That's weird. There are a few different rings on Ali with tritium tubes in them.

Also, seeing that I might be breaking a law set forth by the NRC just makes this project so much cooler and stupid : )

presumably Russia and China don't have the same issues with running out of breeder reactors to make their hydrogen bomb initiator fixin's that the US does, and are free to blow their tritium on making atomic nipple rings like we do our helium on making party balloons

Crisis averted, all of my weird knock-off minifigs arrived. Not too bad quality-wise, except for a few odd hands that were molded too long/wide to fit properly in the holes. The plastic also feels a little different and cheaper than LEGO, but that's to be expected.

I've acquired so much useful junk on Ali express that I think I need to cut myself off before it devolves into hoarding

I got my daughter a planner, laundry bags, makeup brushes, floral tote bags, and hilarious Russian t-shirts to go off to college with :3:

Welp, had to open my first dispute. Timer got to 5 days, the merchant claimed a £5 ePacket was bounced by customs and had "arrived back today" and would I like a refund via PayPal?

All my other parcels arrived two weeks after I get a notification. This one I'm in week 9. :v:

This is why I added the "or they're dicks" part. It's odd, every non-US seller I've interacted with has either been grovelling so much that it makes me want to put them at ease (e.g. I'm either giving private feedback but will rate 5 stars, or want a refund and will rate 5 stars if refunded) (although I don't say that second one) OR they have complete gently caress-you attitudes.

I'm not really into the whole EDC thing but a tactical key tool is something that I've gotten a ton of use out of over the years and for only a buck is totally worth it. They also make for great cheap gifts, same with a credit card multitool.

I've had one of these for a while. I think I used it a few times to open tough packaging, but as you say, for a buck it's a cool toy.

Great wedding/bachelorette party gift.

Easiest way to do it is find what you want here - https://shop160028089.taobao.com/ then go to an agent like ytaopal.com who will order it for you and ship it to you. You can also look at what the store has to offer here - http://aooko.v.yupoo.com contact the store on WhatsApp and he'll tell you how to order it.

I'm a weirdo who loves sending snail mail and I am enamoured with these random postcard lots. I think these would be more postcards than I'd ever actually send in my life, though.

What stickers/seller with stickers was it that was well reviewed?

Just got a stark white laptop and I wanna cover it. Can't be NWS though, so I'm having a hard time deciding which would be the best bet.

Bonus if they're Disney themed... :neckbeard:

I ordered a ton, here's some of my posts from earlier in the threads re: stickers

Guy Mann posted:

100 stickers for $3, was linked earlier in the thread and is probably the cheapest way to get a ton of good colorful skater-y stickers like you'd find in a 50c/$1 vending machine. Only had one dupe (a lion painted in Joker makeup) and the quality was pretty good across the board. A few naughty words and pot leafs though so go through them before you give them out to kids.

80 Pokemon stickers for for $3.59. Original 151 only aside from Togepi, it's done in the style of the anime rather than the actual game artwork so there's a couple with Ash but sadly no Team Rockets that I saw. The quality was surprisingly good, there were only two or so that looked off-model and one sticker that was obviously fanart/done in a completely different style.

51 spacey stickers for $2.44. I really liked the galaxy patterns but it also had 8 different variations of the NASA logo so the variety was kind of disappointing.

Guy Mann posted:

Also re: sticker bombing this retro travel label pack is great for base layers because all of them are simple geometric shapes so they cover lots of space. I finished covering the front and back of my junker for $30 and a lazy Sunday afternoon, it's gaudy as gently caress and I love it.




A trick is to search within the Sticker category to exclude all the giant wall stickers that dominate most search results when you search for specific types of stickers.

Sadly at a quick glance I can't seem to find any Disney ones aside from some Sofia the First puffy stickers, I tried some more generic terms but general cartoon packs seems to focus more on superheroes and anime and classic animated shorts and searching for girl stickers (Disney stuff is listed under girls a lot) is mostly just pinups and softcore porn. Also in general when you buy packs built around specific licenses they're more expensive while also being lower quality with a lot more obvious off-model bootlegs and fanart. Also they're pretty fly by night so most of the more specific themed packs aren't even listed anymore.

On the plus side Disney stuff is relatively common in general packs, both straightforward official artwork and cheekier stuff like Princess Jasmine as a graffiti artist/terrorist or psychedelic Mickey Mouses.

Let's get clean and smart


I ordered a gizmo to transfer tapes to MP3s so my husband can digitize some stuff for his Grandma and he's testing it on some tapes he recorded Alice In Chains on back in the day. Works okay, but it picks up interference from his mobile phone.

Are the Chinese spying on my husband's Pokemans?
