I agree it's odd. They've been showing it off at most of the sessions at the current NEXT conference, and we've requested but not yet gotten access to it.

There's certainly a wide gamut of creators out there, and the handymen I've seen have videos like you mentioned. I imagine the complaints above are about the far more commercialized channels that do in fact model their videos afte

I imagine the critique is based on the nutrition label alone; I'm not aware of and cannot find any labeling where the brand suggests the product is "sugar-free" outside the nutrition label. Regardless, it is indeed a deceptiv

Our 7-year old has the same thing. My main advice is to not fret and stay calm as time is the real solution. For the clinginess, some tactics we've used to account for it is to setup play dates with other kids. For the meltdowns, we si

As someone who's been remote-only for about six years, I agree. I'd prefer a balance of remote/in-office work, and the in-office work I've had during this time has been invaluable. Further, I agree with the author that t

I also avoid the larger communities. The value in reddit is having a number of doors to open and shut at will. Can I find a better place for discussion in a specific forum? Probably, but reddit is great for being able to visit and consult w

I agree with you. /r/legaladvice is the peak example of this; as someone who enjoys reading threads there and generally avoids commenting as I'm no lawyer nor legal expert they've become practically unbearable as more an

I've recently been looking into getting a UTV, and reddit discussions are great for subjective decisions like this. A few threads that I found helpful are below: https://old.reddit.com/r/UTV/comments/q9mq
