^^^ For a moment I thought it would be made exactly as a tennis ball (i.e. not inflatable) and was considering buying it just to see how they would ship you the whole thing for 6 bucks MrUnderbridge posted:What kills me are the reviews that are: "Just got it pretty quick, haven't used it yet, looks good, five stars." eSporks posted:I saw a few reviews that looked more trustworthy, that amounted to "not as good as wiha's normal quality, but way better than normal Chinese junk"

I recommended these cases about six months back:Hirayuki posted:
I still love them very much, but my S7 Edge's battery started bulging  and I had to upgrade it before its time. (I guess when the battery bulges, it's time.) So if anyone wants this case in blue or gold, PM me and I'll send them over for the cost of shipping.NB: I don't think the case--which is very very thin and plastic--had anything to do with the bulging battery, but it may be that the case prevented heat from dissipating as efficiently as it may have without it. PMer beware?

I searched AliExpress for "pregnant phone" and found these gems: AEKU M9 Ultra Thin Mini Card Phone Low Radiation Small Pocket Replace Phone For Children Pregnants PK C6 M5 E1 M8 You know, for pregnants!  They're not a bad idea, though, and probably too small/simple to contain much spyware.

Speaking of grounds, has anyone had any experience with coffee percolators? I want to switch from my beat up old aluminium one to stainless steel, but I'm not sure whether the heavy metals from AE percs are likely to be worse than the slow aluminium poisoning I'll get from my existing one. https://www.aliexpress.com/item/Sta...2832755885.html

Aluminium poisoning from cookware isn't really a thing, I wouldn't worry about it.

I won another freebie! http://s.aliexpress.com/muuAR7vm I still have not finished my awful diamond painting that I won, but the seller said that's fine. I don't think they ever printed out a large proof of the image, so hopefully they will clean it up after I finish it and write my review. No clue if I should include the flaws in the print in the written review or mention it to them in a private message. Edit: (maybe  ) Here is a butt exerciser. I don't think it actually goes into your butt, but the image sure makes it look like it. Bored fucked around with this message at 21:13 on Jul 17, 2018 |

Got some more stuff in the mail since last time. Recommended: A drawer for my desktop PC. A wooden shelf that I use for my keys. A mouse bungee. A quick release bar clamp. An aluminum case for my soldering iron. Two electronic lighters. Yet to test/use: A replacement shell for my Switch case and two for my Joycons. Cable organizers A USB Hub. A chromatic harmonica. Crap: This Dark Souls figurine. Had to go to the local customs office today to pick up the headphones I ordered. Thought I'd travel to the other end of the city, open the package for them to check the insides, show them the bill, pay the customs fee, and be on my merry way. There wasn't even a line, so I'd be out of there in no time, right? Well, I opened the package in front of the custom officer and the woman first checked the box for a CE certification. All electronic devices that are imported to Europe need to have one, and it was there. Great, can I pay now? Nope. While she was checking out the phones, a second customs officer had gotten up from his desk and approached us. The guy had a look on his face that that screamed ''I'm here to make your day miserable''. He instantly brushed his colleague aside and started inquiring whether the headphones have any wireless capabilities. Nope. Showed him the cables, too. He then asked for a manual. I showed him the one that was written in Chinese and English. He then started smiling for the first time. ''And what about German?'' Turns out that the manual for imported electronic devices are supposed to be written in German too, lest you start inserting the headphones into your anal cavity or tie your shoes with the cables or some bullshit. So in order to guarantee my personal safety and that of the fatherland, the headphones have to be forwarded for an official technical checkup by the ''monitoring agency''. If they don't pass the test, they're basically 60 Euro down the drain.

It'll light anything you can fit into the archs.. I have one, it makes an ungodly screeching noise when you use it, could probably save your life if you're lost in a forrest with people trying to find you. My zombie pizza hand pins turned up today.. now I just need to figure out what to put them on.

Weirdly enough, electronic components like switchboards or capacitors or resistors are totally fine. So just order a DIY headphone kit

Looks like a case of ''we have to fulfill our quota till the end of the month''.

Cosmic Web posted:Got some more stuff in the mail since last time. This right there is why I haven't ordered anythinng yet. My last 3 trips to customs each cost more in public transport ticket than the stuff was worth. And that was from regular non EU sellers in the UK channel isles. German customs are assholes. Edit: Of course Deutsche Post sends you a note to pick your stuff up qt customs and generously agree to handle customs for you, for 20+€ service fee plus whatever you need to pay customs.

Someone suggested to buy a Strandbeest kit, so I bought 3. Thanks, it was fun. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=icOMfXcvEWY (Not sure why the YouTube embed isn’t working) http://s.aliexpress.com/77RVru2e The English on the instructions is awful, but with the pictures it’s easy enough to figure out.

Sex Robot posted:Strandbeest one of the best dirt cheap purchases I've made from AliExpress. The perfect present for every kid aged 8-12 ever. It was pretty satisfying to work on. I’m not sure about the age recommendation of 8, but some kids surprise me. Plus nothing wrong with building something with them. I didn’t get it to work on wind alone, and even with a fan it moves so slow, just like the real ones. Either way, $3-4 dollars goes a long way with this. I can imagine them selling this at a museum’s gift shop for many times that price.
