I've seen lots of advertisement for USB video microscopes like this that show them working with a phone. But does anyone know what app I need? I asked the seller, but they've yet to respond. The package just says "Works with Android", with no further information, and the listing doesn't mention an app, either.

I am very interested in the "crafting/art supplies at a major discount" aspect of Ali but have never ordered anything so I would definitely appreciate a writeup on anything even remotely adjacent to that subject

I would say AE is good for if you want variety in a project, not so much the discount. Like, your local craft store has maybe 5 or 6 diamond paintings (or paint by number kits, or cross stitch) and maybe the designs suck - you don't want a fairy or a kitty with a cute pumpkin. AE has hundreds of designs (mostly stolen) that you can get at the same or slightly cheaper price. It takes a while to scroll through all those designs to find some you like, but even my picky rear end found three I would actually put on my wall.

As you can see from the size of her hand, this is going to take a while to complete


I wanted a peacock because I thought it was the ideal subject to shimmer via diamonds but I wanted one that had blue AND green and showed a face not just feathers. Settled on this one:
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/4000233106414.html




And I love abstract art and finally found a good one in a big enough size to get a decent rainbow effect. The last one I bought had a mostly brown/black center from the shaded colors and I hate it. This has shades of color but nice bright true color in the middle.
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/4000372912157.html




In all I paid about $60 for the three all from the same store. It's about what you'd pay in a craft store, but in the subjects I want and the sizes I want. It may take me years to complete these though. I also forgot to order the storage containers for the drils, and some of these have 48 colors so... it's a lot of little plastic boxes.

So I have a particular fetish for square shaped digital watch on NATO strap. I buy Casio watches and aftermarket parts all over ebay/ali and mix and match them for my own amusement.

Today I got my latest batch straps from ali in a single group shipping envelop. I thought I would make an effort post. I could post it on one of those watch subs but I couldn't be bothered.


Straps from left to right, I got most of them from ali, just search various combination of "camo NATO strap Nylon" words and you should find most of these
#1, it's about $10 shipped, I really like the feel of the nylon fabric, it has medium thickness and softness. It looks good on any of my dark colored watches.

#2 I like 1 so much I got a blue version. Still looking for a khaki version with black buckles.

#3, #4 are from the same vendor, cheap $5 strap. It looks good but feels way too plasticy. Also too thick to fold the long strap. Not recommended. Identify these cheap stuff by the square shape buckles.


#5 I got this $2.87 strap just to give it a shot. But the nylon is surprisingly comfortable to the skin, and the buckle is solid. However the 20mm width is really 19mm. I probably will get another in 22mm.

#6 My only 22mm wide strap. It's too wide for my taste. It's good for heavy watches

#7 You can find this cheap, probably under $3, recommended.

#8 got this stretchy design just to see what it's like. It's completely useless to me. Because the springbar end pieces are metal not plastic, I can not use a knife to manipulate them and fit them on other watches. It's designed for one of those Samsung S watches.

#9 Sports velcro strap originally made for 20mm Samsung/Huawei sport watches. I modded it into regular NATO strap

More straps!

1,2,3 are not NATO straps, they are single pass "Zulu" strap. It's hard to use them, because if the fabric is too soft (#3), the watch move around the strap; if its too hard (#2), it moves around your wrist. Only the right amount of softness and thickness let you hug the watch tight to your wrist.

#3 is about $13-15? It's one of those premium strap they advertise for expensive analog watches. The fit and finish is very good for the money

#4,5,6 were from Fossil website. Fossil seldom carry NATO straps but all the ones I brought from them are good quality troopers. Recommended.

Collecting old Casio watches sounds like a good way to get yourself on an NSA watchlist. Apparently terrorist bomb makers all learned to make bombs using old school digital watches, to the point where certain models are notorious. I loving love them too, though.

They're here, they're on the list. Also, that's a really weird and specific collection and I'm all about it. Do whatever weird rear end poo poo makes you feel cool. I dig it.

lol do you think they were used for bombs because there's something special about them and not because they're cheap and ubiquitous?

That's exactly what happened to all of the "pokemon elfs" I bought a while back. I brought the box of em in one day before I had my own mini, but they quickly became our basic enemy minis that weren't the Giants with cool painted real ones. Still haven't gotten em back from the DM but at this point think that's the best place and use for them, I just bought them because wonky knockoffs are amusing to me.

And yet, somehow, now it's my fault ...
In a case of "everything old is new (and on Aliexpress) again", consider this "British Plug Toilet Seat Home Winter Thickened Fleece Heating Pad Winter Fleece-Lined Four Seasons Universal Waterproof Toilet R", which looks a lot like the crotched toilet seat covers my main aunts knitted and placed on their toilets. Bonus points for the enthusiastic video, hailing it as a new invention:

Also noticed the insane amount of stuff A packs into the URL, like several lines of values, presumably saying who I am and where I came from.
