DuckDuckGo has a nice timer https://duckduckgo.com/?q=25+minutes+timer&hps=1&atb=v325-1&...

Recently I've started using Kagi (I love it) and I am slightly dissapointed that it does not have any.


You should be careful what kind of links you post in your articles. Once I've clicked on /r/eatsandwiches I was too distracted to read the rest of the blog post.


Kurzgesagt was and still is the most eye opening for me personally.

>so I optimize for razors that get the job done faster (more blades, easier to swap a new blade)

Razors like G. Mach3 or similar are neither really much faster nor better in any way (I compare them against my $25 "classical" metal razor "Timor Solingen 1322"). The fact that so many people think otherwise is a proof that marketing departments of G. or Edgewell (Wilkinson) did a very good job.


I also used to hate shaving. I've switched to "classical" Timor Solingen razor recently ($25) + hard soap. While shaving took me some more time initially (+5 minutes every other day), overall quality of life was improved. This is single piece razor, so changing blades is as fast, and it gives better results than 5 blade heads. And much reduced plastic waste is also important to me. I don't know from where this myth of how faster or better "G* Mach3" (or similar) razors are, but sure the marketing department of those companies did a good job.


Hello from the Europe (PL). What are the odds of getting one of those if you live outside US/CA?


Are there any chances for better Vim mode?


Thank you for your reply! Would you like to share your experience with your Kobo and how it handles (technical) EPUBs?


The most technical thing I've used it for was a compsci textbook or a manual (either O'Reilly or similar) and it looked pretty alright under Nickel iirc. Depends largely on whether the code is rendered as text or an image.


Thank you for your answer. So basically if you are from Europe your best bet is PocketBook. I feel embarrassed not knowing about them, they actually sell and ship directly from Poland (and many other countries). It seems that originally they were founded in Swizerland.


I've only seen Remarkable on photos, but comparing to all other (even the expensive Sony models) it just looks best. Maybe it's because its frames are white, and in these days we tend to perceive electronic devices with small (or almost none) frames as more modern? So does the real-life look hold up?


Yeah I would say so. It's a very nice device for sure.
