Nice cooking list!

One suggestion. You should remove the COVID resources.

It's probably a good list but people need a break. It's the only thing on the news at the moment and I'm starting to see it really wear people down.

What I'm getting at is, when I was in the Army in Iraq I heard a lot less news about being in a War and being in Iraq even though i was there, in that war. Everyone knew what the score was and didn't spend a ton of time obsessing on the small stuff that's out of control.

Your call. Nice site otherwise.

Other than that one page I don't plan on adding any more. So much in your face I agree about. But it feels almost irresponsible to not link some information at least acknowledging why we're in the situation?

j Kenji has been doing a great late night cooking series while he has been stuck at home.

I’m also stuck at home and busy working on a couple of new PD ebooks for Standard Ebooks (Compton Mackenzie’s Sinister Street, and a collection of Vladimir Korolenko short stories). Would be good if you could add it to the free books resource: https://standardebooks.org/

Thanks, added!

This is a good idea, but as soon as I saw the domain name, it prevents me from sending it to family and friends.

why?

In US culture, using "swear words" is still taboo for many people. (I'm not saying it's right or wrong).

In most of the world, swear words are considered unprofessional or rude.

From my own anecdotal experience, the ones that are very upset because of a few swear words at work are usually the most cunning,back stabbing, and dishonest people I've ever met.YMMV

Uh, I guess. I personally just find it distasteful and inappropriate. A bit like openly discussing the private particulars of your personal life.

What do you mean in US culture? Avoiding vulgar language isn't a phenomenon unique to US. If I was in France I wouldn't exactly be saying <putain de merde> around my family, if I was in India I wouldn't be saying <bhain chod, nai kaam karta>, etc.

The HN meme about "puritan America" is strong.

Ok, well, I'm not from France or India so I was only commenting about what I know.

US culture varies widely. My parents are fairly conservative so I probably wouldn't send it to them, but I'd happily send it to any of my friends and maybe even my coworkers

If the words weren’t taboo or offensive then they wouldn’t be swear words.

There reason he doesn’t say “Stuck at Darn home” isn’t because of the aesthetics of the sounds or because of any real difference in definition except to the extent that Darn doesn’t carry the social “baggage”, which is purely a function of it being taboo or offensive.

The use of curse words almost completely derives their value from that fact, even when uttered under your breath after hitting your finger with a hammer.

Sounds like a bunch of humbug to me.

Well, not everyone is okay with profanity, some people may be upset by it.

"Hi Grandma! Check this out..."

I was going to swear in an apology response but that's maybe not appropriate. Being stuck alone at home for weeks now isn't great. The name does capture how I feel about this, sorry if you can't share it with friends and family. I personally don't find generic swearing that big a problem but understand if you do.

You could consider getting stuckathome.com too (it's an obvious one to squat anyway) and doing anything except redirection (from that one to the current, anyway) to show the same content.

Or also not, it's yours and it's free, whatever. :)

Yeah I'm not monetizing anything at the moment, I just got bored and started collecting stuff. No intention of spending money on the better domain. I found this one available and it struck a chord with me, and here we are.

Not me but my families and friends do.

Don't share it.

Hey, I'd be willing to share my jumbo podcast list with you, if that is a resource you'd like on the site. I tend to not delete any podcast that piqued my interest initially. If it turns out not to be to my taste ultimately, I toss it into an "uninteresting" playlist. This way, I'm not reevaluating podcasts at some point in the future that I've already pushed aside. Right now, I'm at 400+ podcasts, with about 30% having graduated to a "follow this indefinitely" status.

We've been looking for a game online like cards against humanity. Thanks for finding one and sharing this!

I actually spent a bit last week looking for online CAH and was a bit overwhelmed - I somehow never knew that Cards Against Humanity was released under a Creative Commons license. Makes me want to buy all of the expansions even more, somehow.

EDIT: Just discovered that the CAH site linked by OP doesn’t work well on mobile, but found one that does: https://www.cardsagainsthumanity.online/

Oh! I hadn't seen the CC license. That's great.

I just saw the link on your edit! Going to give these two a try later today. Thanks

Here's another one. http://playingcards.io/game/remote-insensitivity

This site is also a good platform for card games in general

Where is the section exclusively dedicated to sourdough? Just kidding... nice resource, thanks for sharing it.

They should mention the AppleTv service. They've made some of their content free. I started watching "For All Mankind" this weekend, and it is excellent.

The service has horrible play delay and time to quality on my LG OLED, but once it starts streaming and ramps up, it looks great.

Nice lists. I made a game for playing Boggle with family that you're welcome to add to the list of games browser games to play with friends:

https://wordgame.paulbutler.org/

Nice simple game, but it's not multiplayer (online) as far as I can tell. I was more looking for games to play with friends while safety isolated from one another :)

It is designed to be used via screen-sharing on VC call (the instructions cover how). I have successfully played it with up to 6 people over Zoom :)

I'd add https://pandemicvolunteers.org to coronavirus resources. It could provide the best relief.

Interesting site, added a new header for volunteer and put a link.

And then decided to take it off I guess?

I'd add https://skribbl.io/ to the games list, it's basically pictionary.

Very nice, added!

Deserves a header description and/or About page. Without this HN post it's hard to tell what the relation is between the name and the content

Thanks for this! The "Chill EDM" playlist on Spotify page links to the same playlist as "Synthwave Sounds".

Thanks for this. If you wanted to add another section, podcasts might be a nice fit.

I'd like to find online chess with video chat is there such a thing?

Hey there. Chess is not ready yet, but we're working on it: https://www.cyberspaces.app/

I would share it with others if the URL was more friendly.

Like that Go (board game) was in there.

great but no workout list :(

I think this site should be text only.

On your browser, disable JS, images and stylesheets.

Why the foul language? Completely unnecessary.

Because people are annoyed when forced to stay home. The language reflects this.

I completely fucking agree.

Why do you speak with foul language? Do you not see how it’s unnecessary?

The foul mood of being isolated away for weeks :(

It's not a bad choice. It's hard to think of alternatives that are short and express the same thing.

Almost as unnecessary as tone policing someone on a website that isn't your own.

Let me guess: American?

The bog-standard Wordpress template is really at odds with the domain name. You'd expect a site with a name like this to have a distinct, punchy visual aesthetic, not some generic template.

I wish I had any design ability. But the template was free and it looks easy on the eyes to just deliver content.

It's a choice from the author. I understand that some might not like it but they can just skip it too. Same as with a technology you don't care about or an article riddled with buzz words.

Anyone asking themselves this, do you expect the answer from the author to be something different than 'because I wanted to'?

Its linkbait. Some people click more on a title with foul language.

Then don't read the link.

For what it's worth, I find this genre of tongue-clucking more unnecessary, negative, and distracting.

I was thinking of compiling a list of made in non-China items.

I'd be interested in such a list - I suspect it may be small, independent companies. Which is probably a good thing to support anyway. Also may help lower carbon footprint a little?

My comment is being downvoted but the reason is not some inherent anti-China motives. I have a hard time finding anything on Amazon that's not made in China. That's a horrible state of affairs and we need to diversify manufacturing.

May be there should be carbon footprint score against each item. The sad part is that consumers DO NOT CARE. They are like these mindless brains that see a slightly lower price and they hop on it. Vast majority of the people of the planet do not care whether its made in China or not. They will save $2 for selling their souls.
