Even though we do not recommend flushing these wipes, our curiosity got the best of us, because, let’s face it, people flush them: Amézquita also ran each wipe through our lab’s toilets and pipes to see which passed through with the most ease. He then repeated that same test with toilet paper and wipes labeled…
When I use a new bar soap, I have a few nonnegotiables: It must not be overpoweringly scented, too drying, or leave residue on my skin. I also have to feel clean after I finish my shower because, really, that’s the whole point. Though I use a SoapStandle to elevate my bar soap, if the…

It’s the F&I manager’s job at a car dealership to finalize the transaction and, in doing so, upsell you on extras…

They cooled iodopyridine, an organic molecule consisting of 11 atoms, almost to absolute zero and hammered it with a laser pulse to break its atomic bonds. The team found that the motions of the…
Other Samsung Phones to Consider If you don’t see a Samsung phone mentioned in this guide, that might be because it’s not sold in the US and is a little harder to source for testing. But here are a few other Samsung phones I’ve tested to consider. Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge. Photograph: Julian Chokkattu Samsung…
In most cars, the low-fuel light generally comes on when you have less than 50 miles of fuel range left. What you need to remember is that even though technology keeps improving, it’s still always better to err on the side of caution when it comes to how much fuel you keep in your tank….
New Fitness Features Courtesy of Apple There are many reasons to wear an Apple Watch besides the health features. Maybe you just want quick access to your text, calendars, or Siri. Maybe you want to keep track of your kid or make sure your elderly mom doesn’t fall down. Still, I have been following the…
