There are lots of white models who work in China. They’re usually really young and from grim areas of Russia and Ukraine so paid horribly. If you shop for clothes on AE you’ll see lots of white girls. Often doing that annoying pose where they’re pretending it’s a selfie.

Yeah, that does explain why the isn't the usual sellers reply of "sexy". Or using review photos in their expanded product details. I've only ever uploaded pics of the items laid out on the floor. I do appreciate one person across a few product pages that had used an actual mannequin for displaying the received product.

Oh, and Jones was there too.

For some reason, "comealot" seems to be the search term for "Good quality knockoff disney plushes"

I have no idea why, I probably don't want to know.

This is a cute moon / star necklace combo! Might be alright for a tiny party grab bag gift.

To be paired with this, perhaps? Some sort of clip on able ear jewelry that goes on the curve of the ear:

You know uh.... *snaps fingers* that modern art project done forever ago with those bugs which made outer shells, but with items such as gold nuggets, diamonds, jewels, coins, etc. That's what this reminds me of. I kind of want it, but I think you need a gal UV light machine, and I don't have that. Imagine the texture!!

https://www.aliexpress.com/item/Bro...2859493380.html

For all you rice lovers out there: a strainer that clips onto the pot you wash the grains in. Can be used for other things I suppose!

I think the UV light I got on amazon was 6 bucks. It works just fine. However, I did some damage to my nails by not soaking then long enough for the gel to fall off. No more nail gel for me!

I got a letter from the government the other day
opened it, read it

I was looking at reviews for the neo geo mini to see if it was worth getting and if it could be hacked to add more games (no on both counts, unfortunately) and I stumbled across a video comparing it with this thing:

http://s.aliexpress.com/AjErE3U3

Looks pretty decent, and improves on the real thing in a lot of ways. Internal battery, comes with gamepads included and it plays not only neo geo, but also cps1 and 2 games (and all the other standard console emulators that these sorts of things always come with). Uses composite video out instead of hdmi, but anybody that's seen the video quality of the neo geo mini can tell you that's not actually a big difference.

It doesn't look like it, it seems to be optimized specifically for the arcade emulators. It chugs on game boy and snes games.

I did some more research, apparently it's a Coolbaby RS 97 in a different casing

i like the Genuine Apple leather iphone case, it has solid construction and if you go to an apple store they might have a full range of colors to choose from. the black leather has a timeless look and the saddle leather ages nicely

If you’re looking for wallet cases, I’ve two recommendations. Right now, I’m using this one and I’m fairly happy with it. I’m also very happy with this brand - they make a couple of different models and are a good compromise between quality and price. Both types come in a million models for various phones.

Just buy plastic. It's bad for the environment, as are all AE purchases, but this one time means you're not getting leather made from dog skin. ...is there a way to tell if skin is from a specific animal, barring the obvious reptiles and ostriches?

To an extent but for some closely-related things, hair-off, it's really loving hard to borderline impossible. Also depends on the treatment, if it's dyed, whatever. But if you had, like, leather from some kind of bovid, yeah, I'm not going to be able to differentiate those.

if Genuine Apple leather iphone cases contained human leather I think that would just add to the prestige

I grew up riding so it feels natural to touch leather though and I know when it's finely made, regardless of species. im just very satisfied with my purchase as it is

No but they do sue repair shops who send working screens off to have the digitizer (touch input part that is usually what breaks when someone drops their phone) replaced because the ribbon cable has an apple logo on It so they claim it's "counterfit" instead of being refurbished.

Also the power supply on those all in one workstations is unshielded so if you open it up you can literally just die if you brush it wrong


Any self service like say, removing the back panel on a macbook to clean the fans properly instead of just blowing dust further into the chasis with compressed air, voids the warrantee and means you're paying full price for any repairs. The ram is soldered onto the mother board too so if that goes bad uu basically throw the whole thing out lmao




E. that's enough dunking on apple derail. After all those storm delays it looks like the 8bitdo controller I ordered should finally get here some time this week, as it's now in the hands of usps.
