That is actually an excellent use. That's the first I've heard of that one.

I know online schooling can be frustrating. I earned most of my college degree and 2 certificates that way. Ultimately we're all human and even teachers make mistakes. There are also online teachers who bullshit their jobs and do dumb shit like taking cursory looks at assignments and half ass grading. I remember reading somewhere that these teachers will take on several classes and get paid per class and that some of them will work with multiple schools.
I'm sorry your daughter had to deal with that stress. You did the best thing your could which is follow up and keep ask about it and in the worst case scenario, escalate it. Usually these teachers also have phone numbers in their syllabus, don't be afraid to call them or to contact the school to get the number. I remember most online teachers only check their messages once a day and some of them won't check on weekends.
This will probably happen again at some point. Just follow up and contact the teacher. Any time I ever had issues the teachers were adults about it and apologized. Idk if this is with every online school but mine would send out surveys at the end of each class. If you get those make sure to fill them out with good and bad feedback. The positive thing about this is you are showing your daughter how to handle a real world problem like an adult and how to resolve a conflict with someone she has to work with.
I would not judge it based on the vocal minority that dominates the web.
Some people choose to belittle others to make themselves feel bigger rather than strive to be better.
Going through data and writing letters are the only tasks I've seen AI be useful for. I still wouldn't trust it as far as I could kick it's ass and I'd check it well before submitting for work.
I'm what ways has it been useful?
Finding a better therapist would help. Also finding the right people to vent to. Some people handle it better than others. You can try even saying, "hey, I'm not looking for advice, I just need to vent, would you mind being an ear?" at least that way you have their permission and they understand that they aren't expected to fix whatever the issue is. Controlling who you vent to is also a good way to prevent venting to the wrong asshole who can't shut their mouth.
I know you said no Journaling, but also consider a journal app on your phone or even just a Google docs. It's a discreet way to vent briefly. I remember also taking a pen and a notebook and writing how I felt over the same line over and over so it wasn't legible to anybody walking by. It's likely something you'll never read again and it's about letting out the frustration more than anything.
I'll never understand why anyone would spend half a million on a dime with no s.
Lodge is perfectly good. It's not about how much you spend on it but how you take care of it.
You can also try antique stores to see if you can find any. A lot of older cookware shows up at the ones in the Eastern US
If you work from home, make it a point to get up and get dressed for your shift. Dressing casual is fine. Consider putting on shoes or house shoes too. There's something about it that wakes you up and gets you in the right mind every day.
Nails. Like the kind you hammer in. I hate them. They always come out and you have to hammer them in again eventually. Screws are the way to go.
