I’ve been eyeing the Joule and it’s really piqued my interest. It seems like more of a smart oven, but…more geared towards those who want to learn how to actually cook? And from scratch? I’m saying now, I’m not a good cook, at all. But I am definitely open to learning and it seems like the Joule may be good for that.

I have a couple questions I was hoping those who have experienced can answer:

How difficult is it typically for you to find the instructions for a packaged food, for example, a specific frozen pizza? Or is there a way that you calculate it?

Are you pretty satisfied with the autopilot feature? Does it cover most of your favorite recipes?

Is there a feature or two that really makes it stand out from others?

I’m very interested in the fact it can cook huge amounts and just about every cooking method as well. How do you feel about the cooking lessons? Do you feel like they are beginner friendly?

Thanks for all input. It’s greatly appreciated.

Howdy! Many moons ago, when covid first hit, I had a remote job and a massive score with a cast iron old ass timey tub.

I had just started messing around with Instagram and came across some amazing indie makers and happily went down that rabbit hole.

That was almost 6 years ago, and I'm sure you know a lot can happen between that time.

The other thing that was hard to keep up with was things selling out in minutes.

Can anyone point me into the God-tier high quality bath and body goods nowadays?Preferably can keep anything in stock? Lol

What about the best scented waxes with insane throws?

I promise you I did a search first. Crazy this isn't discussed more often.

I’m 20 hours late commenting on Mockler’s video being posted and just now getting to…

This may be a bold statement, but not only as a woman who grew up in abuse but hell, even just a human being:

Max Miller’s justification video was probably the most disturbing thing I’ve seen come from MAGA making me want to vomit maybe to date and that is not something I say lightly. At the least, I can’t think of anything comparable anytime recently.

EDIT: I can’t find the exact start to finish transcripts but this gives a pretty good picture of what I’m talking about:

Just want to be clear: no court, no agency has ever substantiated any allegation of abuse against me. No criminal charge has ever been filed against me.

Every single one of these allegations were already investigated, and I cooperated fully every single time because I had nothing to hide and I have nothing to hide now. These are incredibly serious criminal accusations, and if these accusations were true, I would be in jail.

My ex-wife has engaged in a pattern of reporting serious and destructive allegations with absolutely no evidence. She is making allegations against me to not only abuse to our daughter, but she is making allegations against me to her that never happened. I have video and text message evidence showing the contrary of that. And she's not mentally well, Your Honor. I was told by two separate doctors that she was diagnosed bipolar, and I also believe that my ex-wife is purposefully hurting my daughter.

Regarding the claim about hot water: it was actually 'horseplay' using our kitchen sink sprayer when we were still married, which does not reach boiling temperature.

Regarding my daughter: I have been cleared in Child Protective Services' investigation. County investigators closed the probe into whether I physically abused my daughter, declaring it unsubstantiated.

Every one of these messages is time-stamped on our court-sanctioned, co-parenting app.

If I had assaulted her, would she have offered to cook me dinner six days later? Would she have invited me to spend an afternoon at the playground with her and our daughter? Would she have written that we were 'in a friendlier place'?

I've learned from the interviews that I have already done that the truth will not come out that way whatsoever. The left-wing media already has a narrative that's chopping it up into reality for them.

I am not stepping down. I'm not getting out of this race, I am staying in this race and seeking reelection in the fall, and I'll win in November.

Fuck this asshole. He’s also been accused of domestic violence by more than just her.

I absolutely know you are going to look at this and be like, well yeah no shit but I guarantee you a huge population neglects this. Every IT professional knows this concept very well.

Companies hire people for one reason: to fix their problems.

If I pick you out of all the other professionals to be my database admin, I guarantee you I didn’t so you could keep asking me how to write a proper SQL query.

There is knowledge that is company-specific. But tons are well known.

If there is anything that you think you can learn…

ALWAYS FIRST START BY SEARCHING ON GOOGLE.

Tons of stuff you do have to ask your coworkers, they may have to look it up themselves.

It will never hurt to spend a few seconds to look more self sufficient.

That is one way you can at least show you are trying to be more educated.

Just to start off, I was speaking to my last driver about how insane people are to get pissed no one will bring their food anyone delivering DoorDash thinking they wait to the end to expect someone to do for driving 8 miles for $2 if that may happen.

He laughed and said no one ever tips uber never ever at all. I said well that’s going to change today.

If I can’t drive myself because I could have a seizure and you are willing to meet me at my door and safely take me across town? I can’t understand why I wouldn’t use $10 as in offset I have the capacity to have them again? If I can get someone to want to do it again just because I did?

I also don’t understand why they cannot calculate the mileage to a rounded up number

I think it would be much better to choose between $3, $5, $8 than what they are doing now.

Female, tested in early nineties and was found to be “profoundly gifted” after a speech therapist flagged me. I have spent my entire life in an existential crisis because I think about horrible thoughts and no one can ease my mind and I’m routinely told people don’t normally have the capacity to think that deep.

I was placed in 21 group homes in 19 months as a teen. Every brain doctor I see now: psych, neuro, sleep, tells me I need to look into the spectrum.

Things I’m only now clocking as not-normal: ate and the same exact thing at Taco Bell three meals a day for months, switched to Arby’s, did it again. Played one song 150k+ times on repeat, rewinding if I got distracted for 17 seconds. Shake my legs violently around people. Don’t want to leave the house.

The scary part: two episodes in eight months. First lasted ~2 months. I was replying to texts, including to my daughter, in strings like z.%WceY3 for paragraphs with no awareness. Three weeks ago, worse: woke up with no concept of what a “word” was. Couldn’t think of the word “word” to ask for help. Sat upright in a cold bath for nearly 5 hours at 2 AM. Sweat through the mattress. Today it still takes hours to force my eyes open.

Two years ago I paid $8k for an autism eval. She used the ADOS (wrong tool for adult women), reported zero points, said she threw out every test because I “malingered.” Her assistant accidentally uploaded a result showing significant ADHD before she pulled it. Asked for the report two months ago and got a different AI-template version that didn’t match.

What kind of specialist should I actually be pursuing? Any sources for figuring out what the episodes could be?
