I got a headache just by looking at those cables
I LOVE my Arbhar and the Lubadh, but the videos are SOOO long. Updated my module earlier and hopefully I can stumble into the new features.
Maybe Instruo should try Expert Sleepers’ approach to Disting videos? I like how they’re pretty short and focused on each mode individually.
I mean the entire video is bookmarked with dozens of chapters
You can literally pinpoint the info you want and watch that
The videos are great – I always come away knowing something more than I did going in
Excellent!!!
