Screenshot: Marvel’s Hit-Monkey/Hulu I guess Disney is putting most of its effort into its other streaming service this November; over on the other side of the subscription bundle, the pickings are a bit slim. Not to let Disney+ hog all the Marvel glory, Hulu will get to showcase the first season of Marvel’s Hit-Monkey (Nov. 17), a visually unimpressive new animated series skewing toward the same adult MCU audience as this year’s earlier, critically well-received, but similarly ugly M.O.D.O.K. If the trailer makes you laugh, […]

Photo: ANGELA WEISS / Contributor (Getty Images) Remember holiday season 2020? We argued that the safest move was to have Thanksgiving at home and postpone big Christmas gatherings to next year, when we would hopefully all have vaccines. (The first COVID vaccines were authorized in December, if you’ll recall.) This year, things are different, but we’re not out of the woods yet. The CDC has updated their holiday celebrations page just in time to plan those seasonal get-togethers. Here are their tips, which correspond pretty […]

Screenshot: Hawkeye/Disney+ There’s plenty to disagree about when it comes to the Marvel Cinematic Universe—I’m a Thor and Doctor Strange apologist myself—but until recently, it seemed like all of fandom could heartily agree on one thing: Hawkeye sucks, and is definitely the worst Avenger. But then Disney had to go and ruin it with the trailer for Hawkeye , the next Disney+ MCU spinoff, the first episode of which drops on Nov. 24. Yes, Earth’s mopiest hero (Jeremy Renner, of the Jeremy Renner App fame […]

If your pet gets lost, and then found—and the finder thinks to have the animal scanned for a chip—you will be identified and thus happily reunited with your buddy. However, in addition to the fact that you may not like the idea of implanting a foreign object into an animal, microchips also can’t actually track them if the pet gets lost. GPS […]

Remodeling my RV’s living room to incorporate “Theater seating” with a 47″ TV as the center piece. As part of that I need to prevent cables from snaking across the floor to audio amplification equipment so I thought using this 3 in 1 USB Bluetooth Audio Transmitter/receiver would be the way to go. Since it’s all modern and whatnot. Not to mention it’s in a nice small package so it is non-intrusive. And the devices work great to transmit the TV’s audio to the receiver […]

We’re well-versed in the importance of hand-washing , and if you’ve ever been a greasy, hormonal teenager, you know why your face and hair need to be cleaned regularly. But the internet has had paroxysms of outrage at the question of washing a certain, oft-overlooked body part: our feet. When former news anchor Katie Olmsted asked her followers on Twitter whether […]

Image: Apple The iPhone takes very natural-looking photos. It doesn’t do a lot of color correction, it doesn’t saturate colors, and it doesn’t increase the contrast by default just to make an image pop. What I’m saying is, the iPhone camera is, by default, a bit basic. Don’t get me wrong: the iPhone camera is good—great even—at capturing what’s in front of you. But the resulting photos might seem a little underwhelming when compared to the same shot if taken by a Samsung or Pixel […]

SAN MARCOS — Jay Adams spent 15 years teaching English in South Korea before coming back to San Marcos last November. He came back with the intention of getting a copy of his degree from Texas State University so that he could go on to teach English in Cambodia. But the 67-year-old said that plan never came to fruition because it was too expensive for his $800 monthly retirement income to handle. Adams, who was born in Galveston, said the little money he earns is […]

Forced into RV living four years ago, Benjamin and Lynn Krasowski are working and taking classes to give their young son a better life. PORTLAND, Ore. — Most haven’t experienced what Benjamin and Lynn Krasowski are going through. The couple has lived in an RV for the past four years, since their son William was 4 months old. “People don’t care about our story. They see the RV and assume they know the story,” said Benjamin Krasowski. They lost their apartment four years ago when […]

Photo: Mary Swift (Shutterstock) It’s usually pretty easy to spot a dog with the zoomies, as they run around at full speed, bouncing off walls or furniture in their own version of parkour, with a wide-eyed expression on their face. While “zoomies” may be the most accurate description of the intense burst of energy you just witnessed, the technical term for them is Frenetic Random Activity Periods (FRAPS) . But what should you do if your dog is suddenly darting across the yard, or running […]

You need the right tool to groom your dog…and a lot of patience. Photo: Alla Pogrebnaya (Shutterstock) When your dog gets a little stinky, shaggy, or long in the nail, you know it’s time to groom them…but it can be hard to find the money or time to bring them to a professional. The semi-good news: Unless the fur situation is wildly out of control, you can do some maintenance grooming all by yourself. The semi-bad news: It’s not highly recommended. Here’s what to consider […]

Photo: nimito (Shutterstock) After you have a baby, you may be expecting to bond with all the other new parents you meet and parks, playgroups, and sing-alongs—but while those folks are certainly easy to meet, it’s surprisingly hard to keep those relationships going. I’m not talking about when kids are school-aged, playing on sports teams, and you’ve got a ready-made community within which to network. I’m talking about when they’re babies or toddlers and their community is you . (And maybe Daniel Tiger). Opportunities to […]

Graphic: Lifehacker, Photo: Claire Lower I love cooking. I love eating. I love eating what I have cooked. I do not, however, like decorating my food. Don’t get me wrong, I love a theme, and am always delighted by playful seasonal fare, but I am severely lacking in artistic skills. I am also quite lazy, and easily frustrated by detailed work. So while other food publications pump out slideshows and roundups of delightfully spooky Halloween treats, I have no choice but to watch with envy. […]

Photo: Evgeny Atamanenko (Shutterstock) Spooky season has arrived, and we are here for it. But one thing that weighs on my mind every Halloween—every holiday, really—is the amount of waste it creates. One UK study revealed that more than 2,000 tons of waste are generated yearly from the costumes alone . How can we have all the fun, all the high-spirited spoookiness and treats without creating excessive waste? With that in mind, we rounded up these ideas to have a more sustainable Halloween and reduce […]

Photo: iravgustin (Shutterstock) Do you struggle to express yourself with words? Consider turning to the one universal language we all share: emo playlists. I believe we, as a society , waste time trying to show off “aesthetic” music tastes. Instead, we should spend more time creating emotionally-charged, hyper-specific playlists. What’s more, we need to overcome fears of looking corny and start making these playlists with our friends, families, lovers, enemies, and any other special someone who knows how to use the collaboration feature on Spotify.

This post is a continuation of my hike back in March. Life has since made a bit of a turn, so it has taken me a while to “get back to it”. Missing Hiker Returns If necessity is the mother of invention, then Murphy and his infernal laws are the father of well-laid hiking plans. Day two on the Pinhoti started before sunrise. My tent sat pitched along a creek around mile 12 NOBO, and I sat within it, one door open to the sun. […]
