The tiny, thin pair of prongs used on plugs in North America and in other parts of the world are nearly impossible to jam into a power outlet if you can’t see what you’re doing. Ten One Design’s new Stella plug improves on the design with something we’ve never seen before: a built-in flashlight that automatically…

Is there anything better than a nicely roasted rotisserie chicken from the store? Just pick one of those bad boys up, and you’ve got dinner already halfway made. Depending on the size of your family, though, you might end up with a few pieces of leftover bird. In honor of our rotisserie chicken smackdown (and we’ve…

Amazon’s ultra-affordable Fire tablets are no iPads, but they’re pretty damn good for the price, and that’s especially true today. Prime members can currently grab the 7" model for $35, or the Fire HD 10 for $110. The 10" tablet includes a 1920x1200 IPS display and stereo speakers, making it a great portable TV for…
Listen to me, a professional writer: School and college teach you bad writing habits. One of those bad habits is padding out your work to reach a minimum page count. Anything you do to “cheat” at your page count, by making less text look like more, is an act of noble rebellion. And the new font Times Newer Roman is an…
It’s National Cheeseburger Day and, while I don’t really believe in these contrived food holidays—every day is cheeseburger day if you love yourself—I do enjoy a deal or two. Here are some spots where you can a burger—and in one case, pancakes—for cheap (or free!) today:

How will your budget change as your financial responsibilities shift? That’s what we’re looking at this week.
With its latest redesign, Google Fit no longer makes a big deal about your steps for the day (although the number is still there, in fine print). Instead, you’re supposed to be tracking your Move Minutes and the mysterious Heart Points.
Every week, we share the shortcuts, workspaces, and productivity tips of our favorite experts. This week, we’re going behind the scenes at Lifehacker. I’m Michelle Woo, and this is how I work.
Storms can destroy your home and level your neighborhood, but even after they pass, flooding presents unique dangers you might not be aware of. Even walking through water, it turns out, can kill you.
If you’ve been mourning the loss of your unlimited movie plan with MoviePass, now you have the option to snag a similar deal from its biggest competitor. Sinemia announced Monday that it will offer a new “unlimited” ticket option for $29.99 per month.
I rarely cook something the same way twice. This is especially true with pasta sauce, as it is adaptable by nature. The other night I was making a simple spaghetti dinner for myself and a friend, simply because I had found a can of tomatoes I didn’t know I had. As I was tasting and tweaking, I remembered I had about…
This week, we’re digging into the things you’re terrified of—the concrete stuff like fear of spiders and heights, as well as the more conceptual, existential anxiety we all have about just being alive. First, we interview Dean Sluyter, author of the new book Fear Less: Living Beyond Fear, Anxiety, Anger, and Addiction…
Infant walkers, those wheeled contraptions that give babies who can’t yet walk the sudden ability to walk, are bad. This has been long established. But parents keep using them and so pediatricians are renewing the call for a ban.
Some culinary combinations are so perfect they can work in a variety of configurations. Bacon, lettuce, and tomato makes a perfect sandwich, but also an amazing pasta (swap out arugula for lettuce). The pairing of chocolate and peanut butter works as well in ice cream as it does in a candy bar. Grilled cheese and…
The fact is that picture differences in most sub $1K 4K TVs are unnoticeable by most of us unless compared side-by-side with other sets. For just $398, this 60-Inch Hisense 4K Smart UHD TV is a massive value. Sure it only has three HDMI inputs, and only supports HDR10 instead of Dolby Vision, but at this price and…
Classical music has been evolving for centuries, so there are all different kinds of sounds. That means that if you hate one kind, you can still love several other kinds. Hate opera? You still might love the orchestra. Symphonies too overwhelming? Try some shorter, sparer chamber music. In the video above, we give you…

My love for eggplant is fierce, pure, and, according to a lot of people, not normal. I don’t get it. At its best, this gorgeous nightshade nothing short of edible silk—what’s not to love about that?

Apple is set to release a slew of software updates today that it announced last week including iOS 12, watchOS 5 and tvOS 12.
When it’s time to choose books to read, kids will often reach for old favorites. This isn’t a bad thing—there are benefits in repeating the same stories over and over. But it’s possible they just don’t know what else is hidden deep in the shelves.
If you’re reading TwoCents, then you’re probably looking for advice to live a better financial life. You may want to be more responsible with your money, or learn how to invest better, or simply have a daily reminder to look after your money.

With iPhone preorders kicking off a few days ago—for the iPhone XS and XS Max, at least—you might have already plunked down a small fortune for a brand-new smartphone. You also probably took a look at your sad, older iPhone, who loves you very much and wishes you the very best life, and considered enrolling in Apple’s…
Wrangle up the right studies and you can make anything look deadly. Breakfast cereal—at least, the kind without cartoon mascots—might seem innocuous, and might be marketed as healthy, but that’s no reason to think that every naturally-flavored bite isn’t speeding you towards the grave. Nothing, in this world, is above…
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.

Meditation expert and author Dean Sluyter teaches the practice of “natural” meditation. In the video above, he explains how to get into the proper mindset, how often one should meditate, and how to avoid the common problem of “trying” to meditate.
After watching Crazy Rich Asians, what I want to do in Singapore is party on a cargo ship in international waters and buy an outfit that costs more than my home. What I do not want to do is wade through ankle-deep water in a church. But I can’t afford to do any of that. How about the crazy middle class, what can we do…
I’m most excited this week about a weird limited series called Maniac from Cary Joji Fukunaga (Beasts of No Nation, True Detective, It). Emma Stone and Jonah Hill star as patients in a “mindbending pharmaceutical trial gone awry.” It looks like they hallucinate themselves into a lot of wacky situations, allowing for…
Levi’s and Dockers are associated with jeans and khakis, respectively, and you’ll indeed find plenty of those in today’s Amazon Gold Box. But dig a little deeper, and you’ll also find deals on wallets, belts, shirts, and more. There are dozens of styles on sale for men and women, all with Prime shipping available, but…
Gin is kind of having a moment right now. For distilleries, gin is a lot easier to get started with, simply because it doesn’t require barrel aging. If you’re a new distillery you can distill a gin and start selling it almost immediately, while a new whiskey distillery might have to wait a few years before it has a…
The 2018 Emmy Awards air Monday night (September 17th). The event is happening live at the Microsoft Theater in downtown Los Angeles, and will be broadcast live on both coasts simultaneously starting at 5pm ET/ 8pm PT.
In theory, reading an e-book is an easy proposition. You can access e-books on your phone (as well as a gazillion other devices) so you should be able to pick them up and read a page or two whenever you feel like. Except when you don’t.

I wait for this moment all year: peak apple season. Apple cider Yankee Candle has been purchased. Apple hand wash from Bath & Body Works stands proudly at the sink. (I’m not even exaggerating; if you entered my home right now you would know these facts to be true.) And as usual, I’m purchasing more apples than I know…
Anker’s huge charging accessory sale, $30 pajamas, and a bunch of JBL home theater speakers lead off Saturday’s best deals.
Whenever I’m given (or purchase) a nice bottle of wine, I’m immediately faced with the question of whether or not it’s something I plan on drinking right now, or something I want to drink later.
