The 'more information' site linked on the page seems like something some HN folk love. https://www.workmall.com/flags/united_states_flag.html

Thank you, this is what I meant. I am well aware they exist but anytime I mention maybe I use reddit to do research before a purchase - everyone acts like not a single human even exists on there.

This seems like the more lucrative route. As an avid reader I do a bit of research before deciding on a book. I suppose someone had to read it first but a lot of good books seem to bubble up to the top. I would never dig 5 pages deep into A

Agree, I am a bit tired of this bread and cheese only taste good in Europe. It’s like they just went into a store and got Wonder bread and some Kraft singles. My local H-E-B has a bread aisle as long as a football field and a whole corner b

Somehow, for the first time ever, I recently heard the idea of the 13 month year and I sort of nodded my head in interest. Then I heard someone breakdown the history of calendars and it really blew my mind. Mainly the amount of thought that

How can we forget him as Chubbs Peterson in Happy Gilmore as well? What an outstanding life lived. Admirably, he wasn't just some athlete trying to find a fallback gig if football didn't work out. He also attained a masters in the

There must also be something to having just a small roster in the NBA, that makes some of the best incredibly more impactful - such as Lebron or Curry. In the NFL the QB position has such an effect on the game (Brady, Mahomes). Mike Trout i
