Liz, How to glue things together
meyotch, somafm.com
A good selection of internet radio stations that has been around for many many years
makyo, Good opportunity to specifically recommend radioparadise.com - been supporting them for a very, very long time.
DuncanIdaho, I’ve you use any music tech, or recording software, you can work out subdivisions with this online calculator: tomhess.net/Tools/DelayCalculator.aspx
PsychedSy, Erowid.org
Jeremyward,
PsychedSy, I’m insanely confused.
HoustonHenry, Maybe they started on Erowid, took some stuff, and ended up there?
PsychedSy, Maybe. Fair.
lingh0e, You can’t mention Erowid without mentioning similar organizations like Dancesafe, MAPS and Bluelight. I’m not being hyperbolic when I say that I am only here today because of those sites. I am literally where I am today because of my time on Bluelight.
PsychedSy, I’m in my 40’s. Erowid has been with me since I was a teen. I don’t really know about the rest, but ty.
zonkerdonker, (edited ) For all my fellow mechanical engineers out there, Custom Parts is an incredible tool for estimating tooling and production costs for injection molding, die casting, stamping, you name it. For runs all the way from 50 parts to 2 million I’ve found the estimates there to be consistently within 10% of the quotes we’ve gotten from suppliers
Edit: Corrected link, that’s what I get for going off memory lol
numanair, Do you mean www.custompartnet.com ?
zonkerdonker, I did indeed haha. Thanks
hungryphrog, This site lets you identify flags by color, shape, charges etc.
GeoGio7, Jesus Christ that’s a lot of ads
hungryphrog, Does it have a lot of them? I have a blocker so I didn’t know.
GeoGio7, Opening it through an app with no blocker, yeah it’s a lot and very obtrusive too
iCy619, I use Blokada on my phone. Works out pretty well for me, and they may service more than mobile devices.
h3rm17, Adaway if you dont like the turn they took with blokada 4 or 5, cant remember
Bruncvik, Radio Garden - Listen to hundreds of radios around the globe (with a pretty interface to find your favorite radio station). Having lived in several countries, I have a list of radio stations I grew to like, and now I can have easy access to all of them.
return2ozma, Free Media Heck Yeah. The largest collection of Free stuff on the Internet
Tum, This is amazing. I am in love with this site already. Thanks for sharing!
return2ozma, No problem! So many resources on that site.
FlyingSquid, Figures out what the font is from an uploaded image. I’ve used it multiple times.
Deebster, I always use whatthefont.com although mostly cos the name’s funny which makes it easy to remember. Any idea which is better?
dangblingus, There’s also WhatFont add on/browser extension that lets you highlight text on a website and it’ll tell you what font it is!
thelsim, No idea if this is obscure or not, but for creating diagrams I’ve found draw.io a very useful free website/tool (there’s an offline version).
The ability to hide the entire model inside the png is really neat. You can upload the png in a wiki and later on just import it to alter it again.
wewbull, Excalidraw is my favourite. Make diagrams look like sketches so that people don’t take them too seriously.
thelsim, That looks quite interesting. Draw.io has a sketch option but they always look the same. This one really makes unique shapes every time create an object. Could be quite handy for quick throwaway designs. Thank you for the recommendation.
dirtySourdough, I’m gonna try this one today, thanks!

Twoafros, Tried neal.fun based on your recommendation and its been keeping me amazed all day!! Thank you!
pomodoro_longbreak, Wow yeah, I lost a lot of time there. Hard to shake off!
jmsy, Holy shit. In 5 minutes of using Kagi, it’s so nice. Thanks
Leyla, Neal.fun is neat. Something that I was looking for. Thank you
Twoafros, I thought *Ffmpeg * meant something else
funktion, That M is doing a lot of heavy lifting in this scenario
philpo, Depending on the size of the peg it might not be a good idea to heavy lift for a while.
fernandu00, Good Lord I’ve used ffmpeg for years to convert my videos and just realized today it’s name could be a naughty search word in adult sites
Veneroso,
pacjo, Sharedrop seems a bit dead. Consider pairdrop.net as an alternative.

MaxVoltage, always and still good jeez i need to order 10 year magazine subscription lol
chemical_cutthroat, I don’t get it. It’s just pictures of helicopters.
hungryphrog, What kind of helicopters? And yes, this is a genuine question.
NotLars, Noclip.website isn’t all that useful, but insanely cool. Allows you to fly around maps of n64, GameCube and Wii games in 3d, rendered in your browser
