Out on the surface of the sun, a huge geomagnetic storm raged this weekend, causing Coronal Mass Ejections (that is, solar flares) to hit earth. There’s nothing to worry about (yet) according to scientists—solar flares hit earth all the time—but the strength of this rare event will provide many in relatively southern…

Setting up your home internet connection is a lot easier than it used to be, but that doesn’t mean it’s self-explanatory. Terms like “modem” and “router” are often thrown around, sometimes interchangeably, even though they’re very different devices. Before you go out and buy what you need to connect your devices to…

The whole point of vinyl siding is that you don’t have to paint it and it’ll last for decades, but there are actually a lot of good reasons to consider painting your vinyl siding. For one, it allows you to freshen and transform the exterior of your home—if your siding is faded and weathered, a coat of paint will do…

For years, the internet has insisted that you can use baby oil to polish chrome and faucet fixtures. As someone with disgusting faucets that never seem to be improved by scrubbing, I finally gave in to the pressure. The claims say it will cut through gunk and film, leaving a shiny faucet (or toilet handle or whatever…

We’re going to create a deep umami condiment out of mushrooms, and then use that condiment on freaking everything this Thanksgiving. Doesn’t sound very convincing? Think about Worcestershire sauce: It goes with absolutely everything. Meat, vegetables—heck, it’s a major component of Caesar salad dressing. The reason is…

The first time I was invited to a vegetarian Thanksgiving, I remember feeling slighted. I was going to miss out on the very point of the day—the bird. Instead, I was impressed by the breadth of flavors that came to the table when we didn’t rely on turkey and gravy. For the last 10 years, when I’ve hosted dinners,…

Prioritizing a to-do list can be overwhelming—but, with the right system in place, it can become much less stressful. If you’re tired of your to-do list feeling such a heavy lift, try so simplify things and prioritize your tasks with the “Must, should, want” technique.

Even though we’re still a couple of weeks away from Thanksgiving, Black Friday sales are already in full swing, with many major retailers like Target, Best Buy, Amazon, and Walmart having big discounts that you should be taking advantage of if you haven’t already.

Tyson Foods is recalling 30,000 pounds of its kid-favorite dinosaur nuggets due to reports of small metal pieces found in the meat, one of which led to a “minor oral injury.” Here’s how to find out if your bag of chicken nuggets was affected.

As I’ve gotten older, I’ve come to view Thanksgiving less as a holiday and more as an excuse to gather for a big meal. I’m being honest, for me (and maybe for you), it is mostly a day to celebrate being foodcore, which means we need not be so beholden to tradition. My family has a vault of traditional recipes that we…

There’s so much to consume online, from the millions of pieces of content shared, sent, and watched on social media platforms every minute to the endless stream of news, data, and commentary being published. We are constantly faced with choices of what to watch and read, which leads to information overload, decision…

The choreographer for the Bolshoi Ballet would still scratch their head at how to time the cooking for Thanksgiving day. Your oven and stove top are the main stage, with every single performer, from the principle dancers (your turkey) to the corps (your side dishes) all raring to dance into frame. So let’s shake it up…

Spotify Premium is the paid version of one of the world’s most popular music streaming services. Although Spotify offers a free plan, there are some big limitations.

If you’re a lover of wildlife, inviting a more varied population of birds into your yard is always a goal. Owls, with their natural pest-control abilities, are an often-overlooked friend to the garden, plus they’re cool and fun to watch. Setting up a safe nesting area for owls can help attract owls to your outdoor…

The Apple Watch Ultra was a game changer when it released last year: finally, a larger and more rugged wearable for those obsessed with the outdoors. This year, Apple launched an upgraded Ultra that offers some additional features while still retaining the same look and feel as the original. So: How do the Apple Watch…

The Thanksgiving table doesn’t leave a ton of room for real innovation if you’re sticking to the classics. What I feel the spread often lacks is hits of brightness and slaps of deep flavor amongst the richness and heft of meat, potatoes, and gravy. That’s a role that is supposed to be filled by relishes like cranberry…
