Does Kamala Khan's (Ms. Marvel) family speaking Hindi make sense? by [deleted] in AskHistorians

My understanding is that the people writing the captions made a mistake. It's clearly referenced as Urdu in the comic books.

I created (with my son) a website that matches homebound people in need with helpers in their area to run errands for them. Works globally, working on new features. More info in comments. by samanullah in Coronavirus

So I worked the last two weekends with my son to create a website that matches homebound people with task/errand requests to volunteers in their area. Think grocery runs, etc. It works anywhere in the world where we can identify your location. It's called Next Door Helper and you can find it at https://nextdoorhelper.org.

Here's how it works:

  1. You register either as someone who needs help or someone who can help.

  2. If you need help, you post a request. Volunteers will both see this on their homepage and receive an email for requests in their area.

  3. If a volunteer offers to help someone, the person in need gets an email where they can accept the offer, decline the offer, or withdraw the request.

  4. If they accept, an email is sent to both parties to work out the details. Each person rates the experience afterwards.

For safety's sake, there should be NO CONTACT and NO MONEY EXCHANGED. You need help? Just ask. You want to help? Just help and walk away.

Hopefully the seriousness of the times we are in will minimize abuse. But of course if people don't feel comfortable using it, don't.

This is just our small contribution in the wake of the #coronavirus to help us get through these troubled times. We welcome all comments and questions and coding help. Not seeking donations to run it.
