Your partner could be incredible, flawless, perfection incarnate — and still annoy the hell out of you after too much time together. This has become readily apparent since the coronavirus forced us to hunker down in our homes with our significant others for months on end and,...
It’s a tale as old as time: Store spaghetti sauce in Tupperware just once, and you might as well kiss that once-clear plastic container goodbye forever. Doesn’t matter what you do, either — send the orange-tinged monstrosity through the dishwasher, scrub it with steel wool, spray it...
By now, hopefully, we’ve all settled into a nice little routine in relative COVID isolation that involves getting out of bed each morning, walking 10 steps to work in the other room (or, let’s face it, rolling over in bed and grabbing the computer), #riseandgrind-ing for X...

We, as humans, have pioneered a lot of technology over the centuries. There was the wheel — that was cool; the first system of celestial navigation — allowed us to travel the open oceans, natch; nuclear power — yeah, not going to go there. And then, of...
You could smell like 2,000-year-old mummy juice and have no idea. Conversely, your quarantine partner could smell like 2,000-year-old mummy juice, and you could detect them from a mile away (or at least the other room). This is because our noses and brains are designed to detect...
