majestic sea cow posted:would you trust ali ceramic plates to eat off, microwave, put through dishwasher? all of that should be fine. microwave: if they're not high-fire software, they'll get really hot in the microwave. (like, extra really hot, bc they're absorbing tiny amounts of water.) it'll be clear if you shouldn't do it. I had a couple bowls a few years ago that just couldn't go in. dishwasher: if the glaze is super soft, it might dull the finish, but if it's that soft, so will using forks on it. eatin': like other people said, if it's mass produced, that's kind of hard to gently caress up in a way that's dangerous. if it's orange or red, maybe be cautious if you're feeling unlucky, but even then it's probably not a problem. you're more likely to run into lead issues with handpainted stuff from Mexico or Europe (and even that is rare, these days).

norp posted:Why does this product exist It's to give canned beer a draft-like head (but at the cost of the carbonation level). There were a few products unsuccessfully launched in the UK about five years ago to do it.

I already have a device that does that, it's my shaky, arthritic wrist. I can't even pour a can of coke into a glass without getting more foam than liquid

I just received some carnelian. Together with the lapis lazuli I got earlier, they are 2 of the 7 treasures.

I think there was an episode of shark tank where someone showed off the beer foamer thing as some revolutionary invention. I found it odd since they had already existed for a long time, I know at least in Japan they've been common forever, but they actually like the head there.

This is so dumb, I'm trying to order some of these fake legos but the orange Add To Cart! button is oranged out and is demanding "missing information" that I can't find a form for anywhere on the page. I somehow fluked into getting one item into my cart but that was it.

I somehow fluked into getting one item into my cart but that was it. Usually this just means there's a "colour" you haven't chosen, even if there's just one option. Dunno if that's the case here but it's had me yelling at my VDU a couple of times.

Weird. The instructions I found online didn't refer to them, and there was no place they looked like they could go.

Weird freebie in the mix today: Following the link results in a "Failed" message.  Meanwhile, the floodgates appear to be open, with even my earliest orders finally coming through. It may be time to put in another order. I should do an effort dump of my better purchases.

[edit] wait a minute, the description on ali seems to be that it's for converting HDMI to analogue so you can use a newer device on an older screen, but you seem to be going the other way with an analogue feed from the nintendo into a modern display?

Hirayuki posted:Weird freebie in the mix today: I'm bothered more by not knowing the plural of "speculum" than not having a clue what's going on with those toys. I put a batch of orders in April/May with less than 50% delivery rate. Missed the deadline for disputing the last outstanding order so I'm out $1.95 for an undelivered lawn mower blade balancer. Need to check my credit card statement and see if the other disputed orders were actually refunded. Ali indicates they're still pending after several weeks.  Queen bee grafting tools get some interesting translations. I can see "move worm" but where did "dragon" come from?

Work would suggest specula as "correct", but speculums appears to be in common usage and returns more results in the database.

They should fit, the size of the blocks is meant to be the same. Manufacturing tolerances might be more of a concern if you buy the supercheapest.

Had to open a dispute today because buyer protection was running out for a bag that I had ordered. Bummer I liked it. Was an army style first aid bag with Molle strips that I wanted to use to bring my Aeropress on trips. Guess I'll go shopping for bags again.
