I got another USB adapter: an USB-C to Micro-USB adapter. This is so that I can use the same wires coming from my power bank to charge both USB-C and Micro-USB devices.

I use something like these on all my devices to have One Charger To Rule Them All*. Important to note they do power only, not data, but I find I don't really do much data over cables these days anyways.

*Except my 3DS and PS Move controllers, which are proprietary Nintendo and Mini-USB, respectively.

Yeah, all my portable stuff has that magnetic power nipple. Some micro, some c, all charged off the same cable. You can get the cable with a mix of nipple types.

I've been searching for a physically small CD player for a long time and finally decided on one of these, and also finally bit the bullet and got myself a batman GMT on a jubilee bracelet. Both of these are in transit but taking their sweet time, which makes sense since they're the two things I'm most excited about.

Some other stuff has arrived over the last several months since I've discovered Ali:

My girlfriend likes pandas (because who doesn't?!). Newest Panda Shiba Inu Funny Creative PVC Book Markers 3D Bookmarks Cartoon Animal Bookmark eal Octopus School Supplies and New Cute Cartoon Panda Butt Metal Enamel Pin Denim Shirt Collar Lapel Pins Badges Brooches for Friends Kids Gift Animal Jewelry are pretty great.

Has no trouble at all with 3-4" cordwood which is the biggest I'd be cutting with it.

Only advice beyond wear safety squints is to add some blue loctite to the thread on the tensioner as it has a tendency to work loose otherwise, you can see in the pic the chain is already slack after five or six cuts.

I mean, it's still a bare chain and the safety in this case is a plastic knuckle guard that is entirely superficial. The spring loaded guard is already getting chewed by the chain but at least it keeps the chips from spraying up at you I guess

Oh this won't last long. There's no oiler so I'm lubing it up after each use and will probably top it off before the next use. This one came with two chains and ali is full of spares for $3 a pop though.

I got a similar one years ago.
All it is is a plastic shell around batteries connected to a bit of wire - the wire is a resistor so it heats up and melts plastic. It's a short, thin piece of wire though, not like the white little pad makes it look like it's a broad band - so if you don't put exactly the right amount of pressure and move it across at the right speed it either doesn't get hot enough to seal, or it cuts/melts as you drag it across.
Still, I just used it to foil pack gardening seeds from reused biscuit/chip packets, so it wasn't the end of the world if I had to do it a few times.

What were peoples favourite retro game sticks that you can just stick straight into a tv? I've seen a few that promise a lot which makes me a little dubious so I'm a little unsure of what's actually any good.

Just for fun, or are you actually planning on building one?

I keep looking at the csc carbon mtb wheels in my cart, but I’ve been too scared to actually buy them yet.

I also have a spcycle carbon gravel frame in my cart, but I know I’m not gonna buy that, don’t know why I haven’t deleted it yet.
