I found this to be an enlightening and fun article. The one negative I would flag is that it is US-centric and - while nails did not change much during that period - the US was created as a collection of states while being settled by colonizers. That was a very disruptive geographic phase.

It would probably be more useful to have run a similar study against Europe during this period. While the formation of nation states and the industrial revolution would be substantial socio-economic activities, the relative change was less.

Thank you! Great link

Weird. I edit a lot of videos but this is basically not something I have ever needed. The natural cadence of speakers is more valuable to me.

I am based in Japan and naturally Balmuda makes quite an impact here with their home goods. It’s not entirely surprising that they teamed up with a Japanese electronics company to make some lifestyle products. I suspect the phone will have reasonable sales inside the market but nothing sustainable. It appears to be more of a “look what I got” lifestyle accessory for people in their 30s.

Note from someone who does a lot of woodwork: yup, that’s right.
