These things are so handy. I have a mini one that I keep on my keys for an emergency :20bux:. I bought my husband one on Amazon for something like $18 a few years ago, and my $2 one from Ali is only missing the water seal (which is obviously more important for pills than for cash).

Edit: 81¢. Not $2.

Let's get clean and smart


The baby shoes I ordered for Ralph Jr where good, although he's already outgrown the 3-6 month sized ones even though he's just barely 12 weeks. He's pretty big for his age so I can't blame it on the Chinese sizing entirely though.

https://www.aliexpress.com/item/sim....7c324c4ddrwX3M

I got the fox ones, but don't worry they got raccoons too (all baby stuff is either foxes or raccoon).

I also got a bunch of wall stickers to gussy up his room and make it look less like the home office it used to be. They are basically matte contact paper that's adhesive. The printing quality ranges, but this one, the world map, was real good and super cute. They don't stick to textured wall well, however, which is what our house has, so I put them on the doors to all the Ikea cabinets and poo poo. The map just barely fit on the door to his bedroom.

Regarding the lead chat from last time I posted I got all paranoid about teethers so I did research. I got him some that were made in Germany but while shopping for them I realized that in the Netherlands at least they don't have to put the country of origin on the product - just the importer (always a Dutch company). Hema, a big retailer here, sells teethers for around one or two euros that I'd bet a million bucks are made in China. This thread has made me extremely aware of country of origin, esp for stuff that's going in his mouth, so I guess thanks AliExpress thread for keeping Chinese plastic outta my boy's bloodstream.

Oh, also my mom sent me some of my baby stuff and one of them was a rubber elephant that I had just gnawed all the paint off of, which my mom informs me was my favorite thing to chew on when I was teething. Made in China proudly stamped on the bottom. Goon origin story right there.

My Kate Spade knock off DUSUN Rivet Personality Dinosaur Design Fashion Leather Crossbody Mini Messenger Bag Women Chain Purse Female Shoulder Bag Gift came in today.
Despite being a bit squashed, I'm actually impressed by how well made it is. I wouldn't pay the usual $50 for it over Ali, but for the sale price of $24 it's a steal.

It smells of dubious chinese manufacturing chemicals, so I suppose I'll hang him outside overnight so I don't gas myself to death.

I bought a LeMax 2 smartphone in the summer of 2017, and used it until I got a new phone this fall. Since I had a new phone, I decided to install LineageOS on the LeMax. To do this, I had to put the phone in developer mode and unlock the bootloader.

As I tried to do it, I discovered that it was already done.

gently caress knows what was on that phone, but I'm guessing my dickpics are backed up somewhere in China now.

There is a real problem with out-of-country software devs offsetting the nearly nothing you're paying them by sneaking whatever some gangster asks them to into the product. Not exclusive to poo poo on Ali, I worked for a while for an American company who'd take contracts from an ISP and hand them off to some random loving guy somewhere in Asia to assemble a team and do all the actual work for, and even the poo poo they'd showcase to impress new clients tried to download a bunch of crap that made antivirus software freak out. Probably most stuff is fine, but it's a lot more systematic than the exploding Chinese Fitbit.

Yep, in fact Alibaba has vendors that can supply spinal implants, hip replacements and a full array of surgical instruments to put them all in. My company was in talks to work with a different Taiwanese supplier for bone screws and short run surgical implants. They do everything through whatsapp.

It's most likely a fidget spinner:

Javid posted:

From the photos I'm 95% sure that's a legit quality fidget set. If it's a lovely fidget set, charging that much money is a ballsy maneuver when you're trying to compete on aliexpress pricing.

Exhibit A:



You have (clockwise from top) a spinner, a clicky thing, a small metal thing with different surfaces to fondle and play with, and a fun complex fake gun that I'm sure clicks and spins and does all the fidget things.

Exhibit B:



The fake bullets do not shine like stamped brass, but like lathe-turned steel. The cartridges are just dummies and probably not even matching any real cartridge's dimensions though they do resemble 380s.

Exhibit C:



There's no logical reason for there to be a plate that comes off with screws on the OPPOSITE end from the cylinder.

The gun and the button have keychain loops. The other two don't because the design prevents there from being one. There's no trigger or any visible mechanism, they avoid showing where the "barrel" would be. I bet the "cylinder" just spins freely and the fake cartridges are weights you can take out to change how it spins. The dumbbell thing in the last pic appears to screw together and hold the cylinder in. I do see drag lines of some kind around the cylinder so maybe those are detents to make it click-click-click or something.

You know how some of us have a thinkin' gun? Same concept. I'd probably pay 10% of that price to get a set to play with, and people who have 10x my meager income are a big demographic to target.

The other 5% would be that china has just stopped giving a gently caress and is openly selling firearms on alibaba. I won't discount the possibility.
