My default is Subscribed | New comments.

Hot and Active are too slow. New Comments lets even old posts rise to the top showing that new comments are being made and can be interacted with.

Then I switch to Subscribed | New to jump on new posts if I want to, and then finish up with All | New Comments and dive into the action lol.

What's your strategy?

I travel quite a bit for work, and my kids are 1 and 4. Sometimes I can't wait to get away from the house of toddler chaos and get to a bed where I can just sleep blissfully alone. But once I see their faces on video chat from my hotel room I miss them so much and just want to go home.

Give me another week at home however and I'm itching to get out of there again. Anyone else feel this?
