Hey you’re me from like a month or two ago! I did post some options, if you like. I never talked myself into following through.

There are plenty of share zone-level shirts, if you look.

The only way out of the nazi hole is to just keep clicking on other stuff, I think. It still boggles my mind that there’s a “brand label” on AE that is the nazi emblem missing only the swastika.

And you drop off really fast by clicking anything remotely kind of military-ish. It’s pro-military, pro-cop, right on into open fascist-type poo poo.

"what?"

"bees"

"Here's a picture of the package. I haven't opened it. 5 stars perfect beautiful."

The real treasures are found in Amazon User Q/A on random products, for great answers such as:

“i didn’t buy this product why are you asking me for help”

Those responses appear because Amazon sends email notifications to some previous buyers when someone posts a new question. Certain People interpret these question notification emails as a personal communication directed particularly to them and feel that they have to respond even if they can’t answer the question.

At the risk of using Imgur in these troubled times, I bought a bunch of assorted sticky notes. They have not improved my productivity (yet) but they are very cute and bring me joy. They were like £5 when I got them, but even at full price they're more fun than the the stuff I get at the stores here. Plus it's like a lucky dip!

Listen, I've been around a bit, you know, and I thought I'd seen some creepy things go on in the movie business, but I really have to say this is the most disgusting thing that's ever happened to me.
I've only used AE for weed gear and last year I spent $80 on a bong for the shack I boiled maple syrup in. 18" beaker, thick boro, US made equivalents are $2-300 in shops here.

The bong survived two falls from above the door onto a wood floor without breaking and only finally died when the fuckin shack burned to the god drat ground end of last month, so, pretty strong boro.

E: this shows up on my insurance claim as "lab grade glassware", at the moment.

i get annoyed anytime they have a cheap accessory as the first variant or have a high shipping cost to show a cheaper price in search. i tend to buy from the free shipping sellers as a reward for not screwing me around but it’s not perfect.

sometimes adding a second 10 gram item to the order causes shipping to double in cost or free shipping to turn into $4.

i swear no one who seriously shops online has designed the UX for a marketplace site.

Nope, totally sober, shut the thing down like I have 70 times before. I'd been under the weather so not even a beer that day.

Best guess is a smoldering spark under the fireproofing but I'll never know

Im actually kind of surprised they dont. Have you searched under distillation instead of evaporator? Or maybe boiler?

LOL My mom sent me an ad for those from Instagram, probably, that pretended they were Clarks shoes, which is absolutely laughable. I immediately sent her three different models from Ali and she was like "no, no, it's fine, all right, stop."

The ads sure do make them look like little miracle workers, though, don't they? Tempting.

Hm I definitely feel like this has been posted about a lot, but are there any decent sandal recommendations?


Requirements: size 44-46ish (US 11-12), no between-toe or overly complicated straps, and good for beach and my building laundry room. Some modest amount of aliexpress quirkiness is acceptable.

edit: all of the nice sandals ITT are for women. Except that one dude who ordered fish sandals

I got these: https://www.aliexpress.us/item/2251832828685409.html

Looking at the listing now, I do see it says Womens Mens and there are some with bows and whatnot, but mine are just black/grey strap across the top. Gender-neutral enough for me, and I was honestly surprised at how comfy and sturdy they are. I got them originally to use as house slippers but they turned into my go-tos for any quick trips out to take out the trash or get the mail. I really should pick up another pair.

Seconding this. I was actually thinking about digging up a link to my pairs of these sandals when I clicked this one and discovered we were talking about the same ones. Extremely comfortable, they hold up very well, and I'm always tempted to wear them further afield, even though they're technically just slippers. Highly recommended.

Cause it was made for the ps1 on a lovely old crt. Even the newer re released version had some sync issues if I remember right. There’s almost certainly a lag option in the emu software to help fix it but it will probably always be janky.

I think more so than the input lag on new monitors, it's just a really challenging rhythm game. Due to the game letting you freestyle it doesn't give you any specific feedback on where you failed/succeeded and the actual timing windows can be pretty tight if you're playing it straight.

Yeah, it registers success/failure a little different than falling notes rhythm games and it can be difficult to begin, but once you get the groove I feel it still flows.

Can anyone explain what the these things are for? I’ve looked at several and I don’t understand (because each listing is pretty much the same).

I think it allows you to display + partially hide a phone number in your car? To what end? Why would you need or want to display your phone number on some little gadget? I’m baffled.
