faelflora (of all people) sent me a link about how crock pots are inferior to other low and slow cooking methods because they do not generate the most flavor.
Why Anything Slow Cookers Can Do, Others Can Do Better | Serious Eats
I question him providing information related to meat cooking as he is a smelly vegan, but it was an interesting read.
I do have a big ol pork butt in the freezer.

One is that, with a crock-pot, I can prep the meat the night before and put the whole pot into the fridge, pull it out the next morning and stick it on the cooker before I leave, log in with my phone and turn it on around 11am or noon (thanks, Con Ed), and arrive home in the evening just as it's finished. Can't do that with the main oven.
The other is a quote from the website linked to above:
"This may seem like a good thing, but in practice, it means that a slow cooker cooks, well, more slowly, and in most cases never achieves the same results as foods cooked in a Dutch oven. Vegetables remain firmer. Meat remains tougher."
Meat remains tougher? I can toss the toughest cut of beef into that thing, and after 8 hours it'll literally slide right off the bone. 7 hours for a pound and a half pork loin and I can shred it with my fingers (or, more preferably, two forks, as I don't like burning my fingers on hot pork.)
I totally buy the whole malliard reaction thing, and like I said, I'm only doing sauce-based meat recipes in here, not stuff like carnitas or brisket in which the browning of the meat is crucial.
Different tools for different uses.

Sanskrit is a polysemic language and as such, this mantra has multiple interpretations all of which may be considered as correct. "Hare" can be interpreted as either the vocative form of Hari, another name of Vishnu meaning "he who removes illusion". Another interpretation is as the vocative of Harā,[5] a name of Rādhā,[6] Krishna's eternal consort or His energy (Krishna's Shakti). According to A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada, Harā refers to "the energy/shakti of Supreme Personality of Godhead" while Krishna and Rama refer to Supreme Godhead Himself, meaning "He who is All-Attractive" and "He who is the Source of All Pleasure".[7][8] In the hymn Vishnu Sahasranama spoken by Bhishma in praise of Krishna after the Kurukshetra War, Krishna is also called Rama.[9]
