Every day is a new thing with Twitter. Recently, the site lumped verified users and Twitter Blue users together so no one can tell them apart (at least not without an extension). And now Twitter replaced its iconic bird logo with, of all things, Doge. It’s stupid, and just another example of how far the site has fallen…

Sorry Android users, this deal is for the people who like to overpay for their phones. McDonald’s is currently offering a free six piece order of Chicken McNuggets when you spend at least a dollar while using Apple Pay to check out on the McDonald’s app.

The first time I ordered a Blizzard and the employee asked me to flip it upside down, I reacted with a combination of fear, anger, and even disgust. That this person would tell me to risk my ice cream treat for a marketing gimmick! This month, Dairy Queen will celebrate their 39th year of making kids (and probably…

AirDrop has been a source of pride for Apple users for more than a decade now, and a sore point for many who want a simple solution for sharing files between Windows and Android. But after years of struggling with different standards and technologies, Google and Microsoft have finally figured this one out: Google’s…

It pays to start investing early. Even if your kid isn’t yet old enough to count, let alone make savvy financial decisions, you can give them a head start by investing for them now. Many online brokers offer custodial accounts designed to allow a parent to make investments in their child’s name. When your kid reaches…

Tree sap can get on your clothes, car, shoes, deck furniture, and countless other places you might not expect it. Here’s how to clean it off.

If you’ve spent any time on social media this week, you’ve probably see tons of memes in which people have photoshopped themselves (or anyone else, from Succession characters to Lydia Tár to Donald Trump) into a poster for Greta Gerwig’s upcoming Barbie movie. The thing is, you don’t actually need to know how to use …

I’ve been wearing an Oura ring for 2-1/2 years now. I’m also a pretty serious recreational athlete, training not just for fun and health but toward a goal of getting better and winning competitions in my chosen sport. I find the data my ring gives me useful, but I also use it in basically the opposite way it wants me…

When you shop for a swimsuit for your kid, don’t buy them a blue one. The simple reason: The color can make it difficult, even impossible, to see them underwater.

Wireless earbuds, like AirPods, are all the rage. But as convenient as these tiny headphones are, they have a fatal flaw: When the batteries degrade, it is extremely difficult to replace them, and stores like Apple won’t do it for you, either. When the charge inevitably doesn’t last long enough anymore, most of us…

From the most thorough travel plans, to excruciatingly detailed journals, to elaborate to-do lists: My life motto is that you have a goal, your goal needs a spreadsheet. And when your goal is to manage your money better, a customized spreadsheet can be your number one budgeting tool.

When your phone’s screen breaks or your laptop stops holding a charge, your first instinct might be to take it to the company that produced it—they made the thing, so they should be trusted to fix it. While that isn’t necessarily wrong, it’s not always the best course of action. Your repair experience (and what you’ll…

Matzo crunch is a sweet treat that’s all about the texture. As the name implies, it’s a crunch-fest. Between the crisp, airy matzo, melty chocolate and crackling caramel, there’s never a dull moment (in your mouth). The beauty of this Passover-friendly dessert lies in its simplicity and decadent flavor. There’s no…

Back in my college days, my roommate and I frequently ordered something we called a “hangover pizza.” There was nothing remarkable about the pizza. It was almost always a pepperoni pizza from Papa John’s, because we loved the garlic sauce, but also because the local greasy pizza place (Five Star), was rough on an…

Packaged, processed, and semi-prepared foods are convenient and economical, but sadly, cooking with peel-apart biscuits and microwaveable pastas has endured a host of disparaging titles, including “cheap,” “low-class,” or “gross,” depending on who you’re talking to. My advice? Don’t talk to those people anymore.…
