Ok, Vitamix I can agree with, solid product and the choice of most restaurants.

High end rice cooker is worth it if you actually plan on using the features. Timers for rice and oatmeal can be convient. If you don’t need that get a cheap one.

Bread maker, don’t waste your money. 95% of people it will just sit in the closet. The bread is not going to be gourmet quality. Honestly if you want fresh bread buy a kitchen aid mixer and make it from scratch.

Instant pot, it can be convenient for speeding up cooking. If you’re using it for the occasional dried beans or tough meat it might be worth it. It can work as a crockpot, but if you don’t need pressure cooking just buy a crockpot.

Air fryer, honestly only use this for junk food. It’s not something that will elevate your cooking. You can get an instant pot that does crockpot and air fryer if you really want one.

As others have stated, work on base techniques and not gadgets. Outside of a stand mixer and a good blender none of these tools are very useful for most people. Buy the tool that helps you cook, don’t buy the tool and find an excuse to use it.

Don’t know if it’s a Kbin thing but the exploding windmills are a little dramatic for the headline.

Thankfully the SEC is one of the few agencies with massive tracking of employees finances.

I agree with this, kbin user and it has some good stuff but not quite it.

So have been on both sides and prefer the iPhone. The logic being that I have no advanced needs that require the adaptability of android. If I wanted to root a phone for more control then iPhone would not be the way to go.

In the past the big turn off for android was carriers adding spyware (ie Facebook, etc) by default that required rooting to get rid of.

So keep in mind living rural and working remote may be harder here. Fiber networks are very uncommon and internet is nothing like in the US.

Also as others have mentioned German conservatives are more like conservative democrats in the US. AfD is more like our republicans.

Just a point to keep in mind Berlin, Munich, and Stuttgart are some of the most expensive cities in Germany. I am living in the Stuttgart area and renting is only about 20% less than D.C.. But fibre internet is common and English is more common due to the US military presence.
