Painting doesn’t have to preclude creativity: You can do so much more than putting a solid color on your wall. From adding textures to designs, you can give your space more character with less trouble than you might think.

In many ways, it’s great that we can do just about anything we need to on our smartphones. However, that convenience creates a single point of failure that could lead to big losses if something were to go wrong. Case in point: Reddit user Whippity, whose iPhone and credit card were recently stolen. The thieves used…

Over half a million Honda vehicles have been recalled after multiple reports of a rear part detaching due to corrosion, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. The recall mentions that salt-belt states, which use de-icing salt to reduce snow from the roads during winter, are having problems…

It’s not your imagination—spring allergy season really is getting worse every year. (Thanks, climate change.) Pollen seasons now start 20 days earlier and last 10 days longer than they did in 1990, according to recent research, and pollen counts are up 21%. If you’ve been thinking of each spring’s season as something…

If you’ve tried talking to ChatGPT, you may have noticed that its free website is often slow, needs frequent reloading, and relies on Cloudflare to confirm you’re indeed a human. But contrary to what OpenAI advertises, you don’t need to pay $20 per month for the paid version (ChatGPT Plus) to solve these issues.…

When a child fails to meet their developmental milestones when it comes to big muscle groups, it can be cause for concern and an indication that your child may have a gross motor delay.

Remember back in 2021, when people were willing to do anything to find a COVID test? In response, the government started sending out free tests, and then mandated that insurance had to reimburse you for eight tests a month. If you had private insurance, you could drop into Walgreens, ask for a script for COVID tests…

Sonic is currently giving away free cheeseburgers with any purchase. Which doesn’t sound like that exciting of a deal—but when they say “any purchase,” they really mean it. So if you don’t want to splurge on fries or a soda, you can buy a “mini cup of ice” for around $0.09 and still get your free cheeseburger. Toss…

Out of all the different ways one can cook an egg, poaching gives people the most trouble. Poaching an egg isn’t impossible, but there is a steep learning curve, despite a lot of little tricks designed to make the task easier (a clear indication it’s not that easy in the first place). Poached eggs need to be coddled,…

Job hunting has never been easy, but in recent years, the process has become a dystopian nightmare. Gearing up to look for a new position requires the sort of planning once relegated to military campaigns, and the sheer number of video interviews, live projects, and other work required of you before you get an offer…

You probably think of your bank as a place to stash your money, and it’s easy to forget that the bank is only happy to take it because they can use it to make more money. Mostly they do this by using your deposits to make profitable investments, paying you a tiny interest rate for the privilege. But that’s not the…

Window management has come a long way (especially in Windows 11), but I still don’t like having two browser windows open side-by-side, essentially duplicating the entire browser experience. It’s easy to forget which window you’re in, where you’ve opened a particular tab—it’s just a headache. I’m not the only one…
