https://openstaxcollege.org/students is an awesome website that lets you view or download Creative Commons licensed college text books. It is completely free and legal, and is actually partially funded by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.

http://asoftmurmur.com lets you adjust the levels of different sounds (rain, thunder, fire, etc.) to make the perfect ambiance.

https://codeclippet.com is a great alternative to Pastebin, it has a focus on organizing useful bits of code snippets (Public or Private), lets you have notes on the side and uses a folder/ file structure. It also has a focus on the community with the idea of sharing useful bits of working code. You could even use it for just storing notes as well...

http://darebee.com (formerly neilarey.com) is a fitness and overall healthiness website that is completely ad and product-placement free. It provides you with visuals of workouts, free meal guides, and even with easy recipes.

http://tabletopaudio.com was created by a musical composer who creates 10 minute songs and ambiances originally for table top RPGs. However they are great to set a mood, get creatively inspired, or just chill to. And all the tracks are free to download!

https://www.citethisforme.com is probably the easiest way to cite books, websites, newspapers, etc. Just type in the name of the work and it does the rest. There is a premium version but I have only used the free version. I only wish I had this when I was in highschool.

https://alternativeto.net lets you find alternative software to any program. Just type in the name and find alternatives.

https://duolingo.com is an excellent website for learning new languages. It is very intuitive and easy. You can make a profile to save your progress for free.

https://librivox.org lets you stream or download thousands of free public domain audio books, read by a community of volunteers. Since they are read by volunteers some aren’t the best but there are tons of excellent readers.

https://archive.org is for everything public domain; books, movies; TV shows, music, games. If it's public domain, it's here.

http://gutenberg.org has thousands of free e-books free to read or download in many different formats (e-pub, HTML, kindle, etc.)

http://flixfindr.com lets you to browse through a never ending scroll of movies from all of your subscription services (Amzon, Netflix, Hulu, Xfinity, HBO GO) simultaneously. <-- Sadly this only shows movies and not TV series -->

https://www.codecademy.com/ A great place to learn to code with a range of different technologies and allows you to test your skills by following a tutorial which gets you to create small but useful programs, great for competitive people as well!

http://mailinator.com/
Signing up for a site but don't want to give them you're email without getting spammed? Mailinator gives you a disposable email meaning that it's deleted a few hours after it's closed.

http://ninite.com/ Ninite puts a package of software you choose into one and installs it all for you.

http://colorschemedesigner.com/ If you're designing a web page or anything that you'd like to have colour this tool is great. Select the colour you would like primarily and it'll find colours that go with it.

Can vouch for alternativeto. Used it constantly when doing software requests at my last job and saved the company a lot of money

My entire physics course is openstax. It's nice to not pay for books but you get what you pay for. Some of the info is incorrect in the book

Lingq is better for learning languages, I've found, as long as you're willing to pay a bit.

Personally I suggest Memrise over Duolingo. I just seem to do better with it.

I'd always suggest hastebin.com over pastebin for quick code snippet sharing.

Those textbooks seem low level. Topics in those physics books were finished first semester for me in college. I can kinda use the chem book.

When my brother gave me a tablet, OpenStax, Internet Archive, and Project Gutenberg were my first stops. Got about 200 books on it now.

Was excited at codeclippet, until main site actually says “you must of”...and I’d be lying if I didn’t take great and immediate offense...

Aw man that was just terrible. They seriously need someone to proofread that whole page.

8 years ago | Likes 5 Dislikes 1

Really? I thought it was good, useful as I like to keep loads of tabs with code open, i just popped them in code clippet :D

8 years ago | Likes 7 Dislikes 1

It was probably exactly what I was looking for. But “must of”? On the main page? I’m a man of exquisite passion and strict priciple. :/

A Soft Murmur is great. I like to dial up some fire, crickets, wind, and waves. Then just zone out.

Max rain, half thunder. It's like being rocked to sleep by a storm god.

I used to put on rain and fireplace and play this game on my laptop called “A Dark Room”. Would put me to sleep in minutes

Due to my rather vivid auditory synesthesia, apps like A Soft Murmur and RainyMood are essential in getting good sleep.

Crickets, coffee shop, wind. Reminds me of when I was a kid at Church Camp having a blast.

Maxed out rain, one quarter thunder, and just a dash of TV static. Great for drowning out noises around you or just relaxing to.
