According to Gizmodo, there’s a growing concern about scammers looking to take advantage of people trying to apply for the student debt forgiveness program. The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and President Biden have spoken out, warning borrowers to be vigilant about what information they share and with who. Student loan forgiveness scams are targeting people in sneaky ways: The FBI notes that cybercriminals may attempt to contact people applying for the loan to convince them to provide personal or financial information that could be used for scams or identity theft later....

The study aims to understand the link between unhealthy food and advertisements for sports sponsorships, as well as how those links could be having a bad influence on kids’ food choices. To complete the study, researchers chose the “ten sports organizations with the most 2– 17-year-old viewers of 2015 televised events.” They then measured sponsorship by calculating the number of instances in which the organization’s name or logo appeared “in ads promoting food and/or non-alcoholic beverage sponsorships” from 2006 to 2016....

Coronavirus originated in Wuhan, China, where the numbers say it’s already killed at least 106 people, and 4,515 more people are sick. CNN says that wearing face masks is mandatory in Wuhan, where the virus is having an epidemic. But the needed protocols there are not necessary here, half a world away in the United States. “Right now, there’s no evidence that [wearing face masks] is going to help prevent that infection,” says infectious disease expert Dr....

The study focused on 2,000 parents of school-aged children in order to examine the in’s and outs surrounding how families make the time to have conversations despite managing a frantic daily routine. This large disparity in terms of conversation could have to do with the fact that parents reported speaking to their kids way less than one would imagine. Around 40 percent of the respondents reported that a run of the mill conversation with their child usually doesn’t exceed 10-minutes....

Skill at playing cards is a gift that keeps on giving from playroom go fish to nursing home bridge, and the zenith of this lifelong hobby is the poker phase, when winning means taking cash off your buddies and losing means you just spent a few hours hanging out with your buddies. If you want to save your kid a spot at your weekly poker night sooner than later, teach them the way Phil Hellmuth taught his sons — they’re now 22 and 24-years-old, and they happily pass on free backstage passes to Nelly shows so they can join $110 buy-in tables (true story)....

Adults caught on to this ingenious grift of wearing a face mask, and painting on wrinkles, and putting on baggy sweaters and old lady wigs after some teens posted videos of them doing the heist on TikTok. However — likely because of the outsized attention to the hilarious prank — many of those videos have since been deleted or the accounts that posted them have gone private, probably because what they did is technically a crime, even if it is a hilarious one....

BMW, like all makers of EVs, is actually consolidating its shapes to be cleaner and leaner. Someday, we’ll get to battery breakthroughs that will make electric car “range anxiety” a thing of the past — but for now, the most urgent enemy of range is cruddy aerodynamics. So how do you maintain iconic lines while still cheating the wind? Sleek aerodynamic designs that turn heads as well as reducing wind resistance....

Still, we’re a bit bummed about the cereal market’s troubled times, especially because it means that brands are now far less eager to take risks on strange, unconventional variations. Over the years, there were countless strange cereals, whether for cross-marketing purposes (oh hey ET cereal) or simply to shake things up a bit (what’s up, Pop-Tarts Crunch), many of which never caught on enough to last that long. For the sake of some cereal nostalgia, are some of the most bizarre cereals that are no longer available....

Running isn’t always known as the weight loss workout, but if you’re wondering how to lose weight running, it’s genuinely not that hard. A running workout for weight loss needs short, hard bursts of cardio activity that shock your system into overdrive, followed by a brief recovery, repeated again and again. Known as HIIT (high-intensity interval training), this Tabata-type of workout will yield the biggest bang for your buck, according to exercise scientists....

In the Nora Ephron classic When Harry Met Sally, Meg Ryan makes this point explicitly when she bemoans, “I’m going to be 40!” Billy Crystal points out that she won’t turn 40 for eight years, but it’s made hilariously clear: Turning 40 is a death sentence. From The 40-Year-Old Virgin to the depressing machinations of Judd Apatow’s This Is 40, Hollywood movies reinforce one stereotype over and over again: If you’re over 40, you’re not having hot and heavy movie sex....

Rest assured, active recovery exercises are nowhere near as intense as your standard sweat session, and you may even be doing them already without realizing it. With an active recovery workout, you get the mood-lifting benefits of exercising without overdoing it — preventing injury and leading to quicker gains when you’re ready to really sweat. Here’s what an active recovery workout looks like, why it’s important, and how to start adding it into your routine....

There are a few things to keep in mind when choosing a baby activity center. Make sure it’s stable and won’t tip over, ever, especially if you have a very active child. Opt for activity centers with removable toys that you can rotate out to keep your child engaged. You’ll thank yourself later for choosing an activity center with a seat that’s easy to clean and small enough to not take over your whole living room....

Before you invest in a blender, or reach for a Ninja or Vitamix, assess what you’ll be using it for most often. The best blenders aren’t cheap, and the level of your investment should depend on what you plan to use it for. You don’t need separate soup and smoothie blenders, but there are variations to consider. If you don’t have much storage or counter space, consider an immersion blender, which is basically a portable motor that gets stuck into a pot of soup or glass of fruit....

My 3-year-old daughter is the same. She laughs because I laugh and because it’s fun watching Sylvester get obliterated in various ways. Sure, vintage Looney Tunes are a total minefield for inappropriate violence, name-calling, and actual claymores, but there are days — days that are starting to outnumber the other days — when I’d much prefer co-watch Sylvester get blown to bits or smacked in the face with a two-by-four than be taught a lesson about sharing by Daniel Tiger....

Subscription kits are an easier way to start a skin care routine than diving into that rabbit hole of a lotion aisle at the pharmacy. Because kits show up every few weeks, they simplify things, which leads in turn to better consistency — the key to any successful regimen. These kits are designed to be as fussy as you want to get, from a basic three-bottle morning routine to larger sets that will fill a medicine cabinet shelf (and a good chunk of your morning)....

Nearly a century later, an entrepreneur revived the brand and gave us the Bowlus Road Chief Endless Highways, a luxury aluminum trailer with a slew of premium features aimed at younger road warriors. And, man is it purty. The trailer is 26-feet-long, large enough for four people to dine and sleep. It contains a galley kitchen with stainless steel appliances, two sofas that can convert to twin beds, a dining room table with built-in laptop charging, a teak shower, and a bedroom that can be arranged as either a true king or dual twins beds....

I am grateful for this pair of underwear, the likes of which I have spent a lifetime seeking. My quest began with a wardrobe malfunction, years before Janet Jackson’s more famous Super Bowl mishap. White cotton briefs, my mother’s choice, were my default underwear as a kid. Yes, the dreaded tighty whities. My dad wore boxers, of which I was envious. Without a doubt, fathers should step up and choose their sons’ underwear, as they should step up to make circumcision decisions for their sons, who are too young to speak for themselves....
