Okay but steam from the side seal sounds like a bad gasket, not a dead cooker. Those rubber rings get hard and crack after a few years. Did you check if you can just order a new seal? Mine did that and a $12 part from Amazon fixed it. Way cheaper than a whole new pot.

That show actually had eight episodes in its first season, not four. The pacing was a common complaint though, especially with how much time they spent in the Harfoot camp. It felt like the main plot with Galadriel and the Southlands took forever to get going. I stuck it out to the end, but it never really picked up speed for me either.

Watched my friend try to make broccoli for years and it always came out like sad, wet grass. She got an air fryer last month and now she makes these crispy little trees with garlic powder that actually taste good, like from a restaurant. It's wild how a simple machine can change your whole view on a vegetable you used to avoid. She went from hating broccoli to eating it three times a week, no joke.
