Alcohol is a carcinogen, so yes, it could destroy your health — but only if you lose that gamble and develop cancer from it.

I know there was some impacts on staff when Lifehacker was sold, but I like this new Lifehacker.

I recall someone telling a story about buying a crystal ball from a new age store, and the owner was very insistent that she keep it covered up any time she wasn’t using it and store it away from windows.

I’d argue they do look cool, but that’s all.

If your avocado is ripe, you can poke the knife through the skin and push the pit out.

Ginger is a solid remedy for nausea (although yeah, it’s not magic; nothing is).

I was talking to someone literally today who said Bollywood dancers are sometimes only given a few hours to learn the dance they’ll perform in a given scene. The professionals are that good at nailing the choreography.
