Dude, ix-nay on the oice-vay.
I was looking for weird decor I could turn into a mail organizer and stumbled upon this. I just like that one of the patterns you can get on it is a map to Gotham city. I think I'm gonna go for the 3d moose head puzzle instead. There's also a unicorn head, but I don't know if my roommate's mail would stay up behind the horn.

A while ago people were buying mini arcade machine thingies. Does anyone have a recommendation for a decent one? I think they’d be perfect for a friend who is into retro gaming stuff.

NO ociffer, it's not a flask it's a Transhome Creative Notebook Flat Water Bottle 350ml Plastic Paper Sports Travel Outdoor Drinking Water Bottle BPA Free Drinkware !!

Water... with Drugs.


Honestly these are kinda cute. The entire lid comes off, not the smaller unscrewable top though. I can appreciate the shape, which would make packing it at the bottom of my purse a lot easier.

Maybe this was already posted in the past 100 pages that I skimmed through but RobotDyn is a pretty cool seller if cheap Atmega boards, Arduino modules, transducers, and various electrical accessories for practically nothing tingle your nerd senses. I can personally vouch that the quality of the UNO board was well above "ali-express" level.

I make games!

The ceramic heating lamp arrived today. The bulb itself works just fine, but the mount is cheap as gently caress. You're supposed to be able to rescind the bulb back into the mount a bit and adjust that with screws on the side. Problem is, the screws are too long and dig into the bulb fitting. Fortunately I was able to shorten the screws with a Dremel (finally a use for that thing). At least the mount included a cord with a switch that actually works, so that's nice.

A wig that looks like natural hair or at least a professional haircut, if they're anything like my old roommate. I'd also assume AliExpress is not the place for the second, but when you make assumptions you make an rear end of Uma Thurman.

There sure are a lot of google results for Uma Thurman wig, but most of them are wigs to look like her.


I think this was a wig, though.

A lot of my friends wear wigs and they all buy them from eBay which I assume is using the same suppliers. Don't buy the cheapest or most expensive listings and you'll get a decent wig. Look for things that are around $10-$20 and you should be fine.

Sadly I don't think DT carries the more exotic seeds that AliExpress did. I don't see a single blue strawberry or titty pepper.

Like I am p sure that not importing random, poorly labeled seeds is actually cool and good. Like we don't need more invasive plants kicking around the US.

i bought coleus seeds from dollar tree last winter and they did pretty well:



you can see it on the left side of the big window in this picture, to show the scale (and i had a hanging one on the right side near the thermometer, too):



i can't find any more easily accessible pictures atm but it flowered A LOT and i saved the seeds for this year :) i'm going to get them started soon, in a bigger pot than last time since it kept falling over. i never really pruned it at all.

i saw the display of seeds when i was at dollar tree yesterday but i don't have money for soil/pots/etc. right now :( i'd love to make a raised bed on our balcony and grow some leafy lettuces and radishes and beets and stuff in the spring, and then something else over the summer. i think i'm gonna focus on getting my christmas cactuses and succulents thriving, and get tomato plants started before it gets too hot to set fruit.

I wouldn't worry about it honestly, aliexpress also has a herbicide and pesticide section.

Yeah the light is directed almost entirely forwards so you can still see clearly. That little bit of light that isn't makes them uncomfortable to wear in complete darkness though.
