Rice in the instant pot is fine, but it's a bit more hands on. The rice cooker makes it perfect automatically every time after you put the ingredient in and just press a button. You can also keep the rice warm the entire day so you can make some for breakfast and just use it throughout the day, hot and ready to eat! The convenience of not needing to babysit the rice, put leftovers away right after making it, no chance of burning the rice, every individual grain cooked perfectly etc. It's worth it. When you have equipment that makes something, normally mediocre, exceptional every time you end up eating it way more often.

Edit: I realize the instant pot has a keep warm function too, but I often make something in my instant pot to go with the rice so it's better to have a rice cooker for that reason as well.

Continued from OP:

10: Dehydrating anything (air fryer).

Air fryers are dehydrators too! Dehydrate fruit, or make fruit leather. Or dehydrate mini marshmallows to mix with Cheerios for homemade lucky charms!

Make a balsamic reduction.

No doubt you can even easily make your own beef jerky even. I definitely need to try that. So many possibilities.

So there you have it. 10 major things that you can do with these 5 appliances!

Were you paid $2/hr aside from your tips like is the minimum wage for tipped workers in the US? If not, you didn't need to worry because you weren't relying on them to pay your bills. American tipping culture sucks and ruins the experience for both customers and service staff, but it saves BUSINESSES money! So here we are.

Who also owns some BTC.

By over 30%:

Meanwhile...

$1000 would've bought 7.388 BTC in August 2013.

7.388 BTC today is worth... $193,186.08

Tell me again which one is the best place to store value?

Edit: Downvoted for showing facts. Not surprised.

90% of my usage is on Mobile and through my Roku TV which both use specific apps to view YouTube. That's my problem.

I can use revanced to change the app on my phone, or download another app like NewPipe and that would work for a bit. But the hoops I'm referring to are when the apps get banned and need to be updated to work again, AND the hoops I feel I'd need to go to for an ad blocker at the router level so my Roku TV won't show ads through YouTube. (Though I should probably look into that anyway to get rid of ads on my TVs home screen).

It just feels like a hassle to me, and I'm paying $8/mo as a student anyway so it's pretty cheap too.
