I fully planned on buying a turkey breast for my downsized Thanksgiving this year, yet when it came time to order the main course, my brain shut off, muscle memory took over, and I ordered a whole bird. Luckily, it was only a 10-pound bird, but 10 pounds of turkey is still a whole bunch of turkey for four people (the…
It’s one of the best times of the year if you’ve been thinking about upgrading your PC.

Even as the pandemic stretches into a nine-month slog, upending lives and shattering economies around the world, a pretty much universally reviled corporate custom still threatens to rear its ugly head: the office holiday party.

An Anker charger sale, Nixplay frames, and a Fortnite Switch lead Monday’s best deals.
This “year” is drawing to a close, and it seems like people are really leaning into Christmas, even more so than usual. (Their halls are already decked!) This, to me, makes sense: The year of our lord 2020 has been more of an “ordeal” than a “year,” and we deserve all the shiny lights, nostalgic music, and delicious…
I can remember, as a small child, thinking it odd that I bought Christmas gifts for my parents from my school’s mini holiday shop, and yet they didn’t buy me any gifts. Sure, Santa brought me plenty, it’s not like I didn’t have a slew of stuff to open, but still...shouldn’t a parent buy their kid a present on the…

Can you make a living off of TikTok? Yes, but it ain’t easy—the viral video platform offers limited ad revenue to its creators, so you’ll need to rely on sponsored posts, merchandise, and thousands of followers before you can quit your day job.
I don’t use weed, but the one time I did I ended up in an emergency room.
The lighting in a room isn’t just part of the decor; it can affect everything from your sleep schedule to your brain power.

There has already been a significant surge in people taking up various home improvement projects throughout the pandemic, and that’s likely to continue throughout the winter months. As long as we’re stuck at home, we might as well make it a little nicer. Not everyone has the time or budget for a major renovation, but…
Now that we all basically walk around with digital cameras all the time (courtesy of our phones), we may be in the habit of snapping pictures without thinking about it. That’s not a bad thing—it’s really handy to have that tool to capture unexpected moments, or a receipt that you need, but will probably end up losing.
As the holiday weekend winds down and we prepare to go back to work for these awkward weeks between holidays when it seems like everyone else is out of the office, but we’re all very much still here, we have another chance to catch something interesting in the night sky.

Though the weather has been unseasonably warm this week in many parts of the country, we know this isn’t going to last.

The holiday shopping season, like everything else, is looking a little different this year. Sure, there were still people at malls at 6 a.m. yesterday for Black Friday sales, but nothing compared to years past. Today, it’s Small Business Saturday, and the perfect opportunity to support independent retailers. Small…
Not everyone can afford to buy brand-name clothing and accessories, so when we see outlet versions of our favorite stores, it can be tempting to pop in and look for a deal. And at first glance, it appears that you have: you pick up a top says it retails for $200, but the outlet price is $29. If that seems too good to…
A simple but noteworthy attack is making the rounds on popular chat service WhatsApp. It’s incredibly easy for someone to pull off—all they need is access to a single account that has you listed as a contact.

It’s not only Thanksgiving, Hanukkah and Christmas that will look different this year: the whole holiday season will be (or at least should be) much quieter. Remember how December used to be—running between obligatory holiday parties and events for a few weeks, so when it came time to celebrate with the people you…

One of the first parts of working remotely that got people really excited (aside from being able to wear soft clothes all the time) is avoiding their daily commute. Whether that involved a traffic-filled car trip, or depending on perpetually late public transit, the idea of simply getting out of bed and walking to…

You’ve watched the parade and the dog show. You’ve cooked, cleaned and had dinner. You’ve managed to avoid (or at least tune out) football. Now what? Why not head outside and take a look at the Earth’s shadow? It will be easier to spot than usual both today and tomorrow. Here’s how to find it in the evening sky.
Whether you’re spending the holidays on your own, or (still) cooped up with the same people you’ve been quarantining with for months, you could probably use a break from your usual routine. Even if you’re not celebrating, you may still have a day (or at least part of a day) off to regroup. One way to do that is by…
Every few years, a new study or news segment comes out demonstrating how kids today are so disconnected from their food, they aren’t able to recognize even the most basic fruits and vegetables.

Good pots and pans tend to be expensive, and that’s especially true for copper cookware, which looks gorgeous, has a sort of timeless aesthetic appeal, and is often dramatically more expensive than even its high quality stainless steel equivalents. But is copper cookware really better? And if so, why?
Dogs are omnivores like us, so nearly everything on a Thanksgiving table may be appetizing to your pup. But a traditional turkey dinner includes things that can be harmful to dogs in large amounts. So if you plan to treat your pet to some leftovers, here’s what to be aware of.
