An undocumented Gmail search operator, language: (or simply lang:), finds messages by the language they’re written in. Give it a try in your inbox: lang:Portuguese and lang:Arabic both turn up several messages in the Lifehacker tips box. Sadly -lang:English doesn’t seem to work, which would be perfect to create a filter for all messages not in English; but you can create filters to snag messages in particular languages you don’t speak, for instance.

Planning on shuffling off to the store this weekend to pick up your frozen turkey? Before you venture out, check out food blog startcooking.com’s thorough guide to choosing, prepping, cooking, and carving your bird, whether you’re a first-timer or Thanksgiving veteran. If you take nothing else away, write down the basics of this essential tip and keep it handy: If you are using a regular meat thermometer, insert it about 2.5 inches into the deepest part of the turkey, without touching the bone. The internal temperature should reach 170 degrees F in the breast or 180 degrees F in the thigh and 165 degrees F in the centre of the stuffing. The juices should run clear and the joints should be loose.
