And still we are called “Lazy”

Honestly, it’s an information goldmine. You’ll get answers to most obscure questions and in detail. All others sources on the internet are either fluff or endorsements. It it also inconvenient to have to visit two websites that does same thing. So people don’t want to abandon what they are habituated to.

That was very insightful, Thank you!

This is how I do it. I usually have good idea about what things I use regularly and ease my work. When they breakdown, I look for those that are well built and long lasting even though expensive.

For things I’m not sure about, I go with a cheap one and when it breaks/when I fing myself using it regularly, I replace it with a quality one.

However I’ve observed that the quality ones are not always the expensive ones. They are some where between the normal priced ones and the most expensive ones. That’s the sweet spot.

How do we go about finding a trustworthy expert?

+1. I accidentally stumbled upon that one day and it’s been great since then.

I have, although I’m only a lurker. I understand the concerns of the moderators and regular posters and decided to support them by not giving my attention and time to the website. I’ve subscribed to some of the communities here and enjoying it thus far. I’ll try not to peak and get most of solutions else where but it’s going to be an uphill task for me, who tries to find every answer in Reddit.

Thank you for the suggestion. Will check it out.

So true. I add reedit at the end of my query to get solutions for very specific problems. Now after that whole fiasco, it feels wrong to do that anymore. I hope this gets good traffic in the future.
