Was looking at my "favorites" and thought I should share some I found useful. And could benefit from learning ones others employed.
http://www.onlineconversion.com/
Just great for navigating through all the crazy units the world uses.

No calculus? No problem!
Site lets you compare three equations with whatever variables. Wonderful for musing out equations.

Right at least half the time!
Siri on my iPhone gives quick conversions. For example, I just asked how many dashes in 1 fluid ounce. Answer: 48.
That’s useful.

We have a lot of quakes in Oklahoma !!
Come on. Share those sites.
They may be specialized- so? Some Freeper may need that speciality one day.
Many useful electronics calculators: https://www.allaboutcircuits.com/tools/
Free Republic, by far.
My college site, because I have to.
And generally my horse-racing sites, mostly
used together alot.
Used to frequent racing forum
http://www.thoroughbredchampions.com/forum/
but not nearly as I used to, since my sister died I kind of petered out looking at anything outside FR, and when I went back, they changed the format and are allowing alot more low-class behavior and language, which gets on my nerves. (And some of these people I “knew” as I met them at real racing venues.)
Otherwise outside Facebook and Amazon I don’t look at too much. Oh, actually I love YouTube, sometimes just to have music to listen to while doing my pedigrees! :)
Yeah, Etsy was a Godsend especially after eBay went all-PayPal and no-checks.
I remember that site, thanks!
http://www.repairfaq.org/ is still up. Great for info on just about any practical technical matter.
The best-known is probably Dan Bongino. It also includes people like Styx, "JF", Barbara, Molyneux, and Lauren Southern. People who are into this will recognize these names.
When I'm done in a few days, I'll post a copy permanently on the home page of my FR account in case others are interested. This is involving enough research and double-checking that it may (IMO) be worth posting an FR thread to announce it.
Instead of trying to come up with a political adjective to describe these characters, I'm simply saying that they are "generally opposed to socialism, open borders and jihad."
That’s a very worthwhile endeavor.
Like many geezers I prefer text, but media is ‘the thing’ on the internet now. People will appreciate your info.
Reference, Facts, News - Free and Family-friendly Resources -
Very large index type site.
I use Facebook a lot. Everything I post is public. I am careful not to share anything personal or otherwise inappropriate.
You can make it into a useful news site by choosing conservative friends and blocking anyone is too obnoxious. When I first joined, other freepers suggested friends, and once I had them as friends, I searched their friends lists for more people that I would probably enjoy. I now have some strangers whose posts I liked, also. You can have some interesting discussions.
Most of the people are not as well informed as freepers, or as smart. There’s nothing like FR. I sometimes send entire threads to others when the discussion really gets rolling.
“Can do, can do ...
You know the jockey’s brother is a friend of mine
But just a minute, boys, I got the feedback’s choice,
It says the great grandfather was Aqua Poise.
I give you Paul Revere, and it’s no bum steer
It’s from a man right here that’s real sincere...”
“Fugue For Tinhorns”
Internet betting’s gonna be legal now isn’t it?
Many of the alt-media people do not have any text blogs or transcripts—especially if they do spur-of-the-moment talks or interview guests. But some do have conventional blogs; and I plan to eventually add a fourth column to the table with links to such things. I might eventually add some personalities who only do conventional blogs. This would be like the center column on Drudge; but with a lot of names that are not household words. I follow a lot of European stuff that would be new to most FReepers.
YouTube dog or baby elephant videos
