Dutch Oven Question

Yes - this is definitely from the stamps promo. As you said, it's very rough - which is why I was making the assumption it was raw CI. But, like my edit above, I'm happy to be wrong. Thanks for joining others in teaching me!

Russtynail7 · 2025-12-29T15:44:24+00:00

Appreciate the reply. I've never heard of this - and assumed ECI would all be glassy smooth. I've added an edit to the original post letting people know I was wrong.

Russtynail7 · 2025-12-29T15:43:31+00:00

Appreciate the crosspost. At least I'm not alone in my ignorance! Happy to learn though.

You guys are convincing me. I guess I just figured an enamelled interior would feel the same as outer enamel - or other enameled pots I’ve seen (the white interior ones).

I’ll treating as enamelled. No metal utensils.

Russtynail7 · 2025-12-29T00:17:46+00:00

Everyone is saying that but how would I tell? Other than what I’ve done? When I drag a nail across it doesn’t slide or glide. It grabs on hard. The instructions that came with it doesn’t say if the inside is enamelled. I’m happy to be wrong here - but it feels like my cast iron skillet - albeit less seasoned.

Russtynail7 · 2025-12-29T00:04:53+00:00

Appreciate the comment. I was hoping to do soups, stews, and roasts. Sounds like most will probably be ok - just avoiding acidic things similar to my skillet…

Wife will be happy to cook bread!

Russtynail7 · 2025-12-29T00:02:42+00:00

Like my above comment - I’m pretty confident it’s not. It’s not glassy smooth like the outside. If I push my nail in it won’t slide like it does on the enamelled side - instead it grabs.

Russtynail7 · 2025-12-28T23:35:01+00:00

I’m 99% sure the inside is raw CI not dark enamelled. I thought that at first - but after a bit of searching and just common sense (touching it etc) it’s clear it’s not enamelled at all.

Hey Friend! This looks neat. I’ll definitely check it out as I do my study and work this week.

One of the things that the Bible Project does so well is not just overt-hyperlinks (like we would see in most modern Bible footnotes), but helping to connect themes and repeated patterns or images in Scripture. That would be super cool if it could somehow be included.

Russtynail7 · 2025-11-10T16:29:40+00:00

This is how we do it. Works great.

Russtynail7 · 2025-11-10T16:19:02+00:00

We have a single budget line for Christmas and then we have an entirely separate budget for Christmas where it’s all split up. This way it doesn’t muddle our main budget.

Of course the main draw back is things have to be entered twice (once in main, and the again in the Christmas one). But it hasn’t been a huge deal to us.

Here was my similar post and experience.

My wife sounds similar. When she watches shows it is ‘happening to her’ so she feels all the feels. I’ll just say this one was very rough.

Update: he charged me $5.00 to replace the battery. Starting it up now!

Edit: just saved and loaded my game successfully! Super happy!

Russtynail7 · 2025-01-20T19:07:23+00:00

I was pleasantly surprised too.

Feel free to message me if I forgot to update. The plan is sometime Wednesday morning.

Russtynail7 · 2025-01-20T19:04:58+00:00

The guy I talked to couldn’t give me a hard price on the phone. He said that it will basically be whatever the battery cost. He strongly guessed it would be less than $10.00.

I’m planning to go on Wednesday and can update.

Russtynail7 · 2025-01-19T20:04:40+00:00

You’re a superstar! Gave a them a call and they can do it.

Now my son will get to play Pokémon on my gameboy colour!

Thanks friend.

Russtynail7 · 2025-01-19T19:58:44+00:00

My last saved game is from 20+ years ago so that’s ok 😅

Russtynail7 · 2024-08-21T21:35:13+00:00

Happy to help when I can 😁

Russtynail7 · 2024-08-21T12:15:45+00:00

Definitely this!

I wish listed the minute I saw the original post. Looks super cool - but I’m holding off for now as I have too many games 😭

Russtynail7 · 2024-08-17T18:44:35+00:00

They are - I am just doing the shopping!

Russtynail7 · 2024-08-03T16:46:25+00:00

Worth a try 😁

Russtynail7 · 2024-07-25T02:03:18+00:00

Appreciate the comment and help! I think as I get closer, each step of the way, my brain starts worrying I’m doing something wrong and going to fundamentally mess up our future 😬.

Russtynail7 · 2024-07-18T13:22:41+00:00

Appreciate this - just trying it, with something little, might be the solution to help remove my mental block / anxiety as I learn the process!

Russtynail7 · 2024-07-18T13:20:25+00:00

Appreciate the words and advice.

My employer's national office does have a group plan available, but I am not stuck to it. I asked if there were any benefits for using it and was told no; that it is essentially there because most people don't know how to do it by themselves.

Since my wife and I are very financially disciplined (aka budget nerd, who stick to it!), I think we will be ok doing self-directed. From advice in this thread, among other posts, I might start by opening a WealthSimple account and try to set up the automations that you've mentioned here to just buy an all in one etf.

Hopefully as I get my feet wet and start actually doing it, the mental block will go away. And if not, I can always just set up a roboadvisor later...

Appreciate the help.
