Spend Less Time at the DMV by Submitting Your Real ID Paperwork Online

Starting October 1, 2020 you’re going to need a Real ID or a passport to board any domestic flight in the United States. If you don’t already have one (a Real ID will have a gold or black star in the top-right corner), then acquiring one can be a potentially long and painful process.

Turn Down Future Opportunites That You Wouldn't Also Do Right Now

We are all presented with new opportunities every day. Choosing which of those opportunities to say yes to can sometimes be a challenging task. That said, saying no to things that come along is an essential part of being successful. We can’t all do everything.

Join Google and Delete Cheetah Mobile's Spammy Apps From Your Android

Google recently announced it banned over 600 apps from the Play Store for using aggressive advertising practices. Buzzfeed reports that many were published by relatively popular developers like Cheetah Mobile, which had 45 apps available on the Play Store—some with billions of downloads—before being banned.

This Is the Proper Etiquette for Leaving a Hotel Room

Even if you’re someone who doesn’t love traveling but has to do it for work, you probably at least appreciate the fact that you get to sleep in a clean, newly made bed every night. And while it may seem like magic (Poof! You get back from your meetings and...

Which Flip Phone is Better: Samsung's Galaxy Z Flip or the Motorola Razr?

Samsung’s February 11 “Samsung Unpacked” event featured several new devices, including its next attempt at a foldable smartphone: The Galaxy Z Flip. Unlike the Galaxy Fold’s vertically folding screen, the Z Flip folds horizontally like old-school flip phones—not to mention Motorola’s recently released Razr smartphone.

How to Train Consistently Without Losing Motivation

I lift. A lot. I’m at the gym usually six days a week, and I find an excuse to compete every couple of months. While it’s fine (and maybe even healthier) for exercise to be a casual thing, committing hard to an athletic pursuit often requires some rejiggering of your...

3-Ingredient Happy Hour

Add Chartreuse to Your Campari and Soda

When I recommend a new bottle of booze, I try to feature it in multiple recipes, so it doesn’t sit on your bar cart, languishing away. I particularly like to make a point of this with expensive bottles, and green Chartreuse—which I used in Lifehacker’s birthday cocktail—is, uh, quite pricey.

Dining Alone Is the Best

I enjoy sharing food with other people in an extreme way, but I’m also an enthusiastic and unapologetic solo diner. If the many articles written about the subject are to be believed, the main challenge facing the solo diner is social anxiety, embarrassment, and shame. As someone who has never...

Google’s Message to Huawei Device Users: Do Not Use the Side Door to Install Google Apps

Google wants to clear things up for Huawei device users: Google’s apps and services cannot be preloaded on new Huawei devices and are not available due to U.S. government restrictions.

Someone Almost Beat LEGO Star Wars: The Complete Saga Without Collecting Any Studs

Whenever I played the LEGO Star Wars games, I would spend way too much time farming studs. I did this because collecting studs lets you unlock new characters, features and also because it is satisfying. But one player decided to try and play through all the LEGO Star Wars games...

Nobody Knows Why A Random NPC In Red Dead Redemption II Suddenly Became A Murderer

I’ve played a lot of Red Dead Redemption II and its online multiplayer mode. At this point, I’ve put in hundreds and hundreds of hours. And I’ve seen many strange, cool and bad things. But I ain’t seen anything like what one player shared on the RDR2 subreddit a few...

Body Painting Streamer Banned For Nudity Despite Efforts To Stay Within Twitch's Rules [UPDATE]

Twitch’s policies around content it deems “sexual” are inconsistently applied, but body painting—creating art using one’s face and torso as the canvas—doesn’t run afoul of them. Body painting even has its own official tag on the streaming platform. That, however, has not stopped Twitch from indefinitely suspending a streamer who...
