This is a good viewpoint. You actually make me feel relieved. I used to worry about human jobs being taken by AI. Now that I think of it as something like cars, I can see human life will be much more convenient as long as we go through that transition.
So the material looks identical with other grocery store clippers. I guess the curved file was slightly nicer? I mean my $2 clipper has served me 2 years without hints of becoming dull anytime soon. I don't understand the appeal of this other than its exotic Japanese background.
I bought one of the Japanese clippers - I don’t remember if it was this. There are many different types of steel with different tradeoffs. They were so sharp that I would regularly cut a chunk of my skin off that grocery store clippers would have just.. squished. Not sure if it was worth it or not but they are certainly different than $2 clippers
I own these. The experience using them is substantially better than using grocery store clippers. The cutting edges meet very precisely and firmly so I get a very clean cut with relatively low pressure every time. There is very little "give" in the lever, so with my relatively thick nails, there is never a bend as I apply more pressure.
Here's a tl;dr for you on "why do I need a new browser" from the post:
* Better web tracking protections: https://help.duckduckgo.com/duckduckgo-help-pages/privacy/we.... This includes a bunch of protections not offered by most other browsers and extensions by default (e.g., embedded facebook content protection), or more robust versions of them (e.g., our HTTPS everywhere list is orders of magnitude bigger). More generally our web tracking protections are based on our open source crawler vs. community feedback, and we believe this approach is ultimately better and leads us to study and block new tracking techniques faster.
* New feature: Duck Player, a YouTube player that helps protect your privacy (no targeted ads, no influencing your recommendations, etc.)
* New feature: automatic cookie consent pop-up manager, which not only hides these but also makes sure to select the most private options before doing so (if you don't do that you can be subject to more tracking).
* New feature: Fire Button, one click data clearing for tabs, windows, sites, or everything.
* A focus on Privacy, simplified, which means working continuously on not breaking websites while still protecting you as much as we can, and keeping the interface clean and sleek.
Duck player seems interesting to me. I use firefox containers to browse youtube and one of my pet peeves with safari is not being able to keep my google and youtube cookies separately.
As a geek, I pride myself in using all the browsers. I have the free time to try them out and each one has its own unique selling point and feature set, which I leverage. Firefox and Brave for privacy. Microsoft Edge for normie stuff. Chrome for using Google services. Tor Browser Bundle for dodging the NSA. Opera & Vivaldi, because they're super customizable and quirky. Then various apps on my phone like Vanadium, Brave, DuckDuckGo, vanilla Safari, Firefox Focus, etc
I did it early this year, finished on April 15th. I was not an avid runner by any means, onlyed picked up running around Sept 2020, started from daily walking only. You can absolutely do that, and it will feel awesome after you achieved it
