Hamster Pad Connects You to Tons of Slack Communities You Can Join

Looking for like-minded people to discuss programming, gaming, writing, or any other interest? Hamster Pad will help you find a Slack community to join.

The site essentially aggregates open Slack teams. Create an account on Hamster Pad, click on a chat and you’ll get an email invite to join the Slack team. The tags for each chat help you figure out if it fits your interests, but currently there’s no search or other way of filtering the communities list.

As of this writing, there are several Slack teams dedicated to programming and particular programming languages, but there are also teams for general topics such as music, travel, and Star Wars.

Whether you’re feeling lonely or want to join a new Slack group, Hamster Pad could help you get connected.

11 Places to Get Kombucha on Draft Around Philly

Kombucha, the fermented beverage that’s been touted as a probiotic wonder drink, is like Paris Hilton circa 2003: Whether you like it or not (and regardless of whether you think it’s totally gross), it is everywhere. And not just in bottles: We noticed that draft kombucha seemed to be popping up all over town, so…

Kanye West – “No More Parties In L.A.” (Feat. Kendrick Lamar)

Happy MLK Day! To celebrate, here’s the first ever collaboration between two of America’s greatest black artists. We were expecting another new Kanye West song last Friday, but life got in the way of G.O.O.D. Friday, so the previously teased Kendrick Lamar collab “No More Parties In L.A.” got pushed back. It’s here now, three […]

You Need a Budget's New Web App Runs In Any Browser, Switches to a Subscription Pricing Model

You Need a Budget has long been one of the most popular personal finance tools around and it’s launching a new web app that comes with a new pricing model.

http://ift.tt/1TAeLUh...

The new version of You Need a Budget is a web app, meaning that it’ll run in any browser without needing to install additional software. It also means a new subscription model for pricing: $5/month or $50/year. As far as features are concerned, there’s a ton of differences, including new features like age of money and direct imports of transactions. The web app format also means syncing is taken away from Dropbox and works directly with YNAB’s servers. There’s so many changes in how it works that YNAB created a transition guide and is giving away a 34-day trial to check it out while also offering up classes to walk you through the all the changes (or just check them out on YouTube). In short, it’s an entirely different approach for YNAB, but thankfully the company’s doing everything they can to ease the transition for users.

If you’re not a fan of the web app format, YNAB 4 will see support through the end of this year, and a desktop version of the new You Need a Budget is supposedly in the works.

The Secret to Perfectly Roasted Brussels Sprouts (Every Time) — Delicious Links

Pin it

I absolutely love roasted Brussels sprouts. When done right, they're mellow, crispy, and slightly salty. But all too often, roasted Brussels sprouts can turn out burnt and bitter on the outside, while remaining chewy and undercooked on the inside. Let's change that.

Summer Vegetable and Tofu Kebabs

We usually freeze food to hold and preserve it for another day, and it's a great way to reduce food waste. While some foods don't change much with a stint in the freezer, there are some that don't fare so well.

But what if I told you there was a food that actually benefited from going into the freezer first? Let's talk about the magic that happens when tofu is frozen.
