Of course, these plush headcrabs are able to do that, too, and have the appropriate opening on their underparts – only, they don't want to! They only want to play and cuddle...

looks like seams along the edges, though this is from elsewhere on the web and the AliX knockoff might just be a flat texture.

To be fair, this is a pretty standard kind of blade for wushu. They're made for martial arts display, not for cutting things. The blade is wobbly so that it makes noise when you stop it at the end of a move. I don't know about Japanese-style swords like that one, but I'm not surprised that it was made the way jianshu blades are for sports use.

I've just been putting together a more serious irrigation system, and to be quite honest, first try Home Depot and/or a local irrigation supply company before ordering from AliExpress. It's all made in China anyway, but you'll have an easier time with returns, and maybe even get some advice in the process. For watering pots, the category you're looking for is "drip irrigation".

Edit: and as far as I can tell the prices aren't much different.

Yeah not just as in "pointing it at someone's eye will blind them faster than the human blink reflex" (which is true) but potentially starting at the spot it makes on a wall can cause eye damage

for added content, I bought a precision scale for making goofy modernist cocktails (which works a lot better than I thought it would) and now I keep getting recommendations for crack pipes

Please tell me more as I am curious. How does a precision scale improve cocktail making? Do you use some sort of concentrated flavours or something?

My car radio can play mp3s off of usb sticks, but the interface really sucks, so I basically just used a few sticks and stuck to random play. The sticks i got were all like 2 GB free promotional ones from a convention, like 10 years ago. But they are now starting to fail.
Whats the cheapest place I could get some similar sized usb thumb drives?
Aliexpress seems to be around $4 for 4GB up to 32GB. But I was hoping for cheaper, smaller capacity is fine.

Don't buy memory cards or thumb drives off Aliexpress, unless it is direct from the manufacturer.

Counterfeiting is rife and while the bios of the stick may say 16GB the card itself may only be 2GB or smaller. Even Amazon has issues as they stuff packages into the same bin, even from third party sellers so as long as the barcode says Sandisk 16GB the fake will get put in with all the real ones.

The advantage that buying local gives you are your own consumer protection laws. If you buy from Aliexpress it will be a crap shoot if you are getting what you are buying. It can be the same for a lot of electronics and other easily faked goods.

You can get good stuff from Aliexpress, I have some very good lightning and USB-C cables but I bought them direct from the manufactures store.

I've bought Micro SD cards from aliexpress before


I've got them from this store/listing - https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32740307068.html

They pass the hardware tests and the serial numbers check out as valid on the official Sandisk website. They even tell you to use h2testw on the listing to test it. Obviously there are fake listings on Ali, but there are real ones as well.

That being said, if you look for sales you can probably get them very close to the same price from Best Buy or BH photo or something, so idk if it's really worth it.

Mostly measuring small amounts of agar agar or citric acid. Or doing silly stuff like combining citric, malic, lactic, and phosphoric acids in precise amounts to simulate lime juice that won't spoil when you bottle it long term. Even if you aren't that silly, citric acid is a fairly useful ingredient--you can even use it to turn gummy bears into sour bears!

A cheap kitchen scale (that I already have) that measures in grams from 1-1000 grams is still typically really awful for trying to measure out amounts on the lower end say, 2 grams when I don't necessarily need it to be 2.00 grams on the dot but I'd like it not to be 0.5g or 4g please

https://www.vconsole.com/download - then get the USB Flash Drive Tester.

This lets you know how fake your SD/USB/SSD is. I buy all sorts of lovely novelty sticks and test them all on an airgapped system for fun. Also the disputes are easy on Aliexpress/wish when you show proof.

Case in point I just received a new X10 Android Box from Wish:



This box promised (for the config I purchased):

> 4GB RAM
> 32GB Storage
> 6K resolution - I'll take 4K
> Android 9
> Allwinner H6 Quad Processor
> 1x USB 2.0 and 1x USB 3.0
> LED character screen for clock etc on front
> And an RGB Keyboard with shoulder triggers and ABXY style on right for gaming
> AU Power plug

RAM:


Storage was accurate so didn't have a photo.

4K - Won't boot to 4K except for one-time initial splash screen so had to run everything from a native 1080P monitor for testing (including above RAM test):


Android 7.1.2 with bonus sketchy kernel version:


Wrong GPU:


USB 3? Nope, couple of USB 2.0:


No character LCD screen o nfront for clock/functions:

They totally misrepresented what that actually is: It would be worthless for a gaming controller, but these little wireless keyboards are actually pretty good if you need a remote control for a Raspberry Pi running OSMC or something similar. I think it might actually be RGB, too. I have a couple of these and you can cycle through the backlight colors with one of the function keys.
