Since all of us are staying inside for an increased amount of time i thought it would be cool to have a thread where people can recommend activates for one another to pass the time. Some examples...

Shows/Movies and their respective streaming site
Books
Gaming
Online education courses
Exercises you can do at home
Health tips
Food recipes
A fun Arts and Crafts project for the kids

To start it off here is a youtube link to a sweet lady who has since passed away but made some very nice videos about what her and her family would eat during the depression.

Watch on YouTube

Plenty of recipes to check out and apparently new content is coming.

Finished it the other day. It's a tough watch if you're someone who is sensitive to the treatment of animals, like myself, but no doubt fascinating at the same time. Nobody comes out looking good in this documentary, in my opinion.

Primitive Technology on YouTube. Australian guy using primitive technology out in nature to make buildings, tools, etc. I find his videos therapeutic.

Also, Better Call Saul is better than Breaking Bad

Ozark season 3 came out last night! Finished the first two episodes last night. Can't wait to finish it this weekend.

Whoa whoa whoa, better?

Different... both excellent and Saul is absolutely worth watching. Not sure about better though.

Agree with Payt10 on Ozark, great show. I’m starting season 3 tonight.

Ozark, Narcos, Breaking Bad - All Excellent
Workouts - Planks, Squats, Lunges, Job (not at the park, any trail, lakefront; in the streets around your neighborhood)
Youtube Wormholes - I like music alot, so I love to see Music documentaries and how songs are made - here are a few:
*Demi Lovato - Simply Complicated
*Lou Pearlman - I forget the name, but he's the one who founded Backstreet Boys, NSync & O-Town;
*Ryan Leslie - (i watch his early vids of him making music to latest day; good if you're into R&B/Hip-Hop)
Time Lapse Videos - Seriously, any city timelapse video is beautiful in 4K and simply worth watching

Wow thats a bold statement. I gave up on Saul mid last season. Too boring. BB is top 3 all time for me.

On another note..l. Ozark season 3 hits today on Netflix. Great show.

i'll watch saul at some point. missed the start of the series on TV so i figured i'd wait until they re-run the series someday

i just happened to be flipping through the channels a couple of years ago and they were playing the very first episode of 'breaking bad', which i had not seen. probably 10-15 minutes into it, so i missed the diagnosis or whatever. watched the rest of the series. then a few weeks ago they started running the series again and i AGAIN missed the opening scene or two

my recommendation for our times: go heavy on the comedies. i mentioned both before, but 'larry sanders show' and 'freaks and geeks' would be my picks. the latter basically started the careers of seth rogan, jason segel, james franco and others, w/ judd apatow running the show

I love the primitive technology channel as well. Amazing what he does using Stone Age technology. One step up from that in terms of technology, there's a channel of building things without any power driven tools called "Mr. Chickadee". I find that very relaxing- watching him hew a big log by hand into square timber really gives you an appreciation for hard our ancestors had to work.

I also like Better Call Saul quite a bit. I never was into Breaking Bad so can't compare the two though. And BTW, the lead actor in Better Call Saul went to Naperville High.

I've also been watching "Black Mirror"- very dark takes on imagined futures with technology gone slightly awry.

And also "End of the F%$*king World"- sort of like A Clockwork Orange meets Sid and Nancy.

Zero Zero Zero is on Amazon. I'm only two episodes in but it's really good so far and my friends who are further love it. By some of the same people that made Gomorrah on Netflix which is profoundly good.

A few weeks ago I did drawings of a few characters from "Better Call Saul". Great show.

Thank you. That show is full of great "characters" (Breaking Bad too). It was fun drawing them.

You wold enjoy "Im am not okay with this" on Netflix. But stay away from any descriptions or even the Netflix trailer of it. Best to go into it blind.
