Is this an actual legit offer from GasBuddy?
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.

Needs new spark plugs, but old ones make nice placeholders..
Looks right. This is precisely why I always used to do these one at a time. I don't need to think, I just wanna plug!

You've got to be all mine, all mine

Can some please explain to me why it is that your health insurance can deny you medication, even if your doctor says you need it?
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!

Chicken, Andouille Sausage and Shrimp Gumbo
Reply in thread
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.

What are some Ship of Theseus bands, where all original members have been replaced by someone new?
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.

Decaf beans
Fresh Roasted Coffee makes several tasty decaf and half-caf varieties. There's a decaf dark Sumatra variety that I've made many a late night espresso out of with great results. It comes and goes, though.
I've tried several of the lighter decafs since I have a friend who's all but allergic to caffeine, but he loves coffee; and of those, the Ethiopia is my favorite.
If you don't mind shelling out, there's a variety pack with 12 samples of various decafs here

Without googling it, what is a rap scallion?
I'm almost certain it's a fancification of the word rascal. Like some dude in 1750 said 'what's rascal short for?' and his quick witted friend said rapscallion and yada yada now it's a word.

Shrimp Tacos with Cilantro Lime Rice
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:
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!

New Windows 11 laptop worst experience ever.
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!

How to adjust pour-over recipe?
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.

Looking for new headphones, closed back with detachable cable in a standard format
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.
