Help! Since my hard drive recently crashed I’ve lost all my bookmarks.What this means is that sites I visited infrequently, when bored or whatnot have been lost.It was easy to replace links that were used daily or weekly, but sometimes I’ve read all my sites or I just want something new. So what other sites do you visit on a fairly frequent (or infrequent) basis? Of course I’ve recovered The Straight Dope, Fathom, The Onion and Fark. I just need something new!! ---

I’m disappointed. Nobody’s sharing much. I, however, love to share. Unfortunatlely, I can’t figure out how to convert my bookmarks into a format you can read here, and I can’t be bothered with ubb.
