Ali Yeezy havers, what size should I go for if I'm usually a US 11.5?

e: Anybody buy a racing wheel on Ali? Figured I'd check with GT7 on PS5 coming out.

To be safe I’d go with the 47 which may be a bit roomy so up to you whether to risk the 46 or not

Somebody buy me some land and a prefab house and I will review it for you.

Same. Like, I’m incredibly poor, which is the only reason I waste time looking at the housing options on Aliexpress. Obviously, I can’t pay for shipping, so I’m not going to buy what they sell.

But, sure! If someone wants to pay for the lot, clearing the lot, international shipping, external concrete coating and the internal construction stuff (electric and plumbing up to local building codes), I would be happy to give a very in depth review on the durability of the polystyrene pods in either near where I live now or where I’m trying to move in the Midwest, if my loving Company would give me one of the jobs I’ve applied for out there.


I don’t think I wanna try this one in the Midwest. But the domes are probably tornado resistant.

It's honestly a little disappointing. No difficulty settings and only three songs, none of which are dynamite rave

This is the one I most recommend if you want a little thing to look cool on your desk:

16 Bit Mini Arcade Game Machines for Kids with 156 Classic Handheld Video Games 2.8 Inch Portable Arcade Console For Sega
https://a.aliexpress.com/_m0d1WV2

It's just a sega genesis SOC with a bunch of roms. The screen resolution is off but it's small enough that you don't notice, and it has composite video out in case you really want to play Comix Zone on the tv. I usually leave it on Super Street Fighter 2's attract mode as an object d'art

It's got flaws, the selection of games is baffling (two different bible games! No sonic 2 or 3 but yes 3D blast) and you can't change them out but there are enough decent ones, and it's cheap

If you want something to play multiplayer with, this is the big one in the middle in that shot:

Clearance Sale 3000 in 1 Portable 64bit Classical Family Game Console Gift RETRO ARCADE Mini Handheld Machines New 4.3 Inch Boy
https://a.aliexpress.com/_mOWDwO4

It has composite out, it can play up to CPS2 (street fighter alpha, marvel vs capcom) and it comes with a pair of usb controllers. I hacked mine to run OpenDingux, it was pretty easy

But you might be better off getting two of these:

Anbernic Arcade Mini 32Bit Portable Games HD Android PS1 Console,video game consoles switch For Gift Best Birthday Gift For Ki
https://a.aliexpress.com/_mKOExLi

It's weaker hardware, a smaller screen and only 4 buttons instead of six, but they're dirt cheap, hackable, and you can link two of them together for multiplayer

And, of course, all of the above are worthless crap for idiots because they use analogue sticks instead of microswitches, so really the bare minimum you should even be looking at is this one:

2021 New Powkiddy A13 Video Game Console 10 Inch Large Screen Detachable Joystick HD Output Mini Arcade Retro Game Players
https://a.aliexpress.com/_mr4bno4

There's a lot of products in the tiny desktop arcade machine space

Mail order houses were a big deal a century ago. Pick a house from a catalogue, write a cheque for $2500 and they send a truck over with a boxed up Ikea house for you to assemble. Maybe they're making a comeback?

My Grandpa did that exact thing. He worked extremely hard putting it all together, but wow if it isn't the most stable and low maintenance house I have ever seen. Unfortunately I am soon going to be in the position to inherit it :( but I wouldn't hesitate that it would outlive me too.

Its hard to filter out the garbage thats using stuff like loving IR remotes and doesn't even have a steering servo so all you get ist "full lock" or "straight".

Not opposed to kits either. I probably have most electronics to kit out a car lying around or i would just order them along with the car.

Would like to stay below a hundred bucks all together though.

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.
Thanks for posting these--they're right up my alley. Currently trying to decide which colorway to get (first).

Pretty much, since they’re both just renderings. If you check YouTube, there are tons of companies asking for money by giving you a tour of their prefab homes that have never been built.

The company that did the barrel actually does have pictures of other buildings that have been constructed in meat space, so the barrel might be constructable, since their other buildings are all rounded.

I don’t think I would trust a lot of them that are renders only, like the second.

Lowes and Home Depot sell prefab houses, and they include delivery and assembly for less than you'd pay for shipping from ali

They're listed on the website as sheds, but once you get to the 1000+ square foot multi storey ones, it's pretty obvious what they're actually meant for

Center in, pull back. Stop. Track 45 right. Stop. Center and stop.

My parents' house was a kit house from a company called Deck House. Literally showed up on a truck with a bunch of lumber, each piece marked as to what it was used for .

Unlike the previous poster, who said that their grandfather created a house that was basically maintenance-free, ours was a creaky, janky, difficult to heat/cool mess.

I got 45 1/3s, wear a 10.5 us. They fit well, they seem wider than normal Adidas but I've never worn anything in the boost line.

Also, there are lots of local companies that do prefab housing and those are way easier to meet building codes with.

For these prefab houses, is it assumed you call in contractors to grade the lot, lay down a pad, and install utility connections before you take over? That takes a lot of the homesteading charm out of the process.

Yes. The Aliexpress ones also only figure in shipping to whichever pier they usually ship to in your country, so you still must pay for interstate shipping.

Honestly I wouldn't bother. Go for something from HobbyKing. They are global and specialize in RC. Not to mention all the parts you can (and eventually will need to) get. Even upgrades are a-plenty. A friend of mine got into RC Drift stuff and I caught the bug and challenged myself to build a far superior car for half the price. Mine still runs 8 years later and his doesn't.
