Same with other subjects, I used to hate my history class in elementary school. It was a chore, as just say, to have to remember dates for things I didn’t really care about. Later in life, I became a history lover after finding really inte

I’ve been using HN search a lot more lately. In the past I just used it to find old posts. But now I use it to research topics, the same way I used to use Google.

I once met someone from the North of England. I went to a college in the US as an exchange student, the first international student I met was this girl from a northern town in England. We started chatting, but I couldn’t understand a thing.

As a kid I would randomly call numbers to play “pranks” to strangers. One day this nice old lady answered, she ignored my prank and just started a nice conversation with me, we spoke for hours. Thankfully I remembered her number and called
