Especially if you have data to compare. Recently a website that I used often Monkeytype, reminded me that it has been two years since I started typing on their website. Here’s a snapshot of the progress over two years. There’s a slow but steady increasing trend shown by the graph. It shows how fast I…
I chance upon this notice a few days ago. I’ve been to this shop once, a few months back, where it was selling quite a large number of pastries and sandwiches. I had no idea how old the shop was at that time. I noticed it was not upon recently so I went closer. I…
