Five cases of locally-acquired malaria have been reported in the U.S., the CDC says—one in Texas and four in Florida. Malaria is a serious, mosquito-borne illness that was eradicated in the U.S. in the 1950s. It’s concerning to see signs that it may be making a comeback.

One of my favorite niche insults is, “He’s the kind of guy who always orders his steak rare, no matter the cut.” (This type of guy also considers vermouth a sign of weakness, but that’s a different discussion.) There’s nothing wrong with having a preference, and a rare steak can be a beautiful thing. But some pieces…

Hard-boiled eggs are a perfect food. They’re great for bulk cooking and meal prepping. They keep for days in the fridge, they’re satisfying, hand-held, filling, and you can adjust the cooking time for a yolk that’s gelatinous and runny, firm and velvety, or somewhere in between. However, there is the small issue of…

This past week, Paramount+ caught flak for making like Max and Disney+ and removing content so its parent company could take a tax write off. This included nixing Paramount+ Originals like Grease: The Rise of the Pink Ladies (which only finished releasing new episodes on June 1) and, most controversially, rescinding…

There are cheaper options than a brand-new computer. If you need to run demanding apps, stick with an appropriate high-spec machine, but if you just need a laptop to browse, respond to emails, or get a little work done, this 2015 MacBook Pro is on sale for $262.99 (reg. $399).

Porn is fun, and a great way for us to explore sexual pleasure by ourselves or with a partner, but mainstream pornography is also problematic. It’s often catered to the male gaze, offering depictions of women in degraded or dehumanizing ways, and is usually exploitative of both the performers and production team, with…

AdGuard is an advanced ad blocker that comes in a personal and family plan. Normally, they’d respectively cost $39 and $59 for lifetime access, but you can get early access to a lower price during Lifehacker’s Deal Days sale. Through July 14, you can get an AdGuard Personal Lifetime Plan for $16.97, or an AdGuard…

The American death industry is a racket. Everything is overpriced. The average coffin will cost between $2,000–$5,000, and according to some sources, the cost of a cremation averages between $4,000 and $7,000 per body—and that’s not including the memorial service. But you don’t have to settle for an overpriced burial…

Some restaurant dishes are hard to replicate, but a great truffle pasta isn’t one of them. Instead of shelling out upwards of $50 for a single serving of fettuccine tartufo, why not whip up a family dinner that’s bursting with the fabulous fungi for a whole lot less? Here are a few options to making a high-end truffle…

When I was a kid, my science fiction-loving dad decided we were going to watch 2001: A Space Odyssey. I did not understand this long, complex, boring movie. I certainly did not appreciate it like he did. As a result, I thereafter refused to experience some of his favorite other movies, TV shows, and music. Only in…

Having a big shade tree in your yard can provide a cooler hangout spot in the summer and cut back on the AC bill. But choosing and planting the right tree so it will grow to full height and provide the shade you want can be tricky. Some trees that are hardier and better suited for this than others, and there are some…

If you’re bringing cold drinks to the beach or barbecue this summer, don’t pack the cooler with boring Cokes and 7-Ups. Mark yourself as a person of distinction by shoving some old-timey sodas in the ice instead. These obscure, regional, and forgotten soft drinks were good enough to refresh your grandpa, and they’re…

Okay, history nerds. You might have aced your social studies tests in school and have enough facts at your fingertips to teach a class in U.S. history, ancient civilizations, or the history of the modern world. But how deep does your knowledge go?

If you paid attention to my pleas for peas last year, you might be reading this after a morning snack of fresh-off-the-vine peas, with a pile of discarded pea shells nearby. Those extraneous pods make for fantastic compost, as they’re full of nitrogen, but if you’ll indulge me, I’d like to suggest you take them in a…

If you’re one of the more than 7 million people in this country who are “unbanked,” you know how hard it can be to live a modern life without a bank account. While the rise of financial apps like Paypal or Venmo has expanded our financial options, it’s exceedingly difficult (and expensive) to navigate life without at…

If all you’ve ever known of peas is mushy peas or canned peas, you’ve never really tasted peas. The cool, crisp orbs you pop out of pods fresh off the vine are a completely different vegetable (not taxonomically speaking, but they might as well be).

The roof is one of the most important aspects of your home. If your roof fails you, it kicks off a domino effect of water, structural, and possession damage that makes your comfortable space uncomfortable, unattractive, and potentially dangerous if mold takes root. When it’s doing its job and keeping us dry, we tend…

Money can be awkward to talk about, but that awkwardness comes at a hefty price. Financial boundaries are guardrails that you put in place to protect your money. And it’s not just about protecting your cash—it’s about ensuring you have a comfortable, healthy relationship with money.

In videos released this weekend, Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.—a man who has compared childhood vaccines to the holocaust and is also running for president for some reason—lifts weights on a sunny beach. He appears to be lifting 115 pounds. He has fans who believe this is impressive, and that he can do so says something…
