Getting a haircut can sometimes feel like being operated on, at least in the sense that some person is chopping away at an extension of your body with an assortment of extremely sharp metallic items. It can be especially disconcerting when your barber keeps whipping out all...
Of all the things you might consider in the aftermath of a breakup, I posit that it’s unlikely you stopped to consider that, had you and your significant other had an extra few hundred square feet of space in the apartment you shared, maybe you’d still be...
According to the American Hair Loss Association, a whopping 85 percent of men experience noticeable hair loss by age 50. The one upside is, at least all those dudes can commiserate together. But those who deal with conspicuous hair loss at a much younger age — say,...
Research shows that human homes harbor an average of 100 different insect species, regardless of cleanliness or the presence of pets, which often provide outdoor bugs with free (albeit bumpy) rides to the great indoors. Glancing around my home office, I see a small spider hanging in an upper...
A few years back, the internet pointed and laughed when a young baseball fan got a brain freeze after slamming a slushee. And while we’re far too mature to laugh at such a thing (okay, we laughed too — sorry, kid), we did aim to find the...
I don’t know about you, but when I head to a buffet, I think of it as if I’m going to war. I don’t eat for hours beforehand, and when I get there, I make sure that I get my full money’s worth. Screw the salad bar and...
Ever had the urge to walk right across America, from Mexico to Canada, all by yourself? These three guys have — on the Pacific Crest Trail, or PCT, a months-long, 2,650-mile hike through California, Oregon and Washington. What’s it like being outside and on the move for several...
Time keeps on slipping, and since my job involves staring at an endless number of miniature words on an incredibly bright computer screen, I suspect that having to wear glasses is in the cards for me. I’m not mad about it or anything: I actually think glasses...
In the U.S., on average, 20 people die every day waiting for an organ transplant. On the face of it, this makes no sense: According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), there were 2,813,503 registered deaths in the country in 2017: That’s nearly 8,000 per day....
So you want to change things up, huh? I don’t blame you. I often find myself wearing the same old clothes until my girlfriend inevitably complains about my T-shirts turning into caveman-style torso wraps. I also haven’t had a considerable haircut since some time back in 2015,...
When it comes to working out, we’re not all strongmen like Hafþór Júlíus Björnsson (aka The Mountain). In fact, many of us could go our entire lives and still have no clue how a lat pull-down differs from an incline bench. Which is to say, there’s no shame in not...
There are a lot of different ways to contract the dreaded runs — there’s bacterial infections, allergic reactions and spicy potato chips, just to name a few. But all forms of the runs are not equal. While many can be pretty easily tamed by over-the-counter antidiarrheals, some...
