FYI, it's legit-ish, at least it used to be. You have to spend at least $29 on the nift site to apply the gift card.

Only most everything is $18-25, so you have to spend a few bucks out of pocket to get a couple of cheap doo-dads. Not worth it unless they have something you really need/want.

They're very solid. Excellent build, as I assume the 770 PRO Xs will also have. Otherwise, they have the same drivers in both models. The only real difference between 700 and 770 is the tuning and EQ.

The 770 is basically the same as the old 770 pros with the heavy bass and bright high end, whereas the 700s have a flatter curve. To me they're more pleasant to listen to, especially for longer sessions.

I would suggest looking at the DT 700 PRO X. I've had a pair of 770 pros from the late 1980's for 35+ years that I had replaced the drivers and pads on a few times. Still great cans, albeit power hungry as mine are the 250 ohm drivers so I can't really leave the house with them without bringing power reinforcement. I can run the 700s off my phone and they sound good.

I finally had a few bucks lying around and bought a set of the 700 PRO X's 2 years ago and they've been a revelation. Much more evenly tuned through the ranges, they give you the flexibility to add sound as desired.

I wear them for hours without any noticeable ear fatigue and since you're already used to the fit that won't be an issue for you. They're currently on sale for 222 Euro direct from beyerdynamic.

To me, dark roasts are all about the bloom. I also think 5 pours might be too many, but YMMV. I wouldn't grind any smaller lest you enjoy lots of fines.

I bloom 20g of dark roast with 35-40ml of boiling water for 90 seconds and then I do 3 100ml pours every 30 seconds. This is my everyday V60 coffee.

I mean, I'd eat it if you sat it down in front of me. But:

You definitely shot yourself in the foot with all the dairy, as far as I'm concerned. That's a pretty dense, hearty topping for an otherwise light, vibrant shrimp dish.

I'd either do cream or cheese, but not both. I think about the slaw being the main attraction whenever I do shrimp tacos, and I like a nice fresh zap to mine.

My cabbage slaw is basically:

  • 1 cup purple cabbage, shredded
  • Half a red bell pepper, thin strips
  • Half a carrot, thin strips
  • 3-4 green onions, sliced thinly
  • 1/2 cup of cilantro(parsley if you have the soap gene), finely chopped

Toss that together with the juice of a lime(2 tbsp) and a tablespoon of good, fruity olive oil. Add salt and pepper to taste and that's it. Let those veggies shine, bud!

Gumbo comes from the West African word 'gombo' meaning okra. Literally translated kingombo means 'okra soup'. But there are more variations than you can throw a stick at.

Generally, I find a gumbo made with roux and okra(and/or sassafras) to be too thick. I only do one or the other, either okra or a flour based roux. I'll serve with filé powder on the table as desired.

If you have ice cube trays, I'd freeze it into coffee cubes and keep them in a freezer bag. It'll taste way better for longer and there's much less risk of mold or funky smells developing.

I have some from Easter that I'm still using and they're still quite strong. I toss a few in a glass when I wake up with some milk and let it thaw for a bit, I'm a fan.

It feels like it could be a corrupted win11 install, maybe a bum drive? Can you create a bootable thumb drive and try reinstalling? I'd swap drives and format if possible.

If the same issues persist, Microcenter has a rock solid return policy as long as you're still in the window.

If you're outside the window, I say give your wife the main account and dual boot Linux for you. Good luck!

Mounjaro and Ozempic both have savings cards you can sign up for on their respective websites, as long as you aren't on government insurance.

I had the same issue last year, my A1C was 6.9 and insurance denied coverage. I got the savings card from Lilly, had my doctor call in the script and BAM! 25USD for 12 weeks of Mounjaro.

I didn't even need a prior authorization anymore. Apparently results may vary, but I got lucky. Try them both if needed. Stay vigilant!

I'd bet a bunch of vocal groups from the early days of vinyl would fall into this group. They're probably mostly in Las Vegas and Branson these days.

As a personal memory, I played a few gigs with The Diamonds(most known for their hit 1957 record "Little Darlin'") back in the early 2000s. They were having a bit of a resurgence after a PBS series aired. At one point the original bass singer was back, but he wasn't long for this earth and somebody else was in his place by the second tour I did.
