If you grew up in the United States, there’s almost no chance you don’t know who the Peanuts gang are. Even if you’re too young to realize that they were born as comics, and even though there isn’t an updated version on Nickelodeon, the holiday specials have pretty much ensured that Charlie Brown, Snoopy, and the...

We don’t hear a ton on the news or in our daily lives about quantum computing per se, but the majority of the technological advances that have changed our lives over the past several decades are thanks to increased computer power. Now, physicists have confirmed the existence of a particle they’re calling an anyon, and...

It’s kind of sad when the things people dream up don’t come to be until after they’re gone, but I like to think that somehow they always knew it was a solid idea and it would eventually come to fruition. That’s been the case with several of Nikola Tesla’s inventions, of course, and now an...

Let me preface this article with the cold, hard fact that not everyone is lucky enough to have a good father or father figure, and still more people have sadly lost their father too early in life to ever watch them become a grandfather. If either of these are you, I see you and I...

Being a good neighbor when everyone is behaving and in their own, single-family homes can be tough enough, some days, and people who share walls or buildings or other close-type quarters have my eternal sympathies. This person lived next door to a commercial unit that was rented to the city, who in turn rented the...

Most of us want to be good friends, when we can. We want to do right by other people, and if we can make someone feel better instead of worse, we usually do. That said, throwing a test at school is a big ask, especially for those of us who care about our grades. These...

There’s an episode of Seinfeld when George kicks Jerry out of his car because he won’t stop teasing him, and later he says that’s something he “always wanted” to do. Maybe it’s a fantasy of some, but I think most of us like to think of ourselves as good friends, ready and willing to offer rides...

It’s a brave new world out there, and one of the things families, friends, and people in other sorts of relationships are navigating is how and when to share streaming service login information, and when and how to cut that off if there’s a falling out between parties. This poster is the friend of someone...

Listen. I know that everyone can be lazy, and that we all have those down days when we don’t feel like being a responsible adult and taking care of ourselves and our space. That said, across the board, it seems like while the women in relationships have days like these, the men in those relationships...

There have been hundreds of thousands of advancements in the past several decades that have changed and improved the way we live our lives every single day, and GPS definitely fits into that category. Whether it’s helping us get where we’re going anywhere in the world or helping police find missing persons, to a hundred...

Some things can’t really be taught – to some extent, our personalities are formed the moment we enter the world, and though our parents and other adults in our lives can guide us toward being our best selves, we’ll never really change. That said, children are very malleable, and almost no one is born wanting...

Fall Guys: Ultimate Knockout is a quirky little game that The Steam calls “a free-for-all struggle through round after round of escalating chaos until one victor remains.” It allows up to 60 players online at a time and has an energy and bright colors reminiscent of Animal Crossing  or Rocket League that’s made the game an...

There are tons of reasons that a person might be ready to get rid of something super cool from their home – maybe they got something new, maybe they’re getting divorced, maybe they’re moving and can’t fit it in, maybe they’re downsizing – and since forever, people have been donating old items or selling them...

New York City is one of those places people love to visit, and where even more people love calling home. There are so many amazing things about living in the city, but one thing that’s not typically available is a garage (tag, yard) sale – there just aren’t garages readily available! That doesn’t stop New...

We’ve all heard about garage sales (or yard sales or tag sales, depending on where you might live in the country), and surely we’ve all visited a pawn shop or a thrift store or had something handed down in our family through the years. They’re a cheap way to find something we need that’s new-to-us,...
