I was about to order these, but ended up finding that Donner will send you a free set for creating a rewards account and jumping through a few hoops. If you need more pedal patch cables worth checking out.

Oh, and Jones was there too.

I think the most expensive thing I've bought is NFC tags for making amiibos, but I did buy two of those little diy house kits as a christmas gift this year. (They were 2x the price on amazon, so may as well go ali and get two!)

Oh and the Long Pikachu, I think as a single item that was the most expensive thing, at almost £30.

I found some amazing outsider art in a review







These are the two feather-looking knives:
The larger one.
The smaller one, the review is on here.
The gold crown.

Not sure but I’m guessing the fish is a taxidermy piece - I couldn’t find it on Ali - along with the varnished branch. The background could also be Ali but there’s too many sunset + water prints to find a matching one.

Hey flashlight people, I just ordered a Sofirn SP35 from their website after considering all your generous advice. I've a bit fallen into a flashlight enthousiast rabbit hole and I hope I'm not starting a new gadget collection here lol. But a kinda wanted to have a nice flaslight. Thanks for having the patience to talk me through my li-ion skepticism specifically. I was still under the impression that outside of repair specialists and diy idiots burning their house down, no one was using li-ions like 'conventional' rechargeable batteries. Can't wait to go out at night with my dog and watch out for turds with the power of five suns.

Common misconception that; that fun is relaxing. If it is, you're not doing it right.


I was actually looking for something like that a few months ago!

Wanted to find a collapsible 32 gallon box for making a portable darkbox (for doing old photographic processes) but the original Bin Warehouse one people were using has been discontinued for a while now. This one is slightly smaller but would probably work fine.

Ain't paying AU$184 for it, though.

Wait until you discover the world of modding flashlights. It starts with reading shootouts of various bulb upgrades and goes from there.

They were a christmas present sadly, but I had a look through them and they looked ok, instructions were clear enough. You need to add your own glue and maybe a pack of fimo though for extra details. The boxes were kinda beaten up, but that's just ali.

These were the ones I bought:
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32815241856.html
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/33018283778.html

The tin ones are cheap enough as a throwaway go.

Apparently, now that I've ordered one, they keep messaging me coupons.

As cute as those are, I had somehow assumed you were talking about these prefabricated housing units, one of which I'm 99% sure shows up in the newest Tiger King season as a planned stripclub in the middle of a field full of tigers.

On the topic of shoes, these are incredibly high quality fabric shoes for just $20. They're really pretty too. Sold by a chinese opera company costume maker, but they're subtle enough for daily wear. I'm a M 12 us size and I got the 43, which was barely too snug. I gave them to my wife and am ordering a second pair in the other color. Their blue is much darker than it looks in these photos.

Is the Freebies page in the app broken for anyone else? No matter what freebie I tap (unless it's doing double duty as an embedded ad), the app just takes me to another instance of the Freebies page. If I click on x freebies, I wind up having to tap Back x times to get to the base Freebies page. I've filed a bug report (such as it is), but the behavior persists even after an app update.

On an utterly unrealted topic, I've been looking for a 2.5" drive enclosure that will hold a 15mm drive, UASP and preferably uses USBC.

Took a risk on this thing. Arrived yesterday and it's alright. Controller's a JMS576. My sole issue with the thing is that it needed a small cardboard shim under the drive to stop a slight rattle if you shake it vertically.

I've been obsessed with arcade stuff lately (probably because I met all my closest friends at the arcade back in high school and I subconsciously think making one in my house will cure my loneliness)



So here's my new bookshelf setup with the carpet, lights and half of the mini cabinets courtesy of ali

And I just ordered these:



C$ 88.95 45%OFF | GoGoCAT Arcade Pandora Box HD-out Video Game Console 10000 Games Ture 3D Arcade Joystick for PS1/CPS/SFC/KOF/FC/GB/GBA/GBC/MD
https://a.aliexpress.com/_mNp6zqg

Normally Pandora Box type things are way too expensive to ship here, but I guess these are small enough to come under the line for free shipping

I'm hoping to make a cocktail table out of them
