Father’s Day is coming in strong this Sunday and it’s time to get organised. And that, my friends, starts with a lovely message in a pizza box.
The 2020 US Open is currently under way. If you love your tennis here’s how you can stream the Grand Slam matches in Australia. What is the US Open? The US Open, which is being held in Flushing Meadows, New York, is the final Grand Slam for the year on…
The podcast revolution has led to many of us subscribing to dozens of podcasts — and if you’re anything like me, you found yourself with a buffet problem: You’ve put way too much on your plate. More than you could possibly consume. Our feeds are bloated with series we no…
Zachary Shakked is a 24 year-old, self-employed iOS app developer who sets his own schedule. “I typically sleep in, no alarm clock, wake up around 9 or 10, eat breakfast (usually overnight oats or eggs and toast),” he explained over email. “I usually do a lot of grazing — I…
Anise is a dark, dangerous, nihilistic flavour. Maybe it’s because I’m used to drinking and seeing other people drink absinthe at the local goth bar, or maybe it’s because absinthe was illegal in the U.S. until 2007 (the year I turned 21), but it does not surprise me that this…
With so much competing media coverage — between the pandemic, the police violence against people of colour, the upcoming elections, a particularly active hurricane season — it’s a lot to take in. At the same time, though, you still might want to be aware of what’s happening in the world….
You can use a ramekin and zap your way to an egg McMuffin, but if you prefer a stove-cooked situation, an ice cube is surprisingly helpful.
If you’re someone who enjoys a good expletive, you may have found yourself in the position of unintentionally including one in an email — or at the very least, have wanted to. Depending on where and with whom you work, that may be frowned upon, or even automatically trigger an…
This weekend is the Call of Duty League (CDL) championship tournament. Fans can tune in to watch the best Call of Duty: Modern Warfare teams compete live on August 29 and 30, and viewers have a chance to earn in-game rewards and potentially a spot in the upcoming Call of…
I drive a lot of different vehicles when I need to get around, but I’m always a little worried when it’s time to fill them up. Will something happen if I use 91 instead of 95, or vice versa? This thread at StackExchange answers the question. Long story short; there’s…
If you’ve never really bothered paying attention to how many superannuation funds you have, now’s a good time to start. The younger you are, the less likely you are to be greatly concerned with your super. It’s a distant pot of money you receive after a lifetime of work. But…
The world has made strides towards closing the pay gap across gender and race among other factors that disproportionately affect it. In Australia, the gap is steadily decreasing but data shows it’s still persisting in the country and some states fare worse than others. The Workplace Gender Equality Agency (WGEA)…
Have you ever sat down to enjoy a glass of wine but aren’t keen to finish a bottle? We’ve all been there. It might’ve put you off opening one altogether if you know it won’t be touched for a few days and nobody wants to waste good wine. Storing and…
Telstra is often referred to as Australia’s best mobile network, but that privilege typically comes at a price.
In my nearly five years of writing for Lifehacker, I have written about, edited, tested and developed many food hacks and recipes. Picking a favourite is not like picking a favourite child, only because I don’t have any children (and never felt those motherly emotions); picking a favourite child would…
If you follow sports at all (or even if you don’t), you probably noticed that neither the NBA nor WNBA played any of the games they were scheduled to play yesterday. It started with the Milwaukee Bucks refusing to play their scheduled playoff game with the Orlando Magic, and quickly…
This school year is going to be downright bizarre. There is a lot of new in our new normal to adjust to — especially if, in addition to everything else, you’re also the new kid in what is suddenly a virtual classroom. Being new to the class is exciting and…
Twitter’s insistence on showing tweets out of order has been a long-running complaint. Sure, there’s a setting that claims to show your feed in chronological order, but it almost always resets back to the “top tweets” view if you don’t keep an eye on it.
Changing up your hairstyle is fun, and if you’ve never seen yourself with short hair, you might be wondering what you look like with a cute bob. Sure, there are plenty of apps that will help you visualize it, but as it turns out, there’s an even easier, low-tech way…
What if you could help bushfire-affect regions just by wiping your bum? Thanks to How We Roll, a company that specialises in recycled toilet paper, this hy-poo-thetical is now a reality. To help revitalise the floral life of these affected communities, How We Roll have teamed up with One Tree…
Parents often use books as a way to introduce and spark conversations around important topics, concepts or themes with their kids. Using books in this way is particularly important now, as the country grapples with so many social justice issues. That’s why Netflix says it has created a new live-action…
One of the perks of living in a desert climate is that you don’t necessarily need air conditioning — in many cases, evaporative cooling will do the trick. Since so-called swamp coolers work best with good air circulation, we can leave our windows (and sometimes our doors) cracked all summer…
Google Home version 2.27 adds a bunch of new features to the app, including new in-app controls for Nest home security products on iOS and Android and expanded device support for Android 11’s Power Menu shortcuts. Oh, and there’s finally a dark mode on Android — though it might be…
Back-to-school is traditionally a stressful and trying time for kids. They just spent an entire holiday playing Minecraft, running through sprinklers and staying up late. Now they’re either expected to sit still in a classroom with a mask on all day, or they’re logging in from home and sulking through…
Have you used Google lately and been greeted by a yellow warning saying that the way Australians search on Google is under threat?
Here are 10 surprising kitchen techniques that will save you a bunch of time — not to mention wow your friends.
Advertising can be a pricey endeavour for any business, particularly those in the small to medium category (SMBs). COVID-19’s effects on the economy and businesses are only making advertising harder for owners, or end up taking the idea off the table altogether until things calm down. Of course, there are…
It may be difficult to stop doing work and take some time to relax. Once you do attempt to relax, you might find yourself scrolling ceaselessly through Twitter, Instagram or Pinterest. Then when you try to sleep, all you can think about is work, crossing off items on your to-do…
My father is a pseudo-vegetarian, though he does eat the occasional bird or fish. He’s recently gotten into animal-free, meat-like products — the man loves an Impossible Burger! — and I’ve been making his favourite food (spaghetti) with either ground turkey or some sort of meatless crumble instead of beef…
It’s been a slow burn, but the new Firefox Android browser has finally landed — in Europe, anyway. US users will have to wait until August 27 (or install the beta version) for access, but if the preview build is any indication, this new mobile browser is a much better…
With the exception of bacon, the most common breakfast sandwich ingredients — eggs, cheese, sausage and ham — are quite soft. One can add textural contrast by toasting the bread (or adding hash browns or bacon). Or you could do all of that, and also add crispy, golden onion rings.
Can you smell that? It smells like the arrival of summer is here, mixed with the scent of BBQ’d meats. Oh, how we’ve missed that smell. There’s nothing more Aussie than a good old fashioned BBQ out back with a beer and sausage sizzle in hand. From high-tech BBQ get-ups…
Of all the many ways to preserve summer tomatoes, slow-roasting them might be my favourite. If you can carve out enough time in your schedule to make a batch, you’ll be rewarded with sweet, juicy little nuggets of savoury tomato candy — they’re everything we love about peak-season tomatoes, concentrated…
