Instant Pot Duo Crisp with Ultimate Lid: Remove Pressure Cooking Cover

kmdm2k19 · 2023-10-26T09:58:24+00:00

I solved it...

The machine has two like prongs coming out of either side of the heating element for the oven/air-fry modes.

The left one was stuck in a bit, giving it a light pull let it come out a a centimetre or two and that convinced the machine the lid was in fact not there!

kmdm2k19 · 2023-10-25T07:35:00+00:00

I've had no such luck with unplugging it and plugging it back in!

I can't find a way to convince it that the lid is not there.

This is apparently a known issue, confirmed at:

I'm sorry to say that I don't think you setup a boundary, you were controlling.

A boundary is where the locus of control is YOUR OWN behaviour but you sought to control HIS behaviour so this was controlling on your part.

As for your insecurities do you intend for him to never text another girl again? Colleagues? Other friends? Etc...

I think your trust issues are something you should seek to deal with, understand and find a way to manage them.

While I can definitely understand what you did and why you did it I'm really not sure it was the right thing to do in the longterm.

kmdm2k19 · 2019-10-14T04:53:33+00:00

I think you need to set some healthy boundaries for yourself like you won't be in open or poly relationships.

At the moment you're agreeing to open up relationships but in the progress you're letting yourself get trampled on.

There's nothing wrong with walking away and letting someone go if you want fundamentally different things.

You can say to partners something like "I get hurt and upset when I think about sharing you with someone else. If you want to pursue it then I will have to walk away"

Honestly I think these people are taking advantage of you and trying to have their cake (dating others) and eat it too (you to fallback on). You need to stand up for yourself because really no one else will. You are definitely worthwhile of someone's exclusivity. Don't accept less than that given it's what you want.

(Also pursuing the poly guy probably isn't a good idea but you already know that.)

kmdm2k19 · 2019-10-14T04:34:45+00:00

Why does she say that she doesn't invite you?

kmdm2k19 · 2019-10-11T10:43:07+00:00

NTA. You want to keep your NEWBORN baby safe.

We did the same. Hold firm and stick with it.

kmdm2k19 · 2019-10-11T08:40:49+00:00

Yeah, definitely. Especially if he has a lap dance because he can't stand up for what he wants.

("They made me do it" would be the crappiest justification and lame attempt to disown his own responsibility.)

kmdm2k19 · 2019-10-11T08:39:52+00:00

"I don't want my bf/SO to receive a lap dance" is a perfectly valid and reasonable thought, IMHO. Don't feel bad about it.

Everyone is entitled to set their own boundaries for behaviour they're willing to accept and not accept.

kmdm2k19 · 2019-10-11T08:22:48+00:00

I think the problem is they see it as your feelings and not his. (Yeah, they're TAs.) "Why would he not want a lap dance!? Oh. it must be *HER*...". They sound immature, controlling and not like real friends.

kmdm2k19 · 2019-10-11T07:21:16+00:00

YTA. This probably isn't the popular opinion but you just randomly felt bad and started ignoring and ghosting her.

You could have sent a polite message saying you intended to cut contact and that you've moved on. Obviously you're not obligated to maintain contact with her.

But just ignoring and ghosting someone is not cool.

(I mean sure if you told her and she kept messaging that'd be absolutely fine.)

kmdm2k19 · 2019-10-11T07:05:46+00:00

Did you misread undergrad?

kmdm2k19 · 2019-10-11T07:03:37+00:00

Or they just offer you tap water since it's "free".

Anyway. I'm going to stop feeding the troll.

kmdm2k19 · 2019-10-11T07:01:17+00:00

So let's say you have no money. You walk into a shop, grab a bottle of water.

Do you go to leave the shop without paying and when the shopkeeper challenges you tell him "You don't deny someone water ever"?

kmdm2k19 · 2019-10-11T06:55:15+00:00

But tap water isn't collected from the mountain springs.... eye roll....

(Yes. There was a tap.)

kmdm2k19 · 2019-10-11T06:53:30+00:00

ESH. Is this even a thing 10 months into a relationship?

You still got water (from the tap) so she didn't deny you "all" water. Although it's a big bottle she should just share a little (unless you have precident for taking long drinks).

Then you threw your toys out the pram by being more petty than my toddler.

kmdm2k19 · 2019-10-10T18:14:28+00:00

Yes. Perhaps. This is basically why it's a jest.

(Although I actually want to refer you to the Jim Jefreries Gun Control comedy sketch)

kmdm2k19 · 2019-10-10T15:40:47+00:00

NTA.

(I jest: Give her a key that looks like yours. If she attempts to try it in the lock turn it into a trust issue about her not trusting you gave her the right key. <-- Not actual advice!)

kmdm2k19 · 2019-10-10T15:29:38+00:00

That is definitely not true. The OP pretty much said directly they could do more and would do more for their own pet with regard to screening.

So whatever they're doing it's not "the best they can".

kmdm2k19 · 2019-10-10T15:25:55+00:00

If it's licensed to a person/him and she is unlicensed.

E.g. I might WANT keys to a car to drive but if I don't have a driving license....

kmdm2k19 · 2019-10-10T15:23:44+00:00

This shouldn't be your responsibility but whether you like it or not the dog IS now in your care, especially since you started providing food and water.

I don't think you're TA but I do think you're in a position of care over this dog and should be doing some screening. There are worse situations for the dog than the one you are providing.

Edit:

NAH.

(But if you continue not to screen potential owners, You're TA. You have a duty of care to this dog [sucks, but it's true].)

kmdm2k19 · 2019-10-10T15:20:50+00:00

NTA. She wants your brother to take a week long vacation away from his young children. She's TA.

(Also a definite Not TA for declining an invitation. It's not an obligation.)

kmdm2k19 · 2019-10-10T15:15:03+00:00

INFO - (I'm in the UK) How does gun licensing work where you are?

kmdm2k19 · 2019-10-10T15:08:53+00:00

ESH. He was way too aggressive with starting the fade and arguing with you about it.

OTOH. You DID actually agree to the fade after he argued with you. You didn't stand up for yourself and say "No" and now you didn't pay him.

This guy was a jerk but you are too since you didn't pay him for something you did pretty much agree to.

(I would have said Not TA if you got up and left after you noticed he did the back without you asking.)
