    I really disliked the feature of having Reddit auto generate names, I felt like it made bot activity on Reddit much easier.

    Thinking about, I think a better metric would be through advertisers - have they maintained the same engagement? If traffic remains the same then their engagement should be the same

    I'm only on reddit as a "leech" basis now, only reading, never contributing, no upvotes, etc. Only sending those precious API requests they declared so expensive.

    I too got fed up with Fitbit and how google is hamstringing it. Very happy with my Garmin Venu 2. The activity logger can be better, but its already better than fitbit.

    My only critique on the US patent system is that the clock starts when the patent is accepted and not when the product hits the market. For high regulated products, that could mean you only get a 5-10 year window to sell the product after you do your due diligence in fulfilling testing, clinical studies, etc.

    If things were to change to addrss that, they should probably include limits on how long it takes you to bring the product to market before you start your 20 year on market window.

    The screws indicate for poly or composite wood so if you're using solid wood, that could be the reason. From your below comment it sounds like your predrill is correct size, according to a quick Google, but can also go up to 9/64 if you're using a straight drill bit.

    It was stated somewhere that they'll stop making new champions at some point. It think that won't happen until all Darkins are released.
