This made me laugh, thanks. Nothing would be more Renn Fest than a drunk princess who looks like she drunk-lathed her own mug, honestly. I don't think I could even make one that holds cider. *plastic clinking*

There's a lot of frog stuff on Aliexpress apparently. (My nephew is too old for bubbles but I think my sister's cat might get a kick out of this.)

Here is one, you have to choose it as one of the styles/options. Looks like pretty bad quality but it's something.

I've been able to spend some time with the licensed wiha screwdriver set. Overall, not quite as good as normal wiha quality, but I am definitely impressed. Its not cheap Chinese garbage and well worth the price if you have a regular use for it.

The case is solid sturdy aluminum, it feels like you could run it over with a truck and it would be fine.
The bit driver is amazing well designed, all sturdy aluminum with a nice solid feel in the hand. Good weight. The back end has a spinning knob common on precision screwdrivers so you can spin the tool with 3 fingers. It moves very smoothly and feels like there is a bearing in there with a nice dimple on top for you finger. Feels great.
All the bits are held in place by a magenet. You can turn the holder upside down and jostle it a bit without anything falling out, but they are easy to remove and put back. No weird plastic clips to mess with or break.
Its a nice form factor package that takes up minimal space, well designed.

The bits themselves are the only place the normal wiha quality is lacking a bit.
Using a file to compare hardness, it doesn't dig in like a poor quality soft bit, but it does leave scratches. My other whiha's the file just skates across unless you use pressure.
The phillips bits are all fantastic. I appreciate that they are JIS instead of phillips since I deal with a lot of tiny JIS screws that love to strip. For those that don't know JIS is (Japanese Industry Standard) The look of the screw and bit and very similar to phillips but slightly different profile. A JIS bit will work in either screw, but a phillips bit will strip out a JIS screw easily.
The Torx and Allen bits are better than most, but I definitely notice they don't fit as tight as my whiha ones.
Not sure about the other bits, as I don't really use them.

Definitely a recommended purchase. If the bits were as hard as normal Wiha and the allens and torx fit better, I'd pay 40 bucks it. Its about my only complaint.
If you are looking for a good precision screwdriver set and what an upgrade from the typical garbage sets you see, definitely check it out.
If you are a professional technician with a large work space and don't need anything compact I would probably recommend just buying individual drivers from Wiha or another high end brand.

If anyone finds a seller with decent menswear, I'd love a link. There's all sorts of nifty fashion pieces available on Ali (and other Chinese sites like Gamiss) but it's just such a crapshoot whether it's any good. It doesn't seem unreasonable to find some unbranded dress shirts, etc of decent quality, but there's just no way to tell from the listing. Even the reviews aren't reliable, because they could all be left by people whose idea of quality clothing is whatever they find on the discount rack at Hot Topic. I do most of my clothing shopping at places like Nordstrom Rack and Barney's Warehouse, so I'm probably going to be a touch more discriminating than the average Ali clothing shopper.

You can see if you can find the same clothes on Amazon. I'm buying women's clothes, but there are a few Chinese brands that sell on both sites. Sometimes the product is cheaper on Aliexpress, sometimes it is cheaper on Amazon. But Amazon should have all reviews in English and some of the reviews will have things like quality of stitching and durability, which is what I look for.

There are men that look at that poo poo, right?

Nail Polish Talk :siren:

I got my freebie from born pretty. The holographic nail polish is indeed beautiful. Alas, my no smudge top coat has turned into jizz, so the nail polish is chipping without a top coat. Some of that is likely my fault for mixing some acetone in because the top coat started thickening up. I'm waiting for actual nail polish thinner and more born pretty top coat to show up since other non-born pretty top coat smudges the poo poo out of stamps. I'm guessing kads also has a decent top coat, but born pretty's was pretty miraculous until it started coagulating.

Here's some pictures of my bottle of born pretty jizz. (I promise there is no actual semen pictured)

My cellphone macro lens that I got from Aliexpress is spectacular for things that are not alive and, therefore, not moving.

Well, worry no more! AcmeCN has you covered!

Got a message today from a vendor that basically said they were sorry but they fulfilled the order before they actually bothered to check their lock up or whatever to see if they had any left of whatever it was I was buying and they didn't. Did I want my money back or could I just let them keep it? :thunk:

Is it marked as shipped or would it auto-cancel the order and refund you in a few days? If it�s the former that sounds like a scam they�d run on people who rarely check the site, but that�s banking on not checking for like 61 (or w/e the cutoff for protection is) days and losing their $2 or w/e... pretty lame scam

Awesome, thanks for an actually useful review! I'm just a hobbyist so this sounds like it would be a perfectly good upgrade over the regular suspect $5 crap screwdrivers for general dicking around with electronics.

Edit: Why not buy this "Perlative ceronometer" submariner kockoff for $20 just today, a saving of almost 40%?
