Last week, we found our readers’ favorite domain name registrars, but owning a domain isn’t very useful unless you can put a website on it. So this week, we’re looking for nominations for the best hosting service. Check out the rules below, then head down to the comments to support your pick.
Rick and Morty is back and, thanks to the teaser premier that aired back in April, so is an insane amount of enthusiasm for “Szechuan Sauce,” a limited edition nugget sauce that was released to help promote the 1998 Disney film Mulan.
There’s no such thing as a gifted child—Albert Einstein had many failures when starting his work and most Nobel laureates weren’t exceptionally smart as children. If you want to raise a “gifted child,” telling your kids that they’re smart could lead to burnout and could even drive them to fear failure. Instead,…
A stolen smartphone can ruin anyone’s day, though our smartphones’ built-in anti-theft software seems to be working, according to San Francisco District Attorney George Gascón, who cited a 50% drop in phone-related robberies from 2013 to 2016 after the passage of the Smartphone Theft Prevention Act.
If you’ve flown at all in the last few years, you know the TSA wants you to pull out your laptop and place it in a separate bin for security screening. Well: now they want you to do the same with your tablets, e-readers, and even game consoles.
We live in confusing times; the rules of etiquette have become increasingly complicated, and none of us can keep up. We’re here, however, to help you try.
Let’s face it. We’re not always awesome at helping friends who are grieving, but when it comes to supporting children who’ve lost a close loved one, we often clench up and fumble even more. They’re little, and can seem so fragile, and it’s hard to know just how much they comprehend (spoiler: it’s a lot more than we…
It isn’t hard to go from reading an article on your phone to reading it on your laptop. All you need to do is remember where you found it, right? But searching for something you already have in front of you is redundant, especially since companies like Google, Microsoft, and Apple all have ways to take what’s on your…
You’re all set to leave for your well-deserved summer vacation when you realize you haven’t prepped your home at all. Here’s a list of all the energy vampires you should disable (or adjust) before you head out.
In “The Assistant Economy,” Dissent Magazine analyzes the privileged and idiosyncratic career path of “personal assistants” who serve a single high-profile professional, often in a creative field, in a job that often provides no direct promotion opportunities (a movie director can’t train you to replace them) but…
Getting into poetry can be an intimidating experience, but the benefits of expressive writing are numerous. If you’re unfamiliar with the genre, you might spend your time analyzing poems that aren’t exactly considered required reading. But if you want to get to the greats with ease, Lithub editor Emily Temple has …
Hello sous-vide fam, and welcome back to another exciting topic-picking session for Will It Sous Vide?, the column where I make whatever you want me to with my immersion circulator.

On Friday, FDA commissioner Scott Gottlieb announced some new cigarette and vaping regulations that the agency will put into place over the next few months or years. One of the biggest: the addictive component of cigarettes will have to go away.
You’ve probably got enough on your plate without wasting time on phone chores that could be running automatically—like clearing out old photos, muting and unmuting your handset, posting to all of your social media accounts at once, and so on. Here are five automations you can set up quickly and for free as soon as you…
Amazon’s Fire HD 10, a DEWALT combo kit, and an exclusive deal for our new Facebook community group lead off Monday’s best deals from around the web.
This week, Alan Alda and The Moth’s Catherine Burns join us to talk about storytelling. What makes a good story? What makes a good storyteller? How can we use storytelling to communicate better, to sell people on our ideas, to make people like us?
Welcome back to Sunday Sustenance! I ate roughly a pound of bread and pecans for last week’s grilled french toast recipe, so this week, I’m hunting down some lighter fare.
Even if you regularly eschew meat-eating and take public transportation, all your efforts at reducing your carbon footprint can be easily outweighed by indulging in one of the other biggest individual contributions to climate change: Flying. Most advice on lowering your carbon footprint notes that flying is bad, and…

