small but significant rent increase. I’m hardly alone: Nationwide, average rents rose by a heart-clutching 14% last year, and financial forecasts have for months been warning of additional increases in the first half of 2023. It sucks to learn …

Woot is having another of their massive sales, but one specific deals is sticking out among the rest: The JBL Live Free NC+ True Wireless earbuds are currently 67% off their $150 listing price. For $50, you can get this pair of noise canceling Bluetooth earbuds from now until April 1 (or while supplies last). But…

It’s somewhat common knowledge that I boost my baked goods with almond extract instead of, or in tandem with, vanilla. But now I’ve added a third extract to the extravaganza: cinnamon. Beyond being an exciting addition to your flavor toolkit, you can make cinnamon extract at home on the cheap, and in two simple steps.

I’ve been fooled by the headline “Easiest (meal name) Ever.” It’s wasn’t pretty. The ingredients were purchased. The prep work was done. Sadly, the joke was on me–the recipe was, in fact, not easy at all. It’s an attractive word and hard to resist, and although the recipe may have been rote for the creator, “easy”…

The Last of Us, and its subsequent remasters, are excellent games. Naughty Dog created a story and world so compelling, not only are we still talking about it a decade later, but a new audience is doing the same in the wake of the first season of the critically acclaimed HBO adaptation. While the game’s recent arrival…

Selling furniture is a great way to clear out your space and make some extra cash (which, realistically, you’ll put toward new furniture), but it’s not really an intuitive process. While there are plenty of apps out there dedicated to managing the sale of whatever you want to sell, it’s hard to know which ones to…

Low intensity cardio—sometimes called LISS or “zone 2”—is an underrated form of exercise. It’s finally coming back into fashion after spending years on the sidelines while HIIT and lifting-only routines ran the field. But what is zone 2 cardio, exactly? Why should you do it? And how do you know if you’re doing it…

This summer has the potential to be a nightmare for those looking to travel, domestically or abroad. A combination of pandemic-related problems that permanently changed airlines are coming back to haunt travelers who once enjoyed discounted prices in past summers, along with inflation and higher demand, are all…

YouTube videos of unruly airplane passengers are amusing, but a real-life encounter with an unhinged flyer at 35,000 feet can be terrifying. Luckily, it’s rare: While life-or-death conflicts occasionally happen on airplanes, according to the FAA, out of more than 13 million flights in 2022, only 831 such incidents …

People like to say that weed makes you stupider, and I’m sure it doesn’t help if you’re studying differential equations or polymer chemistry (both of which I opted out of in college), but I’ve never found it hindered me in my line of work. If I’m so stupid, how did I invent a new kind of cheese fry?

A steamer is a great alternative to an iron for a number of reasons: You’re not going to scorch your clothes with it, it’s easier to maneuver, and you don’t need a big, flat space to use it. It’s a quick way to de-wrinkle clothes without taking up valuable storage space in your home. But beyond not necessitating the…

There are a couple of bag opening styles you can use when you don’t have a bowl–the fold-under bowl, or the puncture-and-twist method– but not all snacks are chips, and some come in smaller packaging that might not fare as well with those other techniques. When it comes to sharing a bag of snacks with friends in a…
