Use Wikipedia as Your Personal Tour Guide With WikiCompass
One of my favorite parts of traveling is having the opportunity to learn about new areas.

This week I came across…Read more...

Use Alexa to Determine What Wine to Serve With Your Dinner
If you don’t have any wine knowledge, figuring out what wine to serve with dinner can sometimes be a bit of a challenge. While most of us have a decent idea of what to serve with a steak, when it comes to other dishes like pizza or apple pie our current knowledge might fall a little short.
Figure Out What Fruits and Vegetables Are In Season With This App

How to Make Spam Calls Automatically Go to Voicemail on Android
Despite being on the Do Not Call list, I’ve somehow managed to make it onto some sort of robocall list where a woman named “Ann” is trying to sell me health insurance.

Adults: Buy Yourself a Kiddie Pool
Mashable, a tech site, says you should buy a kiddie pool. Not for your kids, for yourself. As they point out, if you have a roof or backyard, fifteen bucks, and a garden hose or a big bucket, then baby, you’ve got a pool going. (They claim you can also put a kiddie pool on your fire escape. I cannot endorse that…Read more...

Preorder and Save On These Quick-Drying Bath Towels That Absorb Water Like Sponges
If you ever wash your own car, you’ve probably bought a waffle weave towel to dry it. This three dimensional texture increases the surface area of the fabric, meaning it can absorb more water while allowing it to evaporate and dry more quickly.
Trick Out Your Touch Bar With These Creative Apps and Games
I don’t know about you, but I’m still on the fence about Apple’s Touch Bar. The most use I get out of it is accidentally tapping the virtual “back” button in my browser when trying to press a number key. That, and I mainly use the Touch Bar to adjust my MacBook’s brightness and volume. (Perhaps I need to configure…Read more...
The Perfect Temperature Is 74 Degrees

Watch Out for These Fake FDA Scam Letters
If you’ve bought drugs from illegal online pharmacies, you may have plenty of reasons to worry—but a warning letter from the FDA shouldn’t be one of them. The FDA sends nasty letters to illegal pharmacies, not typically to customers. Which means if you receive a letter from the “FDA,” someone’s trying to scam you.

Belkin’s 12-outlet surge protector is one of our readers’ favorites (and the one I use behind my TV), and Prime members can get it for $14 today, or 20% off.

As if there weren’t enough sexually transmitted diseases to worry about, Mycoplasma genitalium is now being more closely scrutinized by public officials.

How to Restore to iOS 11 If You're Over the iOS 12 Beta
You probably shouldn’t run an iOS public beta on your primary device. But maybe you took the plunge anyway—anything to get in on that sweet Memoji action—and now you regret it. Maybe an app you use every day isn’t compatible with iOS 12 yet, and you want to go back.
Make This Snack Mix From Leftover Snacks
If you are a lover of the crunchy and the salty, you have probably, at one point or another, found yourself with various, mostly consumed bags and boxes of chips, crackers, and other snack products.

Why You Need an Anonymous Social Media Account
Being online has never been more embarrassing. People are renting 10 minutes of time on private jets for the ‘gram. The most innocuous and best-meaning of posts can spark outrage.

To Get Your Kid Moving, Walk Out the Door
There’s an episode of Everybody Loves Raymond where Ray remembers an effective parenting method he learned from his dad: AIS. Ass In Seat. He’d say, “We’re leaving. 9 o’clock, AIS!” and whoever’s ass was not in their seat at the designated time would be left behind. The kicker? Ray tries it on Debra, his wife. Moral:…Read more...
'DNA Repairing' Sunscreens Might Actually Work
The sun’s ultraviolet radiation is dangerous to our skin cells because it damages our DNA. That’s why sun exposure can cause cancer, and why sunscreen is so important (even apart from its power to prevent sunburns). There are sunscreens that claim they can help your skin repair that damage—and, it turns out, they…Read more...

Add a Little Lemon Oil to Your Coffee
Hot coffee is not something I can even look at during the summer; it’s all iced coffee, sometimes even without cream because dairy gets more and more oppressive as the temperature climbs.

Should You Adjust Your Birth Control Pill Schedule When Traveling?
If you’ve used birth control pills for any length of time, you may have been told to take it at the exact same time every day to ensure effectiveness.

Start a Short Story Club Instead of a Book Club
Freshman year of college, my friend started a book club. We picked Ulysses. We met up once, and I’ve still never read Ulysses. Book clubs are hard! They’re so hard that blogs list things to talk about when no one in the book club read the book. (“Read reviews of the book out loud, and talk about those.”) If your book…Read more...

This week, a woman named Sylvia Acosta experienced what she described as a “Handmaid’s Tale moment” when passing through customs with her 15-year-old daughter at Dallas–Fort Worth International Airport.

Stop Netflix Trailers and Bump Up Your To-Be-Continued Content with 'Netflix Tweaked'
Chrome, Firefox: One of the more annoying aspects of watching Netflix on your laptop or desktop computer is the trailers the service likes to automatically play on your behalf. I have nothing against interesting trailers for movies or TV shows I might care about. And everyone suffers through trailers they’re not…Read more...
What to Do If You Miss a Bill Payment
Mistakes happen. Missing (or skipping) a bill payment or two isn’t the end of the world, but it could have serious consequences—including fees, higher interest rates, a dark mark on your credit score, garnished wages or a visit from a debt collector—if you’re not quick to fix it.
Stop Copy-Paste From Turning Your Emails Into Ransom Notes
You’re typing an email, you paste in some text from a Word doc, and suddenly half your email is in the same font as the doc. Or you paste a headline into a Google doc, and it shows up in giant 48pt text. This annoying paste behavior is the default in most Windows, MacOS, and web apps. In outgoing docs and emails, it…Read more...

Cipro's Safety Warnings Just Got Scarier
I was prescribed Cipro once. When I got the bottle of pills home, I took a minute to read the leaflet that the pharmacy stuffs in the bag—mostly just to be a diligent nerd, not because I expected any shocking news. But when I got to the part that said one side effect is tendon rupture(!!!), I put the leaflet down and…Read more...

Can Vaping Really Help You Quit Smoking?
Vaping is almost certainly less harmful to your health than smoking cigarettes, since it doesn’t contain bits of burned-up tobacco leaf (the cancer-causing “tar” in cigarettes). But if that fact leads smokers to start vaping, but then they don’t quit smoking, what good was the vaping?