Amazon appears to have killed off the Fire HD 10, which is a shame, because it was a really solid full-sized tablet for the money. Luckily, you still have a chance to get one as Amazon is clearing out refurbs for just $120 today. That’s $80 less than the usual refurb price, and $110 less than what Amazon used to…
There is not a secret Starbucks drink named the Frappajappajooza. That’s just Twitter user wellmanlaylah putting blue Gatorade in a cup. But in another sense, there is a Frappajappajooza, and it’s made of whatever you want, so long as you choose from existing Starbucks ingredients.
Call it the new game of Truth. Players go around the table answering questions in their little blue booklets, but these questions aren’t geared to get them talking about that one time they went skinny dipping in Maui. Instead, the questions aim to launch difficult conversations, ones that may be painful, ones they may…
Whether you have a home improvement project on the horizon, or just like collecting tools, Amazon’s one-day DEWALT deal is pretty spectacular.
When you’re in high school and college, you make a few friends pretty much every day. However, once you graduate, cultivating new friendships, or even meeting people you might want to potentially be friends with, gets a little more difficult. Now there’s an app for that. Called Patook, it’s designed to work a lot like…
If you want to cut the cord, but can’t abide earbuds, Sony’s popular on-ear MDRXB650BTs are on sale for $78 right now, within $10 of the all-time low we saw around Black Friday. These include NFC pairing, a built-in microphone, and 30 hours of battery life, and you even get your choice of three different colors.
If you’re desperate for distraction or want to get your friend’s kid something that they’ll love but their parents might hate, an on-trend fidget toy is the way to go. While it’s disputed whether or not they actually help to reduce anxiety or increase focus, fidgeting is a common human activity, and with some…
My best friend and life partner, Tucker Bordeaux III, recently turned fourteen. While he’s thankfully in relatively good health for a man approaching 100 in dog years, he’s developed some skin issues in his old age that require me to give him a bath every few days. Tucker, as you might imagine, was not pleased with…
The newest Breville Smart Oven, Sony Bluetooth headphones, and a ridiculously good deal on a pressure washer lead off Sunday’s best deals from around the web.
Breville added air frying and dehydrating features to your favorite line of toaster ovens, and the feature-packed Smart Oven Air is $80 off for the first time ever.
During my morning walk with my dog Friday we stopped by my local Chase for me to deposit some cash I had. I used the ATM outside, got a receipt confirming my deposit, and continued about my day. Around 4pm I went to look at my Chase account for an unrelated reason and noticed the money wasn’t there. A cash deposit…
When it comes to last-minute travel, HotelTonight can be a lifesaver. The app allows you to get same-day hotel rooms at a fraction of the cost you might pay had you booked the room earlier. This week it added another feature: the option to upgrade that last-minute booking to a suite.
Yes, it’s refurbished, but you can take home this well-reviewed Breville juicer for $60 right now, compared to over $170 brand new. The juicer comes with a 3” feeding chute that can gobble up fruits whole, and an 850 watt motor to pulverize them without breaking a sweat.

A coffee maker that Walter White would love, ExOfficio’s crazy-popular underwear, and an insane Breville juicer deal lead off Saturday’s best deals.
You could live your whole life cooking boxed Barilla pasta, and never once realize how fun and rewarding it can be to make your own. This Philips pasta maker isn’t cheap, but it lets you create your own noodles with multiple shapes in just 15 minutes. $200 is within $10 of the best price Amazon’s ever listed, so I’d…
Sure, ice cold cocktails and frozen drinks can be great when the weather’s hot, but what your summer really needs is an alcoholic frozen icy pop.
A beach picnic always sounds delightful but, unless you want soggy sandwiches and a mouthful of sand, some planning is required. After a life of living only in states that have a coast, I have developed a successful strategy for keeping sand out of my food and mouth.
Tomorrow is Lipstick Day and M.A.C. is giving away free full tubes of the stuff to celebrate. You don’t have to buy anything, just show up at one of their U.S. stores and pick a color. I’d try to get there early though, as supplies are limited.
Starting next month, Coke Zero will be gone, replaced with a nearly identical drink that has nearly identical packing and a 100% identical ingredients list. Its replacement, Coke Zero Sugar, will be a bullshit drink, but Coke Zero was a bullshit drink too.
Apple is doing away with the iPod Shuffle, a gadget I’d eradicated from my mind until yesterday. And now I’m suddenly awash with emotion for a little white stick I hadn’t considered once in this decade. I’m going to miss the hell out of it. Damn you Apple, quit playing shuffle with my heart.
Earlier this year, North Carolina’s General Assembly partially repealed HB2, the so-called “bathroom bill” that restricted cities in North Carolina from enacting local anti-discrimination laws and required transgender people to use bathrooms that corresponded to the sex on their birth certificates. Since then, many…
Last week, we kicked off our roundup of Weekly Upgrades with Prime Day purchases, hydration, and tossing out unnecessary cosmetics.
Watching video from your smartphone at night tends to be really harsh on your eyes, not to mention really irritating for other people in the room who may actually be trying to sleep. And while a number of video players and apps are now releasing a “dark mode” feature, which inverts the interface’s colors, these…
If you haven’t deep-cleaned your carpet recently (or ever, not judging), get ready for an eye-opening experience when you see just how much crap a person can track into a home.
Between their acquisition of Whole Foods, Jeff Bezos’ (hours-long) takeover as the world’s richest corporate overlord, the uninhibited growth of Prime day, and our biggest pop stars maybe or maybe not sizing themselves up for next day shipping, Amazon’s appetite as the planet’s biggest retail behemoth is somehow…
Happy weekend, and welcome back to 3-Ingredient Happy Hour, the weekly drink column featuring super simple yet delicious libations. This weekend we’re going to be sipping on a classic cocktail that is, at its core, just a glass of clear, cold, alcohol: the Vesper martini.
HIIT—or High Intensity Interval Training, for the uninitiated—is one of the trendiest exercise programs out there at the moment, but getting started as a first-timer can be daunting, to say the least. (“High intensity” has a way of making a workout sound effective, but not necessarily so approachable.)
Our readers have bought thousands of entry-level Roomba 650s, but today we’ve spotted an all-time low price on the upgraded 690, which adds a few much-needed features.
