Thanks to the pandemic, I’m spending way more time inside than usual. Which, in turn, means I’m spending way more time staring at screens. Basically, within seconds of waking up, I’m looking at my phone, before transitioning to my laptop all day, only to return to my...
Some of you may hate it, and some of you may rejoice at the news, but it’s happening all the same: Summer is ending. For many across the country, the changing seasons spell shorter days and rapidly dropping temperatures. But that doesn’t mean summer can’t rear it’s...
Being bearded certainly has its perks: You can spend less time shaving and more time, uh… twisting your mustache! You can wear less sunscreen, too. You can even transcend to a higher level of hotness, at least hypothetically. But every rose has its thorn — and every beard has its nauseating...

I know, I know, in a world where dollar-slice pizza joints can make serious cash, it’s not so crazy that laundromats — where the currency has long been quarters — could do the same. I also realize that a load of laundry or spin in the dryer isn’t just a quarter...
