That is the most beautiful thing I have ever witnessed, I hope that somewhere out there is an Optimus Prime that sings "You're Welcome".

The item is unavailable now but this is the seller. If anyone finds the Optimus that sings How Far I'll Go I got dibs though.

I've ordered a few (men's) hoodies from AX and they usually have the opposite problem, like the sweater fits perfectly everywhere else but the hood is comically, unusably small.

My outdoor compost bin is just a $3 plastic bin from WalMart that I drilled a bunch of holes all over for airflow and drainage, but these compost bags seem cute and the ability to scoop the finished compost from the bottom without digging through the trash on top seems nice.



It's too late to get them by July 4th but Rocket Copters are great if you want to keep a group of small kids occupied on a summer evening. AliExpress sells both the As Seen on TV ones in packs of 6 copters and 3 launchers and a cheaper knockoff sold individually.



A lot of the claims dryer balls make about purifying clothes are effectively psuedoscience but they do actually help fluff up towels and stuff, especially if you have a crappy dryer. And at leass than a buck apiece it's cheaper than fabric softener. They also sell the wool ones but I've never used those so YMMV.

I was getting more of Kingdom Hearts vibe myself.



e. I wish AliExpress sold slow cooker liner bags, it's one of those things that is really useful and convenient but at the same time paying 50 cents for a small plastic bag feels obscene.

I've had ordered for me and I have ordered a t-shirt, both times the size was 2 steps above whatever was ordered. I regularly wear a men's S, but ordered a L and it fit just fine. Same for my friend's XL -> 3XL.

The shop might also have a sizing translation/measurement chart in the description of whatever you're buying. 's what I used to judge for my own sizing.

Thanks I've ordered t shirts two sizes larger and had them still be too small so it's good to hear two sizes was enough.

The actual measurements on AX are usually correct. That's how you should be picking sizes rather than just going up two.

Yeah pretty much this. I picked XXL based on my tape measuring and stuff that's arrived has been just about right.

Except for the hood.

More gardening suggestions please! I have shelf greenhouses for my basement but I need some lights, maybe a heater?, some flats to grow in... Plus anything outdoors that might be good, like planters or random garden tools and crap.

I'm a paranoid person and feel cheaping out on chinese led lights is a mistake. Like they're going to be on 12 hours a day and do generate heat.

Last time I did research on led grow lights people tended to go for the cheap chinese ones or build their own, they're probably fine. Hope you like weed forums if you want to do your own research.
