isitdoneyet.gov Really?
- givehimagun 8y agoLooks like its a food safety website from the USDA recommending cooking temperatures. Is It Done Yet makes sense.
- rhacker 8y agoWell, except that it doesn't make sense for them to actually have a domain for it. The domain does a 301 directly to a page within the usda.gov site. The domain itself doesn't even come up on a search for isitdoneyet, instead just the forwarded page does. So no, while the content is useful, having a separate domain and SSL certificate, really isn't useful.
- function_seven 8y agoWhat's the URL for the 301 destination? (No cheating, I want to know from memory :)
- naniwaduni 8y agoYou can print "isitdoneyet.gov" on a PSA poster (like, on paper) and have people be able to type that into their browser. https://www.fsis.usda.gov/wps/portal/fsis/topics/food-safety-education/teach-others/fsis-educational-campaigns/is-it-done-yet https://www.fsis.usda.gov/wps/portal/fsis/topics/food-safety... not so much. An extra domain and a cert are essentially costless if you're managing more than a handful already, so what's the probem?
- sdfaaaaadfasd 8y ago> so what's the probem? muh small government
- dooglius 8y agoIt's a memorable URL, which I'd say is pretty useful.
- untog 8y agoWhy doesn't it make sense to have a domain for it? It's a lot more memorable than anything else would be.

- larkeith 8y agoI noticed that one too - it actually redirects to a USDA page with information on what temperature foods are safely cooked at.
- shanecleveland 8y agoMy shutdown-proof version: http://donetemperature.com http://donetemperature.com
- smsm42 8y agoI pretty much expected to find there the site about whether government shutdown is finished or not :)
