lol an AliExpress selfown; wanted some cheap shorts for in the garden, these came up on the ‘hot deals’ page for about a tenner and they actually had them in sizes bigger than a child might need:

https://m.aliexpress.com/item/32975759875.html

Should have looked closer, they are not all-cotton, the main black part is pure unbreathable nylon, no inner. I have had them on sitting on my bed for 10mins in a regular temperature room and my thighs are already sweating. Of course, nylon has no give in it either so I feel they will explode at the balls the first time I step higher than a doorstep.

Just pretend that's your fetish. That way you haven't wasted :10bux:

was all ready to order but had a look at the user photos / reviews, yeah that's not even a good knockoff you're selling mate :mad: And of course the internet is flooded with so many of the KO versions that trying to google image the original source of the pics is needle-in-haystack time. Bah.

If you happen to find the original for sale could you PM me or post it in the thread? I know someone that would love this.

also stop trying to dunk on the person who is doing something unless you link evidence you're doing something better and more effective on a $/$ basis (this is the Aliexpress thread after all)

I donated 36k to charities in 2015 so I am qualified to say that they are a valid target for dunking on. PM me for my tax reports.


I bought a bunch of PC watercooling gear on AE. The fittings are all pretty great, same quality as bitspower stuff. I doubt the cold plates are as good as say EK, but they perform fine. They also sell nice copper radiators with great fin density
They respond really fast to questions and they have checked all my orders for parts compatibility before shipping even catching a few mismatches I didnt notice.

You can get most of the same stuff on amazon for a minor markup which is nice if you are just missing one thing to complete the build and you want to stay matching.

If by 36k you don't mean 36,000 backpacks you are clearly out of touch and need to conduct an n=1000 survey on the short and long term needs of a diverse group of homeless people before you even dare think about suggesting you want to do something charitable that isn't 100% min/maxed.

Did a bit more sleuthing, best I could find was this german seller on amazon,

https://www.amazon.de/Mayaadi-Kunst-Lederjacke-%DCbergangsjacke-Leder-Optik-WS-901/dp/B06WVBRTKY

the customer photos seem to be a lot nearer the mark

https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/71ViqJpdxgL.jpg / https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/71pfCeWM9aL.jpg

and there's a brand label / tag - Noémi Kent - Paris / Style Number : WS-901 - if you want to chase it further. No decent sizing info on the page though and the (google translated) reviews says it runs v. small so it may just be another Cheap from China knockoff? Spent as much time as I care to :o:

the kits are full of a lot of stuff most fishermen dont need or want, but maybe some wild rear end lures and borderline illegal synthetic bait would go over well.

Some titanium grilling gear you get locally engraved could be cool. I know I would want that for myself

(though interestingly, google gave me that result when I typed in 'black opinion', without even a 'did you mean...?', so we really can't be too sniffy about others getting names wrong in a foreign language)

"I'm here to donate toothpase and kick rear end... and I'm all out of toothpaste."

I'd recommend getting a bulk pack of Miswaks instead of toothbrushes and toothpaste. Just look at the results of comparison studies on that Wikipedia page - Miswak wins the brush+paste combo. Also, less plastic waste (icky). And, consider that some homeless have dogs: they can use Miswaks, too.

Here's some spiritual content - mostly buddhist:
The Lotus Sutra in miniature capsules. I think these are supposed to go inside a statue. I don't read chinese, but I've left them at chinese restaurants as a kind of Terma.
Fire Puja Papers. Vajra is indestructible, but the image of the vajra is not.
Green Tara statue. I thought it might look nice lit from below with LEDs.
Lapis Lazuli, one of the seven treasures.
A rosary.

I am sure HELLOMYNAMEIS___ isn't going to trust their life with them when crossing the Sahara, but just be warned that they occasionally point convincingly in the wrong direction and need a little tap.




I waited and this didn't turn up within the delivery time so I submitted a dispute. 3 days later, no response from the seller, so a refund. Same day, it appeared in my mailbox.
If they'd bothered to reply, I'd have felt guilty and tried to send them some money.
