I did not plan to make this drink today. I planned to make a drink that featured a lot of Campari, because I love Campari. But sadly, I am out of Campari. The liquor store is not far, but it is very cold out, and the ever-rising number of COVID cases in my city does not make the idea of venturing out any more enticing.
A friend of mine recently asked if their plan to move from AT&T DSL to a cable internet provider was a good one. As one who made that same leap many years ago, I felt like shipping them a celebration beer. For me, the transition was a joy akin to what I’d imagine the Mandalorian feels after getting the hyperdrive to…

My husband is on a roll this week. First, he dominated the lingering smell of our dog’s vomit escapades with this coffee grounds hack. Then, after eight fall seasons of living in this house, he finally figured out how to transport the leaves that cover the entire surface of our backyard to the street—by using a giant…
Background tunes make Twitch streams more immersive and fun, but the platform has seen an increase in Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) infringement notifications targeting streamers playing recorded music during their streams. This uptick led to weeks of confusion, with streamers unsure of Twitch’s music…
Pre-cooked spiral cut hams—also known as “city hams”—have always been a favorite of mine since there is no danger of undercooking and we’re free to focus flavor. Heating and serving may seem simple enough, but you can overdo it in the oven, leading to a dry, chewy pork product, and nobody wants that. Luckily, there…

When a floating dust particle or wayward grain of pollen waft their way into my sinuses, a predictable physiological response occurs: I scream bloody murder through my nose in the form of a massive, cacophonous sneeze.
Hello cats and kittens, and welcome to another delicious installment of the Skillet Chili Cook-Off, the seasonal culinary competition that’s keeping me (and my freezer) full of spicy stew.
As we continue our month of training the overhead press, it’s time to address the way you might be cheating—or not, depending on how you look at it. The press is really two different lifts, depending on whether you bend your knees to do it.
At this point, you’ve probably read of the detrimental impact doomscrolling habits can have on your mental health (if you couldn’t already tell by the fact that doing it makes you feel terrible). Maybe you’ve even cut back a little. But then last week happened. And even if you’re now more in the territory of “…
A Switch game sale and ModCloth Black Friday deals lead Friday’s best deals.
Now that the presidential election is over, we can all stop pretending we have something in common with half the people in the country and retreat to our own tiny, personal subcultures. With this in mind, check out some interesting narrowcast kid niches from the internet and beyond.
I recently went furniture shopping, and found that when you go to real, fancy furniture stores (not the Swedish assemble-it-yourself kind), the sales representatives really try to push fabric swatches on you.
It’s interesting how much we used to talk about the need for work-life balance, back when things were actually kind of balanced. Sure, many of us were stressed and spread thin in pre-pandemic times, but there was a set time for work and a time for family and a time for self-care, even if it felt like one of those…
Now that Google will soon start counting anything you’ve uploaded to Google Photos toward your storage limit—which tops out at 15GB for a free plan—it’s worth performing a personal audit. How much space am I using? How can I stretch my free plan as far as possible? And how can I move my photos to a different service…
Christmas is going to be a little weird this year; let’s not make it worse by waiting until the last minute to buy gifts, especially if you have to buy them online. Shipping speeds normally get a little worse than usual during this time, and with coronavirus restrictions still squeezing everyone thin, it may be even…
When your dishwasher’s broken and you’re moving apartments soon, with no response from the super, you may be in a weirdly specific situation that I am coincidentally also faced with as of this writing. When I found out countertop dishwashers exist, however, my initial reaction was that of intrigue; finally, an option…
Gardening has always had its fair share of fans, but it’s another example of an activity—like baking, knitting, and doing puzzles—that has taken off even more since the COVID-19 outbreak began. Not only do some people find it relaxin; gardening also has mood-boosting and mental health benefits. Plus, at a time when…
The sunsets are earlier, the nights are cold, and it’s time to hibernate with all of your favorite things. For me, that’s reality television, which has been my comfort blanket since March lasted seven months long. There’s so much to be learned from reality TV, like a ridiculous documentary focused on weird games,…
