The biggest highlight for many gamers is likely the NES adaptation of Pac-Man . Pac-Man was remade and released many times over the years for various consoles, including the Game Boy, but the NES version was the first time many gamers had the chance to play it at home (aside from the lucky households who had an Atari 2600 in the early 1980s)....

How Many Times Can You Reheat Leftovers Before It Gets Risky?

There’s a certain comfort in a fridge full of leftovers. Dinner is handled. Lunch is prepped. But somewhere around day three, comfort starts curdling into anxiety—and the mental math gets a little creative. If you reheat it now, does the clock reset? Does it buy another few days? The answer is no. And food safety experts are pretty tired of this particular myth. The logic behind the “reheat to reset” theory sounds reasonable enough on the surface: zap the food before bacteria get a foothold, and you’ll perpetually delay the problem. Convenient, tidy, and almost entirely wrong, according to the food safety specialists at SELF . At What Point Does Reheating Leftovers Become Risky? Here’s what’s actually happening. The real danger window for leftovers isn’t in the fridge—it’s the stretch between cooking and cooling, when food dips into what experts call the temperature “danger zone,” between 40 and 140 degrees Fahrenheit. “As heated food is cooling, any bacteria that gets into it are ...

5 Lies My OCD Keeps Trying to Sell Me (No Matter How Hard I Try to Ignore Them)

I don’t remember a single time in my life when I wasn’t plagued by OCD. While I was diagnosed at age 6, my symptoms began years prior. In my experience at the time, doctors and psychologists did not have as much of an understanding of this disorder. In fact, I was almost misdiagnosed with schizophrenia because of the nature of my intrusive thoughts.  One of my worst fears was about hurting the people in my life. We now understand this common form of OCD as “ Harm OCD ,” but back then, there wasn’t as much research into the disorder. So, my doctor mistook my childhood explanation of my intrusive thoughts at face value. She thought I was hearing voices that were convincing me to do things, not realizing that I was terrified by these thoughts. I didn’t want to act on them. I didn’t feel compelled to do so. In fact, I was actively performing “rituals” and compulsions to make sure I wouldn’t harm anyone. Needless to say, it took a few psychologists to finally get the proper diagnosis...
