I bet these are gonna tear your knives up something fierce.

95% of the people in the world probably won't care or be able to tell the difference, though, so if you are pleased with them ignore me.

The sharpener works well for cheap knives, and the honing rod helps fixing burrs.
Overall I feel that every kitchen should have these two cheap items.
My expensive knives get treated better.

would the empty tea bags be good for cooking with herbs/etc in a soup or stew (to take out easily later) like a cheesecloth bundle would be?

Sleeping bag, or body bag?



Also looking at their sleeping bag section these "banana sofas" look like they'd be great but they run the gamut from $12-$30 for seemingly the same product at different sellers and even at the lower price that's more money than I'm willing to gamble on something that seems like it would be so easy to ruin.

Those banana seats don't really look stable, they're just a long tube that's folded around. It looks like you'd just slip right through the space in the middle if you shifted the wrong way.

On one hand putting it out for extra seating at a house party and having people tumbling in and over it sounds funny, but then you;d have to clean up all the spilled drinks...

I mostly use them to avoid having to wash a sieve (and carry a wet sieve) during my school day.

I'm happy​ with the headphones, worth the 30$ I paid.
The cables are a fun gimmick but delicate, you don't want to fold them harshly as that can ruin the lights.
I bought all those things a while ago so you'd want to search for them to find the current best price.

Someone asked me to post seed pics, but unfortunately I haven't been cataloguing their development super well!

In Oregon, the weather has been cold and lovely and also I'm a bad plant mom. But anyway germination rate was like 95%, which surprised me, but the sprouts mostly languished in apathy hell.

I told my dad to have a space made for my aliexpress seeds so I could see what happens. It's in the faaar back so if they accidentally sold me real titty gourd seeds, my shame will be hidden from the world.



So here's some cucumber sprouts and stuff I put in. Some tomatoes are in too. Everything seems to be coming in as the plant promised but, like I always say, there's still time to be disappointed!

I bought these from Amazon last year, they're a bit plasticy-creaky but they haven't broken yet, the Bluetooth connection is good & strong and the on-phones controls is a plus - I use them at the gym (you get hot ears tho) and leave my phone in my bag.

If you want something a bit better constructed and more stylish looking search for the Bluedio T3 phones, they're my main set now. A bit head-clampy and bass-heavy but nothing a bit of wear and tinkering with your eq won't fix.

Edit: if you're an oldschool MP3-haver rather than a Spotify streamer, look for the plus+ versions of either of the above, they can take a microsd for playback of files so you don't need your phone at all.

I bought mine from 'BOSCO Trading' and it was DOA (would only light for 5 secs) and I had to go through a dispute to get my money back.

I got the white one and it's much less bright in real life than the photos: looks okay in a dark room, but in daylight, the lights are very thin.

Yup. I basically bought those cables just because I've seen them on Amazon at 10$ apiece and HAD to prove it can be had for less.
