I think those are those hydrogel things. You soak them in water and they expand, but no idea how large they are. I also don't know if they'd withstand being shot out of a gun that uses air pressure? They look fun for outside, but I've drilled the kid SK hard in not shooting the balls outside dang it because look that one went over the fence and those people never answer their door or throw back toys, so now it's gone forever.

We just shoot them inside because gently caress the police.

I do appreciate the effort, thank you.

Balls for table football, not sure if they're hollow or not, I haven't played it since I was about 10. Diameter is right though.

Has anyone found just some basic p38 can openers? Found them on another site but you had to buy like 1000.

Hmm these are probably as good as it's gonna get! Thank you.

In case anyone else wants to try, I found the gun for sale on a niche site. The description is wrong (or it's a slightly different gun), though, I measured the ones that came with Kiddo's.

Might contact EBay and ask? poo poo coming from China often doesn't have tracking, with EBay. What was the delivery timeframe?


drat you beat me to it.

Warning: poo poo on Wish that's "Free! Just pay shipping" often turns out to be more expensive than the cheaper listings of similar / same. They charge a minimum of $3 shipping (which is all.profit because the shipping is subsized), whereas the listing for $1 may only charge $1 for shipping. Or a listing that's "free" may charge $7, an a listing for $3 may only charge $2 for shipping. Etc.

That phone is actually pretty neat, it's a dual-sim otherwise no frills phone you can use as a powerbank, it's a shame the capacity on it is so low (2500~ish mAh) otherwise it would be great. I wonder if you could tear apart a higher capacity powerbank and use the battery from that in the phone.

Yeah this annoys the hell out of me, when I get an ad on Facebook for a "promo, free, just pay shipping!" Thing, which is always just Ali express crap that should cost $2 and $1 shipping, but instead has like 10 bucks shipping. All the comments of people going "omg this is great!" Makes me want to go all "soylent green is people Ali express with subsidised shipping!" On them. Sad how much it seems to work.

Ah, haven't found any little p-38s, but here's a p-51. These are super useful little tin openers you can just chuck in drawers or keep on your keys for if you can't find a normal one. I think I'm just as fast as at opening tins with this stupid thing as with a normal tin opener.

For "house things", these screwdriver sets are worth having. The bits shred after a few uses, but if you just need to take a laptop or something apart quickly then they do the job.

I have never heard of this happening. He is an idiot for setting the terms of a listing that would lose him money. You can order more from him if you want to, but I'd be really surprised if you were officially on the hook for anything beyond the terms of the original sale.

Try canceling the order. I bet it is refused because the package is 'already sent'.

I've ordered from exactly that guy and he just does this. I tried to make a new order and cancel the old one but it was "already sent". So it's kind of a low-grade scam to get a few more cents out of you.
