If you’ve ever purchased—or tried to purchased—Starbucks’ oft-sold-out sous vide egg bites, you understand their appeal. They have a velvety, almost creamy interior, with—at least in the case of the bacon & gruyère variety— a distinct cheese flavor infused right in. They’re decadent, and if you started any sort of…Read more...

I was instructed to come up with one parenting hack that I would like to summarily dismiss in honor of Rejection Week here at Lifehacker. The first one that came to mind feels like such obviously useless advice that I almost skipped over it:Read more...

Every weekend, my wife and I hope to get a lot done. We throw all our goals, from “wash hair” to “file taxes,” onto an informal little to-do list on the Reminders app or a scrap of paper. Managing the weekend’s to-do list becomes an errand itself. Push ourselves too hard and we’ll burn out; take it too easy and we’ll…Read more...

Late one night last year, I was sitting in my apartment doing some work when my phone rang. It was my close friend, Alex*. Alex was dating another one of my good friends, Sonia, and she had brought him up to Michigan to meet her family.

Residents of nine states have some leeway when it comes to the April 15 U.S. income tax filing deadline.

If you eat meat, you’ll love my Oma’s goulash recipe. A bold claim, I know, but I have evidence to back it up.

Recycling can be a little complicated as it is—it’s never as easy as throwing plastic in a plastics recycling bin. Most curbside recycling programs don’t accept plastic bags, for example.

I’ve gotten very good at saying no to second dates, largely because I go on so many first dates.

Dining and drinking out can be an expensive experience and you, as a customer, are entitled to an enjoyable one. But being entitled to something doesn’t mean you get to be a jerk about it.
