Your Favorite Educational Sources
November 17, 2015 at 5:32 pm
This is a thread where you share your favorite sources to try to learn something new for free. I will provide a few entirely free to use websites to start this off. 
Are you a College Student and can't afford Textbooks? Are you someone who likes reading scientific encyclopedias but think they are too expensive? Well this website can help. 
http://www.openstaxcollege.org
Do you want to learn to Program, but can't find any good sources? Here are two common websites I have found to be good quality. 
https://www.codecademy.com
http://www.sololearn.com
Do you want to learn about a Variety of Topics? Here is Khanacademy. 
https://www.khanacademy.org
If you have any good websites to share, feel free. 
If you found you like any of these websites, feel free to comment on them, giving other people perspective on what is most liked at first glance.

For a surprisingly high level popular science discussion of relativity, see "PBS Spacetime" on Youtube

Ah, can't believe I forgot these.
Duolingo is good for learning Foreign Languages like Spanish, French or German.
http://www.duolingo.com
FreeRice is good for memorizing some basic stuff and even SAT prep. It also gives lessons to help you memorize words in foreign languages like Spanish, French and German.
Every question you correctly answer, you donate 10 grains of rice to a country that needs such.(This is possible by advertising on the website)
http://freerice.com/category
This should help round out everybody's education a little more.

State and university extension services.  They do more than just books, articles, and seminars. They get hands on, building shit and running demonstrations.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
