This is the best thing ever!!! My daughter LOVED getting free books each month! We then re-gift the books to schools in Oakland and overseas literacy programs.

As another commenter said there has to be a local person/business to sponsor it, it's a bit like a franchise so depends on somebody in that particular area.

    Photopea

    Photopea

    Photopea. It's a Photoshop clone that is completely free (unintrusive side banner ad, can be removed by a one time payment) and has all the basic features of Photoshop, using basically the same interface. If you're used to Photoshop and just need to get something quick done, there's nothing better out there. Best of all, it's completely contained within your browser. There's no installation, no local files, not even an account or sign in.

    Skiplagged

    Skiplagged

    Skiplagged for flights. It’s so good that United sued them and lost.

    They essentially exploit the pricing manipulation that airlines use. Example, if you want to go from Phoenix to Atlanta, sometimes a ticket from Phoenix to Ft. Lauderdale connecting through Atlanta is cheaper. This website finds those flights for ya. Just don’t check in a bag!

    I used to do this years ago but not through a website. I went to Phoenix a lot and I'd book a flight to California that stopped in Phoenix because it was cheaper. I'd just get off the plane in Phoenix. This required two one-way tickets and no checked bags.

    Sounds cool but just a question, maybe I’m misunderstanding something? If you want to go to Atlanta why would you choose a flight to Ft. Lauderdale? Wouldn’t the connection only get you like an hour in Atlanta?

    Johnny
    Community Member
    4 years ago Created by potrace 1.15, written by Peter Selinger 2001-2017

    If you want to go to Atlanta and your plane stops in Atlanta, you can get off the plan there. But there are some drawbacks, like a weather diversion can reroute your plane to skip Atlanta, or a mechanical problem may force the airline to rebook you on another flight that doesn't go through Atlant. And if you book a round trip, the airline could cancel your return leg when you don't show up for the Atlanta->Ft Lauderdale segment (I bet skiplagged books 2 one ways instead of a round trip). Airlines also say they can cancel your frequent flyer program, and some airlines have even sued passengers who do this.

    I've used this in the U.K. both to give things away and get things other people were giving away. It's great that things don't go to waste which is better for the planet and better for those not having to spend money on things they can't afford, or don't have. The only downside for me is that people near here seem to be looking for expensive items or are super specific about what they are looking for... it's makes people look greedy a lot of the time.

    Unsplash is fantastic, I use it for my website all the time (they are paired with Squarespace). Images are modern, interesting, professional and all they cost is a (voluntary) accreditation to the photographer if you're going to be using it publicly - unless you're using the image to represent a specific product you're selling in which case that's a whole different licensing rabbit hole which applies to all stock images

    Duolingo

    Duolingo I have been using this for quick Spanish lessons with my morning coffee for a couple years now. It doesn't override the need to take classes for college credits, but I recently had to take a course and it was a breeze. There are a few hundred languages that it teaches and the mobile app makes it easy to do anywhere while waiting.

    **warning** only good for spanish, german, french, dutch, esperanto, and english. with anything else it gets very low-quality and short. (also it really doesn't outright teach you grammar or stuff for the lesser-travelled languages)

    If you're trying to learn a langauge I don't recommend any classes. Half the people take them for YEARS, wasting hundreds of dollars, and barely make it past the basics. Hinative is pretty useful for that. You can ask native speakers questions and ask them to create sentences for you- really useful, if you ask me

    Duolingo is excellent for Latin. The trick is you have to study hard in a disciplined manner to learn any language. You will learn if: You spend AT LEAST 1/2 hour learning EVERY SINGLE DAY You repeat each sentence aloud, write them down in a notebook or online document, then review them regularly You use the word bank rather than the keyboard to answer questions so that you avoid typos that cause frustration and slow you down Duolingo is your learning coach; you are your own teacher.

    1aauto. It is a car parts supplier, but their videos show exactly what tools you need, what parts you need, and how to do a repair yourself. Great money saver if you don’t know much about mechanics. Someone I knew was going to get screwed by their mechanic (700 bucks for a water pump replacement). Showed them that, they did it themselves for 30 bucks. It makes it quicker too, knowing what tools you need ahead of time for your particular car.

(For iOS I use “Sputnik!” which is free and tells me the ISS and Hubble passes overhead.)

    Top Class Actions

    Top Class Actions basically a site that lists active class action lawsuits you might qualify for. I've used it for trivial things like suing red bull for a free case because it "didn't give me wings" but on a serious note. It made me aware of the suit against Equifax for leaking my data. That should be a settlement worth over a $100. It's a cool way to hold corporations semi accountable, and score some money/freebies for any wrongdoing that went under the radar.

    In the US if a company has broken the law, has not protected its customers ( like the data breach) or has a product that does not meet standards a class action lawsuit will be filed. I’m this type of suit anyone that has been effected by the company can sign up to be part of the suit so long as they provide supporting documentation. I’m most familiar with providing proof of purchase for a product. Once a settlement or ruling is set you will receive a portion of the money the company was forced to pay out. The larger the number of people in the class the smaller your payout.

    During the Bush2.0 admin, they reformed the filing system aand when the bill was going through congress the tax filing and tax software companies (see link below for the full story) lobbied intensively, and a compromise was reached. Some tax software companies offer a free basic filing service as part of the agreement with Congress with certain caveats. To find them you need to dig through the irs site but there are around 15-20 options. It's such a scam though because it's Congress catering to business instead of the people. In many northern European countries you can file your taxes by sms (text). But Americans are the mostest free-est people in the world - nay universe- so I guess it's worth it. https://www.propublica.org/article/inside-turbotax-20-year-fight-to-stop-americans-from-filing-their-taxes-for-free

    sometimes yes. But it depends on how much you make, if you go to a CPA, etc.

    So... In the UK your tax is all done for you by the government. If they take too much, you get a nice letter saying as much and nice rebate. Too little and they spread out the repayment over several months so as not to disrupt your financial situation.

    I didn't downvote you, but just so you know, Intuit 1) is a terrible terrible company and 2) will sometimes let you fill out your return but not let you file it without payment (I think it depends on how much you earn, how many returns are in your family, or something). There are alternate free programs which are trustworthy, just as simple as TurboTax, and still hook into CRA. I only switched from TurboTax recently so I've only tried one, but I used WealthSimple this last time and I was quite happy with it.

    Most tax filing services like TurboTax offer free filing for federal taxes on the EZ form. Credit Karma has a free program for 1040 filing, but it's really best for if your taxes aren't too complicated.

    Listing Blender as a video editor and animation tool is leaving out a lot of functionality. "Blender is the free and open source 3D creation suite. It supports the entirety of the 3D pipeline—modeling, rigging, animation, simulation, rendering, compositing and motion tracking, video editing and 2D animation pipeline."
