Gummy bears are awesome.  Even better when it is Haribo brand ones.  I wish though they had the gummy twin snakes.  Love those.  Though, the Ritter bar selection is not bad.  No where near the level of selection in Britain though.  I went nuts when I was in Britain on candy and that darn butterscotch ice cream (plus the cider, it was in season.  Also, pints are huge!).  I hope that next year I get to go either to Japan or Germany (mmmmm, more interesting food to eat).

Haribo gummy bears are very good.  

 

There's also a candy store near where I live that has more flavors of some other brand that's good too.   Like pink grapefruit, grape, blue raspberry, orange, etc.

 

Different countries can have some interesting food to eat.  ?

I would recommend anything from the 600 series(open back) 

 

Would you recommend the k612 to a metalhead/rap enthusiast 

Looked at the frequency response curves of those hd600 series, i'd say both the K612 and DT990 have a flatter response. Especially the 612.

 

Metal definitely, they are not very bass-heavy though, but very tight. However the DT 990's and P7 have a more pronounced bass-hump on the curve.

But i'm not really sold on the build quality of the AKG. Both the P7 and DT990 are built much better. 

 

I'd say go for the DT 880/ 990 instead. Don't be fooled into thinking you can't run the DT990's off of a phone. I can run mine from my M8s just fine.

Why have I not had one of these before?

Another round with the Chinese, but this time a little smaller. SD 820 +4/64GB. Battery life is promising as it is a 3500mAh pack with a 1080p screen.

Saw that on OzBargain (AU deal site) - my OnePlus One is doing fine with ROMs, but are you planning to leave it stock or ROM it as soon as you get it? Haha..

I don't really have any current numbers, unfortunately.

My best guess would be that I have roughly 1500 records, 600 cassette tapes and around 2200 CDs.

 

To quote Charles Bukowski: "Find what you love and let it kill you".

Wow. Small as they are, that must take up some space! Went to family's house this summer and got to listen to some of their vinyl. It's pretty nice tech I have to say, very satisfying.

Do do take up quite a lot of space, but I luckily do have the room for it. 

Luckily, I'm also married to a person that'll accept a collection of that size. 

 

Vinyl is really intersting, although, I've never been one to claim that vinyl is a superior medium to CDs or other digitial audio formats. 

I just find vinyl to be a really intersting collection format. The same with cassette tapes.

Why have I not had one of these before?

 

That sick mini itx system though. 

[Valentyn]

I went from overjoyed to pissed in all of an hour.  My biggest purchase on myself in a while and of course the GPU is defective.

 

Tested it in the system in my sig, and another Ryzen one. Damn GPU artifacts and crashes the system under any load. Time for an RMA; hopefully I get a working card before Volta GTX 2080 is out.

Odd to see someone buy tea and tooth paste online, then I noticed it's a multi pack. Looks amazing value!

Hope that chair is comfy mate, rather jealous you get weekend delivery. That doesn't exist in Ireland.

We use to not have Sunday shipping, but Amazon changed that.  We always had Saturday in the states.  And, ya I take care of my teeth now after I had to pay a lot out of pocket due to a lack of dental insurance.  As for tea, I'm on a diet where you can only drink water and tea for most of the day.  I have to be on said diet because of a medication that auto-puts 30ish pounds on you and forces you to eat more.  Trying to cut out soda and energy drinks.  As for the chair, it's the best sub-200 USD gaming chair in that style.  It also vibrates.  

I have to take lots of care of my teeth as well. I'm a chronic grinder, unconsciously during the day, and especially in my sleep. I go through a nightgaurd/retainer every 6 months

I've also been cutting soda, mostly due to sensitivity here. I do like Green, and Rooibos Tea though; I grew up with them. Do try the latter if you get the chance.

Still awesome prices you have there on stuff; and very jealous of your delivery. We don't have an Irish Amazon, so need to use the UK one; and they refused to ship so many things to Ireland; especially computer components.

 

Even though they'll ship an LG one, but some brands not at all.

I just was too addicte to a game to care about brushing my teeth, plus it was a walk up 2 flights of stairs to the bathroom from my room.  Then I had a tooth collapse in the far back/bottom left collapse in the back.  Had to get a root canal then a crown.  That's like 2 grand out of pocket.  Ya, even after exchange rates most of the world gets screwed over with products.  I was adopted by an Irish family, and I'm glad they came to the US about a hundred years ago.

Oof! Sounds really rough! I have one metal filling in my entire mouth and lost one tooth when a hurling ball cracked it and the dentist bungled the fix.
Yeah even over here dental is super expensive; it's really that prevention is key. Hope you get it all sorted mate, and keep up the regiment.

Does help, I can imagine  

 

The format can be half the fun. Also since tracks can't be skipped listening to a whole album makes more sense. Loved the covers for the pouches, they get a lot of space and work when it comes to a big disc!

Thanks mate. Just my luck as well. Ordered to get it so I could enjoy this week off. Delivery was screwed, and my stuff arrived in a different country. Then when It finally arrives my GPU is dead. They're collecting it tomorrow, so much for the week and weekend off with the new toys.

I wanted to be able to upload my K95 Plat after taking it into get modded, but I can't justify the price to do it.

Bought some stuff to spruce up the room!
