I was going to let the whole Chrissy Teigen/Emotional Support Casserole story skate by without comment, but it made me think about how foods are classified by the TSA and why certain foods can get through while others are rejected and destined for the trash can. I went on a research mission and came back with…
Internet, prepare to be rocked. A user on Reddit just posted an amazing LPT (Life Pro Tip) for getting free wi-fi on your next flight. We’ll let the Redditor, dollinsdv, share the good news: I accidently discovered this little trick while flying yesterday and I’m almost hesitant to share it for fear that the airline…

You turn on the TV and start scrolling through the 12 channels wondering if you’ve suddenly time-warped back to 1987. Surely there’s a way around this, right? Well, of course there is. You could pretend…
If you’ve been using the Genius In-N-Out Trick to snag free rides from LAX to the In-N-Out via the Parking Spot shuttle, then the world is now a different place. A couple of weeks ago, I reported that the Parking Spot was sending out letters to its customers that they would now have to provide…
