New title: 16yo watched ALL the Ian Hubert tutorials
But who can blame them? Ian's tutorials are some of the most entertaining videos out there, especially his lazy tutorial series: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JjnyapZ_P-g

Assuming you mean "free" as in "I don't need to provide a credit card to sign up", then https://ghostfol.io/
If on the off chance you mean "free" as in "freedom from having my data sold", then You Need a Budget (YNAB) is a popular option. But be warned, YNAB is more than software...it's a new way of thinking about budgeting. It takes some getting used to.

All the art and sound assets are loaded from a local copy of C&C that the user must purchase on their own before running OpenRA (specifically the "C&C Remastered Collection" on Steam or Origin). OpenRA uses the assets from that local install, so it's all legal! Stratagus does the same thing with Warcraft assets.

I remember my earliest LAN game was the first Warcraft RTS, mainly because slower school computers could still run it and it allowed for "spawn installs". I got to experience real LAN gaming later in the 90s because I traveled to Europe. Sure, my friends in the US would play Tribes, Descent, and Quake, but we never had a room full of powerful enough computers to play it on a LAN.
When I got back to the states, I was hooked. I built my first PC (a Pentium III with an ATI RAGE 128, I believe). I must have been 14. A few years later, I made a video* about the LAN parties. It's a good time capsule of the experience.

Interesting angle. Any resources to back up that claim?
Feels so dirty, like free health screenings for employees, when the real purpose is to built an insurance risk profile for a geographic area.

Ralphs and Vons in California have been doing the charity ask for years. I always assumed it was their way of bragging later "how much they gave back to the community" while conveniently forgetting to mention those funds came from customer donations. I hate it, too.

Ordered, and excited to try! That free shipping offer got me to go back and add an item, so kudos. Once I taste the product, I might just submit a pav bhaji recipe.
Can't comment on pricing until I taste and get a sense of quantity. Certainly reasonable enough to let me try.
Some feedback on the site: - Love the pastel colors and packaging design. Very clean, with excellent photos. Any concern about appearing too feminine for your target customer? - I feel like the "Details" should already be open when I go to a product page. I ended up having to twirl it open each time I visited a page. Also annoying that the Drift pop-up covered up those details every time! - I got confused about bundles, quantities, and meal counts, and just ended up ordering enough to get free shipping. Maybe that's the intent? - Loved the "How to Eat" section. Helped me decide what to buy, but once again, it was hidden. - I would suggest left aligning your text on product descriptions. Centered text is harder to read, especially with the bulleted lists. - I want more imagery of the food! Photos of the ingredients! Videos of the cooking process! "How to Eat" as a video or photo series, instead of text!

What is your experience with in-browser, project-based sites, like code academy, code school, and code avengers?

“Success is 10% inspiration and 90% perspiration.”
- Thomas Edison, king of patents
Implementation, partnerships, marketing (visibility), and growth are all just as important as being first. This is one of the biggest misunderstandings in academia, where the ultimate goal is simply to be published first and recognized most.

This brings back memories of the first school bus conversion I ever saw covered extensively online, from the genius mind of Jake Van Slatt [1]. He took the reuse of discarded materials as his main inspiration, and really turned out something beautiful. His blog is full of all sorts of kooky inventions and reclaimed item builds.
He posted two great summaries of the bus interior and construction on his newer website: http://steampunkworkshop.com/bus2.shtml http://steampunkworkshop.com/bus1.shtml

I love this wish list item:
"John Lasseter loves looking at film assets in progress on an iPad. If anyone were to get this working on iOS he'd be looking at your code, and the apple geeks in all of us would smile."
