Handstands are hard, but I’m making progress. Since our focus this month is just getting upside-down in whatever manner you like, I thought I should try some yoga inversions, too. I did my first headstand today!

Video: Whether or not you believe in the supernatural, it’s fun to get your fortune read — or to read someone else’s. In this video Arthur Lipp-Bonewits, a professional tarot reader who began when he was 12, tells you how to practise reading the deck.

There are some things that will never be replaced by an app and a sturdy, hand-cranked can opener is one of them. Unfortunately, we're all too busy learning to code or whatever to practice our domestic skills and no one knows how to use them.

Does it seem as though your cat is ignoring you? Do they not come when called? Your cat might be a jerk. Or they might just not recognise their own name.

Video: “For my birthday I got a humidifier and a de-humidifier,” comedian Steven Wright used to say. “I put them in the same room and let them fight it out.”

Video: Freezing unused whipped cream is a great way to store it for later use, but it also allows you to cut it into adorable, fun shapes - perfect for topping warm, rich mugs of cocoa.

Hello, and welcome to a very special edition of Will It Sous Vide?, the column where I usually make whatever you want me to with my immersion circulator. Not only are we finally cooking a long-requested dish — porchetta di testa — but we have video.

Why do people in happy relationships sometimes wind up cheating? According to relationship expert Esther Perel, the answer lies in self-exploration and has very little to do with the partner who is being cheated on.

If you're one of those people who buys a brand-new TV, spends hours straining your back trying to place it in your home entertainment centre (or affix it to your wall) and starts watching your favourite show to celebrate... you missed a crucial step. Your television, new or old, comes with a bunch of settings that are worth exploring to get the best picture quality — or, at least, a picture you're pleased with.

Your shower pipes are not like your computer — they're not supposed to be out of date and barely working within a few years. Completely replacing the plumbing system isn't something any homeowner wants to do and if you treat yours right, you shouldn't have to.

Dear Lifehacker, I've heard cow's milk is actually bad for you, or at least not beneficial when compared to the many alternative options. But if I shouldn't drink milk, what's the best alternative? Are any of them good? I've heard good and bad things about most, so how do I decide?

Overtoun Bridge in West Dunbartonshire, Scotland was built in 1895 for ease of access to Overtoun house.

Video: Mozart wrote a party song called “Kiss My Arse”. The filthy lyrics (“kiss my arse, quickly, quickly”) weren’t discovered until 1991. This is the stuff you’d learn if The A.V. Club was doing interviews in the 1700s. And it’s another great way to appreciate classical music. Just like pop music, the music is more fun if you learn the story behind it. In this video we tell you how.

Getting to know the ins and outs of photography doesn't have to dry or boring. All you need is the right stimuli — say, Star Wars LEGO — and before you know it, you'll be a Jedi camera master.

There's something so exquisite about a slowed-down, moody cover of an upbeat song you know by heart (see: Antony and the Johnsons covering Beyoncé's "Crazy in Love").

Video: Forget fancy toys. If you have kids, keep them busy with painter’s tape. Yes, painter’s tape. Here, we show you how the versatile item can provide endless family entertainment — children can design roads for toy cars, create a game of hopscotch, or make a hallway spiderweb. For parents, the best part is that it’s all temporary.
