Time to let the brain gather dust then. I usually forget most of my regular orders I make anyway and they tend to come in the same week I ordered them. lol

As somebody who lives in an area with water so hard I'm surprised chalk doesn't come out the taps, you'd be amazed for a night in vinegar every few months does for even the shittiest showerheads, and that's something you could do in a hotel room.

Yeah I feel you. My water back home was the same way till I had a water softener installed a few months ago. LIke 5+ years ago I bought a showerhead on amazon that was 100% clog-resistant, and till this day it still hasn't clogged up.

However, I'm at a place with desalinized water, so hopefully it isn't an issue.

I was looking at some things on Ali and was balking at the price being $100 (they are playing silly games with stock availability/skus to make them appear in search for $40)

Same item on Amazon is $600

This one (clever girl pin) seems pricey but it’s like $15 on Etsy, so I’m grabbing it.

Sometimes your item is the last thing on a full cargo ship that goes out immediately, sometimes your item is the first thing on a new cargo ship that has to wait to be filled. It's all part of the charm

I think that different shipments are grouped together and dispatched whenever the cargo container is full so there's always an element of randomness.

Pip-Pip old chap! Last one in is a rotten egg what what.

I like to imagine there's a container stood on up against the side of a factory somewhere and as random doodads get finished and packed they're thrown out of the window and funneled in. As it approaches full a rube-goldberg contraption closes the doors and tips it right way up onto a passing lorry heading for a port.

What's with all of these parking number plate things I'm seeing the freebie lists lately? Do people really put their phone numbers on their windshield when they park their cars? Why on earth would I want to give out my phone number to anyone passing by?

e: example https://www.aliexpress.com/item/Car...2860932135.html

It's because the parking situation in China is so bad that everybody double or triple parks all the time. You leave your phone number on your dashboard so that if you block somebody in, they can call you to come out and move your car when they need to leave.

Hey, girl.
I got lucky with the cargo-ship because these inflatable lounge things arrived in a week! They seem pretty sturdy, but we'll see if they survive a festival or two.

Still waiting on a few patches, but the rest of my random crap arrived in the next week. Got some cool fake hair, an iridescent phone case, and a led-strip with a motion-sensor that is perfect for underbed lighting.
